    Seedling Problems!

    Can't see the pics but would guess from set up its heat stress causing your issues. How far is the light above tops? 4 ft hopefully. Use cfls or T5 for seedlings and save the electricity $$ and your girls.

    That's how I grow now. Two 5 gal buckets with 2 strains in a 3x3 tent with a 400 hps.Consideration's are the size difference between 2 strains and I solve that by scroging or use risers under buckets to keep canopy's the same height.Keeping tabs on two different res situations is more work but...

    beginner needs help..Please..!!

    First put holes in bottom of cup. Then tape up cup so light does not hit roots and third you need more light. Two more of those bulbs will be ok and three would be killer. Also might want some air on them to help build stem. Good luck and enjoy.

    Seedling isnt opening

    I've had it happen myself and I used a double edge thin razor blade and VERY CAREFULLY get it between the cots and slightly twist and pop them open. I found the seed has some film which glues them together. I'm sure this will be an unpopular remedy but it worked for me and I'm still enjoying the...

    Want to go dwc but not sure

    Do it. I just switched to dwc 11 days ago and will never go black. How much is the bubble boy and does it come with a pump. Build your own bucket with a better pump and air stones and it will still be cheaper but better components. Also consider advance nutrients ph perfect nutes (2 or 3 part)...

    RH is only 33%

    Yo C/O. 33% will work ok. Yes it's being sucked out to quickly. If you can,slow down your exhaust and it will let that moist air build up in the tent and raise the RH.

    Amber vs Cloudy,Milky

    Try a sample off lower small bud. Grind it up and set it out on a paper plate and it will dry in a few hours. Disregard smell and taste but high will be there. If you like then chop. If you wait longer the more couchlock it gets.

    First watering question

    Ocean forest will kill your seedlings. It's has to many nutrients in it. Use happy frog or light warrior if possible if not cut the crap out of it with perlite to dilute nutrients. Killed several before being learning myself. Now use light warrior with no problems. Put soil in a larger bucket...

    Lighting rig

    I use 7 outlet power strips screwed to top and sides of 2x1x30 cabinet and use the plug in sockets. Then depending on where lighting is needed I use them straight or with Y adapters to get fill in. Works well and has lots of adjustability. Good luck and enjoy.

    Am I missing anything?

    Rethink the clamp lights. I tried it And they take up so much room it was tough with one plant. They are a pain in the ass to move and all the cords blow. Consider power strips on the ceiling or top back and use the sockets that have the plugs and plug into light strip with y fitting and you...

Environment where growing? CFL's- are watts actuall or equivalent? Light mounting/arrangement? Fan...

    Nooo! CFL's fell on my clone, it's all droopy on the top now!

    I think you'll be ok. You sort of super cropped it accidentally. If you ever do break a stem you can mend with a piece of duck tape wrapped around the break. It will heal itself in a couple days. Good luck and enjoy.

    Setup

    I bought a 24x12x36 oak unfinished kitchen cabinet at lowes for 50 bucks an it's great for small complete grow or as a veg/clone box. I use two 120mm speed controlled computer fans for intake and exhaust and a 4" desk fan for circulation. I put a 3 light vanity strip (8$ lowes) in the cabinet...

    Veg and Flowering same place?

    Absolutely. Veg in cabinet for 4-6 weeks then just switch bulbs and change timer from 18-6/24-0 to 12/12 for flower. That's how 90% of us do it. What type of light are you going to use?
