    Why do you newbs always grow auto's?

    Hey bk! Well, the pics really doesn't do justice, but this was my 1st grow about 2 yrs ago. I wasn't into taking pics like that, so these are various stages of the grow. If I'm not mistaken, it was an auto skunk #1 n the company was either auto seeds or nirvana seeds. Not sure if it was a...

    Why do you newbs always grow auto's?

    I have a question. I'm a newbie myself n this is my 2nd grow. I was pretty lucky 1st go round with an auto skunk that gave me 7oz. off of 1 plant. When it comes to regular beans, wouldn't that be a hit or miss on the grow? I mean, not knowing if your gonna get a male or female plant? It's the...

    It definitely shows! I will continue to try n maintain the ph in that range. I use a pool ph tester n reader, since that's the only thing I can find that'll read between those quirky numbers

    Thank you for your input Veteran. I can honestly say that as far as the ph goes, I'm definitely always on top of it. I try n keep it in the 6.0 range n I never let it get to or pass 6.5. I actually changed the water yesterday, balanced the ph, n used zero nutes. Gonna give it a few days b4 I...

    My apologies on the lighting. Truly should've known better. I also just realized that one of the fans on the panel LED isn't working. I haven't had it a week n I'm hoping the fan itself is just loose wiring. I also noticed that I'm getting tons of algae in the buckets with the LEDs. Should I...

    So, I'm not really due for a water change, but I'm doing so now. I really wanna get the burning of the leaves situated, b4 I do anything else. I'm not too keen on failing, so I'll do every n anything possible to prevent. Besides the general flush, any other helpful ideas in combating leaf...

    Hey grow family! As I posted earlier, I haven't posted since I got my LEDs. I have cut down on the nutes since the last post n this week I believe I'm going for a full flush. Not really liking the looks of some leaves, so I'm gonna the plants with no nutes for a week or so n then reintro nutes...

    Hey yeatster! I'm truly glad that you specified n made clear on your wattage. I'm using 2 x 210 true watt panels, which if im not mistaken is like 2 x 450w. I don't think I have posted anything since I've gotten my LEDs' on 4/13/16. I will be writing in either my 1st thread, Intro Plus, for...

    I actually do. Although my 1st DWC was done in a dark colored storage bin n only 2 plants feeding off of the same res, I decided to go with 5 gal buckets this grow, each with their own. I'm pretty much following my same process as the last, but with few minor adjustments. Instead of changing...

    So, this am was my very 1st entry on RIU n I'm more than pleased to have gotten to talk to Swazifarmer. I'm due for a water change 2 day, n I feel in the beginning, I was over powering the seedlings with way too much nutes. The advice was given to flush n run a nute regime far less than what...

    Ok, I have 4 autos that I started a month ago, and I have 2 autos I just put in to germinate on 4/16/16. Strains are auto JH(Jack Herrer) and auto Kush. I'm hoping by the time the sprout, I will have my 2 400w LEDs. If not, their going into the tent with the 4 autos already started under 8 250w...

    Thank you! I have nothing but time n patience, so I'm hoping it'll all work out. I would love to eventually grow photoperiod plants, but I refuse to move on until I have conquered the whole auto flower scene. Would like to see how FIMing and LST work 1st hand. The future is a beautiful thing!

    I will do so. Thank you for taking the time out to talk. May not seem like it, but you have helped me out in more ways than one. Mainly, restoring my damaged confidence! Lol. I will keep updating, posting, and mainly taking pics, whether I feel it's progress or not

    I'm actually scheduled for a water change as we speak and I'm thinking it'll be a good time to initiate that flush now and start over on the feeding. Do you think that I can do anymore harm than I believe I have already caused?

    Lol! Your a million percent right! I will definitely never do that again. I'm also going to be taking your advice and cutting back on the nutes all together. Obviously not completely, but even less than what I have been using. Trust me, your advice isn't falling on deaf ears. I like to do things...
