Hello E'rybody! Potmetal here. Been lurking a bit, but I began thinking that might be considered kinda rude. I wouldn't want someone watching me work and then going off, succeeding, and then accepting all the credit for knowledge that wasn't earned through their own hard work. So here I am...

Good day to you, RIU Community! ____________________________________________________________ TL;DR My Secret Jardin DR90 (3'x3'x6') has a few factory light leaks that are kind of to be expected.. Should I be worried/take precautions? My RO water also comes out of the filter at 9.0 (which I...

Things to consider: · Target yield: 1+ LB · Budget: $2500 · Growing location: House. In a valley/desert with little humidity, high heat. · I am a beginner and stealth is a must. · I want 2 tents, one for cones, or veg and one for flowering. The most trouble I have is trying to find...

Hellooo RIU Community! TL;DR Bought a homemade "RO" filter (not true RO). Water comes out at 6.6-6.8 pH and 0 ppm (EC unknown). Since filter is very new (have run less than 400 mL of water through it, since I haven't yet started grow), carbon precipitate still comes out in the water from the...

INTRO Hi all. I'm a relatively inexperienced grower, but I'm a big LED nerd so when I discovered the COB CXB3690 threads here, I got really excited. I had been growing with hardware store CFLs, and was looking for a way to up my photons cheaply. I had been wanting to build a 10w array for...

Starting a journal kinda late, been working on these for awhile now. Been a struggle without checking my ph but my replacement should be in tomorrow and they've survived this far. I'm approx 5 weeks into flower. Flipped to 12/12 exactly a month ago today. I've got 2 Nirvana NYPD from a...

Hiya noobs and experienced budmasters, ______________________________________________________________________________________ TL;DR Planting in inert medium, don't know which nutrient line is best for me: Advanced Nutrients, General Hydro, or BioBizz? In prices: Advanced >> General Hydro >...

Hello all! _____________________________________________________ TL;DR Zero-experience noob, need advice to decide between 300W LED and 250W-400W MH/HPS setup. Grow area will be 32"x32" (80x80cm), height undecided (63"-71", 160-180cm). Tropical climate (right on top of Tropic of Capricorn)...

Hi, sorry for a dumb question but I have read so much and only get more and more cunfused so again I am sorry about it must have to ask myself for direct answer to my question. Found Kingbrite on Alibaba that so many talked about and got these bins for the CXB3070 that I entend to combine with...

Is a 250w 2700k stronger than a 400w HPS or MH? And if not is the 600w better

Hey guys, I've been browsing the various MMJ forums as I got ready to start growing. So far things have been working out, but I'm still very early in the process. I am growing an auto flower strain from SeedSupreme, and have made a couple of adjustments since germinating and was hoping someone...

Hello everyone! I hope all are having a wonderful night! I'm new to rollitup, stoked as hell on my next grow, and need some advice. I'm new to the forum, and have put off asking for advice for so long but with the investment I have put into this last grow I want to make sure everything turns...

Alright so Ive wanted to start a journal for a while and just had two seeds (purple cheese auto and super bud auto) pop up 5 days ago, I also have an amnesia auto I've been growing for 5 1/2 weeks to see if I'd kill it or not before I actually start. Now this may a little all over the place as...

Hi Guys, probably slight over-worrying like my last post but I just did my checks on my 15 day old plant pair, one (the ice) is perfectly fine. The other, The lemon Kush, has this small browning over the back part of the first true leaf set (pics attached) All other leaves and new growths are...

Hello I'm new here So please forgive me if I do something wrong! I'm a newb and I've only grown once before. A NL auto that came out ok. This time around I'll be growing papaya (mango). I have two plants one small and the other big. The big plant was topped and the smaller one is just lucky to...

OK so, I have done about five little grows with two of them being successful(very very small amount of bud, but at least I have some). The other three times, the plant grows decently until a certain point and then it stops growing, starts getting brown spots on the leaves, starts drooping...
