Well Know members seem to agree. Simple is better. For an experiment, I bought a small bag of the Amazon dirt in the bag. The artwork looks like it belongs on a craft beer. Fungus gnats within a week. I'm starting to see spots on one leaf already. Why even bother?
I'm sticking with my A plus...
Amen. like "Never feed a sick plant" Find out the problem first. Plants get yellow leaves. It's not always the end of the world or even a problem sometimes. Learn about gardening.
Books like that. Also topics like Drying culinary herbs, drying flowers for potpourri and dry flower arranging. And most importantly any book on plant science. Soil science. Become a gardener and things will fall into place.
Clones sound like the way to go. Autos don't benefit much from using a net. Not even for practice like I thought I'd do. Cloning is not far in the future for me. I want a cultivar I can rely on.
New plan for next time - start 8 photoperiods and top them three times to make 8 tops on each...
Fixed all that this morning. We're about level. This is all unnecessary work. If the plants cooperated and weren't freaks, they would all be where they started. Four BB's a week after transplanting. One looks like too much light I'm short. The vines won't stop, even now they grow straight...
Busy day yesterday. Risky move, I pulled the Banner from the middle of the 5x5 from under the net. Followed the advice I got here. (That's the whole idea). That plant was not benefitting at all from being under the net. I trimmed her up and tied her down. I added temporary splints to spread...
I've been moving the plants around so much because they were getting out of control. I have that same meter and it gives me a pretty good idea where i'm at. I'm following each light manufacturers recommended heights and intensity. I adjusted the height a bit. The plants are freaks. Three...
Thanks, yea the plants all look healthy but here's the thing.
2 banners in the 4x4 photo on the left. Born on the same day. The one not flowering cannot be bent. Thick stalk and branches. Another Banner is just like the hoppy looking banana kush. I might start training those two to climb the...
I need to stretch out that net. The plants are 1/2 way through the grow. I topped my first auto, the three tops is where it happened, I might just top autos that like to take over the tent. Trying different things. Thanks for the feedback! read the long long thread. cool how things change...
I used fishing rod blanks and weaved them through the net in the 5x5. to strethch it out. I'll have to find some more. I probably don't need the net in the 4x4. the plants are too small to benifit from it. It does help spread the branches out. Here's from this morning. I tucked and trimmed a...
thanks. I thought 15 gal was a bit over kill. I'll stick with the 7 gal. I have my grow in now. The smaller, tangerine, I have a bunch of 3 and 5 gal pots to choose from. I have 3 mixed varieties (kinda mutants) In the 5x5 now. (I know. don't say it.) One looks and is growing like her...
My original goal was to grow a bunch of fast-growing autos to find out what cultivars I like best, and then get serious with photos. I'm already a gardener so it's just another new plant to me. I love how fast it responds to twists and turns around the net. I went through the very long thread...
Really only because I have them. Photos would be much better. I'm just screwing around trying to get some skills. I don't care about yields. Just killer buds. If I ordered some photo seeds. what and who would you go with please?
Watermelon Zkittles - 70 days Auto. Height 4 - 41/2 feet. 140 cm. Considering one plant in a 15-gallon pot of soil in a 5x5 tent. 8 bar style LED. Full coverage.
Tangerine Dream - 70 - 75 days Auto. Height, short. 2 feet. 65- 70 cm. Considering 4 or 5 plants in seven-gallon pots of soil...
This is great. keep em coming. We'll come up with a top 3 and the worst of all time later and then discuss. Let's keep voting until January 1st.
My wollastonite just delivered. Pottery supply was my source. Next grow. no bs.
Longest thread ever. Lots of well Know members doing this for a long time. I see what I'm doing wrong. A lot has changed since 2009. I see that Indica cultivars seem to work best for this technique. What's a good choice these days for a beginner? I want to grow one plant in a 5x5 and see...
Good info here. New to the scrog. Got some ideas about do's and don'ts. I think I don't (ed) a few times. Ooops oh well.
I noticed my arms were itchy when I was wrestling with the ladies. Allergic to the stuff?
