    Wish

    There doesn't seem to be a perfect place for this question but this seems to be the closest. Has anyone else been seeing advertising on the app for hemp seeds? Its ridiculously cheap for generic 'hemp seeds'. Curious what it's all about. Hell, it would be a fun conversation starter to have a...

    Converting to Outdoor

    Hey RIU family! I've being doing fairly well as an indoor grower for about 2 years. But now circumstances have changed and I am going to be moving. Instead of owning my home I'm going to be renting a property for 2 years (and saving a ton of money.) That being said, I do not want to grow...

    Not nute burn. Almost over!

    OK team. My plants are deep into flower (approx 4-6 weeks). A week ago I noticed one of my plants had small amounts of burn on the tip of the top single finger leaves. Just two or three leaves on one plant. Tonight I was noticed the same thing on another plant. Just single finger leaves on...

    Where am I...?

    My first grow has had its ups and down but now I'm at the point where I'm seeing plenty of nice powdery flowers all over the place. The only issue is, I'm not sure where I am in the grow. The first time I spotted a pistil was 10/17. The first time they were really noticeable was 10/23. Man...

    Defoliating

    Currently I have 3 ladies who are 2 weeks into flower. The bud sites are becoming more prominent and I want to ensure they are getting enough light to fully develop. Over the past few days I've noticed that some of the original fan leaves (from the stalk) are blocking a lot of light from these...

    First Update

    Hey RIU! Just wanted to post up a quick update on my first grow and maybe get a little feedback. I never started a grow journal for this since I figured I would fail my first time but next time I will for sure. Here are my 4 plants. One Delicious Candy feminized. Two World of Seeds Pakistan...

    How do YOU start?

    When you start seeds, what soil do you prefer before moving to Fox Farm Ocean Forest or the like? No hydro or aero. Using Black Gold seedling mix right now and I'm not happy with it. I can't help but think its causing some of my issues. It holds water like a sponge, not needing watered for...

    Time for good news

    Seems like I have nothing but bad news when I post. But I'm lucky to have such a helpful group here to guide me through! My seedlings have been above soil for about 13-14 days now and I'm having serious doubt's about their health. Their leaves are starting to sag a little but also twist a bit...

    Failure to Thrive

    I have 5 plants growing in the garden right now, the freebies delivered by Herbie's. Five of my 8 seeds that germinated. Two Afghan regular, two World of Seeds Pakistan Valley feminized, and one Delicious Candy feminized. All plants seemed healthy at first but one seemed failing to thrive. The...

    Feed or Transplant

    My seedlings have been above soil for 7 and 8 days as of today and I'm worried they are starting to become nutrient deficient already. The soil I used was Black Gold Seedling Mix in red cups. I don't see any nutrients listed with the soil. It's mostly peat moss with some perlite And dolomite...

    Purple Seedlings

    On Sunday, September 4th I germinated 8 seeds. On Tuesday, September 6th, 5 of the 8 popped and were transplanted into Black Gold Seedling Mix. Today is September 8th and all five are above soil and looking pretty good. My only concern is noticing they have purple stems starting from the soil...

    How much in your area?

    Maybe I've overlooked a thread that's already been started here asking the same question. If so, just guide me to what I've overlooked: How much does an ounce go for in your area? In my part of the Midwest USA a quality ounce is about $350 but you can find decent for about $150-200.

    Apollo

    Setting up my first grow room and I couldn't be more excited! Before I go any further I need to explain something first. I don't even smoke. Growing is only a hobby for me to see if I can do it. Its something novel to enjoy and share with my friends. Really I just want to compete with myself...

    How do you like to pay?

    Surely everyone is skeptical the first few times they order seed online. But, IF YOUR ORDERING FROM THE US, what is your preferred method of payment? I like the idea of using a card for quick and assured payment but it seems so traceable. Even with prepaid cards have to be registered for...

    LAGarden Tent

    About to order my first grow tent and I couldn't be more excited! I'm going 48x48x78 or 60x60x78. They have options with 84" height instead but I don't think I'll need it. Anyone else using an LAGarden brand tent?

    Used Ballast

    I need to learn from any good or bad experiences you may have had. This is my first time setting up a grow. Starting out seems pretty expensive if you're doing it right. One of the most important (and seemingly pricey) aspects of gardening is having a powerful and reliable light source. Most...

    New Member/New Grower

    I have been reading through threads for a while now but never actually joined as a member to post anything. There is such a wealth of helpful information here! So much so that I've finally decided to start my first grow. Back when I started in college (about 12 years ago) watching grow...
