    Couple grows in, help with identifying issue.

    I tested it right out of the box, calibrated per instructions with proper solution ( I have done it with 4,10 and 7 ph solutions) and tested again and it was still in the 5s. I have done that multiple times over a couple years. I think I have some Ph strips I could use as a general comparison...

    Couple grows in, help with identifying issue.

    Thanks all! My run off was in the 6s a couple weeks ago but I will check it again on next watering. Water is from a well, I have a Hanna Ph meter I am using. Check it straight out of the tap, add ph up, check again and then water / test run off. After the first couple grows the numbers were...

    Couple grows in, help with identifying issue.

    Hey all, I have a couple grows under my belt now but starting to notice a trend. My younger leaves (at time of flip to 12/12) end up spotty and yellow about a month into flower. I can continue on but those leaves are pretty crusty come harvest time. I am using a standard FFOF mix, water is at...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Day 119 (62 flower) She is nice and ripe... Less white hairs forming and the trichs are looking cloudy. Probably let her ripen a little longer, mostly because it's a busy week. Couple more days until sample time :weed: on to the pics Sample bud, hanging for 3 days now, super sparkly...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Thanks! At the max brightness they are hot but you can still hold your hand on the heat sink. At the lower levels they were just barely warm to the touch. I am ~7F higher than ambient in the tent right now running full power so still not bad compared to other lights. Also these are driven a...

    LED comparison

    could not see the cob link but I would go cob over blurple any day of the week. Can check my grow (in week 9 of flower) in a similar space using a 300w 4cob kit from Timber. Can not complain at all, used it the entire grow and very happy with the results for my first time.

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Humidifier came in this week so I have it running in the area with the tent. Only been in there about a day now and seems to be keeping a good high 40%rh in there (low 20s right now otherwise) so that is good enough for me. Went ahead and plucked a decent size nugget off the top for sampling...

    Smart pots need more watering - more nutes? Worth it?

    Only on my first grow but I used a 7 gal smartpot. I water 1 gal every other day and it seems happy. (can go 2 days without issue although you can see she is thirsty.) I will have to wait to see what the roots look like to confirm if it was too big or not. I will say that if I stick my finger...

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    Can check my grow (in week 9 of flower now) Using a 4 cob timber kit (300w) from seedling. Definitely recommend them. Building a frame is easy if you want to save a bit more cash. When I was pricing them out it was not much more for their kits than buying all the individual parts and all...

    Question about double harvest (newb)

    Thanks! Think I just needed someone to confirm before I get the scissors in there. I love a big bud but I want them to be potent above size :P

    Trichomes & Harvesting

    Thanks! I still see a lot of clear stems in there, so letting it go. The girl likes a sleep aid so if it goes a bit longer I don't think there will be any complaints :P Also thanks for the second harvest info, trying to figure out how to pull it off. It's an older sony digital. I have a...

    Pictures of your DIY lights - Post your pics!!!

    The knob came with the Timber kit but I printed the holder so I am not sure exactly. I can try to check if there are any markings on it but timber would know for sure.

    Question about double harvest (newb)

    Hello all. I am on my first grow and want to try a double harvest. My bush is dense (lol) and the lower buds are nice and frosty but I would like them to plump up and mature a bit if possible. Also my main buds are all pretty fat and long and I am not sure where I would cut them for a double...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Day 112(55 Flower) Almost 8 whole weeks of flower down.. Looking at the very tops they are getting about ready, still a few clears a bit further down in the buds. Maybe one more week before I pluck a few of the top ones. Really need to get my harvest time game stepped up. I have jars and...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Got a tip that it could be an issue caused by PH. I watered about 1.5 gallons at 6.7 and measured the run off (after a calibration) and it is about 5.7. Will put a bit more PH up in the water the next few feedings. Ironically enough my well water has seemed to come up a couple points in Ph...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    Day 108 (51 Flower) Not sure what to do about this. Have some lightening and spotting at the end of some of the lower leaves. In week 8 of flower now, should I feed it at this point? Harvest will start pretty soon but I would like to have a double harvest and leave some of the lower stuff to...

    A note to noob's

    On my first grow, I used FFOF, worm castings and perlite for my soil. I have only fed a handfull of times with fox farm big bloom and tiger bloom a few weeks into flower. I went with feeding only if I saw some problems (the color was very light green in my case) Plant is very happy. Thanks...

    Newb 1st Grow ( Nirvana Blackberry : Soil : 300w LED : 3x3 tent )

    It is just a digital camera with a conversion lens on it. They are only about 60 bucks. http://www.raynox.co.jp/english/dcr/dcr250/indexdcr250eg.htm I am using a 200mm zoom for the really close ups but you can get a decent look at them with a smaller zoom. I can take a pic with my 55mm for...
