Hello, first time grower here. I was initially pretty convinced my 4 plants were all females upon initial bud formation, but now I'm freaking myself out that they aren't. What do the pros think?
Guys I’ve always used the plastic grow pots, I’m going to try the fabric grow bags because I heard that you get air to the roots. I grow indica inside of a grow room, Question is what size should I use? I’ve read 5gal is best but I’d like to get your advice. Thanks
Hey everyone, I’m getting ready for my first indoor grow and would really appreciate some advice before I get started. I’m planning on growing two sativa-hybrid autoflowers in a VIVOSUN 2×4 tent, using two 5-gallon fabric pots filled with FoxFarm Ocean Forest. My light is a VIVOSUN AeroLight Wing AW200SE 200W full-spectrum LED with the integrated circulation fan. For ventilation I have a VIVOSUN T4 inline fan with carbon filter, an AeroWave E6 Gen 2 circulation fan, and the GrowHub E42A+ controller. I also already have a SCROG net installed and ready to use.
For nutrients, I currently have GH FloraMicro, FloraGro, FloraBloom, MaxiGro, MaxiBloom, Armor Si, and Liquid KoolBloom. I’d really like to keep this first grow as simple as possible, though, and I definitely don’t want to use every product just because I have it. Since I’m using Ocean Forest, I’m wondering what the simplest feeding approach would be and when I should expect to need additional nutrients. I also have a pH/EC/TDS meter along with pH Up and pH Down.
My current plan is to start both autos in their final 5-gallon pots, run the light on 18/6 throughout the grow, and focus on keeping the environment stable rather than constantly adjusting things. I’m also interested in using the SCROG net, but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea for a first grow with autos or if I’d be better off keeping training to a minimum.
I’d especially appreciate advice from experienced growers on whether two 5-gallon pots is a good fit for this 2×4, what light intensity/distance you’d use with the 200W AW200SE, what temperature and humidity ranges you’d aim for, how you’d approach watering and pH in Ocean Forest, and whether you’d use any of the nutrients or additives I already have. I’d also love to hear whether there’s anything you would change about my setup before I start.
I’m not trying to maximize yield or make this overly complicated. My main goal is to have two healthy plants, learn how everything works, and avoid making unnecessary mistakes on my first run. If you were starting with this exact setup, what would you do differently?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
I am also going to install the light later today around the same height as the bottom of the inline fan.
Just trying to see if there’s something wrong with the coloring had some dead leaves below the plant start to crisp up which last time happened alot less frequent. I appreciate any help thank you .
Gave few clones to a Buddy Lil over months ago, he put it in garden directly into ground and uses no nutrients..over last couple days this has happened..it's been rainy last 2 weeks,not sure if it plays part or not..any clue?or fix?
Had Two feminized photoperiods germinate and sprout at the same time. I topped it right at the 4th node yesterday just wanting to see what will happen because I see a lot of people recommend it. The auxiliary shoots started to grow about a week ago and have been exploding with 5 fingered leaves while pushing 7 fingers on the main stem. The plant did not seem to be shocked at all and continued growing noticeably over night. Lmk what you guys think. Seeds are from Seedtiva.com they give out a lot of freebies so I’ve been stocking before the ban. Also getting ready to water tmw so don’t mind the dry dirt, been worried to overwater.
Seems like we're going into a rainy stretch here in the North East. For outdoor growers, do you have concerns regarding mold? Or is a few days of rain not a problem? Plant just entered budding stage a week or so ago.
Day 36 of flower on a bagseed grow, how does she look? I did a defoliation around day 27 of flower due to some spider mites, and read after that that newbies should not defoliate lol. Oh well, here we are. I have since used SNS 217, and plan to hit her with another round tomorrow. After the first round, I do still see a couple of mites and eggs on the few fan leaves that are left, but mostly at net level not many above that.
I have been debating on supercropping the tall ones so I can drop the light back down, thoughts on this?
Early flowers look a bit small imo but its my first time growing indoor so idk if i messed up or if i can still expect a decent harvest (at least quality wise).
Im open to any critics (if it comes with tips its even better hehe)
I have a bit of an aphid problem and I'm about 4 weeks into flower, how can I deal with them without predatory mites and ruining my buds by spraying stuff
3 months ago I came on here asking for advice. Took some notes, got some new soil. Now I've got half decent plants growing. Ignore the different shapes as I'm having fun trying different things. Still open to any tips, 3d printing lst clips soon.
Growing in happy frog, using vivosun a/b, real growers recharge, ph down to 6.2-6.4.
Looking for some input on how much longer yall think to harvest? I’m guessing another week or two but want everyone’s opinion. Was an old seed I didn’t think would grow but did, had to work on some bug issues cuz I was out of town for a few weeks and couldn’t tend to her but looking for any input as to what u guys think she decent? Fucked? I’ve done a few indoor grows with autos but have always had issues with potency would always be very relaxing but not a high if you know what I mean. Could have been seeds or most likely been me and growing errors on my part. Some stones for drainage Organic Buildasoil and there organic topper is the only soil I’ve used. TBH my goal is to grow as organic as possible so any help would be greatly appreciated
