    What pot to use and what soil

    You can start in whatever size pot you want. If you start in a bigger pot, it can be easy to overwater it just because it's a bigger pot. That said, being a new grower, I would use the bigger pot. Are you planning on growing indoors? If so, what kind of lighting do you have? As far as soil and...

    Truenorth has seemed to become a little lackluster lately. Shipping is definitely taking longer than usual.

    Straight forward LED question

    I bought a blurple at the start of my growing life. Huge waste. I shortly upgraded to quantum boards (qb288 v2). Started with 1, then bought 2 more. Still working on upgrading but for about 500 bucks I have pretty good lighting in my 4x4.

    I also have the same experience with truenorth. I purchased 8 seeds, got the 1 freebie by default, and they gave me 3 more afghan kush regluar seeds from World of Seeds. Every seed I have received from truenorth has germinated and grew to be healthy. 23 plants now with 100% success.

    How are these girls looking

    They are looking pretty light. Have you fed them anything?

    First time growing autoflowers

    Autoflowers have the "stretch" just like they all do when initially starting the flowering stage. Some phenos stretch more than others, I have been shocked by a few that just kept getting taller and taller. I would plan on them doubling in height, maybe even triple.

    LED Lights

    You will need both of them, just hang them side by side with a little space in between. These lights will work fine for Veg however I've seen mixed results during flowering.

    How many weeks left?

    If you have a hard time telling when it's getting close, the easiest thing for the naked eye is to watch the pistils. The pistils will turn from white to orange, the bud is still not ready. The pistils will recede into the bud as it swells up for the final time. This is when you can start...

    Do I seem ready? (Pictures included)

    I'm with @Lordhooha here, I don't think that you 'need' to flush at all. Especially if you are getting proper runoff to rid the excess salts, I believe 15-20% runoff is adequate.

    Do I seem ready? (Pictures included)

    Those buds will swell up more and the hairs will recede into the bud. The hairs won't be sticking out all over the place when it's ready.

    Gave this guy big grow....

    I have had good results growing seedlings in Happy Frog with no added nutrients. Happy Frog isn't as hot as Ocean Forest.

    Gave this guy big grow....

    1/4 dose is still kind of strong for a seedling in my opinion. You don't need nutes that early if you have a hot soil (i.e. Fox Farms Ocean Forest, Happy Frog). Start with a weaker dose, your plants will let you know they are hungry and you can feed them, but overfeeding is harder to deal...

    Three White Widow, One Cheese from Canuk Seeds

    Yea I'm really happy with the two Christmas tree looking White Widows. The other one just won't stop getting taller! It's a foot taller than the rest.

    Three White Widow, One Cheese from Canuk Seeds

    Hey all, just wanted to share my first grow of autos from Canuk Seeds. First grow ever for that matter. I have 3 White Widow and 1 Cheese. The Cheese has impressed me the most so far. Growing under LEDs, soon to be all QBs. For now it's 1QB and 1 blurple. 3x White Widow Cheese The...

    4x4 LED Grow, First Grow

    That plant beneath the tall one looks okay. The tall one however is stretched very tall and slender. You just got your 600w and fluro? What did you grow that under before those? Are you using premixed potting soil that has nutrients?

    4x4 LED Grow, First Grow

    I think you will be okay for Veg, not great but just "getting by." the actual wattage used by the r+b lights are significantly less than advertised. For example, my 1200w draws less than 200w actual power. For flowering you might have a hard time with one 600w blurple 1 floro for 3 plants...

    4x4 LED Grow, First Grow

    Yeah that's what I figured as well. Yes, I have one QB288 v2, a 135 kit. I can only afford at most 1 new qb a month. Thanks Budz, nice setup and good suggestions! Your plants look great! I have slightly modified my setup to get the most out of my space in the tent for now. My fans used to...

    4x4 LED Grow, First Grow

    Thanks Mantis, I usually have them at about 18 inches. They could have been higher in the photo, I honestly do not remember. I was just excited to get my quantum board hanging. The temperature can reach 80-81 degrees during the peak of the day with the lights on. Until I get a fan and filter...
