Everything you said makes a lot of sense and sounds like the right way to do things! We don't even have a grow store near me so I have to wait for Amazon; however I'm only growing for myself and I've only got one hps AND I'm still on my first grow so it's hard to invest that much up front.

I hope this is ok to post, since the sticky for it is locked I'm considering replacing my 600 watt HPS with an LED light. Hoping to stay under $300 but I can be flexible on that if I need to be. Would prefer to buy something prebuilt. I dunno if it matters, but mostly gonna be growing tall...

Yea I just bought I new bulb, it'll get here Saturday

Will the bulb just go down in intensity, without changing colors or doing any flickering? It is basically staying at the same intensity it has when it first starts up, instead of increasing in intensity for 15 minutes like it used to

I got a 600watt hydrofarms light on Craigslist (used obviously). The light has been fine for the past month, but today when I looked in the tent it was much less bright than it normally is. It still has the same colors, just the intensity has gone down. I had an issue last night where it ended...

Ah word I will do that. I had been feeding to run off for awhile, but two weeks ago I had surgery which made it so I couldn't lift more than 5 pounds, which limited me to lifting half a gallon of water at a time (plus exhausted / healing all sorts of other stuff) that messed with my ability to...

I gave the bagseed water with no nutes today, and the run off was at 600ppm (from a base of 180ppm), so I definitely had a bit of salt build up. Will give nutes at +600ppm tomorrow. C&C got fed at +700ppm and is looking good

That makes sense. For my next run, I want to use larger pots. I have a box shape container that is about 15 gallons, but only 6 inches high - this seems perfect for hempy to me, since it can have a huge reservior, and it won't take long for the roots to hit the water. Any downsides to using a...

Should you really be watering a hempy every day or 2x a day? I thought cannabis liked a wet/dry cycle, doesn't that cause it to just be wet all the time? I'm about three weeks into flower and watering every 2-3 days. 5 liter pots

Pictures from today! Day 70: C&C A flowering Bag Seed A, it's like 14 inches above the screen now Bag Seed B, you can see lots of brown spots on the leaves, which I'm assuming is because of a CalMag deficiency

Mmm yeah I've got them under a scrog right now, you can see in the pictures that it started out at the same height then shot up during flower; it was bag seed so I didn't realize it was sativa. That's good to know about 1 sativa in a 3x3 since I'm about to start some new haze seeds. I was gonna...

For watering, I've been doing roughly 2-3 days, usually lifting the pot though I'm trying to develop my sense for when the plants start looking thirsty and I my feeding them then. You're right I didn't ask any specific questions ; more looking for people to notice issues. Like my pots possibly...

I'm about 60 days in! I'm growing in two tents - a 2x4x5 tent with a 4 foot T5 with 6 bulbs, 4" fan + carbon filter for smell and circulation, and a 3x3x6 tent with a 600 watt HPS, 6" fan + carbon filter. I'm growing in 5 liter hempy buckets with a 75% perlite / 25% vermicullite mix, and using...

thanks, I'll stop misting them and get rapid rooters if these seeds don't pop. I also removed the tupperware covers

trouble with going straight into the medium is that I'm doing hempy buckets, and my understanding is that you need something firmer than perlite for the seeds to start in or they will get washed away

I've got four good plants right now, but I as I prepare for my second grow I keep failing at the seedling/germination stage. I soak seeds for 24-36 hours in un ph'd tap water (ph probably 7-8) I soak rockwool in ~5.5 ph'd tap water, then add seeds I put a single piece of perlite over the hole...
