Starting another grow journal here, feel free to follow me, still lots of learning to be done. A lot has changed since my last grow. I got married, made a career change, and my state finally legalized cannabis! I'm very excited to get this new grow started. Already had a small accident, didn't...

I have an Auto Daiquiri Lime from Dutch Passion on day 50. I'm growing in a 5 gal DWC bucket with GH Trio, CM, and Armor si. She keeps growing but I'm not really seeing any sign of flowering. I have 3 other plants, all different strains and they all at least have pistils showing, one is already...

The plan is to have 4 quadlined auto plants in my tent this time around. On 12/28 I put 4 seeds into my germination station sometime in the late afternoon. Daiquiri Lime - Dutch Passion Blueberry - Seedsman Bloody Skunk - Expert Seeds Skunky Monkey - Heavyweight Seeds This morning I put a...

I've been having some issues with pH fluctuations/dropping pH. I did a res change on Wednesday, Thursday pH was 5.9, Friday 5.5, today 4.9. PPM read 880 when I changed the water, today it's reading 1020. Water level is down about a gal maybe a little more. The strain is Blue Cookies Auto...

I had already been researching/buying parts for my LED strip fixtures that will be lighting my 4x4 when I saw a post on the forum that piqued my interest. It was a PC case micro grow. CFLs, soil in a planter that fit inside the case. Due to my current LED project it sparked an idea, why not...

Strawberry Cheesecake Auto was 13 days old when I noticed the light green mark, day 14 marks are a patch of light green crispy leaf and the rest of the leaf is dark green and shiny and the plant is drooping. Blue Cookies Auto day 15 no marks plant looked like it wasnt as perky, today day 16...

Curious as the bud from my first grow cures, how long of a curing time do you find your buds taste to be best? I've read minimum of 2 weeks but I can assume that the difference in taste between curing for 2 weeks and 4 weeks is probably going to be substantial. So what do you see best for your...

Germination has begun for my second grow and this time I am growing all auto-flowering strains. The seeds I'm popping are.... Blow Dream (auto blue dream) from Victory Seeds Glueberry O.G. from Dutch Passion Strawberry Cheesecake from Seedsman Northern Lights from Seedsman (2) Blue Cookies from...

Im approx 52 days into flowering and one of my White Widow plants is showing signs of deficiency which I believe to be calcium. The leaves closer to the top look worse and now even a lot of the sugar leaves are starting to get discolored and rust spotted. I know I'm rather close to harvest so...

I've been using a carbon filter on my exhaust for my tent for about 3 months. While I was outside today, I noticed the smell was so inconspicuous. Is 3 months about how long the filters last?

Curious to see what everyone uses in there DWC grows. I have about a month or so to go in my first grow and I used GH Trio, Cal-Mag, Hydroguard during veg and then during flower I added Liquid Kool Bloom, FloraliciousPlus, and Botanicare sweet to the lineup. I tossed around the idea of using...

3 full weeks in 12/12, thought what I had been seeing was pH fluctuations but now I think not. I had been seeing faint uniformed marks in the middle of the leaf ribs which then would deteriorate holes in the leafs. Now some of the leaves just look like they're being eaten. Also I found 2 leaves...

Alright who uses glasses when they're working around their plants under those bright lights? I've been using my regular sunglasses which are a nice pair of Oakley's. They seem to work fine but the colors of the plants are skewed. ​​​​​​I looked on Amazon for grow room glasses and it...

I've been using the GH trio for my DWC grow and I was curious who has used/uses there other products like KoolBloom, Floralicious, Diamond Nectar, etc. What are your experiences with using them? Do you see a difference in your buds?

Sunday funday! Today is going to be the last day before I transition into flowering. They've been in veg for 6 weeks, all of the plants were topped and trained to have 6-8 mains (with the exception of the solo cup bucket). Today I'll do a water change, tonight I'll swap out the bulbs and change...
