Germination
4 years ago
Please no hate as it s my first grow. Placed my seeds in a cup of water for 24h, then in a moist paper towel in a ziplock bag for 24h. After that all of my seeds germinated succesfully. Also, i know i stuffed way too many plants in this small tent, but as it s my first i had no ideea how it works so i thought more plants=more yield.

I think they experienced some heat stress in the first days of veg as i had no humidifier and kept my tent closed , did not have a thermometer yet and i think this hps light got the temps up 30 C +. Also the little one is just an experiment:)I am open for any advice as this is my first and i am very unexperienced

You need a saucer under each one of a tray and buy a cheap water vac with at least a 5L wet capacity. Makes life so much easier than moving plants around. I got one recently and god knows why I didn’t get one years ago. If you want to spend more than that you can get a automated system that will remove the run off but easy enough with a water vac. Happy growing buddy👍

Any tips on how to grow the best yield the quickest in my 60x60x160 tent(2x2x5) ? It’s my first grow and i went with 4 11 L pots filled 3/4 and 1 1.5 L just for fun and to have some buds faster perhaps xD. From what i read online seems like SOG method would do.No ideea how . Ty💪

If it's your first grow I'd advise ya to just let it grow naturally, watch and learn. No point runnin before ya can walk ya know, but it is your choice my man. Not sure how well scrogs work with autos because you cant get them big enough for a decent scrog in the 3 wks they veg for before they start to flower. If they're 3 wks now then you should be seein some pistils which means it's already started flowering.

Para mí el truco es, siempre usar un 10% de la capacidad de la maceta para regar, máximo un 20% (depende sobre todo de la temperatura que haga en tu ciudad, entre otras cosas), e ir tanteando, para que entre riego y hayan como 3 días (dos riegos a la semana) Saludos espero te sirva. Reafirmo lo del compañero, autos nada de transplantes, siembra directa en maceta definitiva siempre. Saludos

If you check tricomes that's a better guess but anytime from now on thoe of wait until they visually stop filling out then I'd harvest providing tricomes are more milky than Amber... but 1 week and they should be done

CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hi there AllTheGreen, first, i'm impressed with your first grow, i'm sure if you join the Newbie contest you will be very competitive ! Second for light mix, i would not recommend it, light mix is peat moss which is first of all unsustainable the way it's mined. Second it's a sterile medium so you have to add your own beneficial bacteria to your medium, it just doesnt make much sense. Third it retains quite a lot of water for quite a long time. That seems like a good thing, but it's really not, it will lead to water stress, some extra difficulty with water mold in the root zone etc. Plus cannabis plants really like wet dry cycles, the quicker the better, that's why coco works so well, and so much better. One thing i do that you can do is to get light mix and soil , then layer your pot. So you start with something on the bottom to do drainage, then mix your light mix with perlite (30%) and your soil with perlite (also 30%) separately , then do one layer light mix, one layer soil, one layer lightmix, one layer soil, seven times or so. That way you have the benefits of light mix and perlite and soil at the same time. The end product just tastes better. For the rest, like biobizz nutrients, they're not my favorite but they're also not the worst, it should be fine to work with it , i'm sure you will do fine. Just one recomendation , when you make your nutrient plant, choose one NPK , always use calmag, and use an additive also, like humic acid, beneficial bacteria, or enzymes. Hope this helps ! 🚀

After some more research I come here yet again for your help. I now have some interest in Biotabs products and want any advice on what’s the best soil for biotabs starterpack. I was thinking of starting in smaller pots with Biobizz lightmix then transplanting into Biobizz allmix
Solved

Organomananswered grow question 4 years ago
Don't use them. Bio Bizz light mix is crap too, not enough nutrients, that is why they have to push the tabs to make their soil adequate. The tabs require your soil to be constantly moist to work properly and as we all know, cannabis does not like soggy feet. Plus they are really random in what they release and when, so not ideal for peak performance and are probably best used by people who can't or won't lift a watering can. Buy some proper nutrients for grow and bloom cycles and then you can tailor your plants nutrition to what stage it is at, rather than feeding something that is adequate all the time, but not really correct at any time. Far better to use a three way blend of Sunshine all purpose planting mix, Scotts potting soil and Supersoil potting soil or a half and half blend of Fox Farm Ocean Forest and Happy Frog. You get either a Happy Ocean or Forest Frog this way! For super simple feeding with one bottle for grow and one for bloom, B.A.C. make Organic Grow and Organic Bloom and they are both Vegan! Otherwise my favourite super simple mix is Bio Vega and Bio Flores made by Bio Canna, but half strength is plenty powerful enough. Another great product is made by GHE and is their pair of Flora Nova Grow one part and Flora Nova Bloom one part, also a complete fertilizer system for each stage of growth or flower. Add some seaweed tonic, an organic P/K booster (B.A.C.) and something with fulvic/humic/amino acids (or all 3 for best results), and you can't go wrong. Another thing I recently trialled and was super impressed with was "Mykos" made by Xtreme Gardening and is available most anywhere and on eBay too, this product is awesome for soil cultivation! It is basically a probiotic beneficial bacteria that increases nutrient uptake and I was surprised at how much less feeding was required for plants that were given these mycorrhizae. They live a symbiotic relationship with the plants roots and certainly are effective. All 3 nutrient ranges I recommended are all very concentrated, meaning very little of each is needed, therefore one bottle of whichever will last many, many plants, making them quite economical in the long run. I have found half strength Bio Vega for growth and full strength Flora Nova Bloom one part to be a winning combination, but the B.A.C. stuff works just as well. I have a bottle of each of these nutrients and feed them in rotation throughout the cycle, that is , once with Bio Vega, once with Flora Nova and once with Organic Grow, but I am a bit OCD and using just one product is more the enough if you don't want to buy 6 products. I also at times, will blend my nutrients, giving half this and half that or a third of each at one feeding, due to FOMO, combined with my OCD. Remember, you only get out what you put in. Grow economically and you get economical buds. Use premium ingredients and you get premium plants! Hope this helps,........... Organoman.

Exhaust fan is ideal, no need for any other fan. Also, keep them in the dark, any direct light shining on your harvested flowers will degrade THC quite quickly. Hope this helps,......... Organoman.
