    Recurring and frustrating issue

    This is my 3rd grow using coast of Maine stonington soil. I add about 25% extra perlite and nothing else at time of planting. Tap water only for the first few weeks. First two runs were with a marshydro ts1000. Current (third) run is with a marshydro FC3000 evo. Both DLI adjusted with photone...

    This temp / RH or that temp / RH

    I chopped 7 autoflowers yesterday and am now in the drying stage. Preciously I had my tents inside where I could hold fairly steady temp / RH of 68* and 60ish RH. Now I’m drying in a detached garage / shop. Insulated and warmed with space heaters. Im currently at 62* and 52ish RH. Running two...

    Upgrade options from Mars Hydro TSL2000

    Going to be moving my 2x4 tent setup to our detached garage once the current grow is finished. Was contemplating replacing my TSL2000 with either the mars hydro sp3000, hlg 350 Diablo, hlg 320 rspec FR or ??? Is upgrading going to be worth it? I mainly grow autoflowers currently.

    Managing loss of power

    We’ve been without power for 24hours. I’ve got 4 plants that are in their last week / 2 weeks of flower. Got a generator running that is powering tent fans, exhaust fans, lights and a dehumidifier. I initially had the lights (led) on at half power but had to turn them off because of heat...

    What the pH is the deal…?!?

    This may be a silly and most definitely repetitive topic but my head is spinning b/c of pH readings and subsequent questions. I’m on my second grow and am hyper observant / analytical and I want to learn / understand vs just ‘know’. Growing in Coast of Maine soil with added perlite plus a solo...

    Is she hungry or ??

    Mephisto 3BOG that is 31 days since sprout. Coast of Main Stonington blend soil in 5 gallon fabric pot. This started about a week ago and has slowly gotten worse. I amended with coast of main stonington blend plant food (5-2-4) five days ago at 2/3 strength (scratched into soil and watered)...

    First harvest now learning how to dry

    Chopped all 8 of my autos today and hung them to start drying. These are 11.5 weeks and some were more ready than others but I didn’t want to deal with a partial harvest and also ready to start a new grow, learning from my mistakes (nuclear charging my layered soil medium and too low ph based on...

    Next auto run - decisions…decisions.

    My current and first run ’should’ be done in a couple of weeks so I’m chomping at the bit for starting the next one! I will be running mephisto genetics and have a 2.3x2.3 and 4x2 tent. Should I run 1 plant in the smaller tent in a 5g fabric pot and 2 plants in 5g pots in the larger tent OR 2...

    In the window or wait?

    I have a couple autoflowers in solo cups that are getting close. Going out of town in a week and it would be way easier to harvest these vs having to give them water daily. Some amber trichomes but they are on sugar leaves. Thoughts? Some would say ‘who cares, it’s only a small amount of...

    Deficiency or nitrogen toxicity or what?

    8 weeks from sprout and I’m lost as to what to do here. These are autos grown in fabric pots a layered soil bottom third FFOF plus perlite, myco, EWC and Dr earth and top 2/3 is FFHF plus perlite. Three are in 3g and three in 5g pots. My issues started around week 5 and has progressively gotten...

    First grow - who knows what happens

    For whatever reason I got the itch to grow some weeds. I don’t smoke much at all these days but was a regular back in high school and college. I think part of the allure is how freaking amazing these plants are and unlike almost anything else. I do quite a bit of veggie gardening (onions...

    This may be a stupid question / observation

    First time grower here aside from the high school guerrilla grow at the beach… I‘m currently growing 8 autos - 3 in 3 gallon fabric pots, 3 in 5 gallon fabric pots and 2 in solo cups (these were extras during germ and just kept them going). One 2.3’x2.3’ and one 4x2 tent. Mars hydro ts1000 in...

    Can I still LST without stressing them too much?

    These are 21 days from sprout. I was out of town over Easter and had my in-laws watching them (yes, they appear to be slightly overwatered so I’ll let them dry out). After coming home it looks like some are showing their sex. Can I still LST or top some without stunting them? Three will...
