The potting soil I use, Black Gold 0.05-0.0-0.0 seems to come with little flying bugs, gets so bad I use fly ribbon which appears to work at catching a lot. Are you using new soil or recycling old stuff, if reusing maybe theres still alot of nutes retained in it.

Appears fine to me. Mine are a month into flower and the pistols are turning like yours.

I recently finished some plants indoors and because of the high summer temps I would leave the door open and fan blowing inside all day while the lights were on. Bud came out perfect.

If the tent is closed up and sealed 400cfm should be good for 5x5. Try closing up the vent you have opened, see if the tent walls suck in basically checking how strong your setup is pulling. I just have a passive intake like you, just a hole in the door, and if i hold a piece of paper up to it...

That's a decent size tent. What size fan, what size carbon filter, how old is the carbon filter? You mention this is an ongoing issue, may be not the right equipment to start with.

I'm fairly positive my plants would be garbage by now if I didn't take them inside when the weather is bad. Two days ago it was raining, yesterday was beautiful, this morning I had to secure the pots down to the deck because they kept blowing over, until it got so bad they were bending sideways...

What type of soil? I use a 0.05-0.0-0.0 and I start giving fertilizer fairly soon, 3rd week I will start adding a tiny amount and watch the leaves to see how they take it.

Maybe show some regular photos of the buds and whole plant, can't really give an opinion on those photos. I bought a 30x-60x jewelers loupe which does the job, I find the 60x is needed to really see what's going on.

For me I rely on using a 60x jewelers loupe to view the trichome color change, I go for mostly cloudy turning amber. Typically when I harvest the pistols have all turned brown and shriveled away on the top buds. Just going off your photos I am guessing 2+ more weeks.

Bags don't look full, run out of potting soil? I use a 0.05-0.0-0.0 potting soil and by the 3rd week I would be adding a tiny amount of fertilizer seeing how they like it, your soil has more nutes in it so that's probable enough for your plants still. Can't tell from the photo, but you will...

I would think clones get most of it's water from the medium, thats why it's best to make a long 45 degree cut at the bottom of the stem. Think of cut flowers, without sticking the cut stems in water they shrivel and die quickly.

I use Black Gold potting soil 0.05- 0.0- 0.0 they sell at my local hardware store. As I take my clones I put them in a large bowl filled with tap water then as I make the 45 degree cuts at the base of the stems and trim the fan leaves in half I'll toss them back in the bowl and get the solo...

I have had 100% success with taking clones and I kept it very simple. Take the clones, trim the fan leaves in half, slice the bottom of the stem at a 45 with a razor, dip stem in water, then plant right into solo cup with potting soil. I water with just tap water keeping the soil moist, after...

I wasn't aware phones can do that, I know they have sensors for knowing when to dim the screen but as far as acting as a meter, cool. I'll have to download and try it out on my Galaxy S6.

I have seen some people construct some cool greenhouses with pvc in the Massachusetts outdoor grow 2019 thread, page 37 and 39 have some photos.

I try not to remove any leaves, only picking here and there if i feel it's in the way. I noticed the plants will cannibalize themselves, I let them fall off on there own. When flowering starts I will trim lower branches and buds that I feel will not grow into usuable bud.

Just do the bare minimum to keep them alive and not grow too big. My 1st grow I used one of those extension cords with a work light at the end with a 23 watt cfl bulb, obviously when they stayed alive I upgraded equipment. Now for seedlings and clones i use a 2' T12 shop light, I kept some...

I think the temps will go up no matter what height you hang it, you have to focus on air exchange getting the hot air out and cooler air in. Light height has to do with burning the plants being too close. What do you have for an exhaust? With the high temps during summer i actually leave the...

I use a 30x-60x LED jewelers loupe i got on amazon for $6. It is a pain to use, have to turn it around to get the light just right then keep still holding the branch in one hand scope in the other, sometimes I use a flashlight for more light. I don't go crazy with trimming so I have alot of...

Do you have a jewelers loupe to view the trichomes? I try to harvest when trichs are mostly cloudy starting to turn amber when viewed thru a 60x loupe.
