We put these girls through a lot. This was our very first grow and it took awhile to dial everything in. From underwatering to over-nuting, I'm surprised we have any kind of harvest. Buds are decent with some good sized colas but many popcorn buds, due to our lack of training. Still happy with the end results. She smokes smooth with a bit of berry on the aftertaste.

Reviews. Lamp
We love our light but didn't know how powerful it is. We would never recommend 100% but strongly recommend a par meter. We think too high of light setting caused the girls some issues. They recovered nicely once we dialed the lights down.
Reviews. Tent
We love our tent! I couldn't imagine growing without it. We're now thinking of getting another one for drying.

Yes, trimming is exciting at first, but then becomes a chore, especially when you're trying to jar them up as soon as possible. The odor from the garbage bag is overwhelming with dank! It's hard to chop them up when you've spent so much time with them.

Grow Questions

KikiMinnekannabisstarted grow question a year ago
Should we add a CO2 bag to our growing tent? Do they add value to the plants or is it a gimmick? Our local big box store has them in stock. The one's from the mega online place has bad reviews (bags arriving already activated).

Migrow u tube just did test on co2, but yea co2 bags are waste of money from what ive heard they make no measurable impact plus ur introducing something into the enviroment. I wudnt use them but check out his recent vid on comparing with or with out. He had whole co2 setup he tested. Its interesting

We found white powder on the fans and carbon exhaust but not on the girls. Found out it was from using our hard tap water in the humidifier. Has anyone used the humidifier capsules to reduce the minerals in tap water or do we go back to buying distilled water? Thx!

You can't use tap water in a humidifier if it's hard water. You'll clog up your carbon filters and make a dusty mess all over the place. Only RO, or distilled water can be used.

Looking great! I'm running SLH from ILGM as well, just started into week 3 of flowering. It's one of those nostalgic strains for me that I'm quite familiar growing. Anyways I thought I'dgive my 2 cents on your past questions. I too have chalky hard water. You could easily buy a cheap distiller to solve it. I bought mine for around $ 80 online. One of my best investments yet. Easily have already gotten my ROI on it. Over 180 gallons made thusfar. Has tons of other applicable uses. Easy to do before bed and before work. Hell of a lot better to clean distiller than humidifier. Just run a cycle using citric acid when buildup gets too heavy and it's like new. I also collect & filter rainwater for plants because of it & I ain't ever using anything else. As far as CO2... well worth the investment in a quality setup. After introducing it into my grow mid veg... I seen my growth rate dramatically increase. Instead of doubling in size during first 2 weeks of flower my slh has tripled. Not sure if it's directly correlated to the CO2 alone... but I feel it is as all the branches near my lines stretched better than those that weren't. It's seriously shaping up to be my best grow yet for maximizing space, even though I've absent from the scene for over a decade. Good luck with your harvest!

Really Nice set up for a newbie lol, good luck on the grow! I would start reading into micro/grow/bloom, from what ever company you think is best. I would be starting to hit them with nutes. also read into the defoilation methods to create your own pruning regime through the plants life cycle to help free up space and focus the plants energy on certain parts. Lots of other training methods but you should just chill and enjoy your set up the first time around in "my opinion". Also there are many ways to skin a cat, do what works best for you!

Are you using the Photone app? Helped me make sure i was within range on the DLI chart for lighting power.

@KikiMinnekannabis,oh right on they are photos? The DLI Chart for Photo’s say 45ish for week 6 and after you flip em 25-36 for the next four weeks. Good luck down the stretch!!

@AznAutoMN, I turned the light intensity down to 50%. These are not autoflowers. I think you're right, though. We didn't start seeing problems until we raised the light percentage. Worse case is we just veg a little bit longer before flipping. I want them to be healthy first.

@KikiMinnekannabis, That is WAY too high. Google “DLI chart: Autoflower” week 6 should be at 45-55 DLI. I’d be at around 45-46 if I were you. Make sure you have a paper diffuser around the top of your phone when you have the app open towards the light.

Nice grow. But you will learn that ILGM has trash genetics. Youre better off with seed banks like neptune, north Atlantic Seed Company or deeply rooted seed bank. Even seedsman is hands down better quality than ilgm. Not trying to be negative...
