Welcome New Members!

Its pretty impressive. How long did you veg?

Nope. Just don't go nuts. It would have been best to do it mid-veg. Its no big deal. You can leave it.

Yeah. I run a 50 gallon RDWC and 1 in soil. The plant you saw was the soil plant. That light is a Platinum P4. Ive gotten a lot of heat from friends about that light, but i cant say anything bad about it. The lights over my hydro rig are 2 400 watt Black Dog Phytomax 2s. I totally screwed up my hydro grow this round... learned a lot. Next time im gonna hatch 12 Lemon Skunk from DNA Genetics. Once they are old enough to see how strong each is ill keep 6 or 8 of the strong ones and put them in a SCRoG. Gonna start all that up next month.

Im very curious to see how well you do with this strain.

Pics from my 1st attempt...
these wo in massively over sized pots (30 litres) in a 1x1m tent. They had abit calcium deficiency, and was still mega potent... I had been doin abit of reading and decided to top one FIM one and let the others grow natural, just so I could compare what happened with the plants quickly with the little space and equipment I had, with out having to wait till my next set of girls to experiment. Any ways I had to stand 2 of them on other pots to keep similar height lol

Nice, what strain?
Gotta love big buds. Heres some from my last. Not a very appealing picture of me, but ill contribute for the art. Four plants almost exactly 1 pound

The last pics I sent was my first lot of king tut. Pure art

Gotcha. One of my buds in the picture was Northern Lights the other Great White Shark

Its just cool as hell to show up with a piece of a bud the size of a soup can

How long did you veg. for this grow?

This crop iv got now had 8 week from seed.. LST with string and tie wraps under 600w mh. Dutch pro a and b grow canna risottonic and abita cal/mag thru veg. Ph to 5.8 thru then week before flick flush thru 6.2
Bud blood first two weeks then Dutch pro explode and bud candy week 3 till flush. That's my aim with these sum big fat colas

Wanting to try star dawg/diesel/green crack next

Nice.

I ordered Strawberry Banana, Kosher Kush, and Lemon Skunk from Seedsman, but the order was lost in Los Angeles. So i reordered just the Lemon Skunk from Oaseeds. Hopefully they show. Im going with Botanicare nutes this time. Trying to ease up on the myriad nutrients. Gonna keep it simple. My DWC wound up screwy and it cost me valuable time in late flower. Thankfully my soil plant came through. I learned a lot from this one. Moderation being key.

What’s up guys.

First indoor grower here. And first post. I’ve been on the site since a bit before my lady’s birth. Been reading stuff on here and various other resources. I only have 1 1/2 outdoor grows (first one didn’t make it).

This is 1 bubba kush grown in a 2x3 box. I topped her at the 5th node and did some lst. I had a scrog net up at one point and decided it was more in the way than anything. 6 week veg I’m calling the start of veg when I transplanted and switched to 18/6. Tomorrow she will be 5 weeks into flower. She starting to smell really nice and the buds are fattening up nice too.

One issue I’ve battled is keeping the heat down. I have 2 4inch fans for exhaust and a passive intake. I also have 2 fans to circulate the air and a cool air humidifier. While the lights on I leave the door pretty much wide open and sealed shut during sleepy time. It stays 77-81 during lights on and gets as low as 72 off.

Anyways I’m using happy frog soil and ff nutrients. In a 3.5g pot. 600w vipar light. I know cheap but that’s what I’m going for right now. Everything seems to be going great. Oh! Forgot abt the main stem splitting abt 1/2 inch down abt a week ago. Didn’t seem to suffer too bad, I used a paper towel wrapped her up put some tape and a zip tie around her and she’s still doing just fine.

This is my first post and since I’ve popped my cherry, it def won’t be my last. Looking forward to learning more from you guys!

I go to my local seedbank about 10 mile away, seedmadness (U.K.) pick them up massive selections.

For me for now coco is fine.. I found I'm not a total novice so stick to this till iv got a few more under my belt. then I wana look in to a hydro set up, and even a fully organic set for me my self and I

You lucky bastard. I want a seedbank on my block! Theres so much to it. So many ways to do it successfully. So many more to do it wrong. THEN, there are seeds that are stars and seeds that couldnt make a salad. Ive found that my love of gadgets and gizmos didnt do me any favors when it came to nutrients or lights, or even grow methods. I have the same issue with my car. I have a 1953 Chevy Panel. When i started i knew nothing. I read the magazines and became a whore to advertising. I believed what they said, and bought their product because it would add 50 horsepower guaranteed. That rarely happened. In gardening another product can be just another facet that makes finding the truth harder to see. Did it work, or was this seed a star? Some of these things are obvious thankfully.

Im working on getting back to the basics... NPK, a little calcium here, a little humic there. With winning basics figiring out whats wrong is much easier, and so is the fix.

I think your rollin. What your doing is obviously working.

Looks pretty good. Dude, dont ever worry about your light if your plant is growing like that. There are plenty of opionions on lights, nutes, whether or not to defoliate. When your plants are working out you dont need to hear how much better it could be if you were using HPSs.

It doesnt sound to me that your temps are an issue. My room can be more than 85 degrees during the day. My light manufacturer recommends it. Are your plants showing heat stress?

Not anymore since I’ve been leaving the door open and I added the cool air humidifier it did early on. If I leave it shut then it will reach as high as 93 and the humidity drop to low 30s. I could only imagine what the heat would be with a 600 hps

Damn. Yeah i think the only thing that would be good for is making jerky.

Here’s a couple updated pics from today. I’m guessing 4-5 more weeks til I chop it.

The plant looks happy. Hard to tell without a white light if everything is going good, but they look pretty good. It will be fun to watch... keep in touch

Hello fellow nature lovers, newbie here. Though i have some limited gardening experience (i grow a couple of orchids and low-maintenance bougainvillea), i have never had any magic plants before due to the unavailability of materials. But exigences demand that i should start, and i would love any advice, especially with regard to getting my hands on primers and also stealth methods. Happy gardening everyone!

Hello, im new here
Im ready to grow
