I wanted to provide an update as my Ethiopian grow is winding down. Not done yet but I've started harvesting a few buds/branches every couple days. I grew two females - vegged until they showed sex, cloned, then flowered the clones. I grew them in 11-ish gallon SIPs in recycled soil. They...

I understand the concern, rippers still exist even in a legal state. Does the garage have windows? I'd be more worried about someone noticing the extremely bright (possibly distinctly colored) light when you open the tent. Other than that, don't overthink it. When's the last time you saw into...

Was this an autoflower or photo period plant? You grew it indoors? What light schedule did you use?

Dang what a beauty, thanks for sharing! Yeah you should be good... :bigjoint:

Looks fine to me. If you're used to the look of dispensary or black-market weed, freshly dry home-grown definitely seems to have a different appearance (better IMO) because it hasn't been packed or stored... Any pics of it before chop? And I'd venture to say there is no way it was overripe if...

What are the actual temps where it's at now? Unless it gets below freezing you could probably just let it reveg there and take the cuttings inside when it starts vegetative growth again.

You can re-use it indefinitely, and over time the more you re-use it the better it will get. I usually re-amend my soil with: - 5-10% worm castings per total soil volume - 5-10% perlite per total soil volume - 1/4 cup dry amendments per gallon of soil (Espoma, Gaia Green, etc, whatever is...

Off to the side is the perfect spot for it. Light/nutrients you want to give just enough to maintain good health.

https://overgrow.com/t/bonsai-mums-by-oldtimer1/1433 This is an amazing article that I post every chance I get. The method they describe is in soil, not hydro, but the basic principle is the same - trim the above-ground growth very frequently and prune the root ball a few times a year to limit...

Doesn't look like flowering to me, but some close-up pics when you get a chance couldn't hurt

Can we see some pics? Your fertilizer did not cause this. It's possible they're just sexually mature and showing pre-flowers

It's less work and in organic soil I can't see it making a significant difference. Most dry organic ferts like Espoma, Gaia Green, etc instruct you to top dress once a month.

If it were me, I would probably top dress 3x as much as they recommend, but only do it every 3 weeks

I like to go by when the hairs are all brown and the calyxes swell to look like they have seeds inside. The buds will have an appearance almost like popped popcorn (see pic) I checked trichomes my first couple of grows, it's annoying and unnecessary imo If you vegged for 2 months you're...

Not sure if that is one plant or multiple, but it all looks super healthy so I wouldn't worry about letting it run a bit longer. The risk of it going "past due" is very low. Since it seems like you are itching to sample the fruits of your labor, we will permit you to cut one large/top bud, OR...

Second the moisture stress suggestion. In my experience, when soil is totally dry it can take about 1/4 of its total volume in water, so that would be more like 750 mL if it's totally dry. And if the soil has dried out to the point of being hydrophobic (water runs off easily instead of soaking...

Agree on the chilies. I feel like hot peppers and herbs are some of the few crops where you can get enough usable yield in a small space to justify growing in a tent or grow box...

Ty for the detailed explanation. I have no need for an intake fan in my setup, seems like one of those things new growers see advertised by companies selling grow equipment, and automatically assume they need one too...

At what point do you need to use an intake fan in addition to the usual exhaust fan? Is it solely dependent on tent/room size? Is there any specific benefit to adding an active intake fan, vs increasing the size or number or passive intake ports?

I think you are way overthinking this. Unless the roots are sitting directly in water ala DWC, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water is pretty irrelevant. Use a well-draining medium and don't over-saturate it, and your roots will have all the oxygen they need.
