Fellas, ive been on here reading for weeks now and i wanted to let you know how much i appreciate you people who take your time to help others.

I know what its like after being a member of several hvac forums for years.

Im new to growing , the only advantage i have is the heating-cooling-humidity concerns will not exist for me.

Grow wise im old enough to know i know nothing, so,,it looks like im going to have a blast learning new things.

If anyone has any cooling questions on equipment or maintenance , pm me, i really dont follow threads and my add prevents me from remembering anything , im kinda an idiot savant , i just havent figured out the savant part yet.

Hey TooChronicforSonic. Have you found a solution to your heat issues? You might consider putting you exhaust fan on your ceiling or in your attic to vent out your attic. This would also pull air in from your door. I am guessing that air is cooler than attic air. I live in the desert of Ca. My attic gets hot hot. About 2 months ago I fixed a water pipe in my attic area via a hole in my laundry room ceiling. I left the hole open thinking hot air rises. As it does but now when my ac turn on it actually pulls hot ass air down out of my attic into my house. You may have some sort of reverse air pressure issues like I think I do at the moment. I would think your exhaust fan is possibly puling air down from your attic into your closet space. Good luck!

Hello hello Riak Hommi. Its some what hard to tell by the pictures except for pic 1. To me pic 1 looks like hermie. Why Jason Vorhees it? Which I had to Google by the way. I like the expression. I just gave the Jason Vorhees treatment to a auto cheese candy this morning. Because it was done today though. So yea, why chop it? I find hermies are good for preserving genetics. I do believe plants or strains are specific to the phenos but I still like to have the genetics saved even if its seeds with different dominate genes. I am about to start a experiment with a male Goji OG. I am going to clone it and try to hermie it so it gets some female flowers and pollinates itself. I then want to grow out those seeds to see how they are. This could be a cool trick for preserving genetics of a line when you only have a male. It should be interesting.

Hi,

New to this forum, really like the threads, specially those with pictures! Thanks for the help ppl!

I can't seem to be able to upload a picture - tried small size like less than a Mb but still it says invalid file. I use the manage attachments popup.
It would be so much easier to ask questions if i could post pictures too!

Also, when I click on my profile picture (blank at the mo), I don't get any option to change it...What am i doing wrong?!
Any idea anyone?

Thanks!

J.

Ive heard its a pretty hardy plant this shit has been known to grow outdoors in finland! Im in England obvs.... im not lazy its just due to it location the less times I can potentially be seen the better for obvious reasons

Hello I'm trying to figure out this forum thingy. I have a question. I live in the pacific northwest. The soil is a rich clay based type. Should I mix some potting soil in? It drains well despite the clay. I've seen cannabis grow in hard so. cal dirt so I think it'll be fine but thought I'd ask. I'm planting AK48 if that matters.

Wassup hows it goin in here. New to the site, thought id make a profile since Im starting my first grow. I decided to jump straight into hydro for my first time. Going wit a DWC i've read and done some research and when done right the budds yield and potancy is very high. So Im very excited.............................

Wassup hows it going sounds like your exactly where im at with my grow. Im juss waiting on my seeds to be shipped. Picking up Nirvanas northern light autos.

Ive learned alot over the past couple days of surfing the web all night for my new hobby. So what i know now is that with autos the lights should be on a 18/6 hour schedule. This is through out the entire grow. some say that 24/0 is better since they can use all the light they can since harvest time is so short. Keep in mind though that these living plants need a rest time to gather energy and properly displace the nutrients.

Since this is first time getting into it i cant help much on knowing if that 600 watt hps is enough for all five. i would definitely recommened trying to put up a cheap homemade reflector tent. That is what im planning on setting up. Im imagining maybe a couple PVC pipes glue and a reflective tarp. Just until i can afford a real nice one. Ohh by the way im going to be running a 1000 watt hps bulb in a air cooled hood with a nice digital ballast.

As for food im reading around that less is bette,r cause in the end if you use alot of nutrients it can cause chemical build up in the budds. In the end flowering stages though its a must to flush the plant with regular clean water in order to get the best natural budd possible. i would probably recommend a three part grow,micro,bloom nutrient feed.

Since this is a DWC our plants will be receiving oxygenated water 24/7. With that said n our roots are going to be absorbing everything. Nutrients will help it a lot in making the grow and yields more bountiful. Just remember that less is better. At least until you get the hang of it.

Most importantly don't feed your autos until the 2nd grow week. Its juss safer becasue you dont know how the young seedling will handle the plant food. Im going to try and keep the nutrients at about half of what the bottle says juss to be safe. You should switch the food from grow food to bloom food at around the 4th week of growing. Or when you start to si the inner nodes forming.

So yea i hope it goes well with your grow id like to know how it goes.

PS try to stay away from sugary foods for the plants as the air stone may get clogged .

Hey RIU! Ive been lurking around for a while here. I Actualy had a dif prof a long time ago but forgot ALL of my info lol. Truth be known i usualy frequent a dif site but only because it functions well on my phone, via tapatalk. The down side of this being the site is in the UK! Ive had a bit of a learning curve on here and for some reason the photo's dont load, but i'll figure it out.

I hopped on to do a write up for some very good customer service recently recieved but noticed it said STRANGER under my name. Surely this would look like spam so i chose not to. So for now....

Hello! Ive been growing for a couple years now. Small time to some of you but i enjoy it. I currently have 8 in veg and 8 in flower.
All in home built RDWC systems.

Thanks I mixed a little f farms ocean whatever in about 50/50 I guess. The seedling just broke through the top of the soil today. A little late of a start but I'm not trying to break any yield records.......Yet.

I find that the amount of water used in a feeding can depend on
the soil, the size of the plant, and other factors.

I like to let mine dry out, but have never gone a month IIRC.

7-10 days at the most usually.
