I count from the first sign of pistils, usually around 10 days after 12/12 for me. But the number of days is not the sole factor to determine your harvest date. The plant should look 'done' (pistils receeding, calyx swollen, some foxtailing, trichs cloudy). Can you monitor the condition of your...

Plants look good & healthy! How far along are you into flowering? how many days? Buds look good, but maybe a little small w/400W HPS. I think you got a couple weeks to go. You are ripening all the time! No need to flush (add 3x pot volume w/just water) with organic grows. If you think you...

Yes, I would recommend you consider using an 'established' receipe. I started with Sincerly420's soil https://www.rollitup.org/organics/580027-organic-growing-made-easy-fox.html. Subcool has a popular receipe as well. Sounds like you already have a number of right ingredients! You may want...

Couple of yield stats I've used: Grams per Watt (g/W): total yield/total wattage of lights. for example, I have a 400W HPS, and my harvest was 400g buds. I produced 400g/400W or 1 g/W. Grams per square foot (g/ft2) or per square meter (g/m2): total yield/grow footprint (floor area)...

DankSwag'n it! good stuff! Yes, I leave a little head room in the jars. Got to get the RH meter in, and the buds out. I store ~ 1oz/jar. You may want to consider mason jars. I tried reuse jars, but could not get ALL the odor out, and did not get a seal I liked. I am now looking into vacuum...

well done - always good to have weed! what does that work out to in grams/Watt? g/ft2? I track a number of metrics on my small grow, just for kicks. I ran 4 plants once in my cab, still got 100/plant but better total yield. But my space was too crowded, and I didn't enjoy gardening as much...

Let us know if you go this route. Someone had a post earlier that had a 'modular scrog' w/a screen for each 5 gal pot. I thought this looked like an interesting idea. I run 2-3 plants in a cab under one screen, and it can be a bitch to pull a plant/pot...

Good idea w/the supersoil. May be faster & cheaper for you to buy pre-amended soil. Even if they advertise it as 'ready to go', I like to get it in the pots/get it wet & active. An SST enzyme tea (or compost tea) might be a good way to jumpstart the process. I don't see a disadvantage to...

Your call on the water. I use tap & let it sit for few days. I use DI water for humidification & clones. You may not be helping your grow with this approach, and could be hurting. You may need some cal/mg later for your grow. I got a similar issue - not enough soil ready for next grow! I...

I have not used Roots, but I still think it may be tough to finish w/5-gal base soil + teas. Where possible, add some goodies to your soil & get it cooking. Use this soil when you transplant. You may need to feed heavy, and could finish well. Is your local water OK? Are you trying to add...

what size container? why are you using distilled water? and bubbling it? Tough to guess how you are going to do in the future. A lot will depend on genetics, environment, etc. But I think you may struggle to finish as is. I have grown in less than ideal soil, and it was hard to supply all the...

Lot of progress - looks good!

nice & healthy plants !

Not bad. keeps me in smoke. No pics, but no real secret to grow. 3-gal smart pots, 400W HPS. 2-4 plants, 4-way LST method, scrog. Yield numbers are very subjective, but a common metric for indoor grows is g/Watt. A good goal is 1 g/W. One poster said 'look to get 0.5 g/W, be happy, and look...

Interesting article on kelp tea - I am going to give this a try http://buildasoil.com/blogs/news/11759569-diy-instant-kelp-meal-tea-coots-hydrated-kelp-meal-trick

I got a 2x3 area, scrog 2-3 plants, and get ~100g cured bud/plant

bubble hash for the block, please. can be lower yield, but I like the end result better. Plus, you can get some variety with the different pulls & different bags.

I read the same thing. There is a v3 based on malt. Sounds like it works, but some were going back to the seeds (v2) because they saw a better response. I have made some v2 teas & had good results.

Plants look healthy ! Any additives? or are you just growing with your SS and tap water??
