Sneak peek at AI:

There are a lot of do-it-yourself carbon filter designs that can be found online, I used one for a while, but as of the last few weeks its not filtering enough odor to be practical. I ended up odering one for my next grow. Found it on Amazon for under $40, but there are a lot of good hydro...

Ha, I feel the same way any time my fiance's family is around and I have work to do, since they don't know, and probably never should. It's like look, I love you all, but get out. We've been having to make excuses for not having them over for the last few weeks because my plant is stinking up...

Fair enough, keep up the good work. They look like they do well the way your doing it. I have similar containers at home, and was using the small ones for seedlings/clones too. I since just started using party cups, and poke several holes in the bottom and a few along the sides close to the...

Ugh, doesn't it suck having family around when all you want to do is tend to your garden? Especially if they don't know about the garden in the first place, lol. Even worse when you know there is something you need to do.

Don't worry too much, the plant is still young. As long as you can get the issue under control, she will be fine. Most plants will lose their first few sets of leaves over time anyway. These spots look like they could either be calium or potassium deficiency, and the yellowing or even...

Judging by the last set of pics, it looks to me like a nute issue, maybe a deficiency. Have you started a higher dose of nutes yet? As I said before, IMO, 1/4 strength is too weak for a 4 week old plant. I think you can start using full strength for them, just go up to half for the next time you...

Other than the MG products, this seems like a nice grow. Don't get me wrong, I've seen plenty of successful grows using only MG, you just have to make sure to flush a lot at the end, otherwise your smoke will taste like metal, and the moisture issues that Toaster mentioned too. You also have to...

Ahh, 4 weeks old seems so long ago for me, the months have really flown by. I'm almost as excited to start my next grow as I am to harvest the rest of the current one.

You're absolutely right, that's something I learned the hard way. Next grow, when I switch to 12/12, I will keep my plant(s) under MH a week or two until they are actively flowering, then start using the HPS. I had some light issues around that time, and ended up using a couple 2700k 150w equiv...

They have air dried as much as I would like, and have been jarred. Now the burping process begins, yay! I've only harvested my smaller plants, and one of them was def nowhere near as healthy as the other, one downfall of a shared res, one plant ate up more nutes than the other. I'm going to...

Well, I guess it kinda makes sense, since studies suggest girls are more likely to be bi-curious than guys. As long as they don't go full lesbian, we all win, lol.

Anytime, I've gotten a lot of help through RIU, so I'm just trying to pay it forward. Not to mention it's really nice to be able to help someone through their first grow or two, because that's where we all have learned the most. A little good info goes a long way, but a little bad info does too...

p Even better than my advise, that's is very good news that you have a dual ballast. That makes everything a lot easier. I only suggested CFL because I was trying to make it easier/cheaper for you, because I assumed yours was just a HPS ballast. MH will definitely make a huge difference. In a...

Best luck with keeping your girls, girls. I know how frustrating hermies can be. I had to kill my biggest healthiest plant last grow because it hermied out of control, would have ruined my whole grow, since the second plant was just barely starting to flower, it would have been nothing but a...

That is a pretty girl, I think she's going to make you very happy.

I notice your plants are having a lot of space between nodes. I think this may be due to the light, they really need the light to be closer, but the HPS is probably too intense/hot for them. "Red" spectrum promotes stem growth, and "blue" spectrum promotes vegetative growth at this stage. I...

Experience is a great teacher, most people make a lot of unforgiving mistakes the first grow or two, but learn a lot from those mistakes. I usually don't even talk about my first grow, because it was kind of embarassing, haha. Let's just say it was a seed from a bag of mids, grown indoors in...

Sounds about right, you basically just want to give your girls enough time to be rooted firmly before you start pulling them over, but for the stem to still be nice and flexible. A good bit of advice is to anchor the main stem in the opposite direction of the first tie down so you don't put too...

If you LST a plant for that long, you will most likely increase your overall yield significantly, since there will be a lot more "tops" than if grown untrained. Look into the SCROG method for when you're ready to flower and you may even get more, because you can get all the branches to where...
