    Question about light leaks

    have you ever been inside a grow tent (zipped up) when the light is off? It produces less light than any cycle of the moon.

    Question about light leaks

    I see a lot of people talking about what kind of tent to buy and to be careful to choose a tent that isn't notorious for light leaks. To be fair though, light leaks aren't only a grow tent thing. I grew for many years in a closet in my house with a blanket secured around the opening, and I...

    I grew for 10 years when I lived in Vermont, but back then it was all HIDs and clones. This is my first grow since around 2001 and also my first auto. Its been a trip so far. I thought they were all dead seeds when they hadn't sprouted by the 4/5th day. Three weeks in they were about the size of...

    My girls seem to be (might be) having an issue and I was curious about cal-mag because this is the first grow I've used it in addition to the regular nutes. Three look great and the other three look two weeks behind the three good ones. Hell, they're growing like sativas which OG is indica dominant.

    Grow tent supporting weight

    I own a 5 x5. Got it off Amazon. It's not a gorilla. I think Viparspectra. It has three cross members for the ceiling. Two are OK but not a strong as the single big bar that goes across the top. I have my inline duct fan on the lighter weight ones and the light to the big bar. My light is 25...

    Do you have a picture of the whole plant? or all your plants?

    400w mh for veg?

    Agreed 3x3. Check the manufacturer's specs though, it should be 3x3 veg and 2x2 or 2x3 flower. How many plants? There are a few factors. For instance, are you growing autos or photoperiod? I wouldn't put more than two autos in that space, but photos you could probably go more since you are in...

    What’s wrong with my seedling

    I can't find any pictures of my seedlings, but trust me, they were ugly. I germinated 10 seeds and they all popped. But one didn't break soil at all. Three others were so crooked, and yellow, and brown....I just tossed them. I kept 6 out of the ten seedlings because that's my legal limit here in...

    I'm 60 days in from seed with autoflower OG. This is my first autoflower, so I had no idea what to expect. All the growth you see in the picture happened in the last two weeks.https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&view=btop&ver=1nj101dboqm98#attid%253Datt_1711124e8c8c0aa7_0.1_1711124db0eae16fe381

    Flowering

    I'm having the same exact issue. I've got plenty of experience growing from clones, but I'm trying something new with autos. After some research here about autos I went with Mephisto because the consensus was that they were the best genetics if you want to grow autos. I planned to germinate 10...

    Why are so many new growers choosing blurple/led over hps/mh??

    I was thinking about that the other day. On the section between the hood and the fan, it is pulling. But everything after the fan is pushing, right?

    Why are so many new growers choosing blurple/led over hps/mh??

    I've got an interesting development on the temp of my tent with MH bulb. I read some articles on the efficiency of inline duct fans. Seems turbulence and friction are the enemies a fan efficiency. I had bought ducting to run between the hood and fan, and the fan and carbon filter. The length was...

    First plant slow start

    thanks just be. I've been spending a lot of time in the tent talking to the plants trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I'm struggling to keep RH in the 40-60 range. I live in the north and I need to run the heat almost constantly. Forced hot air is the enemy of humidity. Without a...

    First plant slow start

    Day 7 from cotyledon, not germination/taproot.

    First plant slow start

    I've only grown from cuttings in the past and the growth rate, regardless of strain, was considerably faster than my current situation. So is the factor that is lending itself to slow growth the fact that it's a seed or the fact that its autoflower?

    First plant slow start

    I watched your video and saw the second set of leaves on day 5. Mine are on a similar track, so that is reassuring. I'm on day 7 from the first cotyledon and surprised at the slow growth. But the girls are in their final pots with 600 watts of MH light. I've got ten years of growing experience...

    First plant slow start

    Looking good. I'm good with lights. I have a 1000W HID system that is dimmable (600, 750, 1000 watts and super lumen). I also bought a cheap, small LED because I didn't want to use my big light on the cotyledon. I used the LED for two days then put the MH bulb on 600w. I'm using happy frog soil...

    First plant slow start

    How'd it end up? I have a similar question because mine seem to be starting slow.
