New To The Group

[piercer]

I’ve had a five decade relationship with weed as a consumer, but I’m very green as a grower. I’ve completed one indoor grow of Strawberry Cheesecake that was fairly successful, but the bud quality could have been a lot better. Yes, I’ve learned since joining this group I did make a couple critical mistakes during flowering. That won’t happen again!
My first grow was such an amazing experience that I had to buy a second tent and all the equipment so I can grow two at a time! In the one tent, a have a strain into its 5th week called Gazzurple and the other tent has a two week old seedling called Jelly Donutz.

Looking very good.

Are you growing autos?

[piercer]

Not yet, but I will be down the road. As I said, I've only completed one grow so far

Consuming is not very addictive, growing is a whole nother story
Welcome

Isn't that the truth! It all hit me once it came time to harvest my first grow. This plant had been a part of my life for the last 12 weeks, and I'm about to go Jeffery Dahmer on it. That's why I set up a second tent and staggering planting times 6 weeks apart. Now, I'll always have something growing

You ain't kidding! I grew indoors for 15+ years, small time, personal use and a couple friends. Got fairly good.
Then life changed, pandemic and F-all else.
Now I'm in an apartment and not a chance to do anything inside.
Then Maryland went legal!!!
Super fortunate that I live in apartments that allow a small garden. Grown vegetables and flowers the last few years and this year an MJ plant!
I didn't expect much, and the seed was supposedly from the dispensary.
Turned out to be bag seed, but it's female and the biggest plant I ever grew!
Since the beginning of August I've been obsessed with it, and hell with the vegetables.
Growing is (debatably ) more fun than getting high.

Sorry dunno how to link here.

I’m fairly new too and can say I’ve felt the same thing. Growing is more addictive than smoking it seems haha. I said when I started that I wasn’t chasing the “perfect grow” that is the biggest load of shit I’ve said recently. Fantastic hobby I’m in love with it. Welcome…this forum has the best answers and knowledge I’ve experienced by a mile. The rest are full of cock measuring bros. It’s very helpful here

During my first grow, I only used Grow Big in weeks 3-6 and Tiger Bloom during weeks 7-10. Now, Fox sells them packaged with Big Bloom, and this 3 pak comes recommended by many a grower. My question is how do I implement the Big Bloom into my feeding schedule? Is it used together with Tiger Bloom, or do I need an updated feeding schedule? I need a little advice.

Welcome to the group piercer. I use Fox Farm Trio as well and use Big Blume throughout my entire grow with every feeding. I alternate with watering. For example Water then Nutes, then water then Nutes. After week 4 I use full strength. Been doing this for 15 years.

[piercer]

What I’ve been doing is, once they start nutrients, I like every drop of their water to be spiked and I water everyday. As dumb as it might sound, my philosophy has been that giving plain water every other day is the equivalent of doing a mini flush, washing nutrients away from the plant. It’s a pain in the ass, but been using bottled water and I’ll mix up everything all at once, dumping in a gallon jug 4 weeks worth of nutrients, adding 4 20 oz bottles of water, mix and funnel back into the 4 water bottle. Then one at a time, I take one of the four, dump it back in my jug and add six bottles of water to that. Mix and pour back into the seven bottles I emptied and that’s my daily watering. I also write a two digit number on each bottle. For example, the bottle marked 34 means it’s for the third week, forth day of the week.
I know it’s a lot, but I’m trying to find out if making sure each watering/feeding exactly the same, will it show a difference at the end of the road. I told you it might sounds dumb, but obviously you kept reading! 😂

piercer, This is their schedule for soil. I start at 1/2 strength and go up from there. And welcome.

[Bowhunterwoody]

I just use the 3 products highlighted.

[piercer]

That’s the same three I have! Thanks for the chart! That should clear up a lot for me!

Hdk40 we are drug manufacturing stoned people on a presumably anonymous website. The cock measuring still gets lied about. It's a given. But we are generally respectful and throw necessary flags.
If you have not seen pictures of our founders, NebulaHaze is a petite, neon green wigged woman who always has a stylish mani. Were this place fronted by SiriusFourside and a bearded biker chick with greasy fingernails, the cock measuring would be a lot more overt. Nebula keeps us modest.
