Hello RIU! First post here! I've already read a ton of great information from some wonderful contributors here! Can't wait to get settled in and start posting!
The LED threads have me considering changing my whole setup around! Some fantastic builds going on!
On another note... I just ordered some Cannaventure Cheap Thrills and LA Affie! Had to get in on his great sale!

Yeah use a program to remove all the id tags/metadata from them before you upload. And I always use a VPN before I log in or upload anything as well...
Also, I'm pretty new here, hi all. I've started a few random threads here and there for help. You get good advice on this forum from my experience...
I'm 2.5 years into being self-taught at growing, just now feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it, seeing better yields and generally better results overall with everything. Always experimenting and learning. Only growing for myself, medicinally and recreationally of course

Looks good, that's barely any tip burn... Your set up looks a whole lot like mine... Looks almost exactly like the size and brand of my tent. I've got 600 watts total in there though of LEDs... definitely enough...

Hi Everyone.
Im new to the forum and fairly new to indoor growing. Im up in the Great White North and have built a separate 4x6x8 grow room inside my well insulated 10x10 shed.
I have a 600 wat hid and a 400 watt hid a 6inch exhaust fan with scrubber as well as a 16 inch circulation fan. Im currently growing Autos. Early Miss and Northern lights. The Early Miss is in week 9. They have all been topped and lst. Have a look and let me know your opinions.

Hello from Kentucky... I never really gotten into this, was mainly a drinker. I had a severe work accident about 20 years ago which caused me to become paralyzed at the lower waist for about 2 years. Pain I couldn't even calculate. Drs always tried to give me their pain medications and all they did was make me sick to the point I said to stop prescribing or I just wont get them filled. So I got into heavy drinking to help the pain. After awhile I started to get some health issues due to the drinking. A friend told me he was worried about this and still needed something to help the pain and got me hooked up. Needless to say, it helps the pain tremendously. The down side is, its not easy to get here. My friend even told me he was lucky to get what he gotten for me which was a nice huge bag of buds, showed me how to set it all up and was on my way. Being I like to do things and take them at their farthest, I quickly started researching the possibility of just growing my own, just for me. I have the space inside, no pesky neighbors, and being inside makes much easier then outside due to my injury. So I started looking into hydro set up. I just bought a nice growing tent. Nothing big but big enough to possibly expand later on, and lighting system. Currently looking at a hydro kit, either make myself or one already built sold on some place such as amazon... Im actually kind of "hooked" on the science of the whole growing process to be honest. Kind of appealing... Anyway, just a newbie saying hello, and would like to bend a few ears at times from seasoned pros for help along my journey of learning...

Sorry to hear of your accident. I also suffer from chronic pain and thats what got me started in growing my own meds. I find that the growing process is very therapeutic in its self. Learning as we go with guidance and help from those with experience is also good for the mind.
Good luck with your new hobby and I hope the whole process is very beneficial to you and your recovery.

I live in Washington, DC so at first it was the “Milk and Cookie” folk dropping off chocolate chips. They were always so appreciative and forever throwing in free gifts. Ever wonder what a few thousand dollars’ worth of cookies looks like?
Scrolling though sites like this one convinced me to grow my own and I started last year. In 2017 I grew Amnesia Haze and Northern Lights in FFOF using seven-gallon pots.
Hooked. And winter. Oh. OK, I moved indoors and started climbing the learning curve again. Amazingly, every time I had a question there was someone else before me asking the very same question… Soon I was very smart. Yup. My indoor grow was RDWC.
I’ve learned tons by now, the end of 2017. RDWC was the bomb and that-was-that. My first grow for 2018 would be RDWC too but I did not start until summer was near and had a daily battle on my hands fighting res temperature and humidity.
I would have had another RDWC grow but I also had an outdoor grow. I popped the seeds for this outdoor grow August 1st. Plenty of time to get this one last grow in, right? Ah, no. So, what to do? The RDWC run was not finished yet so I bought a second tent, cheapo, and moved the girls inside the garage to flower (Amnesia Fast, Mama Mia and Critical Kush, all freebies from Seedsman, in case you were wondering).
Once I got the hydro grow in the drying box I moved the big three inside the house into my 2x4x5 tent all decked out with circulating fans, carbon scrubbers, the works. The girls are loving it and are getting frosty. They began in the great outdoors and slummed it in the garage before retiring to the house.
Now that the garage tent is empty I moved the seedlings and cuttings I’d started from the garage table into the tent. Yeah, I know, but come one. There was this great article about popping seeds and then I’d read this other article about cuttings and cloning, so why not?
Because winter is coming, you fool. Overnight garage temperatures are in the low 30s. Gosh, honey, the girls look terrible. I told them to wear their coats and they just don’t listen. We should teach them a lesson, I said. Yup, sure did. I drove right down to the big box store and bought a cute little heater to sit at their feet all night.
Thank you to all that have come before me. Have a frosty holiday.

My family is in Taylor Mill and Florence. My niece just graduated from Murray State and my nephew is at NKU.

Me and my father live about 5 minutes from Taylor Mill.
Growing outdoors is pretty much out of the question with me. We do live right across from the tail entrance to doe run, lots of deer come up at night, but mostly lots of neighbors and some can be kind of nosy. Which is why me and dad pretty much always lived like hermits here. Indoors, no problem as we NEVER invite anyone over. Not that they would want to ever anyhow. "Edgewood area" if that gives any help about the kind of people around us.
So indoor isnt a problem at all, but I eventually want my grow area to be the coolest in time, as it would be a new hobby in itself as well as other things. I should be getting my grow tent in a few days from amazon. 2"x4" 5" tall I figure would be good to start with, grow one plant to start as I can focus on that then as I learn and get more comfortable, later expand to two plants. I really dont want to just toss it all together and try to slam out a product. Just kind of take it slow and work my way up so I learn type of thing.
