Hiya. I am new to growing and to this forum. I have spent a ton of time reading posts. You guys really have your s**t together.
I am attempting a first grow. I am using an old phototron unit and tring to use some of the methods I have read about here. Just trying to get my first batch under my belt and learn from the experience.
I am growing in the spaghnum moss that comes with a phototron germination kit. I started out using phototron nutients as well. After reading here I decided to give the fox farm nutes a try.
I am also using a phototron feed-a-tron for watering purposes. ALthough I have read numerous references to phototrons and their limitations here, I didn't see any mentions of the feed-a-tron for watering. Anyone ever use this and have any feedback?
My plants have been in 12-12 light mode now for 60 days. They have been given Beastie Bloom and Cha Ching. My buds are ok, but not fantastic. Probably due to the phototron lighting and lack of a mh light. The hairs on many of the buds have turned brown, but I still have many buds where the hairs are still 100% white. I read Widow Maker's great growing guide and want to be sure I don't wait too long to harvest. Unfortunately this was bag seed so I don't know what strain I have. Is it safe to assume that buds getting the least light will be slow to have their hairs turn brown?
My biggest concern at the moment is the fact that the plants have stopped using much water. When I started the flowering process they were using close to a gallon a day. Now at day 60 of flowering, they are using almost no water, most of the shade leaves have yellowed and then browned. I don't know if this is normal or is caused by nute lock or something else.
Sorry, don't have pix at the moment. I will try and take a couple of the buds and post them.
Like I said, this is my first grow after finding this forum. I intend to build a grow room, but as a beginner want to experiment with what I have first.
Any feedback on the watering issue and also using the feed-a-tron would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks to everyone who spends time here helping everyone else out. THis is an awesome forum and I wish I had found it a long time ago!
