If I could keep my room at 22C I would, but I don't any form of a/c, just a ceiling fan and the wind that blows through my apt all day. I'm right on top of the tropic of Capricorn, so I get hot weather most of the year round.

Perhaps it's the time between actually beginning flower to harvest? Like we see on photo packaging. Anyway, obviously checking trichs and overall development is a lot more important than the information on the box. And wow, what an ingenious and beautiful technique. Will definitely implement...

An absolutely valid point and something I had always believed myself, but I saw a lot of locals doing it, so I figured I'd try it myself. This particular NL auto is marketed as 55-60 days, so I've noticed it's got a really short veg timer indeed. Again, this entire 40x40 grow is experimental...

Yeah, those look beautiful. I wanted to combine 1 topping with LST, but I probably didn't gain much in the way of yields (if anything). This single auto is meant to be more of a learning experience, since my photoperiod girls should provide me with enough bud until my next cycle ends, but yes, I...

So I started a second tent to keep up with my personal demand, and decided to put an auto in there (my first auto). Specs: 40cm x 40cm x 120cm (so it's pretty tiny/skinny) - 10 x 15W 4000K commercial LEDs - organic soil mix, 2 feeds of root starter + 1 veg feed from BioBizz organics (as per...

No, only three. I feel like I should start more, but they would be almost 1 month behind the current ones :/ Even if I started an automatic seed, I'd have to continue to veg these 3 for another 70 days, and there's no telling how stretchy these bagseed babies will be. These 3 were just the 3...

Hello Chronic, So I was looking for a "quality" bong (or actual bong, versus my previous carb-hole bong) and went downtown a few weeks ago. There I stumbled upon several headshops, one of which sold me this bong at what I believed to be an amazing price...

So, mini-update: both of the taller seedlings are working on their 4th set of leaves, and the runt is showing progress, albeit runt-like slow progress, progress nonetheless. The taller/stretchier seedling's cotyledons have started to yellow/necrotize on the tip. Does this mean that the plant is...

Word, thanks, man. I gave them plain pH'd water this time (5 nights after the last plain watering) at the beginning of their day cycle and they are responding pretty well (it would seem) to 250W MH I put ~160 cm away from them (will move closer as required). It's super bright in there, so I...

This is the root stimulator I have been using. 100% organic it says on the bottle.

Okay, roger that. My promix is 50 turf - 50 perlite. It has no nutes (or hardly any at aaalll) - I specifically did not buy the Organic Light Promix. I gave them a weak feeding upon transplant, which was about two weeks ago now (lol, should have written down the days), but they both got plain...

Understood; thank you! As for watering, though, what time of their day is best for root development?? Water them just before their night cycle or right at the beginning of their day cycle? Is it okay to water in the middle of their day cycle? I'm thinking about doing a feeding for my next...

Heya RIU community, how're they growing? I have been growing these 2 (+ runt) for the past two weeks or so. I removed a similar homemade humidome from the 2 taller babies yesterday for the first extended period. I just decided not to put them back on, but I'm confident they could handle more...

I see your point, but at least for this run I'm going to do it this way (jiffy > solo > finishing smartpot). I just have to do things in a way which I will have more control over what's going on. Plus, by putting in finishing pots, I use a lot more soil and water (and pH down), not to mention...

Thanks, yo. Do you remove the jiffy pellet "skin" or no? Nighttime temp has stabilized at ~81 Fahrenheit/~27 Celsius and 82% RH. I just made a makeshift tower within the dome to allow the bigger/older seedlings to grow out a bit more/spread their cotyledons properly. Basically stacked two...
