I've got 3 NL and switched to 12/12 78 days ago. That's 11 weeks. Giving 2 weeks or so to show preflowers I should be seeing the end of this grow soon. But this time I've noticed the buds have not fattened up like previous grows. I've always had the light too close and been too heavy on the nutes but this time I've played it safe and backed off both a little. My current ppm going in and out is 700 and my lights seem to be ok, no light burn. If I look at the buds themselves I can see they are not ready (trics all clear). The plants seem very leafy moreso than buds fattening up. I'm using H&G in all coco. Any suggestions as to what more I could be doing in the final cou…

I've just sprouted my first seed ever, yee haw! Going in a small DWC tent and I'll journal it soon. I think I might have left her in the dark too long. She looks awful tall under the first leaves. Should I bury her a little deeper, to avoid a tall spindly plant? Height is limiting factor for me and I'll be topping with LST.

Hi, as I received quite a few freebies from seedsman this year, I am just wondering if you can plant your cuttings straight outdoors and get them going, I was thinking maybe a seed raising or potting mix and maybe shadecloth over the top till the get up a bit? Don't have anything indoors and don't plan on it. Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated, thanks.

Considering 4 hempy Buckets under a 400w for my next grow. Not a fan of autos anymore but I have beans which seem a shame to waste. Growing 2 of each strain (bubblegum and WW max), one is advertised as a 65 till harvest and the other 80 till harvest. Add 2 weeks I guess to those figures. I've seen some 12 L square Buckets in bummings. I've normally heard 1 gal for each month of grow so they should be ok. I'm asking because I've always used fabric pots in the past so never had to worry about getting root bound so much. Is a 12L hempy bucket setup OK for 3 months of grow? Won't get root bound?

hi all. just found an interesting article on Oxine to treat your nute solution in hydroponic reservoir. very very interesting. Oxine Oxine is a multipurpose liquid disinfectant which is many times more powerful in eliminating micro organisms than common chlorine based materials or hydrogen peroxide. The beauty of this product is that it is a very powerful oxidiser yet it leaves no harmful by-products behind. When Oxine (a patented stabilised Sodium Chlorite solution) is activated with citric acid it forms a stock solution liquid which emits Chlorine Dioxide gas (ClO2) – a very powerful Oxidising agent. (Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) derived from Oxine is not to be co…

Title may seem a little odd, but my seedlings have nutrient burn which I'm sure is due to feeding it too much aloe vera. The fan leaves on the third node and below are dried up and the other fan leaves attatched to the 3 above are doing fine (6 total). I'm wondering If I could top the third node without any problems?

hi all. 2nd indoor grow and first time hydro doing an r-dwc bucket scrog. been looking to upgrade my chiller as the one i've been using over the cooler months isn't cutting the mustard with the warmer weather coming on... summer comes fast but even faster it seems when your growing hydroponically! research so far tells me that the Teco chillers although dear as phuk are the crack for both performance, reliability and power usage. I'm running about 50lts atm in an uninsulated res and can't keep the temps under 21 deg cel the last week or so and the leaves on the colas have been cupping and edges of leaves seem to be a little brittle. not sure what is causing …

So I've dived in and placed my order this morning for some white widow and northern lights from Yantra. Very excited, these will be my first "proper" seed, my first 2 grows were just some nice bush that I got. My question is how do you stop yourself from checking the fucken post box every 2 mins???

Hi all, was after some much needed advice. Been growing outside for the last 6 years, but the kids are growing up so I have decided to have a crack at hydro for stealth reasons. Was wondering if individuals experienced in hydro would be willing to suggest me a set up. My criteria is as follows: 1. Would like to keep the whole set up, nutrients, pots, growing medium, tent, lights etc. under $500 2. Happy just to grow 1 at a time (I'm a weekend warrior) 3. Grow space I have is about 1m x 1m x 1.6m 4. Want the set up and ongoing use to be as simple as possible (Was thinking hand watering with a run to waste set up). A mate has suggested the following: 1. Tent https:/…

I've just started my first grow and I'm very interested in hardcore training as I'm growing in a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2 metre tent and I want to maximise my yields. I did originally have 4 plants, and I was going to ScrOG them, but one of my seedlings died and I'm down to three plants, so I'm ditching the ScrOG for my first run. Now I've done research on training, and I'm pretty sure at the moment I might just top my plants and do some LST, but I'm interested in what other people do, how they do it, and why they do it. Give me some ideas and knowledge me up so I can maximise my yields! Thanks in advance [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I'm just gathering supplies for my first grow. I've got a 40x40cmx120cm tent, HLG V2 135 kit, and a Nutrifield 27L DWC Top Feed bucket with pumps etc. All on the way or already here. Also, got 3x Fem Northern Lights. NL was my first proper stone and sounds like a good small grow strain! My questions are three. First, if I build a SCROG net, what height should I make it? I've got 120cm total height. Subtracting 30cm for the pot and around 10cm for the LED panel, leaves around 80cm. I think I need to leave some room from the top of the plants to the panel to avoid light burn, right? 30cm? That would leave about 120 - 30 -10 -30 = 50cm for the plants. Short &…
