Algae growing in water reservoir
Meeechstarted grow question 6y 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

Select what's wrong with my White Widow!-Over/under watering? I use a meter and the "knuckle" method, as well as pot weight to determine if it's time for watering.-

Moving her from inside to outsideI will put her outside as soon as weather is good enough in a few weeks. Direct sun from approx 9:30AM till 6:30PM. Now at 20/4 under CFL. will it stress her? Do I have to ease her into this or just move her directly? Aim for putting her out during veg or flower? TIAWeek 3

Ready for harvest?Any ideas about when to harvest? I only have available pictures taken with my phone with a magnifier app. Maybe some amber trichomes, maybe not. The plant is now 92 days old, pistils are mostly purple and, bad news, some spider mites started attacking her 🤬

Is my plant in Veg?First time grower but really trying to learn, still not afraid to ask a noob question.
Is my plant in veg? When does veg start? When do you start counting veg days/weeks? I’ve read a lot of conflicting info.
