    I know, I know, but how much longer?

    I was thinking the Blackberry would be less than a week and the haze would be the next week after that. These are all complete shots in the dark though. I have no experience except looking through threads on here. Thanks. I'm no stranger to photosynthetic life, just to growing cannabis. Lol...

    I know, I know, but how much longer?

    This is my first grow and I need to get set up for harvesting, trimming, and drying. Just trying to get a ballpark on these. All auto's if it matters. I have included my wild ass guesses from zilch experience. Blackberry Kush - I think about a week? Super Lemon Haze - 10ish days? Royal...

    2 x 5 closet, how many plants?

    Are you going SOG from clone or more "full sized" plants? If the latter I wouldn't go over 3 and that will still require some training and pruning to keep it in check. Soil I assume? I wouldn't bother with more than 3 gallons. Just my opinions and they're worth as much as you paid for them.

    Great Lakes Genetics ?

    You know, out of convenience I have shopped at a few other seed banks recently that offered credit or crypto payment instead. Your statement right here just earned my patronage. Not many who haven't put their ass on the line understand the risks of running a business that feeds your family, let...

    Indoors Spring 2020 auto grow... Join me...

    A little late to the party but I'll join in. Seeds were germinated March 16th. Coco in 3 gal fabric. Here is the beginning of the grow. 1st Timer, CMH/LED, multi-strain autos. What could go wrong? Here is the results of 7 auto's in a 4x3. Day 56. F@%$... Nothing a mad rush to set up another...

    Water cooled $5 Samsung strip build

    Unfortunately not for welding. This is one tool where you absolutely get what you pay for and HF does not make a worthwhile welder, especially a TIG. Even the budget models from known name brands are pretty bunk. You're looking at four figures to get into a decent TIG setup. If you want to do...

    New to coco after 17 years in soil.... Here we go!

    Yes to this. Pot size in coco dictates how often you need to water much more than the size of the plant like in soil. There are people growing trees in 1 gal pots, just needs fed several times a day once the plants reach a certain size.

    Do I need a different size tent?

    Not to derail but I thought you needed a good 6-8 week veg on a photo when you were growing from seed? I only ask because I'm running auto's while I get my photo seeds together to pop and am about to begin that journey. Those are all autos. 2 LSD, a Blackberry Kush, 2 White Widow, a Royal...

    Do I need a different size tent?

    Go with less. I went with 7 and this is a nightmare. A good nightmare if I pull it off for a few more weeks, but truly a pain in the ass. Never again

    Do I need a different size tent?

    Personally I went coco instead of hydro for my first grow. It seemed a little more forgiving, and although I have read pure hydro systems will give better growth rates, I'm more than pleased with how the coco has performed. Fairly simple as well with a good PH pen and PPM meter.

    Do I need a different size tent?

    What light are you using?

    Do I need a different size tent?

    Most lights have a square footprint where the light is directed beneath them. Raising it higher than recommended will give you more spread at the cost of intensity but it should work somewhat. You'll likely find that using a 5'x4' section of the tent gives you better results.

    Is this normal or an issue?

    If your canopy is blocking light to the lower leaves they will yellow and fall off. Need pics of the whole plant and basic info in your grow. Temp, humidity, PH, medium, lights, and what and how often you are feeding.

    Samsung 5 dollar strip builds

    The B drivers can be dimmed lower than 50% but to dim you will need a potentiometer or 1-10v DC. The A series dim manually via a set screw from 50-100%. If efficiency is any concern then go with the driver with a max rating close to where you want to run them. If you want the option to drive...

    Samsung 5 dollar strip builds

    No mea culpa necessary. These are still a great deal. I ran the calculations several times before purchasing. I'm getting 90% of the performance for 60% of the cost compared to LM301Bs and I can spread it over 2-3x the area. Drivers last awhile and heatsinks and wiring basically last forever...

    Do I need to use normal led temps while using with 315 cmh?

    Yes. I have a 315w with 150w of LEDs in a 3x4x6 tent.

    Do I need to use normal led temps while using with 315 cmh?

    I've had no issues with temps in both of those ranges. This is my first grow though, so take that with a grain of salt. At mid to high 80s I did see some signs of heat stress so I'm trying to run about 80 for the daytime maximum.

    Samsung 5 dollar strip builds

    The possibilities are endless... They may not win the lumen per watt race but I bet they are way up there in the lumen per dollar rankings. Either way, my plan is to run 20 of them at around 15 watts a piece as side and supplemental lighting. The price allows me to spread this wattage very...

    1st Timer, CMH/LED, multi-strain autos. What could go wrong?

    What a difference 10 days makes. Figure I'll get about a pound... 4/29
