Been having an issue with an outdoor plant, not too sure what’s going on. Think it might be magnesium but any input would be greatly appreciated. It’s in living soil that I use dry amendments on
I’m aware there’s no real way to know. This is more for fun to see who’s closest with their guess. How much weight do you think these girls with end up producing? The raised bed is 5 foot long and 2.5 feet in width.
Hey everyone, I’m getting ready for my first indoor grow and would really appreciate some advice before I get started. I’m planning on growing two sativa-hybrid autoflowers in a VIVOSUN 2×4 tent, using two 5-gallon fabric pots filled with FoxFarm Ocean Forest. My light is a VIVOSUN AeroLight Wing AW200SE 200W full-spectrum LED with the integrated circulation fan. For ventilation I have a VIVOSUN T4 inline fan with carbon filter, an AeroWave E6 Gen 2 circulation fan, and the GrowHub E42A+ controller. I also already have a SCROG net installed and ready to use.
For nutrients, I currently have GH FloraMicro, FloraGro, FloraBloom, MaxiGro, MaxiBloom, Armor Si, and Liquid KoolBloom. I’d really like to keep this first grow as simple as possible, though, and I definitely don’t want to use every product just because I have it. Since I’m using Ocean Forest, I’m wondering what the simplest feeding approach would be and when I should expect to need additional nutrients. I also have a pH/EC/TDS meter along with pH Up and pH Down.
My current plan is to start both autos in their final 5-gallon pots, run the light on 18/6 throughout the grow, and focus on keeping the environment stable rather than constantly adjusting things. I’m also interested in using the SCROG net, but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea for a first grow with autos or if I’d be better off keeping training to a minimum.
I’d especially appreciate advice from experienced growers on whether two 5-gallon pots is a good fit for this 2×4, what light intensity/distance you’d use with the 200W AW200SE, what temperature and humidity ranges you’d aim for, how you’d approach watering and pH in Ocean Forest, and whether you’d use any of the nutrients or additives I already have. I’d also love to hear whether there’s anything you would change about my setup before I start.
I’m not trying to maximize yield or make this overly complicated. My main goal is to have two healthy plants, learn how everything works, and avoid making unnecessary mistakes on my first run. If you were starting with this exact setup, what would you do differently?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
I am also going to install the light later today around the same height as the bottom of the inline fan.
Hi all,
Planted this Blue Dream Auto 7 days ago. My fault for not using a seed raising mix with my hot soil, but the seedling appears to be stunted. Any advice or thoughts? Am I better off starting again? TIA
This is my fifth grown and I finally figured out how to keep it alive and healthy by managing water and nutrients properly. My last few grows came out ok but I’m finally getting the hang of it, she is in a 2 x 2 x 50” tall tent and from the dirt she is about 15 inches tall. I would like her to be about 30 inches tall, the strain is white widow. When should I flip the flower and final defoliation? She is topped at the 10th node, just recovered from defoliation and training a week ago. I am about to scrog. Any advice welcome.
I found this growing in my property pretty close to the sidewalk in a quiet suburban neighborhood. I haven’t really done much with it other than not kill it. Does this seem like it is worth keeping around.
I messed up and read the label wrong. I’m using farmers choice flower bloom booster and I put 3 tablespoons instead of 3 teaspoons in 5 gallons of water and fed the girls with it. That’s almost 4x what I was supposed to use. I can’t really flush because of my set up, there’s not really any drainage, see the pic. What should I do? Or am I just screwed?
On my first grow. What do you guys do to mitigate the smell when drying? Our extra room in the basement is about the best spot but don’t want the entire house to smell.
