Wow your grow looks insane I'm just putting my first grow together if I end up with crop like yours I'd b so happy most likely won't b like yours as I know sweetfa about growing I'm just jumping in deep end I've bought all the equipment and have materials to build a tent I'm germinating seeds tomorrow in heated seed tray with light while the seedling grows I finish my tent so it's ready when my plants come out of seed tray and go in room I've really just jumped in the deep end as I have to learn everything about growing I've got so many questions and need all the help I can get I germinated 5 regular seeds I had a bit of trouble with leaves going yellow but learnt it's about water or nutrients to much or to little ended up being nutrient sick plants needed nutrients I read and if they don't get what they need that's what the leaves do curl up yellow and die wasn't sure which nutrient I needed so I just looked for a fertiliser that had all the ingredients to make a plant healthy dynamic upliftes did the trick water the pebbles into soil so roots got all goodness three days later and they came back strong and healthy no more dying and miscolourd shining leaves was so happy brought em back only to have three of them turn male the other two are waiting for sexing do female plants take longer to show them selves or does it happen around the same time so glad I got autos now no more mails hey can I put 4 or 5 different strains in same tent growing side by side or can different strains affect other strains in a negative way the same as females can turn to seed if male is around or is whether it is female or a male the only real disaster that happens when growing other than power going out ,letting light get in my tent near the baby's when ment to b sleeping ,water to much or not enough, or u don't pay enough attention to them and they get cold or hot the humidity is all over the place and they go into shock same as transplanting it shocks the roots seeing day light and having root system out of its home in the ground I don't even like transplanting pots the last one I did was one of the males I just ripped up and when I put it in its new home a bigger pot all the leaves couldn't hold em selfs up the whole plant is just droopy as fuck I really thought there was no coming back from shocking it that bad but couple of quite days more water than normal and introducing the fertiliser into my plants life and it was like magic one day I'm looking at it thinking we had to bury it it's cruel to keep it living and the very next one after a thunder storm which threw em around a bit more and hail came down but we ended up rescuing them taking them to my house and putting them out of the rain the next morning when I brought them out again I noticed the plants were standing a bit taller/straighter back then a few hours later when I happen past the spot where the plant lives I nearly fall over backwards it was like the plant had a big injection of steroids it had gone from smallest to tallest and the second biggest bushy plant I had I thought for sure it was going to be a huge female but then we seen the sacks and realised we actually had a monster male on our hands I was shattered but not as much as I was when I found two more males only left me two females well I hope still early days could still b males that would b just my luck germinate 5 big bushy plants and they all turn to shit that's why I acquired 7 auto,s if the other two stay female aswell iv got up to 9 good seeds cost me big money to buy but I need them to learn how to grow proper hydro, and to actually come out on top would b mad and to b able to do it of my own back, dreams do come true I'm keen and eager to learn I don't mind making a fool of my self cos I know fuck all about all this growing business these are the fist plants I've ever grown and then they help me grow themselves as I need all the help I can get ,I wasn't ment to b a farmer I don't really want to be a farmer but fuck I'll do the work if it means I get some fat juicey buds and I'm loving learning all about it I want to learn everything u watch I'll make myself into one of the best around here as ive been told u learn this shit properly and I mean all of it cloning ,all the different ways u can grow it ,how and what to do to manipulate your grow to get best and biggest yealds but iv got no idea where to start except for what I'm doing I'm throwing up the walls of the tent fix lights on chains so I can move it up or down,fan,air-conditioning,humidifier,thermometer, drip system ,heater everything I need to keep the perfect temperature in the tent I'm a pretty fast learner watch out cos I'll prob b competing with u for best results before long my long term goal is to get 4 or 5 really strong strains 20+ THC then grow inside recirc dripper delivers water/nutrients to the plants when roots have taken what goodness they need excess water drains through the medium and goes back to resourvouir where all Ur nutrient solution is being held and will stay good as long as u don't let any light in and water is always moving stops it getting stagnant I still have to learn how to read water and soil tester so I can learn how to pH the water and how to measure what nutrients u need, how to tell what's in there what chemicals and salt and contaminates are lurking in bad water I'm just going to buy 50ltr of distilled water pH that and u should have no contaminates in they water as distilled is pure well as pure as ull ever find water what are Ur thoughts is it a must I get purified or distilled water or do u think tap water is sufficient to grow plants as long as u pH it and remove every thing u can from water you'll always have chemicals in tap water comes from dams making it into drinking water chemically purified water normally chlorine or bleach of some sort I don't know how it's good for us let alone plants I guess it's not strong enough to poison humans but plants won't b that lucky I'm only guessing, that's why I'm asking Ur advice there's got to b a reason why every one swears by phed water, not just distilled or spring wAter they say it has to b done 💯 or ull end up with less yeald and no where near as good as buds but what if it's just in our heads that tap water fucks grows maybe water is water and were actually doing fuck all to decontaminate the water just pH it I'd also boil it so no do I spend fifty on pure water or do I go in kitchen and start boiling water how pure does boiling water get does it really purify the water or just tell ya what u want to hear as I'd rather boil it than spend money on water oh what about dam or river the got to b fresh and pure what do u think I'm just a dumb cunt ATM but this is how I learn by talking and asking questions ,I hate utube learn by watching video comes in handy but not the same if vid eo is missing some info or u need something explained more in depth your shit out of luck plus they just tell u what to do not why u have to or what happens if u don't there's no understanding just orders and that's dangerous any way I've been writing to u for hours sorry but had to pick someone's brain and after seeing Ur crop I thought this person is doing what I want to do and there doing it easy by the look of it so I choose u to help me I promise I don't normally talk this much but a touch drunk I am

im just putting my room together when u set up a recirculating drip system do you have to have another tray on top of your reservoir or can u just have your plants on top of the reservoir and the drip system just recircs the water back into the reservoir rather than having a drip tray or do i have to have a drip tray emptying back into reservoir just trying to work out best and easiest way to set up a drip feeding system any help well be muchly appreciated also if i have a fan inside the tent with an exhaust fan up top with air purifier will that create enough air circulation to keep plants healthy or do i really need an inlet fan as well as i have every thing i need but an inlet fan just want to know if its a must or not as the fan inside blows air around
