    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    I decided to do one plant, and not the other. One of them had 100% milky tricombs, and the other still had some clear on the lower bud sites. Ok....that was an ordeal. I had no idea what I was in for. Trimming is a much bigger PITA than I thought it would be. I decided I'm going to do a "wet...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Welp....that settles it then. Gives me something fun to do today! Time to start reading about the best procedure for chopping.

    $2000 Budget - (Stimulus Check) - 1st Time Grower

    Hey there! We have similar stories. I'm not a user at all (recovering alchoholic/addict) but my fiancé has Crohn's and the only thing that worked for her was weed. So I started growing about 3mos ago when I got sick of paying $600oz from the local dispensary. (yes...it's that much here!) I...

    Drip feed coco?

    I bought this one to water my plants when I was out of town. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079Q1HR9V/ It worked like a champ, and I'm considering using it all the time for the same reasons you state. I set it to water for 30sec every 8h while I was out of town for 2 days last month. I'd...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    So, after looking at these against other pics here, I don't think waiting another 4-5 days is going to kill me. Maybe I'll start just using pH'd water for the next few waterings with a lot of run-off and then put them in the dark for 24h on Saturday. Chop on Mon or Tues. Thoughts?

    Best lighting for 3×3 tent

    @coreywebster and I keep replying with the same answers. lol... The TSW2000 worked really well for my 3X3. I think that's the size it's rated to flower. The TSW3000 may be overkill. You can get it, and dial it back to 75% with the potentiometers, but I think you'll be fine with the 2000. Also...

    4x4x7 grow tent

    Get a 6" and you won't regret it. The price difference isn't all that much, and you'll be happier in the long run. IF you get the Cloudline T6, it has a built-in heat controller and it'll keep the tent wherever you set it. Also: Get the TSW3000. It'll flower a 4X4 quite well. (I think it's...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Just went down there ant took some pics. Here's how things are looking...I'll let you be the judge. I'm still new at this, so it's all a guess until I do it a few times. All taken from the lower/bottom bud sites. (Sorry for the fuzzy-ash pics. Holding a 500X microscope still enough to snap a pic...

    2x2 Grow - Mars Hydro TSW2000 - Home Made DWC

    I have mine at three different heights. The one on the far right is for the seedling/early veg part, then the middle is about 24" above the plants, and then all the way to the left is at 18" over the late flower girls. Sine taking this pic, I've actually replaced one of the TSW2000s with a...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    The air coming out of my drying tent is a constant 72-deg, so I ordered another 10' of dryer hose and was going to run it over the top of the boards. I did an experiment with one of them (it is as far as the existing hose will reach) and it's keeping the TSW3000 a lot cooler. Actually dropped...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    So, looking at my tric pics, would you say I'm at 100% cloudy? That's kinda what I'm thinking right now looking at those pics. It's true, I'm doing this for medical purposes. Although, she never minds getting high too! I was planning on taking a look next Monday, and if it looked right...

    2x2 Grow - Mars Hydro TSW2000 - Home Made DWC

    FYI: I have my TSW2000 at 100%, but up really high. I found those potentiometers a PITA to mess with, so I'm mostly just adjusting height right now. I got a LUX meter, and can dial it in with height. The amount of heat won't really change based off of the % you have the light at. Great...

    First time grower, looking forward to learning and growing

    What is your medium? Soil? Coco? It makes a difference. Rule of thumb: No nutes for the first week...depending on your medium. Some have nutes built in, and you don't want to make the medium too hot.

    2x2 Tent Setup for a Light User

    I've been involved with online forums since they were called a BBS 20y ago. I've found RIU to be full of some of the most helpful people I could imagine. You're in good company here. Good luck!

    Is she ready for flower?

    I'm growing Autos, and I don't know anything about how big you want your plants to get, but that plant looks too small to put into flower, unless you're going for small plants. For reference, most people wait until they are about this big before putting them into flower:

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    Just an update on this, in case anyone is listening... I've started two Blueberry Autos, and two White Widow autos. I'm feeding one of each the GH 3-part (plants on the right), and one of each the Chicken Soup (plants on the left). Going to see which one ends up better. So far, the Chicken Soup...

    Inline fan and carbon filter

    After a month, mine sounded like it was full of gravel. I wasn't even running it all that often.

    White Widow, First Grow

    Looks like you're doing the best you can with training them. Don't stress about it too much. They'll fill back in pithing a 304 day period and you'll see some good results. Those leaves look REALLY dark. My WW are just seedlings, so I can't tell if it's the strain or not just yet. Just an...

    Suggestions for Carbon Filter for new grow cabinet

    Most that I've seen go with "Method 1" but your space, that will be a problem. So I'd suggest "Method #2". The filter doesn't HAVE to be at the top of the cabinet. There'll be room at the bottom under the canopy, next to a pot. I can't find the article right now, but I read something about that...
