    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    Update... Everything is looking good. I'm still having trouble with the environment. I can't keep the tent cool enough or low enough humidity to have CO2 stay in the tent for very long. So I am just circulating air for now. Any ideas on how to setup a tent in a room in a house with 600watts or...

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    It's about a cap full. It just seems like a lot compared to the buffer when I PH 8.3 to 6.5. It only takes like 6 drops of down.

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    The leaves are used to take in as much sun light as possible. When my plants were young they had all different sizes of fan leaves. Once they got 18 inches or so, all the leaves were pretty much uniform.

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    I have a couple different strains growing in a tent. The two I'm growing are going to get really tall so now that I'm in flower I moved the lights far enough to get all the plants direct light. I'm not seeing stretch in this case. I am seeing a lot of new buds though. During veg I kept the...

    Doh! Tap you say... I know it's 8.6 PH at last test but I have not tested the PPM.

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    Here are the nutes I'm using right now: Per gallon X Nutrients: 20ml Bloom 15ml Micro 8ml Bud Candy 5ml CaMg+ This gets me to ~1300 PPM. These nutes have buffers that takes my RO water to 5.5. If I was hydro, this would be great but I'm in soil. So my PH up bottle is getting used up for...

    Definatley start a journal here. I'd love to see how things go. It's great to learn and seeing something from the start is always nice.

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    I actually mix it up and put it in one gallon jugs with a cap. I mix it up really well just before I water. It makes it easy too. Each plant takes about 1/2 gallon so it's easy to measure. I'm getting really stoked about these girls. 8 or so more weeks and we'll have BUDS!!!!

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    Hi everyone! Well after three weeks of flower I have an update. I ran into an underwatering issue with one of them but I figured that one out and things are back on track. Still learning. :wall: Anyway, here are some new pics! Enjoy!

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    Thanks for the props! It certainly is my first time. I just found another mistake I was making too. It seems these girls have developed quite a root ball and were drinking much more than I thought. I noticed some curl on the leaves about 2 days after watering. I thought I had a deficiency but it...

    CO2 Pads "Green Pads" explained - DIY Project NOT with smelly yeast.

    I found a way to make sheets for the clone dome pretty easy so I'm posting those directions soon. I want to do a video. I'm very challenged to find a way to reliably produce enough, without creating too much pressure, for a tent. I'm not giving up though. :)

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    I agree 100%. I was trying for that so I topped the really stretched ones as best as I possibly could. I did raise the lights though and rearranged the plants so they fit better. There are 3 White Widow and 3 Super Silver Haze in there. It seems the WW come in different shapes and...

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    Thanks! I'm posting new pics tomorrow. Things have come a long way since the last ones. I'm mixing in a 5 gallon carboy. The plants are using more water now. I used to go 3 days between watering but in an attempt to not over water I used about 6 cups of water per plant. This only lasts 2 days...

    We are ready for flower. The nutes have been transitioning from veg to flower slowly. Plants are looking great, IMHO. Tell me what you think.

    CO2 Pads "Green Pads" explained - DIY Project NOT with smelly yeast.

    I just wanted to share a bit of research I did on the topic. The content in the pad has to be food safe to use. This means you have to be able to consume it. CO2 can be produced using sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. If you use powdered citric acid and baking soda with some moisture you can...

    I'm posting there right now. Thanks for the sugestion!

    My First Grow! I Have A Few Questions.

    Soil is in at 6.8 at the moment. I've seen it as high as 7.0 and as low as 6.5. I thing the soil is dialed in. Surely missing nutes though. ;)
