    How to maximize yield in a 16x16 (1.5 sq ft)?

    From what I’ve read, Northern Lights is one of the safest strains to go with from Nirvana. Hopefully the genetics will be pretty consistent and stable with this one. Any seed banks or strains you’d recommend? My problem is I’m pretty limited on height with a 4 ft tent and a Quantum Board. NL...

    How to maximize yield in a 16x16 (1.5 sq ft)?

    Yeah, I’m preparing for 3.5 months for the next grow and my current stash being empty for a couple months. I just ordered an under the shelf rack from amazon to try. I’ll try flipping it upside down and putting the water tray underneath it. I’ll just have to cut off the “hooks“. If it works...

    How to maximize yield in a 16x16 (1.5 sq ft)?

    Yeah, I definitely have a lot of things to work on first before upgrading lights. How long are you guys talking about veg’ing? I was thinking 4-5 weeks. That’d put the total grow around 11-13 weeks. I know that’s more a game time decision but I was just wondering what’s typical to fill out a...

    How to maximize yield in a 16x16 (1.5 sq ft)?

    Lol. Waiting on my new seeds to come, then I’ll try FIM’ing and a ScroG. Probably won’t go back to autos, but they worked for my first couple grows. Between doing a FIM/ScroG, having a larger pot, and it not being an auto, I think I’ll get a much better yield. If I don’t get what I want...

    How to maximize yield in a 16x16 (1.5 sq ft)?

    That’s what I’m shooting for. At least 2. This’ll be my first non-auto so I think this next grow will give me a much better idea. It really is a great, very discrete setup. I just need to get the yield up to par.

    How to maximize yield in a 16x16 (1.5 sq ft)?

    I’ll have to look around at supplemental light options. Any specific recommendations here? My only problem is a lack of space for the supplemental lights. I’m thinking I could zip tie some t5 tubes to the corner poles, and as long as I can keep the leaves far enough from them, that should work.

    How to maximize yield in a 16x16 (1.5 sq ft)?

    Thanks for the tips. It sounds like FIM'ing is definitely the way to go. If I got 3oz, that'd be amazing. I thought that might be a little much for my 65w QB and looked at upgrading, but I figured I'd try to optimize everything else first.

    How to maximize yield in a 16x16 (1.5 sq ft)?

    First off, I'm working with a 16x16x48 tent in the closet right now - will eventually have more space to work with, but for now this is what I have. I've completed 2 grows in this space, and while the quality has been excellent, my yields have been lacking, so I'm looking for some advice. For...

    First Grow - CFL Micro Grow - Northern Lights Auto

    Thought I should update this thread. I harvested around 9 weeks. Didn't measure the dry weight, but I estimate it was around 1/2 oz. Very frosty, but not very dense. By the time it finished curing for a few weeks, it was a great smoke - just wish I had more of it :bigjoint: I'm already on...

    Day 55; I was a little worried that the buds weren’t getting much thicker for a while, but I think she’s finally starting to thicken up a little. Also getting a lot more resin now. Flushed her out really well a few days ago to try and help with the leaves yellowing, and I’m only giving her...

    How’d your harvest turn out then? Good yield and smoke? I’m assuming you’ve had time to try them by now?

    First Grow - CFL Micro Grow - Northern Lights Auto

    So a bit of an update.... Plant is at week 7 tomorrow. Looking great and buds are forming and starting to look pretty tasty. I do have a small issue though that could possibly get out of hand. The bottom leaves have been yellowing and dying off. This is to be expected closer to harvest, but...

    I've seen it recommended in quite a few different places and thought it was actually pretty cheap - I only paid around $25 for it and it should last a while. After a little research, I think I'll definitely be going with the 65w QB led for my next grow. The reviews and results people seem...

    Looking awesome man. I can't wait til mine get to that point. I'm convinced that the biggest struggle with you first grow is impatience lol It's time to feed my girl. I'm using Fox Farms btw. I'm at day 35 and this will be my 2nd time feeding her. The first time I overfed her and noticed...

    First Grow - CFL Micro Grow - Northern Lights Auto

    I thought about that, but my only option would be to remove the 2 45w 5500k bulbs and replace them with 2 23w 1700k bulbs, and I opted for the higher wattage. Would you still replace the bulbs even if it meant reducing the wattage? I only have 4 sockets btw, and don’t have enough space to...

    I actually removed that one as soon as I finished posting that - it was definitely the right thing to do. I had originally planned to only do 1 plant. I planted 2 at first and figured I was going to give 1 away, and then planted another a few days afterwards because one took a while to sprout...

    I'll definitely have to do some research into LED's here. That will be my next light for sure. Thanks again for the tips. My next 2 grows will also be NL auto as I have 2 more seeds left (bought from ILGM btw) and haven't seen anything more appealing yet. Anyway, with this grow, I'll...

    First Grow - CFL Micro Grow - Northern Lights Auto

    Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely look into it! I honestly haven't really done a ton of research into LED's yet. The light I was referring to probably is one of the Chinese-made lights you mentioned. It's the 300w ViparSpectra LED light on Amazon: Search ASIN B01B4GQ6MO on Amazon (can't...

    Yeah, I definitely could use more space. Unfortunately, although it probably wouldn't be a huge deal, there's other people in the house I'd prefer didn't know about my new hobby lol. So I'm growing in the closet for now. Might buy a 16x16 tent that's 4ft high and invest in a quality 300w LED...

    Looking good! I'm guessing mine are probably only 1-2 weeks from looking like that. What strain are yours and how far along?
