I have no males so far.All "feminised" except 3 afghanis, 1 is fem the other has a thing poking out that I thought could be make but now I see a sharp hair coming out but taking forever to grow at all. I mean, could a male come way after a confirmed female of same strain?
Im feeding Soil A + B in the morning (1st Nutrient Treatment)
Hopefully my plants thicken up some, Im going to have to flip bigger plantsminto flower pretty soon due to the size of my tent you think? (4x4)
Im doing LST on a good portion and topped almost everything. My Strawberry blue is quite scrawny, needs to toughen up or it might not hold much bud. Any suggestions?

I have a 8 inch Ventech duct BOOSTER fan I bought because my hood is 8 inch as well. First off is 4 inch enough, and will it be ok with 8" to 4" reducer? Thanks (says its 420 cfm, doubt it)

My humidity meter says its below 30% so I need to get that up. It usually says around 23%! The plants are looking good though,

LST is going well I think, Im just trying to keep the very top level or below the rest. One plant(also afghani kush,) is shorter and bushier causing the fan leaves to block light from future bud sites. Ill put a pic up when I get home in 2 hours.

Used Soil A + B last night, next time Ill use Root Excelurator as well.

I was looking at starting a Hempy Bucket tonight as well, either that, try organic or a single unit DWC or ebb\flow. I read all the time and am getting a little bored.

You'll want to go aqua flakes A&B for Hempy or DWC.

The new growth on a lot of my plants is very light green almost yellow, and didnt look very healthy on one plant, almost withery looking. I just fed yesterday (tuesday) should i feed again thursday? Im going to use the drip clean, i heard that its required but on another hand if you dont start with it (I juzt started nutes on day 38 does that count?) You cant use it or itll unlock a bunch at once or something. I havnt been checking runoff but im going to, I feel like I should be doing something more for my plants.

KInd Sir as far as watering and feeding, only water when the plant needs it pick up each plant and see if its light or heavy if light then its time to water. And just like frog said why the humidifier you did not need to spend the money on it but what is done is done. Next before jumping in doing scrogs and DWC you really need to get a few grows under your belt I would say at lest 3 will do so you can get the feel of whats going on in your tent. I just looked at your last pics and they are doing ok but I would like to see were you put your fan as its now time that those plants really need it to get strong. One other tip is to turn your plants a quarter turn each day to make sure that the lower part of the plants are getting light and all so that the fan will hit them from a different this will help with the strength of the plant. I will try to come by here more often to help out just dont over do it these fist few rounds. Your doing fine keep it up and dont stress out!

Im not doing scrog, I need clones to be comfortable starting out. Ill put pictures of my tent up when I get home in few hours. Im waiting for my inline fan\scrubber to come but for now all I have is 8in duct booster fan up top for outake. I have a small fan blowing through my hood, and another small fan blowing my canopy.

I need to buy a high temp\low temp meter but my temps are day\night 79\70
I got humidifier cuz my RH is barely 30 causing me too water more often, there for I need less nutes per water confusing me even more! I get anxiety from reading all the time that this is more of a job than a hobby.

Thanks for being so kind, I just have a few questions when you have time. Thanks

I have a friend on Dank Tank that bought a 10 pack of seeds that cost about $100 and everyone of them were male he just laugh it off but I think that I would have been pissed. But you do get what you get unless you buy Fem seeds. Looking forward to see the pics of your tent, I just got baked this morning so hope you can read these lol.

Ya thatd be horrible, No males so far 90% of mine are fem though. Thats my hood and duct booster, no ducting as of yet. I think thats what we were talking about. The plants seemed to like the A B, roots excelurator and drip clean, see how it goes. Already learned alot!

Sorry Sir, been out for a while doing the Easter thing combined with lots of work.

I read through and lots of good advice from the guys posting.

I use neem oil but only on other plants outside but for weed I only used it once when I had lots of bugs and ONLY during VEG. The pest strips fixed the bug problems anyway. Don't spray neem oil on your plants during flower. In fact, I wouldn't spray anything on them.

The feeding, like the guys above said, go full strength and although I've never used the nutes you are using, everything I've used required a Cal-Mag supplement in both soil and hydro. For the price, I'd recommend calimagic. Botanicare has a cal-mag line but it's more expensive and calimagic works just as good.

The watering, like the guys said, just wait till the pots get real light (I used to just wait until my leaves would start to wilt a bit). I wouldn't add any peroxide or other stuff to your water either. Generally the pH with water and most nutrient lines will be in a good enough range unless your water is really fucked up.

Before you flower, I'd chop the yellow leaves off, they aren't doing anything for the plant anyway.

The fan combo: I have that inline fan you have and it won't pull enough if you have a big filter with the same diameter. I'd order the small one from walmart and get the reducers at home depot. If needed you could run the big inline fan in conjunction with the smaller kit to aid with air flow.

Overall looking good man, just keep it simple, no spraying shit on the leaves, no peroxide and stuff in the water and you'll be good to go. I'd recommend practicing with tomatoes or bell peppers in the hydro first. Both of those you can kind of control the flowering by changing nutes etc, it's very, very helpful and will give you the experience without expensive seed costs. Plus you can eat em too!

Ok I hear you man. They say the nutes Im using is for soil WITHOUT lime added so I figure I wont need calmag, Ill buy it anyway just to have.Ill go just about full strength this next time around.Im getting a 6 inch actually, its the one above. I read some posts sayingit doesnt work, but Im not going to worry and just buy it.

Ill probably harvest then start practicing hydro like you said, my gf is home when Im not so she has some studying to do. What type should I do, is your specialty hydroponics?
My ph meter (milwaukee600aq ) is out of calibration and I just got it only used it a few times, got to buy 7.0 solution now!

Thanks again dude
