just started my grow about three weeks ago. One Ak-48 and one Afghan gold
Ak-48 blew up Afghan gold took a little while so it's a little smaller but it should catch up.
Fox farm ocean forest soil with the dirty dozen pack. I'm planning on getting the kelp me kelp you bottle they supply also because as a foiliar spray I was told is pretty good. I I want to start two mothers out of these then take 10 cuttings off of each one into one gallon grow bags and grow single colas because they grow fast in a small space and I want that easy method instead of starting from seems because them seeds ain't cheap. I got them off of the single seed center I also got blue mistic and short rider. Any tips please I need them all. I have grown from bag seed two times b4 this in a hot attic. I can't get my weed to not smell like hay. And it's fluffy as fuck. Likes there are more red hairs then weed. I'm growing in a 3x3 tent with a 250 watt metal hd. This is for my mothers then I have a 600 watt hps in a 4x4 tent for my single colas. Any advice ? I can't take anything! Just spill ur guts. I want to stick with organic because of the taste but is it really that much of a difference and if done right can I get more bud then someone with synthetic?

You need more ventilation. Also read up on proper drying and curing.

Thank you for replying , last time I dried them way to much then tried curing my second grow I didn't dry them enough and tried curing I got mold. But on some of the ones that didn't get it they actually smelled like some decent weed

It should take 5-7 days to dry. I like to dry at 70 F and 55 rh with indirect air movement. Final trim and jarring when stems crack but dont break. Burping jars as needed. If big colas, sweat in a bag. Boveda packs ftw

I kept it around 50-55% the whole way through it took about a week for each plant. And in my grow room I only had two little small fans in getting a bigger fan in there soon. But rn I only have two seedlings about 8" tall I am really trying to grow some good "loud" I don't want this ass headbuzzing reg. And I didn't chop down with the trichimes I chopped down around like 70% red hairs. I'm trying to do everything right this time. I'm getting a 420 scope.

Are you still in an attic? You need some vent pipe directed in and out of roof vents with squirrel cage or inline fans

That's the beauty of this hobby nothing is ever perfect. Just when you think you got it down you get humbled a attic is always going to be hot and the plants always almost like cooler Temps so there goes perfect. As far as kelp goes see if you can get a freeze dried powder it will save you heaps of money and you just mix with water, I'm in Australia and I get ecoseeweed but I'm sure that brand isn't there and it is a great foliar spray and tonic for the roots as it contains low N and high potassium 14% and trace minerals and elements. Good luck

I have two tents now with inline air cooled tubing with a 6" inline fan hooked up. My temps are about 24-27 Celsius between day and night. I don't know when I should start feeding and with what? Should I just go with the schedule and only start at 1/4 dose ? And should I use everything they have ? I have it all I just don't k ownif using all those different nutes at the same time will burn my soil

They are about three-4 weeks old and are in like they're forth node. They are really healthy looking except for two lower leaves have yellow spots and they have had it for the whole grow but nothing else has it.

I've got some AK48 fem I haven't had a chance to pop yet.

Next time use a hygrometer in a cure jar to see what you're readings are so you know how frequent to burp them or leave them open. Once they hold at 60-62rh you don't need to burp as much. After two weeks I toss a Bodeva 62 in there and they turn out great. I use this hygrometer. Is small and very accurate. I did a salt test and a Bodeva test with the 62 pack and with a 1% adjustment it reads accurately. https://www.amazon.com/Caliber-Digital-Hygromter-Western-Humidor/dp/B00JXOKQVW
