Thank you for all the info and I will look at the YouTube video you supplied. Funny thing - the owner of the Hydro store basically told me the same thing about the Microbes - and he sold me the "Bloom" I keep posting as time goes on......hopefully I can get these 2 plants to harvest.....with a...

Well - I suppose this is newbie mistake, as you don't know what you don't know. I did return to the hydro store and spoke with the owner this time and explained what happened. He gladly refunded my money and told me to keep the product (pure blend tea) because it had been opened. And.....he...

Sorry for the late response - but had a family issue that I had to attend too. Alright - I went to the hydro store a few days back as indicated and told him what I was looking for and what I needed (microbes). He sold me a pint of Botanicare "Pure Blend Tea" I mixed as directed on the bottle...

I just got back from my local Hydro store and purchased 2 different types of microbes - I'm waiting till the growing medium is nice and dry prior to the next watering and will add microbes as the directions indicate. Question - Do you see any issues/problems with my light distance and PAR...

Much appreciated on the advice of microbes - Question - > Where do you purchase Microbes at? Lighting -> LED light purchased from "TimberGrow Lights" / color temp 3500K / - I have the light hanging exactly 24 inches from canopy top with a PAR reading of 340 My exact model is here ->...

Sooo - after re-potting and cutting back on the water, I noticed that things were not getting better, matter of fact the leaves on both plants are starting to turn yellow down towards the bottom of the plant. The only thing I knew to do was to start reading on all things cannabis. What I've...

Ok - so I went to replant the girls in larger air-pots and had quite the surprise. I couldn't believe it - but the roots of my plants in question were actually going out the bottom of my cups at 3 weeks!! I was really amazed at the root growth. Soooo - got them in the 3 gallon air pots and they...

Ok - I'm over watering and will most certainly try and refrain from doing that. So here is a newbie question - just how can in insure that I'm watering at the correct time?

Good info to know.....I will wrap the cups in some dark paper for now......and next time they'll be in something that light can't get through. As far as watering......I'll throttle back and see what happens.

Much appreciated!

What would you suggest on the PAR issue? Am I off-base on the numbers and height above the canopy?

> 2 plant pics attached > Indoor grow / cabinet with Timber grow lights > Watering every 2 to 3 days > Using Promix HP with Perlite (2 to 1) > This is week 3 > PAR reading was kept at 350 for the first 2 weeks with lights 20 inches from canopy > PAR reading was moved up to 500 on week 3 with...

Greetings all.......just posting another pic of my Cabinet. It is now painted matt high luminescence white paint (thanks to advice from "OLDMEDUSER")!! I also have my LED grow light from Timber Grow Lights hanging. It's coming together and I'm looking forward to getting my seedlings started...

Thank you for the advice on the paint vs wall coverings - - paint it will be! I'm going to try and finish up this weekend and I'll post more pics.

That's a great point on mildew.....I just never thought about it that way. I think if I do paint it a good coat of primer would be in order first to cut down on multiple coats of paint being soaked up by the wood. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
