    Hey this is my first grow

    First: Welcome! Second: Read, Read, Read, Look at pics, Read some more, contemplate, Read, Look at more pics, and then finish with some more reading. That's what I did for about my first month of growing. There is literally every question that's been answered already on this forum. Use the...

    First time grower, looking forward to learning and growing

    You'll be shocked at how quickly they'll grow. By day 15, it's like a whole actual plant.

    Sudden change in plant health during flower.

    Exactly! I've no advise to offer, as I always listen to guys like @Renfro and @Go go n chill but can totally relate to having nothing but time on my hands these days. My grow room is surgical clean and organized right now.

    Will my light be enough?

    My 4X8 tent has 2 "2000W" boards, and one "3000W" board. 7000W of HPS would set the damn tent on fire. I'm pulling 1,200W from the wall, have perfect coverage across the entire tent, and stay at about 82-deg all day long. I'm not sure 2 600W HPS would give me the same coverage and stay as cool...

    Looks like you're keeping everything very organized. Great job there! Plants look healthy and happy.

    Will my light be enough?

    Welcome to the HPS/LED debate! :wall: I like LED because it kicks off less heat and they're relatively maintenance free. The efficiency/output debate is where all the people come out of the woodwork to defend their camp. Think of it as Mac/PC debates in the 1990s. LED tech is evolving all the...

    Will my light be enough?

    I you bought it on Amazon within the last 90d and still have the box, you can return it. Where I live, there are stores you can take them to and they do all the shipping for you. Kohl's here in the US.

    Will my light be enough?

    I went CRAZY watching YouTube videos before I bought my light....then I ended up replacing it anyway about 3 days after I bought it by asking questions here. If you don't know what to look for on YT, you end up finding a video touting just about every light as "best bang for the buck." So I...

    Autoflower VS Non Autoflower Yields

    This. I'm planting 2-4 seeds every 2-3 weeks. As soon as it's built up, I'm harvesting 2 plants every few weeks without needing a second tent or different light schedules. That being said: With all the "freebies" I've been getting, I have about 20 photo seeds built up. I'm planning on doing...

    South Africa has decriminilized weed. How does my grow look?

    Pretty much impossible. The good news is, If you had seeds to sell, you'd get to name it! :D

    Grow tent supporting weight

    I built a "proper room" and still put a tent in it. Lets me have my workbench in there for trimming and other stuff, a smaller tent for drying/curing, and helps keep the smell contained/vented outside the house. Tents are relatively cheap. The VivoSun 4X8 that I have now is plenty fine for what...

    Suggestion for a better "pole mounted" oscillating fan?

    Hey, gang. I bought a pretty big fan for my 4X8, but I'm realizing now that the floor footprint is a little too much to spare. I'm going to have 4-6 plants on the "flower" side of the tent pretty soon, and need the space. Suggestions for something about this size (or appropriately sized) that...

    Haven't seen this before

    That happened to me early on, when I had a water droplet on a leaf. They act like little magnifying glasses, and can cause stuff like that. Just a thought...

    Looking healthy?

    That sounds about right. I LST when they're 2-3wks old and on their 4th-5th node. I'll start stretching the branches out at that point. Here's the one I did this morning...I've been training her for about 10d now, stretching a little more every few days.

    Looking healthy?

    Ok good. Mine seem to sprout in 1-2 days, hang back for 6-7 days, and then rocket growth happens. Here's an example: March 9th: March 17th: March 22nd: Today (Mar 26th):

    Looking healthy?

    How high up is your light? If you have it too close, I've read that can stunt growth.

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. Potassium deficiency: Yes. Was I doing something wrong: No. All my other plants are on the same feeding schedule, and they're all doing fantastic. Thanks for the reply! I'm a newbie at this too, but I've been reading non-stop for about 3 months now as I've...

    Is this a potassium deficiency?

    One last question on this... Should I remove the yellow leaves? I don't think they're doing their job anymore. More posed up last night. I watered this morning, and will continue to only water a few more times before feeding again, but what to do with the yellow leaves. I don't see them coming...
