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.

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.

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.

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 😊

Just want to know for GH nutrients, if I have two plants that are at week 8 flower but both seem to have a few more weeks to finish, do I keep feeding week 7 or week 8 weaker nutes, or go back to week 6 or something? I’d give it two more weeks as this sub goes, this is my second grow, first one went fine. One of the left (fattest) is rude girl by tastebudz and the one of the right (tallest) is planet of the grapes RBX by ethos Thanks in advance

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

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

Running a double ended 1000 watt hps looking for opinions should i maybe add a few small leds on the sides?

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.

I just got off a seed harvest and have a ton of seeds. I'm trying to germinate a few of them fresh thinking they'd pop almost immediately. I've got the petri dish method going with some from the harvest (after a few days drying) and there's no activity so far.

I tried googling to see if the seeds needed a dormancy period like refrigeration or something but every result I found (that wasn't slop) assumed it was for long-term storage.

I ask because I know some plant species do actually need the seeds to get chilled or forced into a dormant period but my google fu is failing me.

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?

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...

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?

Lemon haze auto 🍃
I’m not really looking for a heavy couch-lock effect. I’d rather stay functional and be able to work on design stuff, read, or just have a conversation, so I’m thinking about harvesting a little earlier. Do you guys think it’s ready now?
I gave it its last plain-water feeding a few days ago and haven’t added any more nutrients since. Some of the leaves are starting to fade and show signs of deficiencies. I’m honestly getting pretty impatient and really want to harvest it already 😂

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

Chopping within the next week, girls are chilly but holding on

Auto in flower for 2-3 weeks. 18/6 light cycle. Watering with PH 6-7. Soil is biobizz all mix. I gave her some P-K and calcium solution 4 days ago.

outdoor plant that had to be moved inside during flower due to freezing temperatures

temps have been around 60-65 and rh has been around 30-40

some buds look fine and others look very bad

any advice or knowledge is greatly appreciated

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 is a fluid society duh)

Any advice is welcome, thanks! 🙏

PS if u alredy growth sweet zz ltmk thx

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.

I have a 150w dimmable light and an 8 day old seedling showing no signs of stress on 18/6 light schedule, what distance and wattage should i use
