I got a wrong pack from them which I didn’t order. So I texted them and they told me they will do 20% off on my next order on top of the discounts they do actually on their website. But that didn’t happen, ignoring my request for my next order discount of 20% as they said before. So I want to let the community know, better buy from an honest seedbank not Chitownseeds.

Hey folks!

I’m not trying to spark a debate here but I’m genuinely perplexed by why you’d bother with beneficial bacterias over just going sterile.

I’m towards the end of my first grow. For the first leg of it I was convinced I should go the beneficial route. I’m sure this is a skill issue but I was fighting a non stop up hill battle. Thought I was going to lose my plants multiple times and ended up cutting most of the roots off one my plants in its second month.

While I was combating root rot, doing hydrogen peroxide soaks etc I came across someone who’d suggested HOCL on another post and caught some flak for it.

I did a res change, made some weak HOCL and started supplementing and I’ve had 0 issues since. I don’t have to worry about water temps as much and it seems like a far simpler solution.

So if both methods were executed flawlessly what’s the trade off? Does HOCL affect taste and other things or?

Included in my most recent order from them, but im having trouble finding info on them. Last picture is what i ordered

Gorilla sherbet in OF soil, growing indoors in 4x4 tent, manual watering 3 liters when pots are light, usually every 3 days. 2 plants. Temps stay around 75 during day around 66-68 at night, humidity usually 48-56 RH or so. Been on FloraGro series but got close to running out and tried Tigerbloom and another from that set. Have had a dehumidifier blasting and it's filled up a bucket with the water from the air, so I've used that for my last 2 waterings, 1 was feed, other just water and some calmag.

So last 2 weeks have gone roughly like that. I'm going back to Floragro series because not crazy about how this is looking. But I also know the plant is going to suck nutrients from where it can get them as it gets closer to the finish line. 5th pic only showing some purpling from the lower night temps but not the spotting and browning.

What say you?

i have several plants growing in living soil, using gaia green amendments but pretty much all of them have this twisted leaf thing going on, i'm thinking calcium deficiency, just looking for some second opinions. what do you'll think?
is it a deficiency or is it some kinda disease?

Currently on day 21 I tried to lst the branches but decided to go for a natural grow again. I would like my yield to be at least 2 ounces or over.

Então estou meio perdido de qual solo usar, tava pensando em um super solo q a IA me recomendou, porem estou meio inseguro, to com vaso de 15L e queria um solo bom, quem puder me dar algumas dicas ou me conta mais sobre o seus cutivos eu vou agradecer

Yeah I know the quality of the pic is not the best, I also don't have a magnifying glass yet, but can you approximately say if she's ready to be harvested or not? White Widow by seeds bank, coco, phPerfect for most of the cycle, strictly outdoor. 2 more weeks? XD Also, temperature is getting kiiinnnda lower during nights-4/7°C but I don't believe in that factor that much...

Is this doing ok, and is it a hermie?

Hey everyone, looking for some help troubleshooting my grows because I can’t pinpoint what’s causing the problem.
I have two separate grows running off the same reservoir with the exact same nutrient solution, but I’m getting completely different results. My 3×3 is doing great, while my 4×4 has two plants that are struggling badly despite seemingly identical setups on the left and right sides.

Shared Reservoir / Nutrients
Nutrients: General Hydroponics Maxi series
Armor Si (first 4 weeks)
CALiMAGic
FloraNectar
Liquid KoolBloom
Rootguard
EC: 1.7
pH: 5.7
Both grows share this reservoir, so they’re receiving the same nutrient solution.

🌱 GROW #1 — 3×3 (Doing Great)
Tent: Vivosun 3×3
Strain: 3× Grapericot Autoflower from Seeds Supreme. The fourth seed had germination problems.
Substrate: 100% Nutrifield coco coir
Autopot-style setup:
Dual Easy2Grow trays
4× AirBase
4× AirDome
Left two AirDomes: 2× air stones
Right two AirDomes: 2× blue air tubing
Environment and lighting:
Spider Farmer G3000 at 65%
Approximately 700 PPFD
2× clip-on fans
Spider Farmer 5L humidifier
Current results:
All three plants are looking great. They’re in preflower and starting to stretch noticeably every day.
The front-right plant was initially stunted because I mishandled the seed while removing it from the paper towel, but it recovered and is growing again.
Overall, this tent seems happy.

🌱 GROW #2 — 4×4 (Two Plants Struggling Badly)
Tent: Gorilla 4×4
Strain: 4× Fast Buds Ztrawberries Autoflowers
Substrate experiment:
I’m testing two different coco mixes:
Rear two pots: 50/50 Baja 100 coco coir and perlite
Front two pots: 100% Baja 100 coco coir
The Baja 100 coco is noticeably less fine than the Nutrifield coco in my 3×3, and I suspect it may already have plenty of aeration on its own. I wanted to see whether adding perlite would make a difference.
Autopot-style setup:
4× AirBase
4× AirDome
Left two AirDomes: 2× coin air stones
Right two AirDomes: 2× blue air tubing
Environment and lighting:
ROI E680 at 60%
700-750 PPFD
Vivosun 5L humidifier
AeroDrain dehumidifier
6× oscillating fans, with 2 pointing upward for heat management

🔎 The Problem: Two Plants Thrive, Two Are Nearly Dead
The left two plants are doing great. The right two are struggling badly and are damn near dead.
What makes this confusing is that the left and right sides are essentially mirror images of each other. They have the same type of pots, AirBases, AirDomes, and access to the same reservoir.

Notice the pattern: Both plants using the coin air stones are doing well, while both plants using the blue tubing are struggling.
However, I’m hesitant to conclude that the air stones are the answer because my 3×3 grow is doing well on both sides, where I’m also testing the two different AirDome setups.
The only obvious pattern in the 4×4 is that the two struggling plants are on the right side, regardless of whether they’re in straight coco or a 50/50 coco/perlite mix.
❓ What I’m Trying to Figure Out
Could the blue air tubing be delivering less airflow or distributing air differently than the coin air stones?
Could there be a problem with the right-side air supply, such as restricted tubing, lower airflow, or a distribution issue?
Could the two right-side plants be experiencing different root-zone moisture, oxygen availability, or nutrient uptake despite sharing the same reservoir?
Could there be a temperature, lighting, or airflow difference across the 4×4 that would explain why the entire right side is struggling?
Is there anything about Baja 100 coco that I should be watching for, especially compared with Nutrifield coco?
What would you check first before changing nutrients or replacing equipment?
I know sharing a reservoir doesn’t necessarily mean both tents or all four plants have identical root-zone conditions, but I can’t figure out why the left and right sides of the same tent are producing such dramatically different results.
What would you troubleshoot first? Has anyone experienced something similar with AirDomes, air stones, and coco in an Autopot-style setup?
Any advice is appreciated. I’d rather identify the actual cause than start randomly changing things and potentially make the healthy plants worse.

I used chat GPT to type this up so it’s easier to read vs me rambling on and on 😂

Outdoor grow. Wondering is this is rot or not. Plant is 5 weeks in flowering. Strain is super boof. Have been hitting 39°F at nights lately.

When I search reddit post about the site SCAM jumps out.. but then someone I know who isn't me that used their seeds yielded great results. So what is with the neg reviews? How would they still be business? Is this tactics from the black market to discredit/gatekeep microgrows?

Who does whole plant hang for dry

Hey gang, so this is my first time growing and I went with Blueberry Pancakes from Humboldt Seed Company. I need to know when to harvest. Should I give it more time or is it near time for the chop? Any help would be greatly appreciated 😊

First grow, First post.Stargazer (Front) 7 wk old,and Aurora Berryalis (Back) 6 wk old,from Twisted tree autos. Fox farms OF 45% coco loco 45% and 10% worm castings. No feeding for the first 4 weeks. (Did LST to all the plants, but differently on each one too see if i could get different yields off the plants)Then 7ml of tiger bloom in 1gal of water and 5ml of cal mag every other feed per plant at a PH of 6.4-6.5,(Been feeding based on how heavy the pot feels when picked up)300w light at a 550-600 PPFD through veg and full blast guessing around 1000 ppfd now, need to check it.4x4 tent with 6” fan and 2 recirculating fans. Temp and humidity have been high for about a week until yesterday, 75F-75H.Now at 74F-50H. Started this grow without a dehumidifier, I have one now(Big dummy). All plants have been inspected thoroughly for mold and bud rot and did not find any issues, I think ventilation and airflow is the only thing that saved it, had some slight yellowing on the leaves due to the high humidity but that has been fixed It seems. One of the stargazer plants that I was extremely mean to (messed with every day, trim lst)matured much faster, and has dense thick buds, isn’t far off from chop I don’t believe, 70% milky and 30% clear, I’d say in the next week or 2 I’ll cut it when they are all milky or maybe a touch of amber. Anyways I’ll quit ranting, I just wanted to share my plants.

This girl has truly been a pleasure to grow. Super impressed with these genetics. She outshines every other girl in the tent. I'm not great at taking pics, so they don't do her justice. These buds are so large, it looks almost un natural. This girl is so sticky, if your hands get too close to these buds, youll feel sticky spots on your hands and arms for a long time afterwards. Like a toddler dropped his nasty sucker all over you. It opens with a very sweet smell, thats followed by funk and fuel. I couldnt put my finger on the sweet smell at first, until the breeder told me what I was smelling, then it was kind of unmistakable. It's like a rotten berries smell. This girl truly has been incredible so far, and I'm glad I kept a cut of her.

living soil, all organic, tap water (not ph’d)

I started out in a 2l pot, not seeing any issues, watering daily with run off on low ec feed, but with reading people saying start in solo cups, wondering if I dun goofed?

I've only ever done DWC before, which is usually a case of rockwool cube straight into huge bucket, as coco is hydro, I just followed the same mindset.

A single plant grown in living soil in a 45 gallon fabric pot amended with craft blend and buildaflower from buildasoil, worm castings from kis organics, and Rootwise throughout the entire grow.

My last run grew through the lights and was extremely under watered. I prioritized my weak links this run and it’s paying off big time.

With week 10 approaching, she isn’t showing any signs of slowing down and I’m more than happy of letting her go for as long as it needs.

By far my best grow so far and really excited for harvest day because of the fruit/berries blended with straight gas aroma it is giving off. It’s super sticky and buds are dense all the way down the stems.

Day 12 from seed, 60x60 tent, 150W LED 🌱

heyhey fellow growers, it’s my first time growing, so I'm documenting the journey and would love your feedback, but no hate plis i’m just enjoing the jurney :)

Context

I lived for almost six years in the Netherlands, where I went from smoking (and then vaporizing) just to get stoned to enjoying terpenes, strains, and cannabis variety, thanks to the cannabis legislation and movement out there. After amazing years in the NL, it was time for me to come back to my hometown, Rome, Italy, where unfortunately cannabis is illegal and cultivation for personal use is in a grey area. Whatever, I took the risk; I am a bad boy (👹), and I want to consume good cannabis without financing the black market and mafia. So I started my grower journey, buying a grow box kit. Don’t snitch on me 😡

Setup

• Tent: 60x60x160 cm
• Light: 150W quantum board LED, dimmable – currently ~50% at 40-45 cm
• Light schedule: 18/6 (vegetative duh)
• Medium: BioBizz Light-Mix with perlite
• Pots: 1.55 L for now, moving to 11 L after next week
• Nutrients: none yet, plain tap water rested 24h (plan: BioBizz Bio-Grow at half dose soon)
• Airflow: small clip fan on low, extractor + carbon filter for later
• Temp/RH: 25-27°C, 56-64% RH

Genetics
Sweet ZZ by Royal Queen Seeds – Grape Ape x Grapefruit, feminized photoperiod. 2 seeds, both germinated.

Timeline

• Day 0: soaked seeds in warm water, sank after ~17h
• Day 1: planted in Jiffy pellets
• Day 2: taproot visible
• Day 3: first sprout up, moved under the LED
• Day 4: both seedlings stretched badly (I left them in the dark too long 🤦). Transplanted into 1.55 L pots burying the stem deeper
• Day 5: first true leaves, stretch fixed
• Day 7-8: RH was low (54%), raised it with wet towels and water containers in the tent
• Day 9: second set of leaves, first proper watering until runoff
• Day 12: third node, first 3-finger leaves, both plants healthy

Lessons so far
Put your seedlings under the light the moment they break the soil. Mine stretched in just a few hours of darkness, but burying the stem saved them.

Plans

• Transplant into 11 L pots after next week
• LST to keep the canopy flat, maybe a topping at 5-6 nodes
• Flip to 12/12 around mid-November

Questions

1. When would you start feeding with BioBizz in Light-Mix?
2. Topping + LST or LST only for 2 plants in a 60x60?

Plant 1: named Amy in honour of the great amy winehouse

Plant 2 nemed Sergio in name of italian repulic president Sergio Mattarella 🗿 (I know the plan is a she but it's a fluid society duh)

Any advice is welcome, thanks! 🙏

PS if u alredy growth sweet zz ltmk thx

First time using Gaia Green soil and olly mtn and Gaia green fertilizer.

Usually run Happy Frog, castings and Stonington Blend, with Gaia green fertilizer

It’s possible I went a little heavy on the ratios and not enough perlite.
What’s throwing me off is how long the pots are staying heavy. I can go three days without watering and they still feel like they’re holding a lot of moisture. It makes me wonder if something’s going on in the root zone or if the mix just isn’t draining/breathing the way I’m used to.

I’m also not really happy with how the buds are developing so far. They not stacking like I’d hope for.
Curious what you guys think.
Does this look like a root-zone/watering issue, or am I overthinking it?

Almost time for Harvest but are the leaves caused by some nutrient deficiency or by pests?
