    HELP WITH SEEDLING

    Sounds good. Here's my little setup: 2 flowering Girl Scout Cookies in the tent, 1 GSC seedling in the veg closet (note the mylar) with 2 clones. Harvest in 5-6 weeks, then these 3 move to the tent. I have made, am probably making, and will certainly continue to make mistakes. But so far...

    HELP WITH SEEDLING

    Let's get him through ONE GROW, as simple & cheaply as possible before worrying him with salt, etc. I use vinegar since my well water is 8.0 and I use 2 tblsps/gal to reach 6.1-6.2. My medium is slightly acidic, too. I'm planning on trying DWC hydro in the fall/winter and will use ph UP/DOWN...

    HELP WITH SEEDLING

    Okay, ph. There are nutrient articles on the 'net that show the ph ranges the plants need to use certain nutrients. Their needs change as they age and mature, so providing the right ph at the right time gives you the best chance at max healthy plants. That being said, you can PROBABLY get a...

    HELP WITH SEEDLING

    You want as many photons as possible reaching the plants, so think 'reflect' vs. 'escape'. Mylar film does a good job - you can mount it to cardboard and put it on the walls of your 'closet'. Those silvered car windshield covers ($1.00 at Dollar General) would be a good, easy solution also...

    HELP WITH SEEDLING

    You haven't shown enough PLANTS to justify another light, but oh well. Now you have a 'short' problem (probably) - and the extra light and heat may wipe you out anyway (hopefully leaving you a house to live in)...

    HELP WITH SEEDLING

    Well, I AM a little skeptical - and the need for another light isn't too clear - but what the hell, maybe he'll fail upward!

    HELP WITH SEEDLING

    "Metal catching fire" sounds like an electrical short somewhere. Is that possible?

    HELP WITH SEEDLING

    18/6 is kinda the 'gold standard' around here until flowering time. Mine did well at it - but be prepared for 2 weeks of 'small progress', followed by an amazing (remember I'm noob, too) amount of development shortly after...

    HELP WITH SEEDLING

    Newbie myself, but FWIW it doesn't look fatal. The plant's been "handled" so much that damage was inevitable. The problem you've been having with the advice you're getting is that you're asking unanswerable questions: Will it be okay? Will it live? NOBODY KNOWS what damage a particular...

    Damn, this is fun! (when things go well)

    First shot: 3 seeds germinated - only 1 really "took" - then it went hermie... Second shot 3-for-3 germinated, fems - and in 3rd week of flowering, are...FLOWERING. 1 of 2 last seeds germinated, other terminated - but added 2 clones so 3 flowering and 3 headed toward veg. I LOVE IT WHEN A...

    Mutant seedling. Wtf?

    Looks like a meth plant to me...or possibly crack.

    When growing are there 5 day weeks or 7 day weeks

    Ditto. Michigan is a "right to grow" state - so you can demand a lot from your plants...

    Seven. But a month is always 30 days, so...

    How long can I top?

    Brief and to the point! Thanks!!

    How long can I top?

    10 days into 12/12 - and topping opportunities are still showing up. How deep into flowering is it safe to top? Picture of my beauties included (front right is one of the next generation, sharing some better light in the flowering tent until the light's about to go off)

    The ultimate Newbie question

    I took a couple of cuttings - are they salvageable? Thanks for sharing your knowledge...

    The ultimate Newbie question

    So much for "femilinized" I guess. Only 1 of 6 that lived. Trash it? I have 3 others from a different batch of seeds that are about 4 weeks behind this one (still vegging). Any guidance appreciated...

    The ultimate Newbie question

    Okay, I see "threads" and "balls" - but I'm also seeing pollen on leaves below these "buds". So...I have a boy, right?

    This seems too good to be true, but I just found an outlet for the HLD LED unit that came with my tent for $54.00 including shipping. I'm suspicious, but it's a Paypal-affiliated site, so I went ahead. Site is "https://www.mishaplay.com/". We shall see...

    I guess I'll buy & mount another LED unit in my "dark" closet, veg there and flower in the tent. Would like to end up with 2 plants to harvest every other month. Thanks for your idea!
