This new hobby of yours is chocked full of stuff to learn. I have the same sort of lust for knowledge, dumbass me chose a hydro style that some say is one of the most difficult ways to do it... I found that out on my last grow.I'm just thirsty for knowledge and in turn that made me passionate about growing, it's a fascinating process. I am still a total newbie, though I'll do my best to research before I ask questions and I'll keep the panic posts to a minimum.
Peace
There are some truly brillant people on this forum. Hopefully you find the answers youre looking for. And don't you dare hold back on the panic posts ... we've all been there

Well. Cob LEDs are freaking huge in this forum. That will be the easiest and cheapest way to do it. And if you choose to build the fixtures yourself you will be able to fix them too. Look up cob LEDs AND Quantum Boards. Theres a lot to learn, but some of the local wildlife will answer any questions you have.
You dont need all that right out of the gate. Grow some, sell some, build your reasources. AND your knowledge before going all in

what's going on family? im new to growing and I am trying to learn as much as possible. I just started a thread in newbie central asking for help and seen the new member roll call link and decided to introduce myself. im chefrob15 and im a Cali patient out of the port of Los Angeles area. I grew up a stoner and then ventured over to the dark side! some of you might know what I mean, but after 11 years not fucking round with anything I got injured at work. 2 herniated discs. I didn't want to go the pharm rout so I decided to give cannabis a try and heavy cbd doses at first and I am on a good pain regimen. but enough about me. I have a question how do my plants look? im going to post a pic but I would really like feed back on my post . good looking out yo!http://rollitup.org/t/2-week-old-from-seed.952575/

ill have to check grow weed easy, it wouldnt let me post the link think it was weed in the kitchen, so much out there, never know what to buy into. ive never tried that recipie, just looked for something that went along the lines of what i was thinking, ive read about rick simpson, it is a good way to go.

If you search for grow weed easy it should be within the first couple results. It' a very popular site.
RSO is also very popular. Used primarily as medicine, but my friends and I dont use any pot products as a medicine. We just get hammered. I will say its scary strong. If youve ever had a truly nuclear brownie, and hoped the buzz didnt get any stronger, thats how this stuff is. Gotta test drive it a little. This particular concentrate is fairly clean. There is some chlorphyl and trace amounts of other things, but its not like the stuff you find in a vape pen. once the alcohol is evaporated out you suck it up in a syringe and you'e off to the races. A syringe is really the only way to dose this stuff cleanly and accurately. We have found a 3ml syringe has about 30 doses in it, but if youre brave then go for it. If youre using heat to get rid of the alcohol dont let the mixture get above 235 degrees. I use a digital meat thermometer with a probe in a wire.

They look good a little " leggy" they are stetching for the lights a tad. If the stretch gets worse maybe start lowering you lights a little slowly. When watering be sure to water from the outside in to ensure all of the media is getting some. Make doubly sure to take care of the roots. The water can really push the dirt around, you don't want to disturbed the roots. Usually you would sprout seeds, put it in a party cup, then maybe even go to a 1gallon, and finally put it in the last pot. You'e fine... but be careful when watering. Looking forward to see how they turn out!

thanks for the info stltoed. they were stretching a little because I had them under the table with a desk fan and a 75 watt Philips agro lite. they are doing better under the led. this is al new to me so im just trying to learn as much as possible. I added a 4 inch duct fan today at the top of the tent. I got another one that's going to push intake in from the bottom. I only hooked up the top exhaust will that be enough to keep the temp the temp in range? my tent is at 81 * and 44% humidity. is the temp at a good range.

Get yourself a thermometer with a hygrometer (measures humidity) 0in it. this is waaaay better than asking an opinion on this. There are so many variables, the two measurements compliment each other. Right now higher humidity, and marginally higher temps are a good idea. Veg requires higher humidity than flower. I run my room at 85 degrees due to my lights... I'm not recommending that for you right now. The analogue style versions of the thermometer/hygrometers can suck. I once bought two and not only did they not match they were both wrong according to a digital model with a remote sensor. The digital one has a 2x3 inch sensor you can put anywhere you like im the grow area and a 10 inch control pad that gives info anywhere in the room for ease of acces.
You are going to want to keep the air coming in and blowing out fairly quickly. You want the plant to have easy access to Co2. I've never used a tent, but would guess the gas can migrate though the tent walls. Albeit slower than positive flow. Inline fans are kind of hit and miss. You can spend $20 on a 6" ipower and i will not be anywhere close yo a 6" Hurricane, Can Fan, or other more expensive models. Also some are much louder than others, or simply don't last. There may be a little trial and error here, directly proportionate to your finances.
I just started 12 seeds, so im only 10 days or so behind you.

Sorry dude, i just have fell asleep. I didn' see the last part of your post. Humidity looks good, temp will work, but i wouldn't go over 80 degees right now if you can help it. If you cant. Then watch them closely. Temps and humidity fall into a category where everyone has different opinions. Some will say going over 80 degrees is fine. But it' a bit safer if you dont
Make doubly sure you don' let the grow media dry out

Hi Guys Im new here obvs and would like an honest opinion of my sativa in it's current flowering stage to confirm if what you and i are seeing is normal behaviour? As she is in flower i was expecting to see more calyxes, they are present but there is an abundance of leaves. The room temps around 25 good ventilation, the mediums coco with a ph of 6.3, nutes are shogun cocoA/B pk, boost and calmag.
The plant is potentially a Jam Pearl strain but can't be sure, it's been in flower for around 5-7 weeks and as i've not done sativa's before i would like some honest opinions.
Thanks for all and any help.

Are they buds on the plant with leaves all over them?do you pick leaves and control lower leaves?did you top this plant?you have a bunch of grooming to do.it looks like.I'm no pro but I know a little.lookin good tho.what type of lights?

Hi Bigbugwolf yeah i topped the plant once only and have cleared all lower leaves under the canopy, There are pistils and calyxes hidden under the leaves everywhere just not swollen or frosty. You can see that there are some trichomes on the leaves when under a jewelers scope but nothing popping as yet. The light is a 400w hps. I don't think that i will remove any more leaves unless they are yellow,brown or dead as i don't want to stress her too much. She has come a long way and there's a little background story to hear journey which i can't go into now due to having to go to work but maybe will tell later
Anyway really appreciate the feedback, have you ever seen a sativa like this in flowering week 6 before?

Shame i was hoping you or some one has for a sativa anyway. The light has been the same since flower it was outside before flower as i thought it was a male but pistils came out and i was like "oh no my baby" by this time my tent was full of white diesel already in mid flower with no space. I brought her back inside as she had been ravaged by the elements and mites. Ive worked hard bringing her back to health whilst she was in veg. Once she was back to her former glory in put her in 12/12. So to answer your question she started in tent st 400w hps, thought it was male but didnt have the heart to kill her so she lived in the garden for about 3-4 weeks. Weather was uk average so crap. Brought her back in gave her 2 weeks of 18/6 of hps she has the tent to herself too. Then flipped the flowrring switch. All i see her doing is spout leaves with a lot if pisitls but no bud like an indica does so im confused. Gonna try reducing the light to 13/11 next week to see if that helps maybe?
