New to growing

I see your using fox farm's too nuggs. Must be good stuff.

Nice temp gage that will help u out a lot! Lol RH is better higher when they are young but will grow good at even lower RH as well as seedlings and veg RH isn't a big deal (yes try to keep in range) but not a big deal till flowering in flowering u want roughly 40RH the higher RH can cause bud rot witch means ur buds are garbage. Higher tempatures lower RH and vise versa. I hope ur havein fun so far lol its a really nice hobby to have and watch em grow and produce awesome crops. Also really try to stay in that temp range or u can stress ur plants to much and might kill em

[Guest]

I was gonna try and get the fan an duct work put in this weekend so I can see what the temp will run. I should be able to control it using the fan. I've got the light height issue figured out already. Just gotta get home to work on it some more. My seeds just shipped, so I'm assuming I won't see them for 2-3 weeks yet. Give me time to get pH stuff and nutes as well as see how the tent is going to heat or cool.

Cool keep an eye out for my post I'm also just growing one plant my kids just think I have clothes in my tent lol. I'm using same soil and nutrients less is more as far as nutrients I will post my progress soon I'm going on my third week of flowering and I have only used nutes once it's been growing for almost 3 months now.

Hey nuggs why did u wait so long to add nutes? I started useing nutes on like week 2. I use foxfarm trio. Are u growing autos or photos? My autos responded well to the nutes on week 2. All strains are different tho.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

the plants will grow with no nutes but the nutes are like a booster.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

I can't wait to see ur grow and progress

I waited that long this time because, first I start with a solo cup, then I transplanted to a 3 gallon pot, and now it's in its final home which is a 5 gallon pot. Every time I transplanted I used new soil which I believe has what my plant needs for the first 4 weeks then after that you need nutrients because the plant has used up all the nutrients the soil has. Also because my plant didn't show any signs of deficiency. I try to copy the way Nebula Haze grows and she says to only add nutes if plant show deficiencies. This is only my second grow the first time I only vegged for 1 month this time 2 months and like I said I didn't need nutes until the second month and I believe it was because the way I transplanted the 1 st time I used nutes after 4 weeks because I only transplanted once so the nutes in my soil where already used up by then I went from solo cup to 3 gallon pot. I'm growing feminized photo from Nirvana northern light. It supposed to be good for beginners and it really doesn't smell a lot like marijuana so I went for it because I don't use carbon filter. Soon I will post pics of how my plant looks right now.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Oh ok that makes sence than photos dnt mind being transplanted but in my exsperince autoflowers HATE being transplanted and if it doesn't kill em it really slows there growth down. that's a gd way to save on nutes lol and it's a nice way to grow photos

So here is my girl. 150 watt hps. Not sure if you can read the comments on the pics but I made that table so I won't have to pull my plant in and out to water it that way I water in the tent then I just pull the tray out from the bottom and throw away the run off also prevents my plant from sitting in run off water completely. It a lot easier and clean plus the plant gets heavy after watering.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

That's an awesome set up nuggs plants look nice

[Guest]

I like the setup nuggs. Plant looks good too

[Guest]

I fixed the height issue of the light. Pretty close to the exhaust though, which I hear is good to reduce heat.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Awesome! That light spectrum is gunna produce some awesome buds as well as long as u have 1 inch above ur light to the tent u have enough air clearence looks awesome!

[bobsakamoto]

let's get to what's important...favre or rodgers? in all seriousness, nice setup, best of luck on your grow!

[Guest]

Bobsakamoto, I grew up in the Farve Era. I did enjoy watching him play his career in Green Bay. I lost respect for him when he went to the Vikings, but I have let that rest. Rogers I personally think know is the better QB. Who's your NFL team? I love football and weed so much.

[bobsakamoto]

i too grew up in the favre era. i actually liked watching him play before i even really got all that in to football. such joy.

DUDE, could not BELIEVE he went to the vikes....and i'm a casual fan of him and the pack...can only imagine how that went down in GB!!!

'Aints all the way lol.....esp '09....god, that was so wonderful and will never happen again.

from a purely spectator point of view i also enjoy watching the browns browns all over themselves EVERY YEAR. and sometimes it's fun to see jerrah spin his 'coahboahs are still 'merica's team, byah gawd' while being caught w/pics of strippers BS....

[Guest]

So I ran just the light last night ( don't have my duct work yet) I got the temp up to 88 and the humidity down to 20% in an hour. How low of a humidity level should you have? I know at the beginning the like some humidity. I've been told humidity will cause bud rot so I'm assuming as low as possible once growing.

[tyler_ hobbyist]

High humidity is only bad in flowering and u will notice leaves produce RH but the fan/ air curculation will take care of that for u. I will post a RH chart for ya it's only optium RH if it's lower it's fine I grow at 30-40RH my whole grow because of were I live, and I'm to cheap to spend 200 bucks on a humidifyer where I'm from lol

I grow autos in the same type of set-up and it's really easy, if you don't get bogged down with information overload.

place the carbon filter/fan outside the tent- and dial down your fan- its way over powered (I use about 100cfm)
place your LED about 1 ft down from the top.
Use Roots Organic Original potting soil.
Plant 1 auto seed in a 2-3 gal STANDARD NURSERY POT.
Light schedule @ 20/4
water- pH adjust to 6 - if way out of range.


the seed will sprout and be at the correct distance from the LED- it will grow into the light, and you will not have to adjust it until it flowers @ 4 weeks.
Roots organic ORIGINAL-will provide nutrients and any plant can be grown without adding more- I have used this for sativa/indica and autos- just watering.
DO NOT OVER WATER
Once you have a successful grow, then consider adding bloom nutrients or amending the soil in future grows
