    My little watering & anchoring invention...

    I'll start by just saying I have nearly zero patience when it comes to watering. In other areas I seem to have far more. For instance I could manicure for hours but for some reason I just hate sitting there watering things slowly to ensure good and even saturation. Water too fast and I'd get...

    Ideal driver for 3x Luminus CXM22

    Hey guys, would would be a solid driver for the CXM22? I was planning on going with the MeanWell HLG-185H-48A based on the options available at CobKits but figured I'd open it up and ask the community. I'd like to shoot for at least 150W and it doesn't need to be MeanWell. Thanks in advance!

    Second grow is like second child

    It's amazing to me how similar a first grow is to your first child. I obsessed about my first grow every waking minute, bought all these nutes and tools, etc. Basically every time I'd open the tent my attitude was "Do you need something? What do you need? What do you need? Shit, is that a cal...

    Energetic strain reccomendation

    Hey everyone. So my very first grow went well. I opted for auto strains King Kush, White Widow and Kandy Kush. I've tried them all and while they all certainly offer a very physical and relaxing high which is perfect for my winding down stash, I was hoping you guys could help recommend something...

    2nd Grow - Exotic Genetics Citrus Berry, Organic, Mainlined, 300W CXB3590

    Ok so I'm onto my second grow. This time I'm going to go with an organic mainline based grow with some exotic genetics citrus berry. I've moved to 5G RootTrapper II soft pots (used 3G smart pots last round) and amended my used foxfarm ocean forest soil with buildasoil's craft blend which...

    Oscillating temp controlled heater in tent ok?

    Hey guys, so I'm on my second grow and noticed that last night temps inside the tent dropped to 65°. I'm running photos and have already tweaked my lighting schedule so that the lights are on during the coldest part of the night. I do have an extra oscillating space heater that I can throw in...

    Cree/Osram truck light bars for side lighting?

    Granted the 6K temp wouldn't be ideal for all situations and this particular light bar has combo beams consisting of 18 at a 60 degree angle with the other 18 at 30 degrees but the form factor is pretty convenient for 126W and at $35 with a 1 year warranty, would these (or something similar) be...

    Is my pricing estimate right to partiton out a grow space?

    Hey guys, I've got a fairly large finished attic space where I'm currently running my tent with an 8" exhaust plus carbon scrubber dumping out of a semi-opened window. Fresh air is coming in through an eave via a semi-opened knee-wall door. I'm considering partitioning out maybe an 8' x 10'...

    My first harvest!

    Howdy folks, I finally made it to harvest. Damn what a rewarding experience. I've got more than I know what to do with yet I can't wait to pop more seeds and try a photo organic grow in a few 5G pots. Here is a photo of them freshly jarred after hanging until their stems would audibly snap but...

    Amend used FFOF or start from scratch?

    Hey guys, I'm really intrigued by the idea of an organic no-till setup. I've read a lot of inspiring things in this section and feel like my head is going to melt from soil recipe searches alone. I was wondering though if it would be safe to use my single use (currently in flower) FFOF as the...

    First time swellage

    The below shots are exactly 13 days apart. This is my first grow and it just amazes me how much they've filled out in such a short period of time despite dealing with a few issues that started popping up early flower. I'm sure most will think this isn't s*it haha but I'm floored and wanted to...

    RootTrapper raised bed

    Hey guys, I'm prepping for a SCROG via 2 7G or maybe 3 5G plants within my 4'11" x 2'7" x 7' tent. I planned on going with smart pots (currently running their 3G versions) and stumbled upon RootTrappers product line and ultimately their 2'x4' raised bed. We own our place so mobility isn't...

    If you only had 5 ingredients...

    If you only had a total of 5 ingredients to build your soil with the requirement being that it provides everything a plant needs through bloom, what would they be? Generally speaking of course. If a particular strain needed more X, then maybe a custom tea is brewed or one-off amendment made.

    Germinating next round while flowering wraps up

    I've got some extra space in my tent. Currently I have 5 autos deep into flower. My lights are cranked all the way up but raised very high so I was thinking I could get a jump on my next round. Assuming no fungus, mold, bugs, etc. are present do you see any potential issues with me germinating...

    Ghost Genetics?

    Anyone heard of them? I've got a few freebies coming with my exotic genetics order and can't find anything on them.

    Is flowing 6" from Cree 3590 bonkers if still cool?

    Hey guys, two of my candy kush's upper leaves have been pointed upwards and they also happen to be the chunkiest & shortest of the 3 strains I'm currently running. I've been keeping the canopies even via these mini milk crates with holes (I'm using smart pots). I bumped this one up another...

    Yellowing/dying lower leaves and my analysis paralysis... Any advice?

    Hey folks, I've got some lower leaves yellowing and as of today they've jumped as high as the third node. Initially I was thinking an N deficiency however the last time I gave them a feeding containing a modest amount of N (tiger bloom @ 2-8-4 3/4 dose) a few of them showed some clawing. I'm in...

    Soil recycling process

    Hey guys, I've got about 18G worth of quality soil that I'd like to re-use in my indoor grow. My plan was to mix in a yard's worth of fresh grass clippings, veggie scraps, some dead leaves and let it cook in a black garbage can for a few weeks making sure to rotate it a few times. I figured I'd...

    Necrosis rust spot issue on a few leafs

    Hey guys, this is my first grow at week 5 on a few auto strains. Last watering was this morning just after this shot, hence their wilted/dry appearance. Here are my parameters: Soil: FFOF Age: 5 Weeks Nutes: None until day 21. Had a few 1/3 doses of grow big, a 1/2 dose of tiger bloom once...

    Week 4 check-in, what say ye?

    Well here they are, my first grow after 4 weeks. 3 different auto strains here. I feel like they look really good but figured I'd throw them out there to see what you think. Four of them are on plastic crates to match canopy height with the king kush in the back center. We've got 2x White Widow...
