Vegged for 4 weeks with 400W MH. Flowered for 9.5 weeks with 600W HPS. I grew in a DR90 tent and flipped them when they were just over 12" tall. They ended up being between 3-3.5 feet tall...the max height I can handle in that tent.

And how's that in terms yield for 5 plants? Low, average or high?

How long can you keep nutes for/store them? I already talked to a Canna rep about this and he said you can keep them well past the best before dates printed on the bottles providing there is no contamination but didn't give me an absolute date (like 2 or 3 or 5 years). I don't think I'm going...

No bugs at all. I was thinking of something like a Lysol wipe for the tent...is that ok?....Just wondering if the carbon filter will stink/smell in my storage room. I don't want to open my closet one day (or someone else opening it) and a strong odor of weed blasts out of the closet..lol

So I finished my first grow. Used a tent set up, carbon filter, cool tube, etc.... I'm not going to grow again for quite some time, so do I just pack up the stuff or do I have to clean anything first before putting it into storage? (more specifically the carbon filter and the tent). If...

Hey guys, haven't been on here for a few weeks now. My first harvest went well...I grew 3 DP's Blueberry's (indica) and 2 DP's Freddy's Best (sativa). I only grow for myself (this being my first time too) so I don't have a scale to weigh the final amount. They are currently curing in 1L Mason...

Yeah, they look great man!

Definitely recommend the PK as well. It is cheap and very effective. Within 24hrs of applying it, my colas exploded in volume growth. I even asked AZ if that was normal I was so shocked at how quickly it happened. Thought I was just seeing things....lol

Your water has to have something in it. Is your tap water distilled or something?..lol I have the same Blue Lab stick and it's great. My tap water has an EC of 0.3 which is pretty clean. I had to use CalMg+ because it was low in those minerals.

Instead of the Boost, I used H&G's BudXL and Botanicare's Sweet (I chose Berry flavor)

Welcome back JB. I don't know you since you left before I joined and started my grow, but thank you for starting this thread. It's been awesome and AZ has been uber helpful in any questions that have been posted here (I try to help where I can). That guy deserves +rep x 1000 :)

My rule of thumb is to stick my finger 2 inches deep into the coco. If it's dry there (not damp), then it's time to water (if you do the pot lifting method, you'll find these 2 techniques coincide with one another). Keep in mind, I hand water/feed my plants until there is about 10% run off (in...

Check your town's water supply website (most have one) and you can check the last analysis of your water to see what's exactly in it and how much of each element.

Since you're using tap water that probably is too much. Get your pH down to 5.8 and use about 1-2ml/gal of CalMg. Having your pH too high induces nute lockout.

You need an EC meter to check your EC/ppm ;) If you're growing in coco, that's way too high of a pH. Optimal pH for coco is 5.8.
