I’m actually going to throw a couple autos in with my tomatoes for fun and to see what happens. They’re all organic. Also if I gift some weed next Christmas it’ll be nice to say it’s 100% natural because most of the stuff you get is probably synthetically fed. for the sake of my first grow and...

We should start a Counterintuitive thread on the absolute hardest way to grow plants.

I would do organic if it was the same price as synthetic and pre-made. What a hassle running around trying to find all of those ingredients. We only have one garden center locally and they would charge me around $250 for all of that. For instance, I’d I wanted oyster shells I can’t just buy the...

@LeastExpectedGrower @HydroKid239 @Billy the Mountain One thing is clear: It's all about the Maxibloom (at least on this forum). Nobody has mentioned Sensi Bloom for a couple of days now. So far the ultimate KISS is this: - Pro Mix - Maxibloom - [Insert pruning/training choices here] - Ph...

I just measured my tap water at about 7.5-8. Waiting for my Maxi, but Is the dolomite lime added as insurance to make sure it doesn't get too acidic...or so the salts don't build up and affect the soil/substrate over time? After seeing you mention ec's I ordered a meter. You're the 5th - 6th...

Thanks everyone for your input! Looks like Maxibloom is the most popular despite the (sometimes) extra Ph testing. Some great tips here and hope others find it useful.

So should I get a TDS meter? I thought measuring the Ph before feeding would be enough to avoid root burn and so on. I figured as long as I do 1tspn (or 7g) of Maxi per gallon (4L) I would be fine since I don’t intend on adding other nutes to my water. I’ll read some threads on the topic to...

Haha. I like cutting through the BS. I know it’s a hobby and it can be fun to buy all sorts of seemingly cool products that promise this or that, but like any other hobby — where your excitement and nativity can cost you — I knew it didn’t have to be that convoluted. That’s why I scoured this...

yeah I saw that same thread, thanks for reminding me of it I forgot the shaking in the jar tip. Getting my ph tester this week and will find out where the water is at. I googled “my town” “water ph” and looks like we have generally hard tap water but will know for sure once I test. Thanks!

So this is my first ever grow, and it will be outdoor. I'm familiar with plants and enjoy gardening, but I am not familiar with a regimented feeding schedule using liquid fertilizers. I've decided to use straight Pro-Mix (with maybe a dash more perlite) in 5 gallon grow bags for my...

Yeah, autos. And now I’m starting to second guess my choice because they can start flowering with the slightest amount of stress. Next thing you know you have a 30cm plant budding (so I’ve heard). Wow, in the ground? I’ll try that next year. I need more control to get a feel for the plant...

very sunny in my area here in Canada, and dry…(49.5N) …but this year has felt very UK! Wet wet wet and cloudy. Haven’t even planted yet! Would be a waste.

wow, 56? I’m at 49.5

oh, and I ordered Northern Lights

Even if I had clones, it’s still way below normal temps and very wet for this time of year. I’m sure many growers here are having to pivot with their strategy. We (usually) have hot dry summers that drag well into mid-September, so I think I’ll be ok with autos this year. I know this year is...

Yeah, makes sense to me for my first ever grow. Good variety to learn the ropes too I figure...maybe up the challenge next year!

Yeah. I'm guessing all these mould complaints are coming from the UK and other wet climates.

Thanks for these reco's! Appreciated. Will look at the specs and grow logs for them. Here's a short list of the suggestions I've received so far: :idea: = Serious contenders for me so far. (These also look like great beginner strains in general) Lucky13 Seeds (Contacted, suggested...

Thanks for the heads up. The climate is very dry here but good to think about just in case.

Nice. Thanks!
