    Something I can be doing better?

    This line uses equal parts of micro grow and bloom throughout the grow. Ratios change along the way though.

    Something I can be doing better?

    I've used this nute lineup. I settled at 1/2 recommended dosage for best results. Also was doing 2 feeds to 1 water to runoff. Don't use anymore but got decent results. Also I tried their jungle juice line with similar results. The jj line is way cheaper and is sans ph perfect technology. I...

    will these girls make it ?

    I've seen that on previous grows of mine. Specifically the browning, crumbling, curling sugar leaves. I suspect mold. Bend some of those buds to expose back to the stem. White/Grey fuzz or fur is mold. Botrytis I think is the name. The fatter the bud, the more susceptible. I hope I'm wrong...

    Newbie needs advice

    They look 2-3 weeks out to me. Like you, I only need a couple hits of today's weed and I'm done. If you're the only consumer, consider taking 1 down per week and gauge the potency for yourself. The 1st close up pic looks like a candidate for early harvest (although diminished potency). My kids...

    Update: spoke with royal gold rep in CA about low ph of tupur. Said tuper should be 5.0-5.5 out of the bag. Recommended I sweeten with a couple tbsp/gal of dolomite lime which I did today. Found fungus already growing in the 2 gallons I amended with DE a couple days ago for my expected up-pot in...

    That happened to me too. In my case, even though my mix was Update: Did a 1:1 slurry test on the tupur royal gold (ala stealth grows) and found ph at 4.8. Amended enough for my 1st up-pot. Hopefully, amendments will raise ph some. Very little info online. Waiting on a callback from tupur.

    Hobo Grow Advice

    Some thoughts: temps and humidity will be troublesome without air exchange provisions. That space needs 16 cu ft of air replaced every 3-5 minutes. Lighting should be 100w full spectrum preferably dimmable. Perhaps consider cutting a passive intake opening in the lower rear and fashion some...

    Help me start my perpetual garden

    I built a spreadsheet to help me with timing grows. Just select 6,7,8,9,10 week harvest intervals, enter sprout date, and it returns dates to germinate next crop, flip current crop, and approximate harvest date. I prefer 6 week harvest intervals. It's based on 11 week flower times and actual...

    I have for the last few cycles. Kind of a pain but has worked well. Not keen on throwing money away. Starting fresh with this run though.

    Going forward with DE exclusively. It's been a mixed bag for awhile running some with DE and some with GH Flora. Great results with both but I've grown weary with the whole mixing scene. Dropped 2 beans this morning. An Acapulco Gold and a Mendo Breath Fruit Bowl in solos. Headed out this...

    What's this?

    This is an outdoor see what happens Strawberry Cheesecake auto grow. No pest management. Some leaves eaten by something, some moderate spider mite damage, some bud rot. Now, I'm seeing these white, pod-like structures suspended at the end of these hair-like stalks coming from leaves. Took...

    Suggestions for Lower THC strains...

    Shaman supposedly comes in around 11%. My pea brain even struggles to function with that. Still searching for ideal thc levels. Meanwhile just stopping after a couple tokes.

    Burn or deficiency

    Touchy subject but I'll jump in with my 0.02. Plain water to runoff at around the ph you've been using. Measure ph and ppm of runoff. Reply with results. The more one masters this art, the less needed for runoff measurement. I'm not a master, so I've used the runoff more than once to get some...

    How much longer should i veg?

    True about accuracy of testing runoff. However, imho, it can be a useful indication of conditions in the root zone. In my ph issue, I actually reached out to fox farms and they emailed me instructions for a 1:1 and a 5:1 soil slurry test with acceptable ph ranges to expect. Outside these ranges...

    How much longer should i veg?

    I'm guessing overwatered maybe? Or soil ph out of range perhaps. If you could get some saucers and elevators under them maybe sample some H2O runoff for ph and ppm. At least this would confirm or deny ph as the culprit. I found some happy frog in the low 4s ph in runoff awhile back nearly killed...

    How much longer should i veg?

    You could download the photone app and calibrate it to your specific light specs. It will get you close on PPFD and DLI. iOS requires a $6 payment to unlock the full spectrum mode. For Android it's already unlocked.

    How much longer should i veg?

    Agree with stonedhedge. For increased yield, id top at least once more and preferably twice. I usually do a minimum of three or 4 before flipping. Typically will result in 12-16 main tops and increases yield nicely. I prefer to allow the top site to gain some length before snipping for...

    First grow somehow they survived! Advice for next run.

    Oof, yep that looks pretty heavy on minerals. Couple of suggestions...#1‐pull the water quality info from the municipality. #2-I'd dip a ppm meter in there to get a baseline for starters. #3-If you have the ability to catch rainwater, that could help greatly. I started doing it awhile ago to...
