    New here, just need some pointers please

    Your tent sorry. It's not necessary but it was something a lot of people I knew back in the day did. One of my buddies used to use pop bottles and yeast for co2 like 10-15 years ago. A cheap humidifier is also an option but you'll be turning it off in a few weeks when your plants get bigger.

    Put a bowl of water in your room. Or run a humidifier. Try to make sure your temps match with your humidity so the plants can transpire properly. As your plants get bigger it will be less of an issue. The second half of flower I tend to run my humidity low (~40%) if I can reasonably. My first...

    New Member, First Grow!

    The soil looks like it has a lot.of wood chips in it, I was always told those are a no-no because they mess with your ph balance when they break down and if added dry they absorb nutrients from the soil, I was told to use something like bio-char instead and soak it before adding it. Also based...

    New Member, First Grow!

    It's rare for there to be only 1 bug. I'd inspect my soil and plants top and bottom. Set up some yellow stickycards that will give you a general idea of how many and what you have if you do. I usually put fresh cards up every transplant or move, it's a cheap effective way to quickly see if you...

    Roots organics greenlite? Help with organics?

    Was actually a typo I meant big blossom, but still very useful information. I have used big bud in the past and I wasn't disappointed. I essentially still use the same product from a different brand now. I mostly just stopped using AN nutrients after they started giving me problems, while their...

    Roots organics greenlite? Help with organics?

    Have any of you guys used this stuff extensively before? I bought a few bags because they were out of the mix I usually get down the street, so far I'm a fan of it-at least for transplanting my clones. I mixed in about 20% ancient forest since its my tea base anyways and it's still very light...

    Make your own nutrients.

    I can actually back this up, I was just reading an article about how they plan on using essentially pee diverting toilets to grow crops in the developing world. Apparently it's an extremely well rounded nutrient that's obviously free and abundant. They explained that a typical family of four...

    Snapped stem.. any chance of recovery!?

    You can essentially rip a branch off and duct tape it back on so long as you're not too far along. I think you'll be fine, just support it. Our stems are a bit weak from a root aphid issue and I split one about 6 inches down the main trunk weaving it into the trellis, it healed just fine after...

    Depending on how I'm planning on training for bloom usually between my 4th and 6th nodes, I'll almost always let 6-7 form then top down 2-3 nodes to get a stronger base (at least in my experience). At that point I'd let another few nodes grow then top again and spread it out. It's essentially...

    Thought it was fungus gnats.... root aphids?

    Yeah it definitely ended up being aphids. Went a little overboard out of caution and have been rotating sprays (foliar pack, insecticidal soap) and did a dunk with a similar product and after they dried out we gave them tea with Bti wrapped the bags in pantyhose and sprinkled diatomaceous earth...

    Light Upgrade

    1000w isn't necessary if he's just doing a small personal grow, I personally wouldn't run less than a 400w though, and if you plan on having more than a few plants at least a 600. If you're looking for any sort of weight 1000w single or de, or at least 400+ true watts of cobs. My first grow...

    Light Upgrade

    I'm not sure why you think having horticultural lights is a big deal, a lot of people near me in Michigan have smaller indoor gardens for herbs and stiff during the winter. If you're worried about physically going into a grow shop you can order off of Amazon or eBay and they don't report what...

    New here, just need some pointers please

    No it wasn't humic or fulvic acid it was like ascibic or something, I tried to Google for it but didn't find it. There are some sprays for hermies that work but mine was a liquid feed. I could have just gotten lucky and paid like 200 bucks for 8 oz of snake oil I guess. The way he explained it...

    New here, just need some pointers please

    That's rough. How far into flower? Are you sure you can't use those stress hormone supressors or something like that? Luckily I never gave toxicity to any of mine near the end of the stretch I stunted a few of their growths for sure though. I did totally herm the fuck out of my crop once, had...

    Help with the Best way to instll Exhaust fan in tent?

    I had an inline jammed halfway in and out of a tent before , I used the collar on the vent cover thingies to hold one end up and a rope ratchet on the other end. This was out of necessity because my hood was a terrible size for my tent and took up about 80% of it. Was also one of my first grows...

    Will 10 hrs of light make my plant stunted?

    Really 8 hours and it was faster? That has to be extremely strain specific. The most I've ever heard of anyone sustaining for the majority of flower was 10/14. I've read that you can use some far red lighting to force your plants to "sleep" faster to run more light (13-11 14-10) and they...

    If your plant is super stressed you'll see a lot of irregular growth, smooth edges, 1-3 leaf growths twisted leaves, stuff like that. Basically when your plant doesn't look like weed anymore it's telling you to stop killing it. And even if you put cal mag in the dirt doesn't mean the plant can...

    Why do they refer to Cannabis as a weed?

    If you're gonna drill that many holes you might as well just connect them all to one going down in the center and burn it out. My grandpa did it with like a 3-4ft diameter stump using one of those 3 foot long augurs(like 1.5" dia) and an electric drill or impact. If they all connect you add a...

    First grow!!! HELP!!

    I used to have too much time on my hands I probably redid that room at least once every other month for like a year until I was happy. There's always a way to make something better if you look hard enough lol.

    Flush because nute burn

    Oops didn't know you were in coco, those were mostly soil answers, in coco I'd still probably wait until I saw a deficiency to feed the first time, or is start at like 1/4 or even 1/8 the dose if it's still in early veg like that. The compost tea is still probably a good idea though, it should...
