Yes it's normal. The pistils (brown hairs) retract back into the bud as they mature. More pistils will grow to replace them. This is normal. DON'T use the pistils as a method to judge your harvest time. Buy a 60x loop and check the trichomes.

So let him get on with his grow. If he ends up proving you correct then flame him all you want but until that time I can't see what harm it will cause showing us how good/bad it performs. I understand your suspicion but for what I've seen on this thread he hasn't giving anyone a reason really to...

Ffs. Why all the hate?? It's a light and ANY light will grow weed. The man has not paid any cash out for it so what's the big problem?? He is giving an honest opinion on the build quality and will in no doubt keep us all updated on how well the lights perform. I've noticed with the RIU forum...

End of week 4 tomorrow. Growth rates have increased and the stretch has begun. Devil on the left widow on the right. Devil I soil is stretching the most. Widow is soil is really healthy but nowhere as vigorous as the devil's. Non of the widows have shown there sex as yet. The devil's are...

No worries mate. Keep it green.

People stress about humidity to much and to be honest the stated humidity levels on most forums are for "optimal" growth. Weed grows well in very arid environments without our help. It's a good idea to have more than one humidity meter also for comparison reasons. I have 2 in my tent. One shows...

Autos top fine if you catch them at the right time. Fim works even better. Devil xxl auto and white widow auto both fimmed and growing extremely well. They are not even 4 weeks old yet. By the way thats a 75 litre tote they are in.

It really depends on what your willing to pay. If cash is not an issue buy a quantum board or some Samsung strips. We have a member here on RIU who runs a business selling diy led grow lights. Contact him and see what he suggests. Tell him the tent size. Your current light and you require a set...

Yes mate. Very over priced. If you have money like that to spend then buy a quantum board set up or a cob fixture. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quantum-Board-250w-Full-Spectrum-cob-led-grow-light-samsung-lm561c/123123573734?hash=item1caabca3e6:m:mwZUQ_MP0aQBDVFPJQjzutA If you search around you can...

Your grow area looks sweet. I'd definitely supplement the light when you start flowering though. Add a 600 to push you closer to 600w draw at the wall or maybe some cheap led strips to get a bit light on the sides. Your tent looks way better than mine ever has done haha

Yes mate. More light = healthier plants = more yield. What is the actual wattage of the light?? I run 3 different makes of blurple lights that pull 600w at the wall Meizhi 600w (actual draw 260w) Yaetek 600w (actual draw 225w) Chinese 1000w (actual draw 110w)

The look healthy. Just try not to over think stuff and let them do there thing. Your setup looks fine. Maybe later on in the grow when you flip to 12/12 add a 2nd light.

Some people just need things repeated to them so that it sticks. I'll help anyone if I'm able to do so. My 1st grow I had a couple of seeds and I just banged them in the dirt. Watered them and let them do there thing. I've found the best way to learn is to try and do something. Start simple then...

To be honest I'm sure it was me that told him to do it. Stronger light = more penetration. His plants are different ages so thought it would be a good idea.

Re sell it if you can't return it. There are a lot of people on RIU that would love to have one. I understand you want all the top gear. I'm the same when it comes to satellite systems. I've bought stuff just because it looked cool but I doubt I'll ever use haha. You obviously want to learn...

:wall: haha stop complicating everything. In the autopot system your running once the ph is set it shouldn't change/swing. As the plant feeds the water level in the pot drops and it's auto tops itself up from the rez. If you were using a bubble bucket system or rdwc where the roots are submerged...

Let it sink to the bottom so every inch of the water mass gets oxygenated. It will also constantly mix the nutrient solution.

If you bubble the rez with an air pump you can change it less frequently. You can just top the rez up with plain water to drop the ppm and add more nutrients to get the ppm back up. Obviously check the ph every time. Topping off the rez will also stop the water stagnating as quickly. I'd still...

I also found that.

Use the amounts on the back of the bottle but halved. Increase ppm 50 - 100 ppm each time you change rez until you see the tips slightly burn then dilute the solution back down by 100 ppm and that should be your sweet spot. Do the same when you change to bloom nutrients. It's no problem helping...
