    Building my 4X8 Auto-grow tent/room

    I'm in a new construction house, and my grow room is in the basement already, so I'm not sure what more I can do about that. I'm more concerned with temps in the room/tent and smell in the house than a higher heating/cooling bill. So far, so good! Temps are remaining consistent everywhere, and...

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    Here’s your update, gang. CS on the left, GH on the right. Blueberry up front, White Widow in the back. CS plants are still crushing the GH plants. Pots were way light, so I just watered. (Hence the saggy leaves.) I’m starting to see pistols on the CS Blueberry already. (23 days after sprouting.)

    Building my 4X8 Auto-grow tent/room

    Got the outside vent hooked up and sorted. I'm now venting into the garage behind the garbage cans. This has dropped the temp in the room by 20-deg, and the temp inside the tent by 10. So glad I got around to this. There's literally no smell in the house/room now. There's a slight tingle in the...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    In an effort to control the growth in the 3X3, I did a serious hair-cut situation today. Close to lollipopping I guess. Pulled about 1lb of leaves off of two plants, and a lot of branches that weren't ever going to do anything. Anyway...here's the Before/After shots. I kept two pieces and am...

    2 week seedlings

    Sometimes they just look funky early on. I got all stressed out about slight discolorations in young plants...now I just let everything roll and it usually works its self out in a week or two. Keep rolling. You're on track.

    Is this bud ?? First time grower

    It'll start looking like you're expecting in about 2-3 weeks. All those white pistols will start fattening up around them, and you'll start to see the sticky buds you're expecting. Keep rolling....you're about 1/2 way there.

    First Plant Ready to Harvest..I think?

    My thoughts, exactly! You also spelled "any" wrong. :D

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Ok, the Bruce Banner plants are officially stuffed in the 3X3. This tent is way too small for them, but I don't have room for a 4X4 or larger anywhere. I have 8 plants in the 4X8, so I can't move them there. Was thinking about putting them in the 4X8 for 12h, and then taking them out to sleep...

    Flip advice ?

    A fan should be fine. What @PadawanWarrior is talking about is COMPLETE darkness. No peeking. No pictures. No light whatsoever. Even the smallest LED on a power strip can interrupt things. Complete...darkness.

    Seeds... Not coming out properly

    ^^ This! I used to have the towel soaking wet and I'd wonder why it took so long. Now, I put them in the towel, wet it, squeeze the towel to get rid of all the excess water so the towel is just damp, and then put it in a ziplock. In 2d, I have 1" taproots, and then go straight to soil...

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    I'm going to run it straight through like this. The only thing I'm adding is Cal-Mag to both. I bought mine on a the 4th, and it arrived on 7th. (See the first two posts on this thread.) So I guess it was 4d after I ordered. I think I ordered on a Sunday though. I don't believe I got any...

    To pot up at all or not to..

    I grow in 5gal fabric pots, and go right from the napkin to the pot. I get it ready the day before, water the soil and let it adjust to the tent. I also put a 6" dome over the plant area after I put the taprooted seed in the dirt about .5in down. Leave the dome on until the plant is 1" out of...

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    Correct. Feeding every other water. I only have a syringe, so I'm doing 15cc/mg per gallon of water. I'm also adding 5cc/ml of CalMag and pH-ing the water to 6.5. Following the weekly schedule for the GH nutes. We're on Week 3 now. (I started all nutes at week two.)

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    It snapped at the stalk. Didn't come all the way off...I just heard the CRACK and then the branch went limp. So I put it back up, and wired it in the upright position so it will hopefully heal. That was 3 days ago and the branch still looks healthy, so I think it worked. I'm going to keep...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    That's kinda the point. Even with dual carbon filters, there's still a faint smell, so mixing it with garbage will just make it smell like garbage. Plus, I kinda have a heated garage now.

    First time grower, is it time for flowering?

    ^^ This. If the plants are 1/2 the size you want them to be...then flip them. They'll show their sex after 7-10 days regardless of if the plant is ready. There's no set "do it now!" for plants. Some people keep mother plants for a year in Veg and pull clones off of them, so it'll just keep...

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    A few days later, and take a look at this. (Left: CSFTS. Right: GH 3-part) I'm posting frequent updates, because the change in the size of the plants is dramatic and I don't think anyone would believe me if I just posted a bunch of pics at the end of the run. The CS plants are more than 2X...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Welp....the other tall branch came off today. I went in to check on everything and the top-most branch was getting cooked....literally. It was jammed up against the light and burning. So I took it off a few nodes lower. Now the top-most branch on both plants is about 8" from the light. Still...

    Fastbuds gsc, 2nd autoflower grow.

    Hard to tell from a top-down pic, and everyone's grows are different. Different medium, different strains, different lights, different temps, different nutes. Here are two pair of plants that I have. Both are about 3 weeks old. One set I gave just different nutes to, and you can see the...
