    Energetic strain reccomendation

    Good deal man, I'll check out headband for sure. How are your beans offered? I've checked out your journal, profile, etc. and looks like you have some killer things going on but it isn't clear how to actually acquire any of your gear. The closest I've seen is you mentioning "you wont find my...

    Energetic strain reccomendation

    Hey everyone. So my very first grow went well. I opted for auto strains King Kush, White Widow and Kandy Kush. I've tried them all and while they all certainly offer a very physical and relaxing high which is perfect for my winding down stash, I was hoping you guys could help recommend something...

    Transplanting to 1 or 3 gallon

    Nice bro.

    Transplanting to 1 or 3 gallon

    I read the same things regarding autos, basically provide the best environment you can for them and let them do their thing which makes total sense. There isn't any time in their internal clock to recover from much of anything let alone topping. You didn't mention what your running this time...

    Transplanting to 1 or 3 gallon

    Being a newbie I'm not sure because I have nothing to compare it to. I can tell you that I never watered more frequently than once every 3 days. I'd give them a good watering to the point where I'd get some run-off at the bottom and stop. Then I'd let it dry out for a few days and check the...

    carbon filter works but NEED backup

    Hey bro similar situation here. I've got a totally buttoned up tent with an 8" fan and scrubber, negative pressure, etc. but found that my wife could smell it from another floor if I simply had the tent open for more than a few minutes due to our HVAC fan re-circulating all the time. She...

    soil too hot?

    Out of curiosity what is the cayenne pepper looking stuff sprinkled on the top in the first pics? In all pictures they seem droopy, possibly overwatered. I would imagine that given the fact that your using soil designed to hold water, a flush on plants this young and this droopy can't be a safe...

    Transplanting to 1 or 3 gallon

    FoxFarm ocean forest with a bit of light warrior in the center core of the pots for the seedlings. I started them in the 3G pots though. This round I re-amended the soil that same soil. Just posted it here an hour ago.

    True although I don't remember missing handles when using my 3G pots. After about a month of settling/watering they kind of firm up their shape and can be pretty easily grabbed from the bottom and lifted. They slide around very easily too for re-positioning.

    Nada although I think they now offer handled 3G smart pots. My new roottrapper's don't have handles either.

    2nd Grow - Exotic Genetics Citrus Berry, Organic, Mainlined, 300W CXB3590

    Ok so I'm onto my second grow. This time I'm going to go with an organic mainline based grow with some exotic genetics citrus berry. I've moved to 5G RootTrapper II soft pots (used 3G smart pots last round) and amended my used foxfarm ocean forest soil with buildasoil's craft blend which...

    Transplanting to 1 or 3 gallon

    It's crazy. The sizing isn't constrained proportionately like my simple brain assumed it would be. My 5G pots hold more than twice what my 3G pots did. I honestly thought a 3G pot fit 3 gallons of whatever while a 5G fits five gallons. Shit no, check this out: 3G smart pot @ 10" diameter and 7"...

    Transplanting to 1 or 3 gallon

    Height wise my two king kush plants reached just under 4' including the pots. Here is a photo a week or so before harvest. The king kush are the ones in the center, they are on the floor and not raised like the white widow and candy kush on the left and right. In hindsight this was plain...

    How am I doing?

    Shit man, well done!!!

    Transplanting to 1 or 3 gallon

    If it helps, I ended up going with Rootmaker's RootTrapper II 5G pots. They breath like smart pots with a fabric construction but have a perforated outer shell with 1" of exposed fabric at the bottom for extra draining. Here are mine cooking (organic this round) while my little guys grow in...

    Transplanting to 1 or 3 gallon

    Yeah bro, by late veg on some autos I had roots shooting out the sides of my 3G smart pots about 1" from the bottom. I believe that is the idea though and the reason they mention "air pruning" as being a benefit. It worked. After the roots grew out about 1/4" they seemed to just stop. I think...

    Oscillating temp controlled heater in tent ok?

    Thanks man, they are Cree 3590s @ 3500k via Timber's 300W kit. I'm itching to supplement though. They run so cool that towards the end of my last (first) grow I had them reflector-less at 6" from canopy with zero burning or light bleaching while keeping temps below 84°. If I go that route I'll...
