I love bamboo, never had any issues. I do suggest replacing them after each grow-many would probably disagree, but think about it. You can sterilize a lot of stuff in between grows, even smart pots. But a lot of people just keep reusing their bamboo stakes without realizing they are probably full of mold spores.

I've used it for adding some strength to my tent, my new air intake system likes sucking in the sides of my tent, which steals room that I'm already short of, so I stuck a few together and then put them in-between the vertical ones, the sides don't really move now but I'm really starting to have an issue with foliage, I can't see anything in my tent now, its just green everywhere
Thanks for your advice guys, always appreciate the advice

I needed the air intake sorted ,temp and humidity spikes were beating the crap out of me lol, now once I've fed, it takes a few hours to bring humidity back to 50% and doesn't get over 60% and I got an army of fans running constantly keeping the air moving, down low, centre and up top, plus fresh air being brought in and humid air taken out, there's not a lot more I can really do now, unless anyone has any ideas?
Also can I ask why you don't bring it in the house? Is there a reason for that? I hate to miss anything haha

Hi, i used plant magic products and grew autos only for about my first 6 or 7 grows.
I found that the plant magic soil supreme has enough nutes in it to last the first 3-4 weeks, depending on strain and i started most plants on 2ml/L at that point.
The other plant magic product i used was their bio-silicon, which made a difference in leaf mass and health and lasts ages since you need so very little.
Calmag use to be a requirement for the blurple sort of LED lights but it's less so these days with full-spectrum lamps though i do hear of people using it with them.
I don't think they're too dark and their veins are fine, they look healthy.
I remember my first few grows though, always worrying and checking everything :) Keep up the good work!

Cheers n beers :)

Hi and thanks for your comments, I think it is every first time grower problem with overthinking everything lol, its good to hear from other people who have used same medium, and products relating to the same medium and how they used it,
I've never used any other soil I don't know if there's easier ways or not but as I've invested in this brand and results are positive, I guess I will stick it out for now
I got my negative pressure sorted in tent, I dont even need the bamboo now but if temp ever goes over what I have put as maximum, the fans will automatically go to full speed so I suspect it will suck sides in at that point so I will leave them there, but so far it has kept it to a nice stable temperature,
Well worth the extra cash to sort it out so I can just relax more now, everything is dialled in, just got to get to finish line

Well I took a chance and did a little defoliating, lets hope this works out good for my plants, I also stuck some scrog up as these are going to need supported, I took maybe a good handful of leaves only so it wasn't a huge amount but you can't tell the difference compared to the last picture, some of the white hairs are going orange too,

Looking nice mate . Hope they work out for ya
Thank you, I was nervous as hell defoliating incase I took too much but it seems to have worked out fine,
I will be giving them some bloom tomorrow and if the stuff works as it says it does, it increases the micro herd so those buds should start filling out

Not when flowering good chance of bud rot as always thank you for your time and the best of luck
Thanks I wasn't sure,
I.actually have a misting machine which you can set your humidity level to, i set it at 45% and if it drops to say 42/43% it will put a mist in the air to level out humidity, do you think I should turn that off now?
