hi all, ive been reading up on growing indoors and planning my first grow.got my head wrapped around most of the process but there's a couple of things im still unsure of, so some questions are... #1. ventilation: i have a 6 inch can max fan for my 1mX1mX2m tent, i assume its not needed for small plants but when do i actually need to start running this? (this first grow will be running 600w led and cfl side lighting) i have other circulating fans as well and i understand air movement is a key factor just unsure when to run the larger fan. #2. watering and nutes (coco-perlite run 2 waste) : i have read a lot of people don't feed nutes until 2 or 3 weeks in, but others hav…

Hi Everyone, I would like to start a little growing journal as a very new hobby grower. found all of the different journals very helpful. Unfortunately I couldn't find enough beginners ones. I will share the evolution of my 2 ladies as well as mistakes and success ( hopefully ) I am not looking at investing in the best of the best, I know my set up is not the most ideal for the BIGGEST YELD but share this for beginner like me that don't have the budget nor time to be 100% dedicated to the plants and show what to expect. I am more than open to all of the tips and advices of all kind as I definitely don't entirely know what I am doing. Please this is not a thread …

Hello, I am new to this. I only started smoking a few months ago and have only consumed cannabis products on a handful of occasions. After casually chatting to my mother about trying it, etc I discovered that she is a user (the things ya learn). Anyhow, I had a friend who was supplying but he's moved away and apparently his supplier does not want to be known (fears of getting busted, etc). So I've decided to grow my own. I figure it will be a good way to get high quality marijuana (in terms of potency and safety). Also, I don't like the idea of supporting a criminal organization (not because of their 'illegal' 'drug' enterprise but because the funds are often used to su…

Is anyone else around here keen for a separate Organic forum? Personally I feel and know its the cleanest and most efficient and sustainable way of growing our favorite plant yet we don't have a forum specific to it. I'm not sure how many of you are on other MJ forums such as Grasscity and Rollitup but both of these have Organic forums that are more than active. And even still it gives others a place to put useful stickies and so forth. So I ask the moderators and users, please, we need to promote this healthy sustainable method of growing, so why not get its own forum going? Scraps

Omg! I'm so broke! So I had some mars lights and a hydro grow unit, and a tent. I had some nutrients, but not much and no $$ to get more. And a handful of feminised photo seeds and some auto seeds. But I'm broke so I can't even pay elect. Given all this, I decided to have a go. Week 1 - no nutrients, lights 16/8. Week 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 - full nutrients. Week 4 I got paranoid about light pollution so cut lights back to 12/12. Didn't change the nutrients for this 6weeks. Weeks 8, 9, 10 - changed nutes and left lights on 12/12. In week 8, one of my photos turned, so I pulled it. I hope it doesn't affect things too much. No fans or extractors, just 2 small windows.…

The other day i picked up a bag of reduced odor DL from woollies just for the hell of it, was it special.... I took a cup of RO water and dissolved 5 pellets, with the outcome being, 580ppm, 7.0ph. And fed to a couple in some party cups in canna terra soil, no negative outcome, yet, This doesent seem super hot(NPK wise) as its only a cup of water And DL is pretty light to start with, but im thinking of all the other bennies in it would be good to go? Thoughts anyone?

Hey - I'm sorry I haven't worked out how /where to post this question, so I've had to stick it here! OK...Has anyone used the alternative CO2 systems for a grow tent? I have two tents; 1.2 x 1.2. &. 1.95 x 1.95. I'm looking at the CO2 Pads, MyCO2 boxes, the bottles & their refills and whatever else. I'm trying to avoid having to do the old style gas canisters & regulators. Is it possible to use an alternative or are they not effective enough? I'd LOVE to hear about any experiences with them!!
