Sweet Seeds are sensational. Potent, productive and easy to grow stable genetics. Barneys Farm are pretty good, so are Humboldt Seed Organization and Dinafem if you can still find any of their seeds, since they were both closed down about 2 years ago by the Spanish Feds. Yes, American by name but in reality an umbrella company of Spanish giant, Dinafem. Seedsman would rate as my lowest. For retailers, Pev Grow in Spain would be hard to beat for value, range and service.

obviously the money sign is a variable for something... so where you see "0" there is a 10 in front. i used to get part a + cal nitrate for 70-100. It looks like they increased prices 10-20 on part A, lately. Still roughly 30 per year. better measurement for apples to apples... 100-120 USD for 3,150 gallons at full instructed dose (11340g * (1gal / 3.6g) = 3150 gal). Or, about 4 pennies per gallon mixed. No pot brand is beating that. Go with a product that was servicing farms and other professionals.. not some crap marketed to shaved monkeys growing in their basement that like playing with stickers and products with cartoon labels.

Burning from too hot soil mix. Acapulco Gold is a Sativa that needs a lot less nutrients than other strains. Just keep giving plain water until the leaves grow without burn marks, wait another two weeks then start feeding with half strength nutrients, this is all she will need, even in flowering, half strength. It needs to use up what nutrition is in the soil already before new nutrients are added. If not, the burning will just continue. Fox Farm soils seem notoriously too rich from reports in this forum. Personally I would advise against doing 12/12 from seed, it takes so long and you are better to get them growing properly and vigorously at 18/6 and then switching to 12/12 for flowering. Otherwise it is a bit like driving a vehicle and never getting out of first gear! You will obviously have to feed the Acapulco Gold its own blend of fertilizers and this shows how not all cannabis can need or cope with exactly the same nutrition. Either that or just dilute the nutrients that you are making 50/50 with plain water before giving it to the Acapulco Gold plant. At this stage I can't see the need to be feeding any of your plants with Bud Candy or Terpinator, these are flowering supplements, not grow nutrients. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Since we’re growing 3 different strains some of the plants are growing at a different pace. The Alcapulco Gold plants are measuring at 10 inches while the other two strains are approximately 17 inches in height. We’re going to start pruning this week. We’re still giving half of the recommended dose of the nutrients except for the Alcapulco Gold; they’re only receiving pH balanced water weekly. The A.Gold started turning yellow early Veg and that’s why we stopped giving all nutrients

The A. Gold plants is measuring: 17 inches and received pH balanced water and nutrients/ approximately 34 oz per plant. We’re also trying to keep the humidity down. Normally the Dehumidifier helps a lot but it’s hard to keep down when it’s about to rain outside, hence why this week’s humidity is 81 degrees. Any tips would be helpful.

I need tips on keeping the humidity low inside the tent. We’ve got an air conditioning unit (placed outside of the tent) and a dehumidifier in the tent. The size of our tent is 5x5x6. Days where it’s raining with high humidity it’s harder to control humidity levels. Please help!

Yikes... you really DO need to lower that humidity, don't you! Ok, so you're doing everything you possibly could - it's good to have an air conditioner outside the tent (I assume you have ventilation/fans going) and it's good to have a dehumidifier inside.... but obviously that's not doing all you need. There's a simple, cheap way to reduce the humidity - I just don't know if it will do as much as you need it to do.... Anyway, you take 2 5-gallon buckets... in one bucket, drill a bunch of holes in the lower 1/3 and the bottom (1/4"??) and the put that bucket inside the other one. Now get yourself some rock salt and dump it into the bucket with the holes... the salt will take the moisture out of the air and convert it to water which drips, then, into the lower bucket and you can take out and pitch... You'll probably have to monitor the water level in that lower bucket frequently as you don't want it to rise and start getting the rock salt submerged! Good luck.... in six months, we'll be trying desperately to keep our tents warm and humid!

I do not think that controller is advertised having that capability. Your controller appears the same as the Cloudline fans and it only controls the fan. You can set it to turn the fan on/off depending on temperature but it is not designed to control a heater or air conditioner or humidifier or dehumidifier. It just turns the fan on and off if the tent exceeds the parameters you set.

I run a FC4800, and a SE5000. I also have the SE3000 in use and a SE7000 in storage. Between the 2 companies i prefer Spider Farmer. Even though these companies are sister companies that don't compete with each other. My (saveurcash) code is stackable on their home page or Amazon. So if you find more discount codes you can add them as well. I don't get nothing if you use my code. Just saves you some money is all. Good luck with your choice.

Jup! Definitiv. Je größer der Topf, desto mehr Wurzelvolumen. Je mehr Wurzelvolumen, desto mehr Ertrag 💪 Eine Ausnahme bilden da vielleicht Indoor wachsende Autoflower, da sind meiner Meinung nach 10 Liter eine gute Größe. Autoflower sind schneller Fertig und können daher nicht die volle Topfgröße ausnutzen, oder besser gesagt auswurzeln.
