Thanks man, appreciate the feedback. I'm certainly going to take it more easy this time. I'm not kidding when I say I actually lost sleep over this. I even had a dream one night that i looked in the tent in the morning and she'd keeled over. I WILL relax! ;)

Brill, thanks again for your time! This is all fascinating to me!

I've been doing some reading around the forum and various other places, but still unsure about whether to go with plastic pots / fabric pots or airpots for my next grow. I've already got a bunch of different sized fabric pots but now unsure whether I should stick with those or go to airpots...

I don't really have anywhere I could bake the soil even if the sun was out (which is rare!). I did hang sticky papers around the grow tent and they worked well, but obviously only for the adults. I never got rid of the larvae unfortunately and pretty sure this is what was killing my first...

Wow - I find that absolutely amazing! You're making me want to switch to hydro too - but I think i should walk before I can run. :) You know... I only started all of this growing malarkey because I found a seed in a bag of weed. Then bought a seed to grow. Now I find myself getting all...

Thanks for the post! Yeah I think possibly a standard pot till it's final position may be a better approach. I may just use disposable plastic pots so that I can cut them out (my previous grow, I used ceramic pots which makes it very hard to move them) (mistake 12). When I moved from the...

Yes, I plan on doing this religiously with the next grow. Also considering the use of Mosquito Bits or diatomaceous earth to keep things under control (however I did just read this article, which seems to suggest diatomaceous earth probably isn't as effective as many claim).

Thanks - okay, so this time around i'll leave lights on 24/7 and see how that goes. Regarding folier feeding, I've never even heard of it but i'll go do some research now and see what I can learn. Cheers!

I thought the soil was fairly well airated. I had about 1 to 4 parts perlite in the soil. She was in a plastic pot with one massive drainage hole at the bottom, covered with a stone to allow water to leave. Next grow I have fabric pots which I will combine with perlite in the soil. I did...

Today, I noticed that a bag of soil which I'd stored away after my first grow, had loads of fungus gnats around it. My understanding was that they are attracted to stagnant conditions and the larvae feed on the roots of plants - but my open bag of soil had loads of them. Has anyone else seen...

Assume these are safe enough for the plant and smoking the weed afterwards, given you're still alive to tell the tale? I'd been avoiding those kinds of things cos I wasnt sure if they were safe for smoking after.

Morning! (Long post alert - but good for noobs thinking about growing. If you can't be arsed to read the background, you can skip to the questions at the bottom). I joined this community recently because I started having issues with my first grow. I made a shed-load of mistakes along the way...

Cheers. Invested in a spider farm 1000 which is the only one that'll fit my tent. I'll see how it goes in comparison. If the fungus gnats dont overthrow me first.

Could you please clarify this a bit. I was just looking here at the mars hydro LEDs and the one that seems it would be most appropriate for my tiny 60 x 60 x 140 tent is a 600 watt LED. I use a cheap 1000 watt LED just now (not a branded one and albeit it looks physically half the size). are...

9th August was when first substantial pistols appeared which would make it in to week 5 if that's correct. Have to say it does look about right with the timings. Edit: Yeah, you're totally right and I'm an idiot. Wishful thinking that it would go from seedling to harvest in 9 - 10 weeks...

I was feeding my white widow auto every week or so during veg stage but when flowering started it soon ramped up to a litre every two days. I noticed too that during preflowering I sometimes saw leaves droop when it got close to lights off for the plant, especially on the day of being fed but...

Thanks guys - I've ordered a better handheld microscope which I can view on a screen. This should help me identify when I need to get moving. Appreciate the posts, cheers.

Thanks for the reply - I've seen some reports of this going to 16 weeks in grow diaries, so you could be spot on. She's had a few issues along the way, so I think some set-back time has been included but literally no idea what I'm looking at and no real basis for comparison.

Hi all, Sorry - incoming noob post. Never grown anything in my life, so this has all been a bit of a lesson for me. I have a White Widow Auto (Ministry of cannabis) which is now into it's 12th week. Growing it indoors in a grow tent, with a 1000w LED light. According to the site where I got...
