    First Grow - Please take a look and offer your kind advice and good counsel

    Hi all, I swore I would never ask this question because I know the plants can be flipped to flower whenever I want. However, I'm going to ask whether I should flip to flower anyway. My goal is to get about an ounce per plant - so I wanted to know if these plants are big enough that I can...

    Wtf is wrong with my bitch???

    0-10-10 is not a blooming nutrient solution. It's more of a bloom boost that you should use with a proper bloom nutrient solution. You need at least a little bit of nitrogen which your plant is not getting. Get some FloraNova Bloom and it should work well with a 0-10-10, which is the same...

    t5 2ft 2bulb HO question/lights

    Your plants should acclimate to lower humidity and it shouldn't be an issue over time. Keep misting your plants and you may want to keep a wet sponge or two in with your grow which may raise the humidity, although only slightly. How is your temp? You should be more concerned about the...

    Weird seedlings, whats wrong? PICS

    I agree - looks like nute burn. Also, a 400 w hps is a lot of light for tiny seedlings and too much light can stunt growth and cause the leaves to curl up. I would consider switching back to your CFL's for a bit until the plant starts to get a bid bigger and can absorb more light. I would...

    Five Weeks From Seed Into My First Grow.....How Am I Doing?? Thoughts?? Suggestions?

    Thanks. Yes, I am going to flower with the T5's. I know I won't get the same yield as I would with an HPS light - but sticking to the T5's for the full first grow. I am having enough trouble battling rising temps with T5's, so I don't want to make that a more difficult challenge. Anythoughts...

    Five Weeks From Seed Into My First Grow.....How Am I Doing?? Thoughts?? Suggestions?

    Thanks for the feedback!! @Chucky - I know. I try my best to keep the leaves off the floor but they keep falling down. My plants aren't very tall - hopefully that issue will take care of itself once the plant gets a bit more height. @Aloe - If you look that the third picture, I've tied...

    Hey all, Firstly, thanks to all the kind folks who have given me such great advice and help thus far. While I struggled with a number of issues at the beginning, things seem (at least to me) that they are moving along quite nicely. I would love to get some feedback and hear what you have to...

    38 year old newbie...lol

    Welcome!! Just so you don't feel old...I'm a 39 year old Newbie and 4 weeks into veg on my first grow. Can't help you with your seed issue. I'm from your neighbour to the north and we have the fortunate luxury of seed stores where seeds can be purchased legally. In any event, thought I'd give...

    Hi there!! I'm hoping some of you can provide your opinions on this. I am in my first grow and I have 4 plants in a 2x2 tent. I have a2ft 8 bulb T5 light fixture I have been vegging for about 3 weeks and plan to veg them for another 2-3 weeks before flipping them to flower. Currently, I am...

    What should I get? My first time

    If you think you are going to grow in your closet at home without your parents finding out, you have another thing coming. If you don't have an inline fan and a carbon filter, your WHOLE house will stink.....not just your bedroom or your closet. The smell will permeate through your entire...

    Helppp!!! pls take a look of my baby weed plant

    Yashiroda - something looks very wrong here. In addition to the browning of the tips, the leaves that have come in look really narrow even for a seedling. I would agree with the advice already provided which is that your growing medium seems to be the problem. You can transplant into a...

    6" inline fan is plenty for that grow tent.

    Club T5

    Question: I am growing four Liberty Haze under a 2ft 8 bulb T5 fixture. I am running a full spectrum with 4 blue and 4 red bulbs. Plants are exactly four weeks from seed and are doing reasonably well, except starting to show signs of heat stress. I am having a tough time keeping the heat...

    Stealth Grow

    Indicas tend to grow shorter than Sativas. You have ample space for probably three and maybe even four plants. To best efficiently use your space, you will need to top, FIM and/or LST to get the plant to grow more bushy as opposed to vertically. You also need to deal with odour and will have...

    Little help?

    If you flower at 20" - your plant will grow to between 40" - 60". I don't want my plants to get too tall. My goal is to Top, FIM and LST so it takes as long as possible to get my plant to about 18" which is where I plan on flowering. That said, I keep screwing it up when I try to FIM. All of...

    Little help?

    From what I understand and based on my limited experience is that all plants and strains are different. Some grow tall and some grow bushy. In my humble opinion I'd rather have a bushy 10" plant with lots of nodes and tops than a lanky and stretched plant that is 18" with one top...

    flora nova

    Don't use the Grow for flowering. You'll have to switch to the floranova bloom. I've also heard that the Flora nova Liquid KoolBloom is a good bloom booster. Once you mix the nutes with water it shouldn't be too thick. Remember it's highly concentrated in the bottle. What I do is take...

    New Grow - Temperature Problem.....please help

    T5 fixture that holds 8 24" bulbs. Also, it's not too bad in there. The best I've had it was 52% and the worst 35%. While 35% is not ideal, it should work fine and the plants should acclimate to the more arid environment.

    New Grow - Temperature Problem.....please help

    Thanks Bob. It is day 13 from seed. The problem I had was that everything just stopped. I deduced that my plants were under stress from the heat. I am going to gradually bring the lights closer to the plant to see exactly when the temp starts to rise again. A lot of this is trial and error...
