Depends where I am in the grow.

Thanks for posting this guys, what a save. I was on the fence about harvesting over the weekend but got forced into it by the sight of some White mold on a few of my leaves, they seemed to be in an easy enough spot to be cut away, further to this we were having our flat prepared to be painted and the wise guys scraped the wonderful old paint and my plants happened to be out in that area. Pretty irritated by the ordeal but just had to move on, @CreX sent me the link to this resource and what a save. I did a 3 wash as mentioned with room temp bicarb and lemon solution (very light nothing heavy handed and for a short duration to try lift out and paint debris). Then a rinse in warm water, and a final rinse in cold water - I shook off the excess water gently and let dry for the next 24 hours. The buds are currently hanging and drying. The wash did a world of good given the situation I felt it was necessary and likely would not have even known about a bud wash if it weren't for the reasons listed above. Thanks to all you guys and the shared wisdom. Namastay

Oh dear! Looks like you could be possibly correct! Although, not sure what soil that is. If it is too fresh you could experience issues like you are. I would stop further watering, and just leave her in the sun for a few days. Don't give her anything else at all for a few days. And see what happens...

Absolute darkness or light leaks are not issues at all while you are still vegging.

Cinnamon ( the powder ) acts as a natural fungicide, a little bit of not so useless information I found out the other day. The only time I've seen gnat's is on Google. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

The Bruce B video... See if i can find the other one later on, Whole video is good, but if after the Humidity only, it's around 9.00 mark or slightly before for the start of that segment. I watch so many lectures, talks and other shit, and steal with my eyes and ears.

She’s a looker.

Hello everyone. I am a greenhorn. I tried a first outdoor grow over summer. Realized I have a lot to learn. I have been reading up online and then behold, 420sa.co.za Hopefully getting my green fingers on

Moar fans good

100 percent correct for seedlings and veg, I just wasn't sure what light the tank was giving out, right next to his seedlings, otherwise he could have just let the light on 24 hours if it was that bright. I also tend to keep dark hours dark, and when helping others try not to talk different things and stick to the best process.

Thank you DamDave, it is useful information. If you purchase coco peat from most places in brick form, they come with eggs in so you get them free some times haha.

Thanks@StickyD420 @CreX great feedback and guidance as always.

Yea dude, always down to learn something new. See if you can find some shiz when you have a gap

@Totemic for my second grow, I got very lucky with the strain. Wild guess. Four of a kind

There is an extremely good video explaining all that, I just cant recall if it was Bruce Bugbee or Harley Smith and have found the one video of Bruce / Apogee Instruments, where he explains it, but it's not the video I recall watching which had it explained better. I can link it here if you like, and only try help when I give advice or share with people.

Thanks buds. It's meant to be Jack Berry?? ( Seeds from a buddy ). I have grown twice outside and the plants were awesome and had the dark green leaves then. This batch was grown from the few seeds off the last plant. The soil I'm using is a mix of: Coarse sand Coir Those small slow release fertilizer balls Vermiculite Cinnamon Compost ( horse, cow and chicken shit, ash and fynbos cuttings ). I have been putting them in the sun rays when it's warm enough and now that you mention it a breeze does blow over them now and again. I don't use extra nutrients and using a gazillion cfl's in grow cabinet's. And I talk to them a lot!! Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

I think you're gonna need to explain this better... Humidity is the amount of moisture the air can hold. I have to disagree with you about having a tent that's 100% humid, with a meter reading 50%... One of the meters is lying lol The only way that's possible is if your RH sensor is right by your intake and gets the fresh air blowing over it always while another sensor is buried deep in your canopy... But either way... You gonna have issues if your meters are allowing that kind of descrepency in a tented environment

I agree with @StickyD420 about the phosphorus def and with @Prom about the nute burn. But it just doesn't add up completely in my head. We do need more info - especially on the new growth. Im suspecting that there is a lock out happening or a poorly developing root system/root issues. Im almost tempted to say flush well and add light nutes to the next feed. Let's see what others say

Thank you Crex, I will do that. the soil is a standard potting soil with pearlite and bone meal mixed in. Thanks again

There is also a difference between RH and Humidity. RH is relative humidity, to the temp on that same display or meter. Humidity, is what you'll see on a dehumidifier, it will show the true humidity, vs the relative humidity and nothing to do with temp. So you can have 50% RH @ 27deg and still have "for example" 100% humidity in the room. Very easily. Sorry to confuse this more

Could be cold.

I just use pro tek gwano pellets. It has plenty of phosporus in and is 150 for 9kg.

Sadly the type of guano we need is for the flowering phase and not the growth phase. It is a rare item, and why I found work arounds in my soils, by adding K humates to cover the K, while the other ingredients also add K, and rely on the michorizzal fungi and rock phosphate for P. That's besides the P from bone meal, and the other fertilizers.

Temperature and Humidity can differ quite allot in a tent set up. I have 3 sensors at different levels in the tent.

#5 mon tout Regardless of winning or not, this is a great place for us to let our imagination loose and share with one another, thank you 420SA. I also post all 5 pictures, as I hope ya'll enjoy them.

It is shocking news - Great love and Compassion to Myrtle and family Go in Peace and Love dear Julian. We will continue the cause with similar passion you showed us!

I find it best to control the humidity in a room or area and then bring that into the space for best results, and set it once your preference. You'll see the hygrometer will still show different inside the tent, but the air coming in is perfect and ready.

Congrats@Ill_Evan

The other light will hamper them, and you dont want that actually as it can cause herm or unnecessary stress. Cant you hang something between the tank and area? Maybe send a picture of the light off so I get an idea of what the residual would be?

@Pango Welcome

You can, but 18/6 they say is best, Was it an Auto, they can be 24hours on. Your root develop at night/dark. Unless auto

Welcome to 420SA Make yourself at home and buckle up for the ride As @CreX said, definitely follow his advice

Always, here to help, and happy to be of help.

As mentioned earlier... Waiting to find that video still,

Have seen when transplanting, and not watering properly after or not packing the soil tight enough around the root on the new pot, causing air pockets in the soil and doing that.

Thank you Dank I really do appreciate it. I had it under lights in a grow tent. Thank you for the advice seanmaa

He is still around locally. Still growing strong.

I definitely need to explain it better haha, Made an example with the difference of 50 to 100. But my dehumidifier and my HTC2 are never the same. Your temp and humidity display, will show relative humidity, which is never true humidity, but the humidity of that specific temp which its currently showing. Walking into my room, the temperature gauge showed temp of 26.4 with a 55 RH and my dehumidifier 43. After 10min the temperature was 25.7 with an RH of 49. Still showing 43 on my dehumidifier. The 2, will never be the same unless you keep adjusting the dehumidifier to be closer throughout the day, when you can rather set it at 55 and forget it, and it will turn on and off regardless. You can have as high as 70 humidity, and still showing 50 RH if the temp was right.

Actual vs Relative Humidity

Post 3 pictures: Veg only, bloom only, both. From there it's easier to see what the likely issue is.

DWC Update | Week 4 Going to try and stick to Monday updates. Things have really started to take off! Super impressed with my 320W Quantum Bar setup! The internodal spacing is extremely good!! Plants are absolutely loving life. I have increased Nutrient Solution from 0,5 EC to 1,2 EC pH 6,3 Nutrients will stay at this strength until i flip to flower. Other than that they will all get "topped" either tmrow or the day after.

Firstly, thank you Secondly, you need to smell it actually Open a pack of Maynard's Jelly Babies, smell o vision Added: After taste is like you just ate candy floss.

I also dumped the Reef Aquatics smart plug in the trash.. the numbers that shit thing delivers are so far off... if your tool measures crap.. why have a tool at all hehehehe I check to contact the Admin.. the title is misleading. I post the pictures of a tool measuring the correct wattage. Mars 144 Veg Mars 144 Flower Title needs to get edited... things need to be correct. And sorry for that.. numbers are not that "awesome" anymore hehehe is now just a lousy no effort grow

Good stuff. Welcome. How's your planning for the summer outdoor season? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

OK, i invested 2 mins and raised the 7 smaller ones. Lamp has to stay now.. max up, but I think will fit till the end.

I skipped Day 1 Week 8 as you got Day 7 week 7 ^^ You get 2 pics for Day 4 Week 8 Canape they formed them self Full tent view.. no rocket science anywhere I think about evening the canape a bit more and put something below the pots of the 7 shorter ones

I only discovered that there’s something like washing your buds after I found some PM on my plants while harvesting. I searched the web to find out what can be done about it other than chucking it into the bin. I found the following video and did everything this guy suggested to do and it worked great. I also kept a bud that wasn't effected by PM and dried it along with my washed buds. I compared the washed bud vs the unwashed bud and couldn't tell a difference.

My first Auto!!! (Actually my first plant that hasn't died and is actually showing some buds) very excited. #AlaskanPurpleAuto

My No1 ^^ a real Auto.. she even topped herself. suddenly the main went 90 degrees sideways and the plant performed a topping Blackberry Kush
