Looks good. Keep it growing my friend.Hello newbie here... My first grow ... Just been doing research and found this forum. Here's my white widow auto after 30 days since germination.... What do u think?
Thank you. I'm just playing it by sight really. Haven't got a temp gage or ph reader. Got some air coming in from my room. A fan. A little nutes here and there and just tap water. If I see any changes I just reduce something in its diet. Had a little heat burn at the start. A little curl down of the leaves so I read up and found out many too many nutes so just reduced it slightly and so far so good. It's just started to flower so I'm keeping a beedy eye on it.Looks good. Keep it growing my friend.
I was/am in the exact situation you are in. As I am still a complete noob at this, I've learned so much from the hands on part of growing. I am not familiar with the grow box you are speaking of but will take a look. I've been wanting a grow tent but haven't decided to go that route yet. I have had more fun trying to make my own stuff and I'm not handy either. This site and YouTube have step by step instructions. I'm experimenting with a cabinet, strictly for veg and clones, that I threw 6 100w CFL lights into. Good luck!Hey. Total newb to growing anything really. Had to switch up my lifestyle a little bit now that I have a wife and a couple of young kids.
Thanks for the feedback! So did you just start going to the local hydro shop and figure it out as you went or get plans off the internet or something?I was/am in the exact situation you are in.

I read a ton! And after all that I still screwed everything up. I ended up trying to spend as little as possible to start up. Other than a few trial and error buying mistakes, I did pretty good. I divided a space in my attic into a veg room and a flower room. My biggest purchases were 2 inline fans and a 600w HID ballast. I use 100w Panasonic CFL 6500k daylight bulbs in the veg room. I built a reflector that holds 8-10 bulbs (I can't remember). I'm moving it later today so if you'd like, I can take some pictures. The hood maybe cost $15 in parts. A 4 pack of the bulbs are $12 at Home Depot.Thanks for the feedback! So did you just start going to the local hydro shop and figure it out as you went or get plans off the internet or something?
Yeah I am still pretty conflicted about the whole thing. I think if I don't go the box route I will do a couple of tents. It makes sense to me that nothing is really going to become clear until I actually start growing and getting some hands on experience. Just trying to set myself up to be successful as quickly as possible/avoid some headaches. I'm interested in any information I can get my hands on so if you get the chance I will definitely check out some pics. Thanks man!I read a ton! And after all that I still screwed everything up.

Luck!Just signed up, read some things in some forums that peeked my interest and I'm starting my first ever grow with an AeroGarden ultra led. Wish me luck and all advice welcome
Here some pics of my current grow. Sorry for the awful lighting. i didn't want to take any with the HPS light on because of the yellowing. had to take these with a flashlight shining overhead. i'll try to get some better ones closer to harvest, but i don't have a good light up there....no problem! i'll share anything i can. i wish i would have joined here last year! i read, but never interacted. my nutrients were way off, i got spider mites and fungus gnats. i never thought that everyone saying to 'prepare for anything' was right. i think one of the biggest thing that i've learned is how the plants tell you what their problems are. like the nutrient deficiencies...i had an obvious calcium deficiency but didn't know what it was. i had the gnats, but had no idea that's why i was getting spots on the fan leaves. stuff like that. i thought i knew enough, but the hands on is where it's at. my lights come on at 5pm eastern time. i'll get some pics and post them later.
WTF do I know but that looks like pretty strong work to me! Let's stay in touch dude. I decided to go with a couple of tents and a cocoa setup in the garage to start. Linked up with what seems like a kick ass grow shop here in Portland so they will hopefully offer good support and are going to quote me a price for a package kind of a deal. Seems like any growing pains (it's bad but pun intended) I experience will be worth the knowledge gained in the long run since I would like to work towards eventually having a dedicated room or basement when I buy a place here in the next couple of years.

i think that's a good choice to start. sounds good on the staying in touch. after you get it down...which i still haven't...you'll want to dedicate a warehouse! it's way more addicting than i thought it would be.WTF do I know but that looks like pretty strong work to me!
