4 plant Hempy bucket.48sq.ft. Now 3kW HPS! 4/6/8wk Veg.

Got my order in for 20 White Widow beans today.

Just recently found out the girlfriend has Endometriosis, and she's not one to take pills, so even though we live in a non-legal state she has decided to use cannabis to manage the pain. That's why we are growing so many strains out to see which ones work.

From the reviews I've read, I'm pretty sure this Widow is going to be the first strain that takes up a permanent spot in the tents from here on out.

Now the search to find 7 more...

A few update pics...

Flower tent




SW1 Wk5



Veg tent.
2 of the 4 new seedlings have broken soil. I expect the other 2 to do so in 24-36hrs.

Amazing Amazing Amazing. Your SW1 is only at week 5? WOAW and the pics of it at 24 days of 12/12 are just wondeful.

150% Respect to your setup, And my plant at week 4 just started looking like your SW1 at 24 days

You're definitely my favourite grower here on Rolitup!

Thanks.
I take no credit at all. Once I got things setup and changed to megacrop, everything has been soooooo easy. I haven't had to change feed amounts. I keep the lights @ 60k Lux otherwise I get bleaching. The only thing I have to do is make sure they don't dry out. I let 1 go about 1/2 day too long and it really showed.

Definitely happy I went with HPS and Hempy. It's the perfect setup for me.
Just can't wait to get 8 into flower now

Of course after I say everything is going fine I woke up to brown spots on lower leaves. So I added in 5ml per gallon of CalMag into the feed mix.

Quick note.
Started using UVB light on SW1 last night. 1hr total. On for 30. Off for 30. On for 30 right in the middle of lights on. I will give it a few days to see what happens and increase time-on incrementally.

I plan to try and push it to where UVB is running for 6hrs a day @ the end of flower if the plants can take it...

This is all from ilgm? Just purchased some auto of kush then started reading all these mixed reviews, haven’t received anything yet though it’s only been a couple days so I’m not stressed yet. wanted to find someone who had a super reputable profile and you seemed to me the most legit, am I in good hands or did I just get ripped off? Sorry for the newbie question

You didn't get ripped off.
I'm guessing 99% of the people who say ILGM suck have never grown a seed from them.
It's just some BS they heard someone else say and it kept getting repeated.
And the fact that they don't have some cool hippy design packages, touting the next "best strain" named "Chemsis chocolate sour double drizzle" or some other crap.

I have grown quite a few of their strains.
I actually have an Auto OG Kush in my flower tent right now.

I'm guessing she may hit 8oz @ harvest.

In fact, here's my flower tent.

The 3 oldest from back to front are a fem/photo granddaddy purple, fem/photo white widow, and the autoflower OG kush all from ILGM.
I have some of their seedlings going now too.


So basically, about 80% of what's here...

Is all from ILGM.
So, I say screw what you've heard.
You made a great choice.

If you want to see more of their strains, here's a link to my current journal.

Best of luck to you!

.Smoke's Hempy Bucket Adventures

My grow has expanded in size and scope, so I figured I'd make a permanent journal for here on out. Short details, 4'x8' flower tent with 2- 1000W SE HPS and extra supplemental UVB. 4'x4'x veg tent with 1- 1000W SE MH. I am, and will be, running 12 plants total in a perpetual grow. All...

Best of luck to you!

Yeah I seriously researched for hours afterwards and I came to consensus it was people like me who have never ordered autoflowering seeds online before, were the only ones complaining and it seems most the times they updated their original complaint. But thanks for all the information I’ll definitely be reading your journal and making my own so I can help clear confusion as well! Thanks a lot

Hows it going?! Sorry to comment on such an old thread, its Been a while since Ive been on here for a browse, I just wanted to ask if the callmag treatment stopped anymore of this brown spot, or wether you thought maybe there was a period of time likely a day or 2 before or after a full or a new moon where the rootzone saw ph levels either side of ideal. I had similar symptoms on some 3 blue kings mothers i was finished with & budding in coco. I treated 2 of them with calmag & 2 of them i flushed with ph 5,2 water.the 2 treated with water harvested nearly 2 weeks before the calmag treated 2 & yielded noticeably heavier. They all showed small yellow spots that turn rusty brown that you could easily be blamed on calmag deficiency but because I run such a tight, by the book, complete range constantly monitored canna fed schedule I could be confident I was getting doses bang on so decided to treat half & flush the other 2. Keeping EC & Ph levels so accurate im sure was the problem. Because I kept Ph in the res pretty much constantly bang on 6.1 which is at the higher end of acceptable levels in a recirculating system but because I was growing these few plants out in a coco dtw system the acceptable but high ph levels built up causing the rootzone ph to spike & block out the macronutrients that would lacking if calmag was deficient. So now because of bad ph buffering not only do i get calmag symptoms & irreversible damage done to older leaves that the plant took the time to grow & needed . But also an inevitable darkening & curling of newer growth because of the calmag overdose. Anyways ive rambled but i get to the point that all this drama began as the plants were about to go into peak growth & nutrient uptake mode for the month in the 3 days before the full moon. & it cost the plants I treated with calmag dearly they never really came back from it. the moon. Its actually quite powerful force even to plant’s growing in a simulated environment. If you haven’t before I recommend taking notes of how fast they pull nutrients out of the water or how much more moisture needs to be added to soil/coco, how suddenly this affects ph & how much more vigorously plants grow in the 3 days either side of the new & full moon. & if they are in flower how much stickier & how you have to turn the extraction up to pull more pungent odour through your filters cause you can smell it as you pull onto your street. & notice how your roots all of a sudden start strangling your pumps & outlets & pulling more water & less nutes so EC or PPMs spike in the weeks between the moon quarters. Its a real good thing to take advantage of once you understand what effects the lunar cycles are having. That & the importance of using the full range of acceptable ph levels throughout the life of the plant i now let the ph fluctuate from 5.2 to 6.2 & everything inbetween because the full range of macronutrients can only be absorbed at certain ph levels & they are all different if only by +-.1 of a ph

Good genetics, crap customer support. ILGM will permaban you for leaving them a 3 star review that's why you never see any.
