I have this blinking red light on temp meter... doesn’t take much... but I already knew this... some genetics are more prone I’m guessing

Wow Ive heard of even light flashlight or extended cellphone exposure can stunt it drastically.

It’s because red is the most responsive light I believe.

If you need to do urgent work at night time invest in a head torch that has a green light setting.

Green light is fine for an hr.

Looking good but that last pic appears you hit Fe lock/def?

Here are some things that can cause that, Overfeeding p/k, overwatering or simply just deficient in iron.

Other than that, you did a good job for a first time grow.

I flowered plants in a room with the steady red light from a power bar switch and a green led bright enough that I could navigate the room after my eyes adjusted less than 3 feet from the plant, no issues. Anything less than full moon light shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks man.. ive noticed the new growth doesnt turn green until midday. What eould you recomend for a beginner bloom nutes. On a budget walmart or something. I heard certain miracle gros are a no no.

Renfro · Jul 31, 2019

Don't overfeed. Don't harvest early. Reduce nitrogen (as you mentioned) as flowering progresses and increase the potassium and phosphorous.

If you can get some 10-30-20 that would be good for flower. I ran that long ago, i think it was peters brand.

Miracle grow soils are too hot.Miracle grow nutes can be used if you adjust the dose lower than their recommendations. That being said I don't know if they make anything appropriate for flowering. I use promix organic based tomatoes,vegetables and fruits garden fertilizer 3-6-12 for flowering. I don't know if you can get it at home depot or walmart in the states, but if you're in Canada, you can get it there or Canadian Tire. You might be able to get it on amazon.

I flowered 8 huge plants in my one room cabin winter before last. No tent. It’s Alaska so dark is no problem. I watched movies on my television. Used my phone just like now. Not a single problem. Except I hated sitting in the dark except for a couple of hours and reading using a RED headlight. Not suggesting anyone else try this. I have a tent now. But that scrogged grow produced!
