Algae growing in water reservoir
Meeechstarted grow question 4 years ago
Tonight I discovered the beginning stages of algae growing at the bottom of the water bucket I kept within the tent. As far as I know, the bucket was clean around a week ago when I filled it up last. With both plants getting this water for a few days, should I be concerned?

If algae is growing inside your bucket/reservoir then it’s being exposed to too much light. If you take it outside of the tent this problem should be eradicated.
It may not hurt the plants but algae can compete for nutrients inside of a container plant. Nothing too crazy to worry about though!

Hey you don’t have to be concerned about algae. If you can you can clean it out and and start fresh again. I always got a little bit growing in my reservoir. I did do some research and it won’t hurt the plant or roots. It is just gross and sticky when it builds up.
Happy growing

around what yield per plant might i expect...?I know it's not a consistent number, but does anyone with more grow experience know if there's a good chance I can get over an oz per plant? since they're still not close to being done stretching? this photo is from day 4 of flower, after a decent pruning/defoliation.

Pollensacs in Week 3I just found a Pollensac on Pheno #1 and I want to know if I should remove it now because I don’t want any issues in the future and I don’t want to destroy the plant (I could bring it outside but that would be my last option)

Question regarding humidityCurrently, the humidity in my tent is ~55%. The plants are in the early flowering stage, so I am worried about mold. Does anyone know if the humidity is too high or can provide a solution without an electric dehumidifier?

Contest curiosityFor those who have experience in contests:
How do they work? I assumed that a 2 week timer that runs out would result in someone winning lol. Isn’t that why the timer is there or am I an idiot? I feel like it should be specified somewhere if not to prevent confusion for new ppl

Should I wait to flip?Since I just transplanted and amended my soil using gaia green amendments and geared them towards veg. I know the general rule is to allow 2 weeks for them organic amendments to break down, will that deter me from flipping to flower next week or should I wait if so how long?
