    Led grown - plants too bushy - defoliating

    Yeah, they totally bounce back so fast you can almost watch it happen. I've not been doing this a long time at all, but I was super nervous my first time. now I just get in there with scissors and start yanking big leaves, knowing that they'll all be back tomorrow. GREAT looking plants you have...

    A+ on the grow so far...and A++ on the view! get a loupe. It’s the only way you’re going to be able to tell. They’re like $6.

    1st Grow. How much Yield can i expect if i flower now.

    ...they're just messing with you. The standard joke is "About a pound" If you put the into flower now, I'd expect far less than .5oz each. Those plants are pretty small, and don't have many nodes. For reference: I pulled about 3.5oz from each of these plants. They were about 18" tall.

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Alright gang...here's the total, and a few learnings. 7d dry, and I'm at 7.1oz of bud, and 1.5oz of trim. I put all the little popcorn buds in the trim can as well. I'll use this to make butter next week when my molds arrive. I expect I'll lose a little more weight as it cures, but for right...

    First time grow entering flowering stage too early?

    If he's growing in tubs right now, he's obviously looking for a stealth grow. Setting up a tent may not be feasible. Those tubs aren't the cheap ones, and he bought two and chopped them up. I don't think the cost of a tent is the issue here.

    Hey first time grow ,lemon haze just wondering if uts true that day 55 id oerfect for harvest? Also when to flush i use coir soil

    Yeah, I'm NO expert, but it looks like you still have a lot of white pistils. You're likely 4-5 weeks from chopping I think. It's really easy to chop too early, and really hard to chop too late. Give it more time. You've come this far, and you'll regret chopping it too early.

    First time grow entering flowering stage too early?

    Well done! How much height do you have inside the stack of tubs? Flipping to flower is going to make that plant stretch like hell. Imagine it will stay the same width, but 2X or 3X in height in the 2 weeks following your flipping to 12/12. Well met thus far. Can't wait to see how it all ends up!

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Ok...7d later and it's time to jar these bad boys. I checked the stems this morning. They snap, but still remain connected. the buds are a little crunchy on the outside, but still soft in the middle. From what I've read, this is what I'm looking for, so all clear. I'm a little concerned about...

    Day 4 curing, Hay Smell

    Hijacking a bit to get @Renfro 's advice... (Edit: or @FastFreddi ) I chopped 7d ago. I wouldn't say it smells like hay, but just different....maybe it is hay. When. get close and smell the bud, it smells like the dank diesel I was expecting. I'm jarring this morning. Spent the last 7d drying...

    Second Grow - Garage tent setup advice

    Absolutely nothing with the lights or tent. I started small to get my feet wet and figure some tings out. Check the link in my sig to see my setup now. Looking back: I'd have bought a Cloudline T4 instead of the Vivosun vent fan. (I ended up buying one later to upgrade, so the vivosun was a...

    Hey first time grow ,lemon haze just wondering if uts true that day 55 id oerfect for harvest? Also when to flush i use coir soil

    There's no set "number of days" on any strain ever. You chop typically when the tricombs are milky and 10-20% amber. You'll need a loupe or digital microscope to see them up close to be sure. From the looks of that pic, you're about 4-5 weeks away. Better pics would help.

    Crazy things while germinating seed

    Looks like you're finally on your way then! Once it's above ground, you're off to the races. I alway just put the seed in a paper towel, fold it 2-3 times, dampen the towel (not overly wet)...put it in a ziplock and place it on top of the tent. I come back 2-days later and I'm looking at a 1cm...

    Second Grow - Garage tent setup advice

    I started with that same setup. (tent and light) I think 4 autos in there would fill it up nicely...without being too much. All depends on the strain though. 5 gal pots will cover the entire footprint of the tent. This is what it'll look like... (Old pic, but you get the idea. Looking back...

    Can you use only half of a 4x8 tent?

    I'm only using 1/2 of my 4X8 right now. No separator or anything. I have a light on the other side, but it's not turned on right now. It will be later this week when I move a few new plants in there. You just won't get the benefit of reflective light off the open side, but you should be fine.

    What can i do for my first set up in a 10'by12'..4500 limit

    Honestly, start with a 3X3 tent. Send me a PM and I'll give you a good shopping list to get you started. Grow 2-3 plants in that...gain a lot of knowledge...and then you can upgrade to a bigger tent after you get a feel for what you want to do. You can use the 3X3 for drying down the line, so it...

    are these plants yay or nay? 2nd grow in my life

    Agree. I posted this 5min ago in another thread, as it was told to me by someone here: It's easy to harvest too early, and hard to harvest too late.

    Harvest or not to harvest

    I was told it's easy to harvest too soon, and hard to harvest too late.
