    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    I've been adding CalMag and oH balancing every watering. I DO have some Nitrogen toxicity happening in one of my plants that I need to figure out. All the others seem happy though. I just started over in my tent. Harvested all but 3 plants, and just planted 8 new ones yesterday. CS from the...

    Can i defoliate a little?

    Yes, you can, but I don't see a point to doing that. It all looks like new growth, and generally, you defoliate to make room for new growth.

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    Ok, so I THOUGHT I was taking pics, but they're missing for some reason. All 4 plants have been chopped and dried. The CS plants: Blueberry 1: 4.2oz White Widow 1: 4.3oz The GH plants: Blueberry 2: 3.86oz White Widow 2: 4.1oz So, in the end, the results are inconclusive. SLIGHT edge to the...

    Sorry for not checking intoner, life has been crazy busy, and I barely have time to water the plants, let alone hang out here. So today was chop day for the Blueberry Chicken Soup plant. The GH one isn't ready yet, but here's what the bounty looks like.

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    Yeah, I was confused by that too. Had to do the calculations a few different ways just to make sure. It seemed like so much more in cc, but sure as shit....it's the same. The big thing for me is that it's SO MUCH EASIER than all the other charts and measurements of the GH system. I'm sure there...

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    I read somewhere, or was told to add Cal/Mag to every watering, so that's what I've been doing. 10ml for my 2gal watering jug every day. That reminds me...I need to order more. I'm adding 30ml of CS to my 2gal pot on "feeding days" plus the cal/mag. I then pH to 6.2-6.6. Here are the girls...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Not much of an update, but everyone is chugging along nicely. I did a big defoliation on every yesterday as everything is in flower right now but for the seedlings. I'm a little off schedule, but that's not a big deal. I'll have PLENTY of bud to harvest in about 5-6 weeks. The auto tent has 5 in...

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    Here's a shot today. The GH girls are catching up, but the CS girls are fully in flower at this point. So I guess we'll have to see what happens with bulk and yield at this point. The GH plants are still a little smaller though.

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    Ugh.....I couldn't water yesterday for a few reasons, and it looks like it was one day too many. Came in this morning to a BUNCH of saggy leaves. Hoping they bounce back today. Gave them all a lot more water than I normally do to completely soak the pots. I normally do about 6gal of water a day...

    The age old question

    That light will do just fine for a 2X4 tent. You have enough room for 2 plants, if you keep them on the small side. Just don't wait too long to flip them to flower, or you could grow autos, as those stay small enough for that footprint most of the time. Good luck, and ask questions!

    i live in texas and i wanted to know what are the chances i get caught if i buy weed seeds online

    I've ordered 6 times from overseas seed banks in the last 6mos, and had one that showed up with a note from customs instead of seeds. The note didn't mention cannabis....but seeds of any kind. I sent a pic to the seedbank and they sent more seeds that did make it. Don't sweat it...at all. I'd...

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    I have the three plants in there, and have the footprint for 4 pots, so the only thing that's really in the way is the hose for the exhaust, and it's in the back of the tent for the most part. Plus, I'm RIGHT against the wall with the sides of the tent, so I don't know where I'd put it. It's a...

    Ok....so the BB plants were hitting the light again. They're not stretching like they were at first, so I thought about it and came up with a solution to get another 8" of height from the light. I moved the carbon filter and fan to the bottom of the tent. This allowed me to put the light at the...

    Nute question: Dr. Jimz "Chicken Soup for the Soil" Opinions?

    Yeah, Lars is great. He and I have been talking back/forth since I got mine. I had the same question about the label. It's different from the one on their website. Question for the experts: Does that Nitrogen seem high? I'm having a nitrogen issue with one of my plants right now, with the...

    Grow light for 4x4?

    https://chilledgrowlights.com/our-products-services/commercial-led-grow-lights/4ft-x-4ft-canopy/growcraft-x6-600w-led-grow-light-commercial-grade If I had to do it over again, and had a better budget, that's the light I'd likely go with. If you're new to growing and just want to make sure you...

    Building my 4X8 Auto-grow tent/room

    The basement was kinda starting to smell when I was doing that before. That's where the kids all play too, so that's a no-no.

    That's exactly what I had to do. Otherwise, I'd be using 5' of wire!

    CptTripps' first grow journal.

    This was helpful advise. I was able to bring the top branched down another 6" after the haircut yesterday. They're already bending themselves back towards the light. Great tip on breaking down the fibers. I'd read that before, but forgot that part until you mentioned it. Checked in on the 3X3...
