hey hey everyone new member tonight just joined..how is everyone doing?
What's up fellas. New here, I grow organically as a fun hobby. Mix my own soil using pro-mix BX and all the usual suspects. Some of my results:
Strawberry banana from RP (1kw)
Blue Dream from HSO (from seed, 250w)
My outdoor garden
OG Kush + a single NL auto (2x 600w)
...to name a few. Just wanted to say hello and show off a few plants.
Rhizzolo how many plants you running under those two 600 brotherWhat's up fellas. New here, I grow organically as a fun hobby. Mix my own soil using pro-mix BX and all the usual suspects. Some of my results:

8 plants in 10 gal fabric pots. Lot of soil man, cook it in 2x 45 gal rubbermaids. Cheap as fuck but it's a lot of work.Rhizzolo how many plants you running under those two 600 brother

Nice bro I'm running dwc at the moment trying to cal me so I can get it together.. Hey rhizzolo how do you maximize Penetration with your 600 I ask cause I don't want no popcornMy layout:
Nice setup bro, you can train your plants so they spread like sweet pussy and take full advantage of the light, but when your tent/canopy is maxed out and there's no more space the only thing that will increase yield is more lumens per sq ft. A 1kw puts out 160,000 lumens, divide that by 16sq ft (4x4) and you've got the equivalent of direct sunlight in your growroom. Tough to beat with 600 watters in the same space, popcorn buds in my 4x8 are the reason I upgraded to 1kwers. You'll get more usable, solid, dense buds with the 1kw than you will with the 600w. Training will only take you so far before the canopy begins to interfere with light distribution.Nice bro I'm running dwc at the moment trying to cal me so I can get it together..

Your sweet pussy analogy is killer after posting this I'm gonna go get me a piece lolLook at the difference between my 1kw buds and my 250w buds.. same amount of tops but the 1kw buds are much heavier.
Are you foliar feeding them? Or are you getting ANY water/nutes on the foliage?I am a beginner grower. Attempting in a 10' X 8' greenhouse (as picture shown). Got a late start so I purchased (first week of July, they were almost a foot tall) "teens" of various strains and have them in pots (13).
The first 6, BLUEBERRY DIESEL I purchased looked tall, scraggly and sort of weak. They were accompanied by 2 scraggly weak looking TRAIN WRECK strain.
Following day I acquired 5 more of various strains that looked super healthy. These are also teens.
I am on well water so the ph is high. Been adjusting ph with SPA down to appropriate levels for soil growing. Now I just read that I should use vinegar instead.
I used "ROOTS ORGANIC" for soil.
PROBLEM IS that on the 2 TRAIN WRECK that never looked super healthy to begin with the leaves are turning brown. SEE PIC Now my healthiest second batch is starting this browning of leaves.
Now some of the others that started out looking really great they are starting this also.
Friend mentioned to me that maybe they are getting too hot and burning. Temp reads 115 sometimes in GH. But is that were true wouldn't all of them look burnt? All windows open and are screened in GH.
The first 6 BLUEBERRY DIESEL that looked scraggly and weak now look the best with no browing at all.
Any ideas on why this may be happening? Drainage is good on all pots.
I much appreciate any advise. Thanks!View attachment 3463715
Well, a big issue that I have seen, or heard, is people not being taught about "heat pockets". If your glass is morphed or the plastic is reflective and has curves and/or morphs in it, they will act like a magnifying glass when you would fry an ant. This is why I would NEVER use aluminium foil for reflection, and why I would have someone experienced to hang other materials as well. The only thing i do myself is paint.I have added FloraNova "Grow" nutrient to water twice in past few weeks. This nutrient is supposed to be for growing hydroponically but I am using this since I have on hand. Have read that "less is more".
Growing outdoors in a greenhouse so no lights are needed. The picture to the left is a pic of the GH. The windows are glass and the roof is this hard plastic white material that has waves or ridges. So the upper sunlight is muted and not full strength. The windows all slide open and all are screened. There are two upper square windows that open on either end to ensure the flow of air that I keep open all the time. I have no fans inside the GH maybe I should?
Soil is ROOTS ORGANIC.
First off I think I will stop using the SPA down to lower the ph in water. I will try vinegar as I have read. I have white vinegar and BRAGGS "of the mother" apple cider organic vinegar. Which do you think would be better?
It does get really hot in the GH on days. But if the leaves were getting singed from heat and sun wouldn't all of them ? It is only happening to some of them, maybe 4 out of 13.
No. DO NOT MIST!! Some like to mist, but i am against it. Especially as a noob. It is too easy to burn the plants if you dont have the correct experience and knowledgeOh and should I mist them with nutrient added ph adjusted water occasionally? And if yes how often do you recommend? Thanks.
Ummm.....what week into flowering are you(since going 12/12)? What strain? What is the length of the flowering cycle (8, 10, 12+ weeks)?First attempt at lolipopping did I go to far
