i live on the bottom floor so our ceiling is cement and i live right under another room so can't vent it up lmfao. i mean i am going to be getting a tent in the future so it's just learning purposes really when i get my tent it will be right up against the window so i can snake out everything out the window easily.
i think RH was high because it was storming. typically after it rains the RH is hell over here it will rain but it won't feel cool it will feel warm/hot instead. it fluctuates though i just log w.e. temps/RH i see at the moment so despite it says 75% it isn't steadily 75% right now it is 70% but earlier it was 68%
as for the white stuff i can see it on the pheno #3 ( left ) the leaves are dark but you can see them kind of whitening on the inner leaves. i think nutrient lockout but hard to tell yet.
i tried to LST today when i got home but that didn't go as planned. plants are super wide that i can't really LST to get much out of them with just the 1 light. plus they will be upgraded into a 5gal most likely in the future so i think i will just run a normal grow or constantly top them 1 or 2 more times.
yea i mean i aint so worried im lakcing the space to really grow what i want and the equipment so im not expecting huge yields or anything it's just mainly to learn for when i get their. if i can continue to grow i will invest in another light and other stuff as well but for now im just having fun with it. i mean as much as i wanted to LST to learn more it looked so bad XD should be interesting to see how they turn out

Don't expect anything for return in your first grow. First should always be completely educational. I've made tons of mistakes on my first. I'm only on my second grow now, but I've learned a lot in just one grow! Good luck!
Guess which grow was first! Lmao!!

What are those bulbs in the pic of the first grow. Flowers?
this is my 3rd grow lol but first indoor only grow. they usually grow ok until i start bringing them outside then they get pests and shit so i have to deal with all that because i didnt use drip trays so i had to water outside. since these are the biggest i gotten at such an early rate im not too worried about the LST going to see how bushy they really get. base that off my next grow and possibly cut it down to 2 plants then LST for more space if not then probably just grow 3 again and LST next time.
yea looks like a flower. if you look in the middle you see a red flower from the same looking stem

Yeah... flowers. I don't grow them anymore, but had to try it out once. No more space for anything other than buds now!!

Nothing wrong with flowers. I was thinking of putting some in some of my grows. Full shade flowers that only get 1ft tall or so to run at the bottoms of the bloom tent at the base of plants. I was thinking of some exotic colors to spice things up a notch.

Another way to slow down the growth rate and to minimize max plant height is top or fim them. I topped the hell out of one of my Blue Widow plants and the thing is just a massive monster of a plant now. Also, it is a monster cropped clone. 10 gallon fabric pots are giving me way better plants than the 5 gallons. Next grow will be 6 to 8 plants in 15 gallon fabric pots.

Its nice if you have children. So when they tell others about your garden, they can describe the colorful flowers and not the skunky smells . I had a sunflower and some basil growing too, in my first run. I like the idea of companion gardening too. Adding red clover seeds to the top of your soil will help your plant receive nitrogen easier, because the clover breaks it down. Unfortunately, i havent been very successful keeping my top layer hydrated enough to keep clovers alive in my fabric pots!!
yea that is what im planning to do maybe 1 more top idk. im debating on chucking these ones outside again but if i grow them big enough they would have to only be in the backyard. i mean once in my life i want to grow some really fucking monster plants just to see how they personally look but that might require a long ass veg. 10-14 weeks is already long for me XD im only 3 weeks down i got at very least 5 more to go

Ill post a pick of my Blue Widow in a few more hours when lights go on. Monster cropped, long time veg, many many tops. It makes all the other plants ive got look small.

In the meantime, here is my veg tent. I top them early on so I can get a "V" type base on each plant. I've topped these ones as much as possible. I can't wait for the three little ones on the bottom left. My recent purchase from gyo.green seeds. Glueberry OG, Laughing Buddah, and Raspberry Sour Diesel! I've got the time, so those babies will be my first mothers from seed (not clone) and I will pull clones off of them. My very next run in the picture is Critical Sensi Star, Blue Widow, and Skywalker OG (skywalker plants grown from bag seed and already cloned the few small skywalkers on the bottom right)

lol im growing blue widows too. mine been flowering for i think 5-6 weeks now since flip. i did LST then because they were like half the size of my SC's but i removed the ties later on. they are outside though and it's been storming all week. i vegged them for 7 weeks before flipping i should of held off on the veg but i was too excited to start a new grow. think they are only around 3ft tall had to prune them though but they were nice and bushy. shit load of aphids causing the leaves to die off rapidly so i prune the yellow stuff when it's gotten super yellow or if i find a bunch of aphids on it. 1 leaf probably has about a hundred aphids i expected to see lady bugs but so far only seen 1 and not sure if it's still on the plant. i think they will be ready for harvest in about 3 weeks maybe though.
My blue widows they are actually more frosty then my first grow XD so you can imagine how bad that was. still trying to mess around with flowering though i think it's a lighting issue for the most part.
not really worried about bud rot dealt with shit like this before no issues it's supposed to stop raining on monday so they will have time to dry out and all that.

If you do outdoor gardening often, look into companion planting and find some beneficial plants to keep in your garden to deter those pests! Here is an organic way to kill those aphids:
