I regret to inform you that my grow has ceased operation due to reasons beyond my control. Admin please remove this thread. Thank you, & take care :peace:

It dawned on me as I thought about removing the glass, that my setup needs the hood to be airtight, since it's inline with my ventilation. I scrub & vent the air and cool the bulb with the same flow. Best possible use of the upper tent space. I'll make due. Best thing to clean hood glass with...

Well, some sad news, Sue the largest plant turned out to be male. The nodules ended up being pre-flowers, and the bananas started to show up. Big ol' balls. So, out of the tent it swiftly went. Oh well, it was always meant to be an experiment plant. I got some great experience with LST. When I...

Yeah I really underestimated how easy it is to keep this tent cool. I may remove the glass and see how it goes. -AK on left, NL on right. Both 15 days from seed. -I'm wondering how much longer I can veg the big bagseed lady. Shes showing roots through the bottom of her 3-gallon home. 42...

Temp at canopy clocks in at 78-81F, in direct light. Hood stays 8-10" above canopy. The fans are doing a great job blowing heat away between plants & light under the already air-cooled hood. I've heard glass covers can absorb.. Or reflect.. Or otherwise diminish the HID lumen output.. So I'm...

pH of my tap comes in just under 7, latest run-off just above 5. I think I overfed at first & shes flushing. I can't underestimate Ocean Forest. I'm noticing shades of yellow, so maybe she's ready for some food on the next water. Nute Question: What is the deal with Big Bloom? Meaning, I...

Sue - Veg Day 41 I took this mid-day through the light cycle. She has been looking a bit droopy all day, but was watered about 18 hours prior. I've been careful to not over-water, waiting until it dries out. But I'm concerned her drainage is very poor because when I water, the run-off is way...

1/25/2015 SO I think we have a problem. I was examining Sue (Day 40 from seed), and I noticed some strange-looking objects: My first impression? Male pre-flowers (balls) :whoa: Which is weird because I've already spotted pistils in a couple other areas.

Thanks for the feedback, people! Sue (Veg Day 39) Seems happy. Every couple days some ties need tightened to keep things level. Good amount of tops, not too congested, breathing okay. In case you can't tell, pictured below is the path of the main stem over time, keeping an even, low plane...

- Sue (unk. Sativa) Veg Day 36 - Growth is steady, but her (burn or deficiency) seems to be worsening/spreading. I've stopped all nutes since I noticed it, just plain pH'd water. The pH of the water going in is 7, BUT her runoff pH came in at 5. Should I be removing the leaves when they...

Hey so this is my 2nd grow, first journal.. but it's been like 5 years so it might as well be my first grow. I at least know the basics of seed-to-harvest... My first grow was lower tech and messy. I hope to improve my results this time around. This is not a commercial grow, personal use only...

I'm surprised the smell factor has not come up in this thread. Say there's an outage, and you've got several plants in full flower. Your carbon scrubber hasn't been scrubbing and venting for hours now. Let's say you're in an apartment setting.. prepare to stink up the building baby! That part is...

Hey, how has the windshield cover material worked for your room? I'm using it also at the moment.. Any issues like hotspots? Still using it? :peace:
