@XiceX Definate get some Diatomaceous Earth and use it on the surface of the soil It will inhibit the thrips from being there.

Nothing will help out of folk methods. Before each new cycle, the box must be disinfected. And sterilize the soil at high temperatures. On vegetation, you can use a contact insecticide, not systemic, which is absorbed into the plant. Good luck!🤝

Sadly bugs are always a worry when using soil as a medium. A lot of pests hate hot peppers. Grind up some ghost peppers or scotch bonnets and make a shake. Give each plant a healthy dose. See if that helps..

4/5 of my plants have been flowering for 2 weeks on a 20/4 cycle, while 1 remains in the vegetative state. Should I try and induce flowering by switching to a 12/12 cycle? If so will it effect my other plants?

Does this look good to you? Any help is appreciated because it is my first grow. I also think that this is growing pretty slow. If you look at the picture is my plant small or not? I planted the seed 14 days ago

Hello. This is my first grow. This is day 35 from clone transplant. I have a scrog built at 15" from the soil level. Do I need to reduce this for my current plant height as shown in the pictures? I don't fully understand the stretching I will get with Sativa-dominant?

I'm concerned for one of my Dark Devil seeds, it seems to be heavily stunted and I really don't know why🤔 the soil was all mixed together so it's a uniform batch. What should I do with it? I'm only asking because it's taking up a lot of space being in a 5 gallon pot.

Because HBBS took so long to germinate, I decided to germinate another. Within 24 hours of germinating the new seed, HBBS cracked and grew a tail so I decided to plant it. Is the new seed still usable given it's cracked (no tail yet)?

So I tried the 24 hrs of darkness and still nothing. I keep defoliating her and she keeps growing. I’m running out of room inside. Would putting her outside in 4C at night and 15C during the day keep her in veg or kill her?.

Hey guys. Seems this one is a bit slow compared to her Sis. Could this be of the soil mix in the final pot that I transplanted it in? It's in about 60% peat moss/Perlite (Pindstrup brand) and about 20 % forest soil, 10% sifted cow manure and 10% cow manure ash.

Do you guys know any tricks to get my plant to grow taller? Goal is to increase space in between nodes. I've tried raising the LEDs to 30 inches for a few days. Also tried leaving it in complete darkness for 24 hours.
