My First Grow

@JewishBuds, lol! Noted for future *dude* lol

@TheBudWhisperer, haha I just realized my avatar was a girl. I'm a dude. If I lived in a state that allowed it, that would be another story.

@JewishBuds, that super sucks then.... the stigma around weed is silly and it’s a shame you have to hide it. If my in laws weren’t already doing it on occasion and cool about it I’d tell em to suck it! Hopefully the harvest still turns out for u! Best of luck girl! 👍👊👍👊

@JewishBuds, regarding the books, all Ed Rosenthal, Jorge Cervantes and Greg Green books are great, can't go wrong with any of them. Regarding the bugs, I wouldn't spray anything on my buds and spraying with something more powerful once they start flowering sounds very wrong. You can use whatever you want in veg because most of it doesn't leave residue for more than a month but again, be careful what you use. Ladybugs are great solution for most of the pests ;)

@bobo420, Any books in particular that you recommend? I think I’m doing ok so far, feel like they seem to be a couple of days behind most other plants I see on here. But no too bad. I’m also dealing with a little mealybugs or anphin problem. I was instructed to use Safer’s Insect Killing Soap and I’ve only used it a couple of times so far. The place where I get my equipment from says I should be concerned till the plants start budding and by then I can use something more powerful if they aren’t gone. Does that sound right?

@JewishBuds, if you have any issues or problems, feel free to message me when ever you want. In the meantime, my advice would be to read a book or two about growing, it will help a lot

@bobo420, Thanks man. The guy I get my equipment from was pretty impressed with this being my first go round, even though I’ve seen waaaay better on here. It just sucks that I might have to cut this short. I only have 4 1/2 more weeks till I gotta break down the tent and haven’t found a place outside for them to finish off.

@ToadieK, I don’t know if they’re springtails or fungus gnats. They don’t seem to be harming the plant. I’ve done 2 rounds so far of Gnatrol and have been told is can’t take 2 or 3 treatments to get rid of them. If that doesn’t work I’ll keep you posted on my next form of action.
