Hi everyone, hope you all had a good growing season this year. Having fun growing here in sunny California.I mostly grow in a home made cabinet, and sometimes outside when I get a chance. Just started experimenting with led,and hope to upgrade from 250w hps to a 400w cob light soon. Ive bread a few strains and cross a few to see if I can come up with something better than what I stared with. Wishing you all a marry Christmas and a happy new year.

Howdy folks!
I just signed up here. All of the best info from the research I've been doing seems to come from this site (last bit of info being the algae that grows on rapid rooters, that I thought was mold), so I picked this forum over all the other marijuana forums (You also have a political forum, so I can make everyone hate me LOL!)
Right now, I'm about a week into my first grow (5 Crazy Miss Hyde(s) & 1 White Gold). I'm using the Growzilla 3.0 growbox. Aside from the algae, I noticed a tinge of yellow on the leaf tips. Both, I learned here was from too much water. I was a bit overzealous, & spraying the crap out of those seedlings.
I'm doing things hydroponically & using all General Organics nutrients. I'm ready to transfer the seedlings into the net pots & start getting the hydroponic system rockin' & rollin'!
People seem to say the whole "organic hydroponic" thing is stupid & a waste of money, I'm stubborn. I have always been a big fan of weed grown hydroponically, but I don't want it to "turn the friggin' frogs gay!" LOL!
In all seriousness, I want it to be as clean as possible. If I lose a bit of quantity to do so, it's completely worth it to me.
Also, I just ordered a pack of 5 CannaSutra seeds from Attitude Seeds. Only 2 more packs of 5 left & the Delta9 site is down. It's now or never for CannaSutra, folks. I've had a lot of crazy ideas for crossbreeding this plant, gonna use the colloidal silver method to make some feminized seeds... I need a lot to play with! ;-)
Anyhoo, good to be here & I look forward to exchanging ideas.

Hello everyone. New to this forum and posting on the internet in general but have been growing for 17 years in every conceivable way in a prohibited country. It seems the only way to get your hands on new genetics nowadays is if you are on instagram. Im not a fan of that so i think i fit in better here. Am running some sealed rooms and vented rooms atm. Please introduce yourselves id like to get to know like minded people.

Hey all! Denver here- Back at it for first time in a while, got two starting day2 flower today!! Blue Dream and Chocolate Mint. Took 36 clones this weekend, so starting up a new rotation if i like the phenos.. They both have pretty darn good terp profiles and are VERY hardy girls, so far so good!. Soil (worm castings, peatmoss, perlite mix),a single 315 LEC with 4x24" supplemental T5s straight through. Wish me luck, and thanks for the helpful knowledge base and community!!

Man that's a volatile question. Few questions stir emotions like that.now Let me tell you why... Simply put, some lights are better than others. Or at least perceived better. With purple lights this is seriously true. LED manufacturers lie about what their products provide. They aren't as bright as claimed, the foot print isnt anywhere close to reality, color spectrum is reported incorrectly, etc.

That being said there are some good purple lights out there. My peers are sick of hearing this but, i recently grew a 9 ounce plant with a Platinum P4. (Pic) its purple, it shows a white light because this LED also has some white CREE lights in it. I can turn the color LEDs off.

Now, this forum has a lot of COB LED light users in it. They are very powerful white LED lights. And apparently they are the bees knees. I dont know if they are or arent. If you upgrade, you might want to look at them.

Not so long ago LED users were getting shelled by the high pressure light guys because HP lights were the best light for growing pot... they held this title for decades. LEDs were expensive, and nowhere near as bright. COB users now seem to take the place of the HPS/MH guys. In there eyes purple lights are "old tech" and everyone should get on board the COB train. It doesnt matter who made your purple light, it sucks... they act just like the high pressure assholes of time past.

Don't even worry about it. Run what you got! YOU decide if it can grow good bud. It WILL grow pot. But will it be stringy with small buds? Will the light go into the plant and give good bud all the way down? Or will you have lime green underdeveloped bud in the lower parts of the plant? Is 2 plants too much for that? Probably. But, you could still have good bud on top, just make oil out of the rest of it.

This sight has some brilliant people on it. Ask good question dont embelish the truth, and dont worry about your light, this is what you have to work with. A friend on this site had this conversation just yesterday.

With a weak light there are techniques that could help you grow better bud... lollipoping your plant will do away with the lower stuff putting all the energy to the top. Or, SCRoG your plant ( I think this would work for you nicely). Screen of Green, this uses a net or trellis to pull your plant down so it grows flat, this allows the light to get down into the plant. Your light footprint probably isn't the greatest. So you don't want to grow you plants out too far. Don't veg too much. Your plant will stretch in the first few weeks of flower. You want that stretch to go up, not out. The tops will be allowed to poke through the net in flower.

Your light wont fill a room with blinding light, but you can get a good idea of the footprint of your light by measuring it at the a few distances. If you don't SCRoG. Make sure you can turn your pot... I assume you will use soil. There are so many things you can do to improve your situation. Go to Growweedeasy.com This place has a ton of info, on everything. It isn't a forum, its just info. I have spent hours there. You start at one place and follow links till your eyes bleed.

You've done good by joining this forum. Now grow something. I'm not super great at answering some of the crazier technical stuff, but i will try.
Cheers, looking forward to seeing what you come up with

Im weary of anyone that says they know everything.. Knowledge is a work in progress. For example. I persons best subject maybe math.. Hell he may have a phd and teach at Harvard. But is he good at math? By todays standard yes but weve barely scratched the surface and math hasent given us all her secrets yet. We have only read the jacket of the autobiography that is math.

Hello all!

New to the forum and was wondering if anyone could give me some input on having nutrients mailed to your house. Currently live in a legal state but unfortunately I have to relocate temporarily. I plan on continuing my growing but was figuring logistics on keeping things as on the down low as possible. I know I won't be buying from local hydroponic stores. So nutrients mailed to your house, good idea or bad? I figure if no one has a reason to look then you are okay. Especially if you gift wrap. Any response is greatly appreciated!

I always try to buy my nutrients in cash to avoid any unwanted attention... but it should be 100% legal to purchase any nutrient. They're generally just marketed as a horticulture product.

Appreciate the response! I'm just weary of local law enforcement hanging around the hydroponic stores. Thus the extra step of ordering online. But that makes sense on the cash end of things.

If you don't mind me asking, what state do you live in? I live in Washington where it's legal and I do ALL of my shopping at the Hydro store unless I can find it cheaper online. Unless you're running like 500 plants, stealing electricity, neighbors complaining about the "noise", I don't think any garage/closet grow will catch the attention of LPD. I once had the LPD knock on my door, and make eye contact with me as I was trimming a fat stack in my living room because some asshat stole my license plate and they didn't even flinch lol.

I currently live in Colorado so its no big deal right now. I might be moving to Texas which is strict against cannabis. But yeah I wasnt going to run a ton I know better than that. I just wanted to get a feel for the general attitude towards hydroponic stores in illegal states. Yeah pd walking into that in Tx would end up a tad bit different. Lol.
