I meant to point out the same things in your post but got into the light thing and forgot to. Then read yours after I posted mine and now I don't have to so thanks for that! pass.gif

Like he says ↑.

Take pics before or after your grow lights come on or go out. Flash is fine and makes the flowers "pop" when budding. With LEDs you can just turn them off while you take pics then switch them back on. More bother with HIDs as they generally need a cooling off period before re-striking.

I have a digi camera and can manually adjust it's white balance settings to get perfect colour under any type of light. No GPS in it either so not sending my grow location in pics tho phone pics that get uploaded here get stripped of the EXIF data and won't give you away. Should have the location turned off unless you're lost and need Google maps to get where you're going anyway. Bought a used Chevy with that damn OnStar BS and want to figure out how to make sure that's not going to trip me up someday. I ain't really bad but I'm no goodie two-shoes either. ;)

I have a feeling the only way to be sure is cut the OnStar control unit out. Fuckers. ;)
I'll google that shit and find out for sure. Bumped the mirror button and had the damn thing come on. Not paid for but they still track your location and it's in their databases if anyone should want to see where you've been. 1984 was later than predicted but it's here now and scarier than George Orwell made out in his book. :D

Greetings all! I'm a middle-aged guy from Northern California who is giving indoor growing a try for the first time. I've been enjoying reading all the posts on this site, and have already found a ton of helpful suggestions. For my first grow I am trying Gorilla Glue # 4 hybrids in a 3' x 3' x 6' tent. I found choosing a light to be overwhelming, and initially picked a ViperSpectra 600 reflector series based on Amazon reviews, but after spending the weekend looking at suggestions on this forum I decided to return the ViperSpectra and am waiting on delivery of an HLG 260 kit. I'm super excited for starting my growing adventure, and looking forward to learning lots from you all along the way!

Looks like it's too late so send them to me and I'll dispose of them safely for you.

One toke at a time! :D

Look like they might need a little more time yet. The trichomes look mostly clear yet and you want to let them get mostly cloudy then the THC is at it's peak and it's time to harvest.

Doesn't look like it will be long now.

:peace:

Hey guys

So I’m a first time grower. My girl is a skunk #1 and i think I’m in the fifth week of flowering. Well i know i am, its just when i switched to 12/12 i had a few glitches with my lights. So i think the stress might have delayed the transition, you know? Anyway. Nothing major because she’s doing fine now.
Though i do have one question.
Why have my top buds stopped developing and my lower ones seeming like its getting most of the attention all of a sudden.
I will try and put up pics but for now can anyone tell me if they’ve experienced this before or if it’s normal or what?

New member first time grower. I'm about 2 weeks into flower and can't seem to drop humidity low enough during the night 70-75% but during the day it stays around 40-44%. Is this a concern? My tent is really filling up quicker than expected and I don't think I fit in a dehumidifier...
 
Hello to everybody!

I’m new on this forum but I’m experienced grower. I finished growing some years ago but now I would like to start again.. but I have some problem with new technology and with COBs.. I hope that someone can help me and I hope that I will help somebody with my experience in growing. Good work bros!
 
Hi All,
I am a first time grower and a new comer to this forum (or any forum) and am excited about the knowledge available and the friendships to be made. I have no friends that have taken on this adventure before, and therefore no one to converse with/learn from about the subject at hand. So here I am, to learm and share my experiences. My grow started as a "Let's see what happens" type of thing, and has exploded from there. I dug a bean from a bag that I got at my "local dispensary" and tossed her in some potting soil. She spent time during her veg cycle in some weird spots under unconventional lighting and has be exposed to extreme conditions a couple times. I even uprooted her once, out of paranoia. But I stuck with her and finally gathered everything needed to finish her. Amazingly she is doing okay, once put in a tent, fed good nutes and set to a timer, though unorthodox in shape. She's ugly, but growing. I first spotted signs of her flowering 3 weeks ago, and as of this morning have 72 seperate sights that she is budding from (OCD gf had to count). She was topped shortly before flipping to 12/12 and has been tied back to take up space width wise, seeing as she's 4 ft+ (including the bucket). I'm sure I've messed up a lot throughout her life, but she's flowering so prettily. I'm going to see her through to the end and see what my results are, though I'm counting on some disappointment in flavor, potency, and yield. Anyone care to see my Beastly Betty and have some good laughs or interested in how she turns out? This is a bud sight I took a pic of this morning
 
Hows it going guys. Loving what's going on here. I have three babies. Three completely different stages of growth. My fan leaves are clawing will attach photos. This is from a bit to much nitrogen I collect. Can someone walk me through the proper way to flush a 7 gallon fabric pot.

New member and doing my first grow from a group of seeds found from smoking premium supposed females/hermes over the past couple years, kept the collection separated and labeled and in the fridge.. One day this spring my wife and I just decided-"you know what, let’s see what happens with those seeds?" and we placed them all on a large plate/paper towel etc, here was the roster: 2x Obama Kush, 1x Fortune Cookie, 1x Purple Kush, 2x Blue City Diesel, 1x Mountain Girl (!). Of those 7 seeds, The Mountain Girl had insane root growth as well as the Purple Kush and Fortune Cookie, the 2 Obamas were bringing up the rear with short but solid root growth. We were expecting some weaklings in the bunch, and the 2 Blue City Diesel (luckily our least fav strain) had 1 dud and another with small root growth that never made it to the surface after planting. At about 1-2 weeks we saw some great growth from the above-mentioned trio (MTGirl, PurpK, Fortune), and slow but steady growth from the Obamas (which we happened to name Sasha and Malia, accordingly). Early on during a watering, a large drop must’ve hit the Fortune Cookie just right, as it was flattened and never regained itself, major tragedy.. Then came a few weeks later when one of our prize seedlings, the Purple Kush, was decapitated by one of our cats which snuck into the garage. So, the final 3 champions remained: 2 Short but strong and proud Obamas, and a Mt Girl which was nearly twice the size of its fellow sistahs.. One of the Obamas had a weird and what I thought mutant-like first leaf, I had initially thought it was diseased and needed to be purged (pics included), but upon my wife’s tender advocation for the sprout, I decided to keep it on (always listen to your wife folks ). At about 4-5 weeks of the sprouts being outdoors in the sunny but harsh Central Oregon spring, and under weak ass fluorescents in my garage by night, we did some serious research designing and amassed a grow tent setup for one of our spare rooms. After an afternoon of construction, we had a 4x2x5’ Vivosun mylar-lined tent with intake and exhaust venting to outdoor atmosphere, with twin 500cfm duct fans forcing induction and exhaust through a large carbon filter, complemented with 2 vent filternets for intake and exhaust; no pests are getting in this baby! Finally, 2 1000w HiGrow LEDs are strung along the top on adjustable pulleys, were ready to rock and roll sports fans! We are at 9-10 weeks from seed to end of veg using FoxFarms Ocean Forest in fabric 5 gal pots and Advanced Nutrients 3 part system w/ Mad Farmer silica, as well as a ph kit with “ph down” to correct for the silica. For a first -time grower, I feel I’ve done some good research and lurking online to get a pretty decent setup, I feel really proud of my results for a first -time grower esp from random seed. I would say my biggest con I've discovered is that its goingto get pretty cramped in there, but at this time with going into flower they will likely be at the ceiling but lets keep our fingers crossed pls. From all I can tell, the Obama sisters are in fact sisters, and despite the Mt girls growth, she’s a sativa and I suppose that’s normal in comparison to the Obamas bushiness.. Just defoliated and LST’d all the nodes, adjusted the LEDs from 18on/6 off to 12/12, here in the desert cold (even in the summer) I will have them ON during the AM to keep things warm, and off in the PM to keep things cool. Going into flower as we speak!! I’ve included some pics to outline the grow, We are so excited to meet and gain knowledge from all of you! Any tips and observations are more than welcome, Thanks for reading my Intro Novel!

Hi guys.
Glad I found rollitup. Been reading through some chats and already have picked up so much. That being said can kindly ask for advice with my plants. First grow. So learning the hard way. I smoke tobacco. I’ve now learnt about tobacco mosaic virus because I think I have infected these beautiful plants with it.

I have stopped all smoking going forward and cleaning my hand etc but I’ll stop the tobacco.

Three seeds popped. The one had it stem out and up but it’s shell was like stuck on the ends for like 3 days, it’s leaves look like they were squashed it has little yellow spots on the tips of the leaves and the growing weird bent like. The second plant I cant see much yet. The third is still laying it the soil half out its shell, green leaves one of the prime leaves I guess you call them is brown the the tip and the root is growing under the shell looks like a prawn. And I think all the stems are a purple like color in natural light. I bought the seeds from Seedsman they called Girl Scout cookies auto fem and flower.

Please please send you help advice and positive vibes.
Thanks.
