Light going through the bucket
JoseTodoLocostarted grow question 4 years ago
I notice that light might be coming through the bucket. Not sure if this could be a problem, I think I will be doing something to cover the bucket. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance.

Algae will defintely start gorwing over 90-100+ days.. or even a shorter run with an autoflower. That'll steal O2 and N at the least. Roots aren't a fan of light, either.
if you have a swap out and clean system, this may not be a big deal, if cleaned often enough, but roots still don't like light and however that might impact your grow remains.
Tape some aluminum foil around it? cardboard.. anything. spray paint the outside black might work?

Buy some thick posterboard and wrap it around the bucket. I recommend white so it doesn't heat up your bucket. Ideally, you could spray paint it, but probably not easy to do mid grow.

Yeah, cover the bucket with something that don't let light through.. Roots do not like light,

White mold?My smart pot is turning white at the bottom. There also appears to be roots trying to pop through. I put rocks between the pot and plate for air. I have one blade of grass and a tiny weed popping up, so conditions at the top of the pot are okay. Should be worried?5 years ago

What's happening with this seedling?Hey guys!
So, I'm having some doubts with one of my seeds, as it looks like it sprouted upside down. Can't see any cotyledones, or even signs of the seed, that's what make me believe it's upside down. Any ideas?
RH in the tent has been quite low, around 15/20%.
thanks!5 years ago

ID this pest - bulb mite?Trouble in paradise. Issues with new growth on a few plants in my 2nd tent. Rather suddenly. Past experience lead me to suspect a pest eating my roots (no, not a deficiency). Checked soil. Bingo. Bulb mite? Best way to attack issue? I have 3 weeks before these go outdoors. Neem?5 years ago

Hey guys! started week 5! She’s looking great, nice and healthy. I’m concerned with the amount of roots growing out the bottom of the pot, should I be worried about this? Or would this be where the roots self prune and this encourages more root growth within the pot? Thanks!Week 5

Outdoor ideasQuick question to any guerrilla growers: I have found an ideal location that’s good for light and hidden. But when I dig the soil down about 1ft water starts to appear, any ideas because I really don't want to have to give up the location because of it...

Should I repot at day 18?Should I repot to a pot of 15-20l? I'm kinda regretting I planted it in a pot with +-4l of soil. I want to plant her out in full ground around week 5 when the belgian weather starts getting milder, and I'm not sure if it's worth repotting now for another 2-3w, given the risk.5 years ago
