Somebody likes my little garden

I have a small tent on the 2nd story of my home so I have never worried about insects or infestations. Today when I opened the flap this creature was staring back at me enjoying the light. Should I leave it in there? It looked happy and maybe even a bit stoned but there isn't anything for it to eat in there. It can get out if it wants to for a possible snack on a spider or fly in one of the nearby windows.

It's not guna hurt nothing ....if he's in there everyday and stays ....you may want to investigate a little further on why.......the color of your leafs are crazy ....almost looks like you need to add some cal/mag ....light leafs with dark veins are an early indicator .....it could also be the lighting in your pic .....sorry I know I'm suppose to look at the lizard .....but. Were mostly all growers here. So I'm guna notice things like that ..lol.....GL

lizzards can be weird, had a small one on my bedroom roof for two months. No idea what it ate.

I have lots around the house here in the country....blue belly's, when I water my grass it makes the Beatles run across the sidewalk ....which then makes this one little lizard that lives by my front door, run out and snag em off the sidewalk......it's like he knows when the sprinkler comes on it's dinner time ...lol

When I was a kid I found our cat out on the driveway with a lizard biting onto her nose. It was quite funny.

Lizard's are cool with me. They eat bugs and other sheet you would WMD anyway.

I took one inside once when I had a fly problem, he had it sorted after a few days.

I trained a dog to hunt them when I was younger, was a fuxin gazillion of them outside.

lol! Thanks for taking the time to answer. Yep, I am responsible for the bright green leaves alright... :-?

I enhanced the colors on the photo, brought out the subtle tones. I guess that's not a good idea if I am posting for plant problems. :mrgreen:

I use a CAP flood and drain hydro and I have been dialed in with a GH nute formula. I'm sure I could do better but plants look good and plenty of sticky buds. This is more like what the look like, the lighter green leaves are younger. Notice no burnt leaf ends either. The plants are 34 days old. They have already been topped down to the 2nd node and I switched them to 12/12 4 days ago.

I agree the plant is showing the first sign of magnesium deficit or lockout. I'd water them using a 16th tsp Epsom salts in a gallon of water.

MuckyDucky · Jun 21, 2017

Magnesium Deficiency? Ridiculous! My leaves are perfect. 0 yellow, 0 brown or dying, 0 burnt leaf tips.

How the fuck did something that big get into a sealed tent?thats the important question I feel isn't being asked or am I missing something?

I leave a few inches of the bottom tent zipper unzipped for ample airflow and to keep my exaust fan from straining and sucking in the tent.

Ever think of popping some ducting through the bottom holes with a filter over them? I've got three on mine and I run my 440 CFM full blast no problem.

I made light trap from a 90 degree angle duct once but leaving the bottom zip open a little was easier. Why would you put a filter on your intakes?

Keep out dust, bugs and lizards.

Bugs can always be a problem. It only take one pregnant one and you can have an infestation.. I have been lucky tho. I checked out your first grow. It looks like a veteran grow to me. Great job! I wish I would have known about hempy when I first started. I had some awful failures, bubble buckets that filled up with slime and slow growing sick plants in cheap potting mix.

Yeah ive noticed like one piece of perlite with a little green on it on the males I culled nothing to warrant using peroxide to rectify. I'm digging the simplicity and hydro like results. I only grew those plants 4 weeks from seed before flipping and the largest is about 30 inches.

I think he meant fan

redeyedfrog · Jun 21, 2017

When I was in a tent I used smalll fans on intake and exhaust, just flipped the exhaust so it sucked air out and maximised airflow? Worked really well and also helped dissipate the stink a bit.
My first try was with 2 different size fans and ended up with neg pressure lol

The first things I got when I first started growing was a tent, mh light and a big fan that wanted to suck the side in my puny tent. I recently left the zipper open on the bottom and a lizard crawled in. He said I should have used a filter on the lower part of the tent. I asked him why should I bother. He said bugs. I said I'm not worried about bugs. They will come in on your clothes anyway if you're not careful.

Greetings, I run an intake filter for dust filtration more than anything. In tent, HEPA and ionizer. Gets dirty in there without it.
