Had a little stem root at the beginning because I had my drip feed on too often. Cleared it up with alcohol pads for the stem, hydrogen perioxide and hydro guard. Besides that I believe my light was too weak to produce mass buds.
Only had .46 ounces on the scale once dried, but OMG this is some stout stuff. It has a fruity and earthy taste. Very smooth and don't need much. It has an uplifting buzz that makes you want to dance around the house while doing housework.
How do I ensure that my seeds will grow this time?
18"×18"×48" Grow Tent
1000w LED grow light
18 hour Glass of water then paper towel method until tap root
Distilled water
Hydroguard and general hydroponic nutes
Bubbleponic method with drip
Rock wool and clay pebbles
You asked "this time"? What problems have you had? I soak my seeds for 24 hours and them plant them.
I don't recommend hydro for anyone inexperienced with growing as it is more technical and simple mistakes can end up in sick or dead plants if your are inattentive.
Has anyone grown Candy Haze yet? I can't find it on the list at all. Its new by Crop Kings and its a cross between Skittles and Purple Haze. Their catalog doesn't even have it yet and the package didn't have info on it like most. How long should I veg? Then flower?
The common strategy is measure from the base of the plant to the highest you can put your light. Subtract the distance you need away from the light for flowering for led's its usually 12"( 30 cm ) Then divide that in half. You don't want to Veg your plant any taller then that. Its best to go a bit shorter just to make sure you will have room.Your strain is sativa dominate so it will be taller then usual. Since this is your first grow I would recommend veg for 3-4 weeks then flip to flower. Flowering time will be based on the strain yours is around 9 weeks. Get a jewelers loupe ( 60x magnification) or digital microscope to check the trichomes for the best estimate on when to harvest. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.
Happy Growing.
It depends on your system.
High pressure aeroponic system( sprays a mist) watering cycles typically operate on a 15 sec ON and 3 – 5 minute OFF cycle. So start in the middle with 15 times per hour(4 min intervals) with 15 seconds This ensures the chamber maintains a high humidity level while preventing the fine mist from combining into larger droplets.
Low pressure systems(sprays water streams or flows through a drip ring) use a 5 minute ON and 10-12 minute OFF cycle timer. so 6 times per hour and 300 seconds.

So many questions not enough space.
1. Should I use fresh water for my drip system and use basin for runoff?
2. How long should my drip run?
3. Starter nutes with distilled water suggestions?
Using general hydroponic flora gro micro and bloom with root starter nute included kit
1. The first 2-3 weeks seeds have all the nutrients needed so you want to use 1/4 recommended dose of the root starter from instructions on the bottle and water(PH 5.8) and that has a very low EC/PPM which is Reverse osmosis(RO)/distilled/ Zero Water filter. Especially if your system is a spray system. you don't want to clog the nozzles with unwanted minerals in the water. Yes you would want to collect the runoff and re-circulate it. You could drain to waste but I consider it a waste of nutrients and water.
2. Answered in your other question.
3. When you start adding nutrients start with 0.3ml per L Grow, 0.2ml per L Micro and 0.3ml per L Bloom( mix micro first then any order) You want to start with a low EC/PPM and slowly raise it as your plant grows. If you don't have an EC/PPM meter get one. Its best if you go with EC as it is consistent where PPM has different scales.
If you don't have a PH meter you will also want to get one. Make sure its for water and not soil.
Does anyone have the Wzdragon 1000w LED grow light?
What height should it be at each stage?
Should I follow what it shows on Amazon. No info was sent in box.
Yes follow what it shows on amazon. When your seed starts if it gets really long and tall then lower the light. If the leaves start to turn white or are angled up in a V shape then its to close. The distance is an average, every strain is different and can handle different amounts of light. Its always a keep an eye on her. As she gets older if you notice twisted leaves on the new growth. or the serrated edges start curling up then its to close.

Is it true if you keep your roots small the plant will stay small? I have 2 small totes that hold 6 quarts each in a 18"×18"×48" tent. Each will have one plant. Size 14"×8"×5". Can't fit anything bigger in this small tent. Don't want to go bigger. No space. Is it ok?
Why so hateful? I want 2 small plants because of the size of my tent. If they grow too tall or bushy they wouldnt fit. My sq ft is small so small totes equal small plants. Right?
I saw your grow question. They are close but a lot of knowing when to chop is knowing what you are growing for. If it's not a high CBD strain you grow until some fan leaves are cannibalizing if you just want it for thc and recreation. In that case just go by the plants appearance.. yellow fan leaves, stops making fuzzies, color changes to buds forget the trichomes. If it's a high CBD strain and you want medical benefits then wait for amber trichomes, if you don't want to crash everytime you fire up then don't wait as soon as you see amber chop chop. That's just my personal thing not backed up by anything. Calendars are meaningless except for a window of 20 days or so. I usually have a hard time reading trichomes and don't grow high CBD so I just look at the plant like it's old school outside. I do know that trichomes look different under LED's. Hope that helped.
@Loserofthemonth, thank you. Im new to all this. Ive seen it done for years, family thing... But I never cared enough to pay attention but after my father passed I decided to try. I flooded my first seedlings in an Aerogarden. Definitely can tell a big difference between outdoor and indoor. These LEDs are all different and confusing. Each brand has different settings and heights and all that. With all these went through Ive learned a lot about keeping them healthy.
