    Fans on Outdoor Plants?

    Anybody run fans on their outdoor plants? My 2023 outdoor crop was devastated by bud rot. Two things made matters worse, tropical storm Hilary brought late season rain, high humidity, and 90 degrees, and my plants grew huge and overcrowded. Total loss. This year I plan to put down plastic...

    Another ILGM Feminized Gone Hermie. Grrrrrr!

    I bought 5 feminized Tropicana Cookies and 5 GSC Extreme seeds last year from ILGM. I had two in my 4x4 ready to finish this week. One must have dropped some male flowers that I missed…until it was too late. The entire tent was seeded. Even the two GSC Extreme, full of immature seeds. The whole...

    Complete Indoor 4x4 Set UP, Gorilla, 2 HLG 350 Diablos, AC Infinity, etc. Central or So Calif

Gorilla Tent 4'x4'x7' 11", with 2 sets of negative pressure support bars. 2 HLG 350 Diablo, in the boxes, with hangers and daisy...

    Drying Solution

    Last year, due to super low humidity and warm weather, my harvest dried in 3 days. It destroyed the quality of the smoke. This year it's been raining and my drying shed humidity is 85% plus. I can't dry it in the grow tent because the two sativas are at least two weeks from harvest. Plus, I...

    Sativa and Indica in the Same 4x4, Ugh.

    Growing 4 plants in a 4x4x8. Two are indica and two are sativa. Growing outside I never considered the height difference. I know the differences, but I thought I could make it work by double topping and trellis training the sativa. Everything was going great until week three from flip. The...

    Can I Change 12/12 Cycle Time, Day 3 from Flip?

    I flipped three days ago from 4pm-10am (18/6) lights on to 8pm-8am 12/12. I see now that it would be more convenient for me to water, prune, etc, if the 12/12 lights-on period was 6pm-6am. Is it a problem to make that 2 hour adjustment 3 days from flip? I don't want hermits. Thanks again...

    Bringing Temp Up in 4x4

    I'm having trouble keeping my lights-on temps above 70F with the extract fan on even just one click. If I leave the air-in fan on and turn the extract fan off it stays at around 75F. The tent balloons with positive pressure, and my workshop smells WONDERFUL, but the smell is not an issue. Is...

    Do You Spray Neem Oil Inside the Tent or Pull the Plants Out?

    Do you guys pull your plants out of the tent to spray neem, or just spray them inside??? Mites can show up occasionally in my outdoor grow, but wasps, lady bugs, and a good spray with clean water tend to keep them away. My first tent grow. I know I need preventative measures in my tent and...

    Culling...Judge, Jury, and Executioner :(

    I had to cull a perfectly healthy and happy plant in her first week of veg today. That was a surprisingly tough task. First tent grow. I set up a 4x4x8 to grow four plants in 7 gal fabric pots. The fans, SS drain tray, drip system, even four Diablo Quantum Board LEDs, all configured for four...

    Better to Force in More Cool Air or Crank up the Exhaust Fan

    After multiple outdoor grows, I finally tired of budrot, catapillars, and a thieving gardener. I bit the bullet, opened my wallet, and thanks to all of your good information, set up a dialed-in grow tent. Just popped some seeds in the tent yesterday. I want to bring my lights-on temp down a few...
