Love the dog in the background! Congratulations on getting into growing and making your first diary here. Welcome to the community my friend! Would you be alright with me sharing some advice ?

@Starxf_galaxy, I ask because I have been doing this since I joined the website & really trying to use my experience in the industry to help others. I have gotten such a warm reception from everybody I have helped but recently grow diaries began banning me for doing this. So I am trying it this way now, Confirming before posting. Alright then, Thank you for accepting my offer! Lets get down to it shall we. Cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch, Which we do not want. Besides lack of proper light intensity, This is going to be the second runner up of causing un-wanted stretch. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. Get yourself a little diary & keep records of each day of your grow, I show an example of this in our tutorial series & how useful it can be. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ PH, Is another VERY important aspect of having our plants grow vigorous & healthy. A lot of new growers will overlook this & it is something where there is a lot of diferent opinions on it. So the best way is to learn about it yourself & let actual fact dictate your choice. For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1. This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil : https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they do not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by week 3, It is by day 20 of flower generally, Autoflowers you have to watch for it. But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. A fully mature cannabis plant @ peak consumption in flower, Or group of plants needs to consume 3 gallons of water in 24hrs to produce 1 dry pound of cannabis. This equation holds true all the way up & it can be 1 plant or 100 plants but to produce each dry pound that plant or group of plants will need to consume 3 gallons in 24hrs. That equation will be true all the way up, 6 gallons in 24hrs your plant or plants will produce 2lbs dry, and so on. A general mistake made early on by growers is not watering the plants with enough for them to yield the way they should. This ofcoarse, Has to be done properly. Your plants need to be dialed in & uptaking at a high level, Or else this will lead to over-watering. It is not too hard once you see it done. We have included this in our tutorial series for this very reason. Another overlooked important aspect is to understand we must break up our feed's with a water in there somewhere, So what that means is when we are going to give our plants a watering, We want to do a cycle like, FEED / WATER / FEED, Or FEED / FEED / WATER on plants that are heavy feeders. What this means is for example, We would FEED, Let our plants dry our properly & then our next would be a WATER, We would then let the plants dry out again & then FEED & repeat. This helps stop any PH spikes from building up in the soil through salt accumulation. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. When we are in flower temperature will really play a big role how our buds form up, If our rooms are too cold below 75 they will form very small buds but very very dense. If we grow our buds out at temperature over 80 degrees we get bigger buds, But they can develop airy and foxtail which we do not get much weight from. Also higher temps will defuse the resin glands over time destroying them. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. When we do the pull down, We never want to trim the plant wet or break it down at all. We want to hang it hole in a environment set to 45-50 degrees at 60% humidity for up to 16 days. This allows the plant to break down any potential left over starches or sugars or nutrients within it during this time the plant will produce even more resin & terpenes, This is where you get the true craft cannabis finish. I highly recommend swinging over to youtube & checking us out, Our tutorial series is up to EPISODE 10 right now & EPISODE 11 will be out very shortly so you have got time to go subscribe & get caught up. I hope all of this helps you off to a solid start. Our grow diary tutorial is part of our video tutorial series & both are to be used in conjunction with each other. We are trying to cut out all the non-sense & myth / disinformation and give people a 1 stop source to learn how to do this at a high level, For real.

You have some great looking girls my man. Nice dog 2. You are doing an awful lot for your 1st time. I hope you got some killer dehumidifier gear. You going to be living in a tropical rain forest otherwise. I have marshydro gear. A few other leds. You are missing out on bud density with having your light so far away bro. There's a reason they come with ratchet straps moving with the canopy. Just a tip. Either way you'll get some nice bud as mars lights have a deep reach with ppf. Good luck

@gottagrowsometime,hey thanks for the advice mate, should I lower the light? Light is 50cm above the ladies. Yes i got a good dehumidifier I’m always in the range 45-65, watering every two days with round about 500-600 ml water and I’m using biobizz products. Co2 device is broken so I did a selfmade one witch pushed ppm to a range of 600-800 I rather want a atleast a 1200ppm. Greetings my friend 😊

Pense à defolier légèrement après le stretch sa aidera pour la circulation de l air (histoire d être sur de pas avoir de pouriture) tu peut aussi essayer de ne pas dépasser 50% d humidité et normalement sa devrais le faire :) courageux de faire autant de plante pour le premier grow !! Se n ai pas une critique juste un conseil je précise car certain ne remarque pas la différence
