Welcome New Members!

Hey all,

I guess I'll start with a little history on my growing: I got some seeds off Herbies like 2 years ago and wasted the best of them on a haphazard CFL grow I rigged up on the cheap that did not put out enough light, ended up with a measly 14 dry grams hah. Learned my lesson and decided that if I did it again I would do it right.

So, I just sank my tax return into a tent and a nice Mars Hydro 400W LED light and had some seeds left over from that Herbies purchase. Only one germinated but it was the feminised Power Flower seed so I'm happy with that. It's been going great for about 3 weeks now, but I've just noticed some weirdness with some of the leaves. The edges are turning up slightly and I'm noticing the colour is a little light in the centre of the leaves towards the top of the plant. I can't seem to find anything that matches this in lists of symptoms so I'm not sure if it's something to worry about but I'd though it best to ask the people in the know and be safe.
Attached a picture, hopefully someone can help

I see nothing wrong. Your main stem and fan leave peptols are beautiful. The leaf blades themselves look very good, the plant does the frilled edge thing when it's trying to aleviate itself of excess heat or moisture. Lower temps or reduce the raye of watering. Plants root systems have to have a dry period. Other than that, your doing good!

Awesome, thanks for the tip. It's starting to warm up in my neck of the woods, I'll have to set up a swamp cooler in the tent.

Cheers!

How do you start a thread? Or a post?

Hi all I'm Jay. Just popped in to say hello, etc. just joined tonight, from the UK.
I often get diverted through google searches here, so I thought I'd join.

My first proper grow, I have messed about in the past in a closet etc. so have some experience,
but first time with a tent and soil less etc. I'll put some pics up tomorrow.

My main concern is at the moment I'm worrying if they'r too short. I had my problems around week 5 during the light changeover.
I'm using feminised northern lights. 5 in one tent and 5 in another. both under 600w sodium dual spec bulb.
they'r ranging from 14 inches to 2ft ish, they'r strong and bushy and in good health (barring some dodgy leaves and colouring due to past lock up or calmag issue)

I'm using canna coco and A/B with either monsterbloom 0 50 30 or headmaster superior ptash 0 14 22. and at moment am around 3rd week of flower and now pistils are showing on inter nodes on all of them. and good amount of leads and flower sites.

I was running to waste, and not removing waste for a short while, and wondered if that was the reason for various knock on problems resulting in my nute/clamag problem. Im at about 8th or 9th week from dry seed.

temps 18c - 28c (maxes at 30 now and again)
hum 40% 60% (sometimes maxes at 70%)

So all in all I think they'r doing okay now, but am wondering will I yield low or can the lil buggers pull it back?.

I was under feeding for a while too I think. at the mo they'r having 20m A/B and teaspoon of bloom 1700 ppm u.s.

Im going to get a good ec meter sick of conflicting issue with hanah etc. Hope you can picture my circumstance untill I upload some pics tomorrow. thanks folks

Hey All! New to forums, old grower... have more then two decades under my belt. Michigan caregiver , all organic no till natural farming.

I joined for same reason... but folks gonna dive on you man!!! is that 1700ppm your feeding? oooh those temps? humidity too high man? its great I love it!!!

Canna Coco A/B is the nuts mate, but go easy on the bloom as canna coco has a good deal of mono potassium phosphate in the base already, maybe why their boosts aren't based on MKP? Anyway it'll be nice to see how it rolls out for you chap... 1700ppm cheeeez!

yes, 1700 ppm, but there is different conversion scales and its a nuisance. but had a mate here a while back and he put my feed to 1400 ppm, theyr a little bigger since then, so figured a little more feed, came out at 1700. I think thats about 1.7 ec. Ill try using half od spoon of bloom additive on next feeds. thank you

Hello. Me and the wife are first time growers and are about 4 weeks in. We have no aspirations with this round as we are new and figured this is a trial round just to get our feet wet. I am not a complete noob though as my dad has been growing since the late 70s and I have picked up things here and there from him. His ideas are a little on the old fashion side though and my needs are a little different. I cant run an HPS system like him nor can I afford one so we decided to go with a low budget CFL grow. Just got some bag seed, a couple of light fixtures with 4, 26 watt (100watt equivalent) bulbs, some 3 gallon smart bags, hand mixed soil with perilite, vermiculite, peat moss and some potting soil, and distilled water. I have already had problems as the first soil I got was real dense (no additives like perilite) and drained poorly causing an out break of fungus gnats. Switched to smart pots, and transplanted with new mixed soil, treated plants and now fungus gnats no more. I figured the double transplant (solo cup to plastic pot with poor drainage, and again to the smart pots with better soil) and infestation set me back a little, but plants seem healthy throughout the process though I probably stunted the growth a little. I consider myself lucky. I resisted feeding nuets until the last transplant ( 5 days ago) and gave 1/4 strength "Big Bloom". Have two that look great and one goof ball that has some irregular growing patterns but seems to be pulling through. I only plan on keeping one maybe two depending on sex of course. Plants are 4 weeks old and I have already topped one at the 4th node and cloned the top just to see if I understood the process and to keep it on par height wise with the other strong contender. The plan is to try different methods of training including low stress, super cropping and hopefully if not this round the next with a small scrog (again this is the experiment/learning round with few expectations except to gain knowledge and experience). I will be adding an additional 2 more bulbs to the set up at least and will switch to 300watt equivalent 2700k bulbs for flower. My grow area is 28inx48in wide with 50in height clearance from floor to highest possible light position (bottom of lights). I have lined the walls with white PVC panda plastic for reflection. I monitor the PH of the soil, and the temperature and humidity of the closet at the plant canopy being careful to stay within 50-65% humidity and 70-85 degrees temp. I have them on 18/6 light schedule. My plants are now at around 7-8 inches tall and are not stretching but rather are bushy with lots of new growth around the plants (especially on the one I topped). We keep a journal and I notate everything going in the soil, including water and nuets, and any notable changes. We watch videos and read forums everyday (we are in our 30s and have plenty of time to burn). I know I am being paranoid but I would rather err on the side of caution. Anyways sorry about writing a book for an introduction. Thanks in advance for any dumb questions I may ask or any other annoying behaviors.

any tips, hints or advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi all, im new here.

Has anyone heard of White Rhino

Im Dan and have just started my first one, never had any hands on experience but have seen a few so not clueless lol
Im doing Northern light auto from royal queen seeds under leds. Im doing this to help someone suffering from cancer, i do smoke also but i have a bigger agenda
I have just sprouted seeds in root riot and have just transplanted into my rdwc system, and boy am i excited already lol
I am using,

1.2m secret jardin dr tent
26l 4 pot rdwc system
ET100 air pump with 6" air disc in each pot with just a golf ball in head pot
Rhino pro filter with rvk125a fan and acoustic ducting
Nurtidip tri meter
2x 480w Marshydro 2 switchable leds
SMSCOM all in one 2l controller
Helina submersible pump

I am using ro water as i have the best due to job, and i reckon its better to start with pure water and only add what you want and the following

Superthrive
Greenhouse seeds grow powder feed
Greenhouse seeds short flower powder feed
Greenhouse seeds calcium additive

Being my first one i want to keep it simple as possible with nuits and thought greenhouse had the simplest and obviously they have a good name.

Im sure ill be asking lots of questions as still sooooo much to learn but if anyone has any good pointers for this strain it would be great

I would get Northern Lights Auto and keep on 18/6 or a feminised NL and tie it down a bit after some topping! Easy to grow, low smell and half decent yield from small plants.... plus the kids can always smoke it

I prefer fems but someone with more experience in autos may be able to advise you better?

I find bag seed a right good challenge so will be interested to see how it goes, good luck!

...them baggies always fucking hermie and shit at the slightest fuck up imo?

i believed that too, but not so much anylonger. some of my best finds have come from bag seed. often they arrive not from hermaphroditism but a cross pollination of something nearby. Oh and Clarksville, welcome

I'm in U.S.A How long will it stay in veg state? It does not look like it is getting any bigger! I'm giving it 1 gallon of water every 3 days now and Miracle Grow every 6 days. Do I need to trim off anything or just leave it? Thanks for all the Help! Hoog.

The right name is Miracle No.
