Week 4 DWC update, chasing a calcium deficiency
Running a 4-plant DWC recirculating system in my 4x4 right now, week 4 of veg on some Zkittlez. Plants are sitting at 1.8 EC (roughly 900 ppm on the 500 scale), pH held at 5.9,…
Stop buying bottled nutes, mix your own for pennies
Been mixing my own base nutrients from raw salts for about three years now and i genuinely cannot go back to bottles. The math is just too embarrassing. A 2.5 gallon jug of a…
Was upgrading your light actually worth the money?
After two years under a cheap blurple from Amazon, I finally caved and got a mid-range quantum board. The difference in my last run was pretty noticeable, tighter nodes, better…
Anyone made the jump from DWC to RDWC?
Running a 4x4 with four 5-gallon buckets right now, DWC, and it's been solid. But managing four separate reservoirs is getting tedious, especially when i'm dialing in nutrients…
Week 5 yellowing, N def or just fading?
Running a soil grow, week 5 of flower, and i'm seeing lower and mid-canopy fan leaves going yellow and dropping. pH is dialed at 6.4 runoff, feeding a full NPK profile with my…
Ran 6 Papaya Punch beans, one pheno is stupid loud
Popped 6 Papaya Punch seeds this run specifically for a pheno hunt and honestly the spread was wild. Four of them came out pretty standard, tropical with a light mango thing…
Was upgrading your light actually worth the money?
Picked up a decent mid-range LED about two years ago and it's done fine. But i keep seeing guys on here talk about their fancy quantum boards and how everything changed for them.…
perpetual rotation update, week whatever it is now
just chopped the Dwarf Low Flyer last night and man she came in heavier than expected for how short she ran. 38 days from sprout to chop basically, little beast. dry weight still…
What are you putting in the ground this year
Trying to get a read on what people are actually running outdoors this season, not just what the seed sites are pushing. I went with Zamal and a Malawi I got from a trader in…
Late flower humidity targets that actually matter
Once you hit week 6 of flower outdoors, your margin for error on humidity gets razor thin. I shoot for 45-50% RH during the day and I get nervous any time it climbs past 55% at…
one plant trained wide beats two plants crowded
running a 2x2 for a couple years now and the biggest mistake i made early on was trying to squeeze two plants in there. more plants means more canopy, more canopy means more…
What are you actually putting in the ground this year?
Curious what people are running outdoor this season. Not the hype, not what the catalog says. What you actually planted and why you picked it for your specific situation. Running…
Curing method poll: jars vs grove bags, what are you using?
Been curing in mason jars for years and i thought i had it dialed in. 62% boveda, burp twice a day for the first week, done. But a few guys in my garden club swear by grove bags…
add a little kelp meal when you brew your tea
Been throwing a tablespoon of kelp meal into my compost tea brews lately and the difference in soil life activity is pretty noticeable. The natural cytokinins in kelp seem to…
Week 4 DWC update, running into some clawing
Running a 4-bucket DWC setup in a 4x4, currently day 28 from flip. Strain is Gorilla Glue Auto, been in the tent since late October. Lights are a 600w HPS paired with a 200w…
one plant trained right beats three untrained every time
running a 2x2 closet for a while now and the biggest lesson was plant count. less plants means less smell surface area, easier to manage the canopy, and way better airflow around…
Add a handful of worm castings to your compost tea
Been doing this for a few runs now and it genuinely changed how my soil feels between waterings. One cup of quality worm castings, a tablespoon of unsulfured molasses, and a…
Late flower mold control: the numbers that actually matter
We're getting into the window where bud rot can take a whole plant in 48 hours out here in the PNW. I've lost harvests to it and I've also learned to stop it cold. The difference…
Week 6 scrog update, net finally filling in
Dropped the screen at about 10 inches above the canopy six weeks ago and i've been running four plants under a 3x3 net. Started with two topped plants on each side and let the…
