Sweet, sounds like a nice simple plan to me. Just gotta watch my temps if I add extra lights, probably running the exhaust fan full time would take care of it. Ah also, given the 4' ceiling, when do you reckon I should switch? I guessed accounting for 2x - 2.5x growth during 12/12 would be a...

Hi all, I'm growing a single Female Seeds C99 from seed in a pretty small cab (1'5" x 1'5" x 4'3"), hempy bucket method. It's five weeks since sprout and it seems like it's gonna be a short, bushy little girl. I'm worried about light penetration issues and wondering how to maximize the yield...

Super stoked! :joint::hump:

Thanks for the reply, htidwelshy. I'm not adding nutes yet, as the cotyledon are still on and looking green. I'll drop the pH in the water that's going in to an amount that will be right when it comes out. Cheers!

Hi all, I'm growing a Female Seeds C99 in a dixie cup sized hempy and it's been 8 days since sprouting. I've been adjusting tap water to around 5.8 pH and have been watering several times a day until the roots hit the rez. The plant has a dull light green colored look to it: The camera is...

I know, right? I couldn't bring myself to say anything about that one... That's the thing I'd read about peat; it's fine for growing when mixed with perlite and a small bit of dolomite. It's always worked great when I use the peat pellets to start the seeds in, but I don't know what they put in...

*UPDATE* So I tried to grow once again, following the advice I received and yet again the damn little things died. I'm not a total dumbass, so I concluded that every soil and peat that I'm getting around here (I live in a bassackwards country) had something in it that was the culprit. What am I...

I knew about flushing, but good to know about re-fertilizing after. I've only gotten to the point of feeding on one of the grows but I'll keep this in mind. Holy shiat, what a difference it made when I cleaned it off! I guess I'd gotten used to that sound... I did not know this about...

Haha, yeah all the variety of opinions I've read over the years seems to be confusing me. Trial and error I guess. Props to everyone for the help, much appreciated. Mistakes it seems I've made and corrections I will make: 1) Filter tap water and pH balance it. 2) Cut back on the water. 3)...

It's definitely dying :cry: Here's what it looks like today. Anyone got any clues from the looks of it what's causing it?

Thanks for taking the time with the in-depth pointers, Dr Kynes. I really appreciate you guys helping me out. I guess maybe part of the problem I’ve had is knowing what advice to listen to; in past posts I’ve gotten things that directly conflict with what I’m hearing now. So...

Alright, thanks for the good stuff, Figong. Would having too high a pH cause the plants to brown at the tips like they have been? I've read varying things about using lemon juice but it's all I've got at this point. In order to find out exactly what pH I've got I suppose I need to get something...

Also, is it possible to pH balance the water without up/down? I've had a native speaker search up and down (pun) for it to no avail. This country doesn't seem to have it, oddly enough...

I only used nutes one time on the second attempt and like I said, I know I gave them too much. The pH of the water is between 7 and 8 (tough call with the test strip). I'm sure it's possible to filter the water somehow, but would I need to with bottled water? The seedling in the pic (Female...

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully for a year now to grow from seeds and I’m getting so discouraged. I live in a country where I don’t speak the language and access to “standard” growing supplies (like I can’t find pH up/down here anywhere) is limited, or needs to be shipped in at high cost. Here’s...

Yeah, I've just been reading about the blackstar problems. I'm vegging 4 plants from seedlings now with a prosource 90w UFO in a pretty small cab (1.5' x 1.5' x 3.5') and am looking to buy a flowering led after I get another cab to keep the mother in. Initially I liked blackstar because I'm...

I've heard good things about Blackstar lights in this forum, but I've found two different sites to buy them from. What's the deal? http://www.lighthousehydro.com/ http://www.blackstarled.com/

But do you think, based on the CFM, that the carbon in a 12" long x 4" dia. filter would be able to clean the smell? I have no experience with these things.

I've got a small 18" x 18" x 4' 6" cab in my bedroom that I've started my first grow in. I have a 4" fan for circulation that's rated at 92/106 CFM and I'm going to build a carbon scrubber soon to go into the cab. Do you think this fan will be sucking air too quickly through the carbon for it to...

On it! Yeah, I found both strains separately on google but not sold as a hybrid from any seedbank. That's where he said he bought the strain from, so I don't think he crossed them himself. Huh, maybe I'll just have to live with not knowing what these seeds are. It's killing me though, cause...
