First Grow Setup Advice From An Expert?
growtopiastarted grow question 5 years ago
Hey all! So I'm going to be starting my first grow on 4/20 and wanted to make preparations in advance! Is my Amazon list + (3) 5 gallon Smart Pots a good starter setup? Any recommendable replacements( like different nute combos for sum top shelf autoflowers) in my included list??

Hate to break the budget a bit here man but that dehumidifier will not cut it in a tent that big. I have a 30 pint vented into my 3x3 tent it and it just barely does it lol. Also is it hot where you live ? You’ll need a little 800watt heater in there if it gets cold. Also a humidifier and a controller for humidity and temperature so you can controls those factors with your equipment. Also go with the 1200 light for your tent, look up the 2000 watt aglex cob series light IMO you’ll need that much for your tent. I’ve got a 1200 watt in my 3x3 tent and I want more 😂 I think with those few items man you’ll have some good ass buds . I also use recipe for success nutrients but there’s lots of good ones to each there own!

I can't give you all the advice you'll need but as a fellow newbie I can say the pH meter you have was awful for me. The pH kit you have comes with drops you can use that are just as good - but I ended up buying a better one from a local grow shop. Also some of the fans you have are battery powered - maybe not intentional, and the medium/soil seems expensive - probably can get it cheaper locally? Also depending on how you're starting you might not need it all day 1.

Smallest plant in the world. When do I pick it? Much faster flowering time to normal plants. (half posting for lols)You'd be hard pressed to find a smaller cannabis plant anywhere in the world.
So.... I had issues with the roots when it was in the rockwool, was going to do DWC, decided to put in soil due to issues.
It's taken like 3 weeks to flower to this stage, not sure when to pick it.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

When to cull a Auto?When two autos seem weeks off from each other should I just cull the runt or keep on?
I get it’s a auto seed and it will end up still producing but I wonder if doing a do over is better than wasting the bills on such a small plant.

Autoflowers with high humidity during night and rot, any solutions for high rh?Hello everyone, today I woke with a plant rot on some parts, that due to the high humidity it got during the night, 88% and 18 celsius.
What are the cheap and effective ways you do to prevent rot?
I was thinking of switching from 18/6 to 24/0 but I don´t want to stress them.
