List three things you learned from last grow.

Second grow in harvest mode.

Even in a small tent supplemental lighting might be a solution to fluffy buds, the other three plants crowded out the forth one. Showed nice buds on top but below that were candidates for hash bucket.

When you raise and lower lights make sure your humidity and temp sensor are in a proper place. I keep it in center of growth. When I lowered light after first trim I chased high humidity issues.

When putting praying mantis nymphs in the tent during late flower stage they don't last due to lower humidity and they dry out staring at lights. I will try again in vegetative stage.

Avoid company's which names start with a V
 
It was an outdoor grow
  • high humidity+bud = no bueno
  • neem oil is better than pesticides; BUT during flower, only as a last resort on buds.
  • Rocks in bottom 2" with holes around bucket base works great in plastic 5 gal for run off. I drilled 3 rows 1/4" holes

Nothing wrong with bleach........Tell that to a healthy plant that shriveled up and died in 3 days because the bleach burned the roots

Well of course if you pour straight bleach on your plant it will die :wall:. But using it to clean your Chaplin won't hurt the plant as long as you rinse it out.
 
Stop growing freebie white label seeds, stick to high end, quality breeders. Seeds are cheap anyway.

Only grow in the summer if I have a koolatron or cannatrol setup.

Try to find strains with minimal leaves.
 
After upgrading my light 3 times. Best to buy the biggest and highest wattage light that you can afford and fit into your tent, FIRST.

It's a weed, Stop messing with it. It will grow.

Don't use Coco starter plugs from Amazon. The mesh bag isn't big enough for all the expansion when they get wet and will kill your baby.
 
Box fans and low rh below 45 can dehydrate fat colas that otherwise molded. Also solved the powdery mildew problem.

Prune and defol. You hear it all the time but the difference in the same pheno as clones is night and day. So is the yield. It doubles. The quality buds are amazing and fat fat fat! All bud. Used to be 1/3 tiny buds and the rest larf literally omg.

Its true when they say new strains may not get along with your other phenos. Some say they treat all plants the same no issues. It was ok for me until now.
 
1) have scrog/cola supports ready before you need them, coming in to broken/laying down branches is scary!
2)defoliate more. I did moderate pruning of lower branches, and should've removed many more branches that barely reached canopy. All that energy could've gone into fattening of major buds.
3) if you lengthen veg, 1 plant can fill a 3x3 tent., or shorter veg so multiple plants dont get so big.
 
1. LEDs can cause white pistils to continue to form on apex buds close to the light, even after the plant is ready to be harvested.
2.Pay more attention to aroma and worry less about trichome appearance at harvest time
3.Don't chase strains, chase breeders! Even when the outcome is not exactly what you hoped for, it often exceeds what you imagined!
