First grow - multiple issues

Here is my set up

4x4x7 grow tent

600W dig HID/HPS cool tube vented in and out

10 in Osc fan 3 speed

CO2 reg w/20lb tank

8 plants started in basement mix in one gal coco containers, watering with 8 head manafold drip irrigation.

Digital temp/humidity

I am using an 18 rubbermaid container as res

purchased a large mixing tub from the Depot and have all 8 sitting atop multiple layers of coco matt

ordered an 8K BTU portable A/C which is enroute

Problem #1

I took some advice from a hydro store guy and think he was guiding me to a bubblle bucket (5 gal0 system.

I started upgrading before I knew it and have gone out and bought all this neat stuff. (e.g. Dig PH tester, PPM Tester) and now due to heat the new a/c unit.

The plants are about 2 mos old starting from seed and range from 20 inch as low as 8 inches. They are healty, but I can alreay see I am not going to have room for eight.

Started flowering and on day 5

been fighting high temps 90-94 degrees inside.

I have decided that my next grow will be aeroponic, but I have to nurse this one through for the next couple of months.

The basement mix is causing my PPM meter to read high due to the residue of the basement mix and I can only guestimate by adding water, etc.

I have not done much foliar feeding, occasional misting with hute mix.

I need suggestions quick on how to handle my selection on the medium and whether I will need to transport to new pots, but my setup is all wrong.

Need help

Help..ima noob and my plants have sprouted but the seed shell is still attached. Should they be receiving light right now or jus leave em in the dark

MY plant after about 2 months just started drooping and the seams are really weak, it cames a huge rain and my plant was out side in a 5 gallon bucket. it just keeps getting worse and haven't watered it but soil is still wet in almost week.

what do I do with a heme if I find one two weeks before harvest?

PLEASE HELP, First timer, my mother is fine, but her clone is 22 days flowering indoors in a 5 gal bubble bucket (DWC), got spider mites and getting worse, got some neem oil sprayed every leaf top and bottom, checked on her 12 hours later and some are still alive, What i need to know is how long does it take to work or should i spray every day till there dead or stop after a few days, Thankx

its good you are doing something early they can be a bitch to get rid of. Ive been trying all sorts of things and the only thing that is safe and works is neem oil. Not hard to find at a garden center. you mix like 1 1/2 tsp to a quart of water, if your metric just follow directions and add a little dish soap it helps keep the solution wet on your plant longer then you will spray every leaf underneeth, that is where they live and stick there spike into your leaf and suck the life out of it. you will have to realy clean the area that you grow in with somthing like bleach water, vacume and anything else you can do to clean up. even wash ur hands before watering, and they multyply very fast the female lays 12 - 15 eggs without a male and they hatch in 3-5 days then mature in 7then they do the same thing so you can see how fast they multiply
You can use a magnifying glass to see them they are clear with two black dots on there back

is she still in veg or flowering if she is flowering how long? cuz neem oil is safe up to about no more than two weeks of 12/12. Safer soap is safe to use up to harvest, but is pricey and kind of hard to find depending where ur at neem takes 1 app every two days for about a week safer soap kills i 1 hour

i just started these plants but, they're about a month and a couple weeks old, the still haven't showed they're sex yet. i've grown once before and they were all females, they weren't as lanky as these. do u think they're males or could it just be the strain?

they could be stretching from only getting indirect lite are they outdoors?in a windowseal?

ok well the tall skinny one.. im thinking is a male and the fat (with all fan leaves) im thinking is a female.


??? lmk asap so i can dispose of said imposter and give my lvoe to the lady lol no the male just gonna go back in the yard again

at the moment they are on the windowseil. will they still mature if i keep growing this way?
