Things You found Out on your own

i have grow super lemon haze and yes these strain love light, and i had mine 10" from a 600w hps and yellow leafs 2 ft down from top of plant from lack of light
these things say forget the water, drip feed me the bottle of nutes


i was also growing critical mass 14" below the same light and had light bleached leafs

i think super lemon haze is a very good strain and yeilds ok and smokes very good.
in 14ltr pots of soil i got about 2 and 1/2oz off each plant

what you getting

Man! That is soooo true!

Found that there is always somebody smarter then you willing to offer help. And most of the time there a fucking idiot.
The biggest thing I found is. Duct tape, HVAC tape, and string is a must. And not the cheep shit. Pay the extra 2 bucks it will save you 6.

People would rather have indicas over sativas and getting mold when youre curing sucks

My SLH actually seem to want minimal nitrogen, but holy shit fast deficiency when their potassium got a little low!

Tomato cages work awesome for topped bushes.

Master kush want potas. All the way thru and nit only the first 3 weeks. Just a heads up. All strains are different.

-seeds sprout with out light.-dat I can smoke for free basicaly (other then what i invested in)
-and not to think everytime someone knocks on my door is a cop(i need to control my highs) paranoid lol

1. 15 to 20 gallon shrub pots
2. soil from barnyard that hadn't had animals around for several years, manure had time to break down.
3. miracle grow potting soil added to barnyard soil.
4. throw a handful (about 100) seeds from weed that had about 4-5 seeds per ounce, into a cup of water to soak for 24 hours.
5. usually about 30 will sprout which are planted into loosely packed soil in pots and watered.
6. plain water for the first 2 weeks then add fertilizer about every 2 weeks.
7. moth balls around patch to keep animals away. I had problems with groundhogs and deer.
8. grow until middle - end of November in western Maryland.
Harvest about 1 to 2.5 lbs of cut and cured bud per plant that would beat most hydro for quality and strength of high.

Less is more in most cases and get a calendar to keep track of feedings and other things pertaining to your plants. Theses 2 things helped me out tremendously during my current grow that's on day 53 of 12/12.

That cutting anything green off of your plants is just a bad idea.

Unless you scrog.

im gonna have to agree with that, leaves are basically solar panels so you should try to keep as many as possible. the only time i defoliate is if the leaf is in the shadows, or if im taking off clones.

Don't start a plant in soil and then transplant to a soil coco mix. Ruined a healthy 3 foot bubba kush plant

Some Simple things that i learned that i wished i knew before hand
1: Dont sqeeze the rockwool blocks (destroys the airpockets)
2: If you work with small spaces and your new then flip them earlier than you want to. (my colombian gold more than trippled since 12/12
3: No base nutes on seedlings. They need to mature and build some roots before nutrient uptake can begin.
4: Unless you a physically incapable of doing so, then DIY everything you use. Home depot is your best friend. Theres a reason the hydro companys are successful. everything they sell they built for 1/3rd of the price probably.
5: Dont buy cheap digital ballasts. if they dont have a proper radio shield on them it will mess with local cable stuff (forcing cablemen to your area)

IKR? and your hundred dollar ones that are supposed to last forever burn out in a month and youre fucked.

I found out how to provide the optimum conditions and nutrition
for my grows in and outdoors.

i found out that i don't need to have a fan blowing over my vegging plants. i'm not saying you won't need it, just that i don't.

i typically keep clones or seedlings in 18oz party cups until i move them to the flower room at around 70 days. i tie them down or top them. they stay pretty small in the party cups and explode when i transplant into 3 or 5 gallon smart pots.

i either use a 6 foot long closet or a 3 foot square one for vegging. i didn't have a fan on my last two vegging crops (both clones and seedlings) and i don't see a bit of difference in the strength of stalks of these vs the stalks of other grows where i did have a fan on them for at least 12 hours a day.

i'm cutting these later today. this picture was taken at 52 days.

they stood by themselves until just recently when the colas got too heavy.



these stalks are thin but that's because they were in the party cups too long. some of the others are twice as thick. the stalks of plants that i had fans on are no different. i'll easily get an OZ off of each plant. 16 plants and one runt should keep me trimming for awhile.

i've also found that it's very easy to forget the little things after a bunch of grows. important little things.

it's good to review periodically.

Try Thrive Alive (not the organic one) B-1 next time; I moved 64 plants from soil to aero and every single one survived.
