    What do you consider day 1 of flowering ?

    I can't even get a good answer on what day 1 of veg is. I count from the moment they break the surface, but others count it as when the first true leaves open. Still others count it when the 3rd set of leaves come in (which I suppose makes sense as that's when it officially passes the seedling...

    LED v/s HPS ? LED experts please weigh in

    If you get the same real wattage, then you'll do better with LEDs (depending of course on spectrum, efficacy, etc.). Gotta watch out for LEDs though, when they say, "replaces a 1000W HPS!" and its actual wattage is 150W, realize they're full of shit. I expect my two Mars Hydro TSW 2000 to do...

    I need more N but...

    So I need to add Nitrogen to my DWC bucket. I'm using GH Trio. My problem is that the Floramicro is the only one that contains a good amount of N but everything I read says it must be added BEFORE the other nutes. Can I add more to an already mixed solution or will this cause problems?

    Give me your opinion on how my first grow is going

    Appreciate it. You're right I've been slowly upping the ppm to see if the greens would deepen. I did a light foliar spray at less than a quarter strength solution and they really took well to it, leaves looked happy 2 hours later. I'll up it and see how we do.

    Outdoor odor control with a greenhouse

    None that I would consider effective either in practice or cost. You'll probably be a couple weeks into flowering before the smell is intense enough to justify it. Which means you will only have to run it for 4-6 weeks probably.

    Correct lighting? Help.

    So, here are the PPFD maps of your light at different heights. Each square represents 5". For vegetative, you want 400-600. For Flowering, you want 500-900. Your seedlings will be happy with 200-400. The high end for each of these ranges is best, the low end would be your minimum for decent...

    Outdoor odor control with a greenhouse

    If the greenhouse is relatively airtight, it should work fine. Obvious cant be completely airtight because it has to cycle the air, but a fan and carbon filter would trap most of the odors. Enough to keep you under the radar anyway.

    why do my seedlings look like this??

    Meh, give it time. I've had a couple come up weird looking but as long as the leaves look healthy, give em a chance to develop.

    Warren or Harris for VP?

    Warren was my first choice for the nomination. She would be a better VP. That being said, I believe Harris is the best choice for victory (unfortunately) .

    first grow

    Cannabis is pretty hardy. If you're able to use filtered water and ph it down to 6-6.5 and give it some good light, you'll get some good results.

    Correct lighting? Help.

    Yes, absolutely. Only real issue is gone be that you'll have to get those lights probably 10" from the plants which could cause a heat problem, even with weak LEDs.

    Did I do this right?

    The stuff you added probably prevented nute burn as MG comes fertilized. Your only real mistake was ripping the roots, you're lucky shes still chugging along. Just remember to not overwater and keep giving it 5-7 hours of direct light per day and 12 hours at least of light all together. Anything...

    Should I add more N?

    This one broke ground 12 days ago and growth seems to be moving along quickly now. She is in a 5 gal DWC bucket and I'm using GH Trio at about 50% strength. She is a light shade of green but I can't tell if it's because of so much new growth of if I should add more nutes. She also got her first...

    Newbie journal tips appreciated

    A swamp cooler is the cheapest way to cool it down a few degrees. Just take a bucket, fill it with water and throw a damp rag over the side (half on the outside, half on the inside, submerged). Then put a fan blowing on the rag. A humidifier also helps if its dry in the room.

    Double check on ILGM or Royal Queen Seeds or something. I've read a ton, but not too too much on pruning.

    Newbie journal tips appreciated

    Well, if you're gonna prune, I'm told you shouldnt after the first week of flower so if youre gonna do it, I would consider doing it soon. Either way, you can always make concentrates out of the popcorn buds.

    Yea, you wouldnt wanna go too crazy. I'm definitely not the best source for pruning tips though. I'm on my first grow now and will be ScrOGging.

    Very nice. I think conventional wisdom would say to prune some of the leaves blocking light to your lower nodes.
