Grow Timeline (73 updates)
I was wondering if anyone could help me out, I'm trying to figure out if the 200watt lumalight is sufficient for a 2×4 tent any info is appreciated!
Send pictures of light
I’ve grown great bud with a 100w light from a hardware store mate
I don't have it yet still waiting on delivery
I've really only done outdoor this is my first real attempt indoors and I'm trying to make sure that I'm doing it right
Send the one that u seen before buying
Check the instruction manual on the lights, or even the pictures in the description they tell you the ppfd and the approach distances and the coverage depending on flower or veg, etc. That’s what I’ve been doing to research my next light purchase.
Ok will do thank you. Oh and your plant looks awesome!
Vivosun makes a 200w for 130 i use thier products it's aces
I bought the 2x4 starter kit very excited to get growing
It's fully automated it's hard to mess up the grow unless by own doing
Ok good to know I appreciate it.
I really like the 300 watt high output light bar by mars hydro just under 200$ . Alot of ppfd
Thanks 🙏🏽 I’m trying lol
Agreed. I have the 300w TSL2000 mars hydro and it’s perfect for a 2x4.
They have a new high output light bar that better than the standard 300 watt but shzlux has some great lights for cheap to that's another company to look at 350$ for a 800 watt
The 200 watt lumalight is perfectly designed to fit that tent. Hell yea dawg let’s grow 🌱👌
I see that now that I have it all set up thank u all for your advice and knowledge!
I personally use 4 70 watt melomfarmer/ viperspectra p700. For a two by two sideways that's been raised with a open face. Poor man's 4x4 since I got greedy and kept popping seeds while stuff was in veg
Hey whatever works right.
Up till 2am making sure environment was stable,dont have everything i need to hook my humidifier and circulation fans to my e24a grow hub controller.one end of the humidifier cord is type c and other is usb b and fans are both usb b. but I'm making it work for now.any suggestions are welcome. Oh I used fox farm ocean forest soil with a teaspoon of growdots mixed in evenly throughout soil. On 18 off 6
Had dome on both until they popped up.humidity is at 84% temp between 79 to 82 haven't watered any more probably going to wait another day or two and check the soil.overall things are going good so far. I love it!😄
My cap junky had the membrane still stuck holding her closed after she came up so I kept the dome on over night and when I did my morning check she was good! Now I'm just checkin the soil and checking the plants.
I have my light at 28 inches and its on 50%. Is that good or should I have the light closer to 24 inches.
Topped off cup with soil, watered each with a micro dose of recharge.1/8 tsp recharge 80ml spring water. Around 35ml each didn't wanna over do it.when should they get their first good watering? After transplant to 5 gal. Thanks.
Should I transplant or should I wait?
I was worried about this with my autos. Kept transferring even though the Internet says not two and honestly there good. Three times transfered with myhcoriza and kept adding more 70 watt led boards. Had three harbor freight leds that are basically for seed starting or putting right onto a clone chamber
I would asap. In my experience Autos are fine to transplant, just be gentle and do it little early than you normally would. Yes you always run the risk of shocking it but imo reward of up potting outweighs it
Yes u right most don't transplant autos cause they go into flower within 30 days . chances are if u do transplant them they only grow 2 ft tall if u lucky .I start them right in the pot I finish with .will this work yes but people tell me they have better results this way I guess time will tell .and I do use micrizal when I transplant and after a cpl weeks I use humic acids.if u not getting the results u after id try photos .so far I'm not that impressed with autos personally I think a new person should start with photos so they get used to time changes and how important light leaks can be . Idk these just my opinions .
These ladies are both photo at about 2 weeks in seedling stage. Im probably going to transplant tonight they are looking healthy and i want them to keep getting bigger.
Oh not sure why I thought autos lol. Either way I'd transplant
Lol all good the first thing I posted on this app was a northern lights auto that I was growing in my closet but I wanted to do photos for my first grow in my new tent.
Im use to germination and put em in a bucket and under the sun. so I appreciate the info just wanna make sure what I'm doing is the right thing. Definitely addicted to growing and this tent is freaking awesome.
Performed actiontype.watering
Woohoo! Out of them solo cups and into their permanent pot. Happy that everything so far has gone pretty smoothly and seems like the plants are happy as well. Watered them with 2 cups each with recharge the help with any stress from transplant and hopefully in a day or so we will see more progress.this is pure therapy I love it!
Just a morning check before I'm off to work! Always makes my day.
What kinda soil ya use?
Im using the foxfarm ocean forest
Awesome ty it actually looks like nice stuff probably end up throwing my bushy one in it
It's actually pretty good very airy and has some good stuff in it
Got a question do you have and tips for getting rid of spider mites. I think I have seen a couple this evening and I want to catch them quick
I can ask my pops but isn't neem oil good I think ive heard. Sorry never dealt with them knock on wood but do u think maybe that soil has them in it🤨🤔😵 an are they lil red looking spiders?
Need oil is what I'm reading. And I'm not sure but I dont know where else they could have come from. Im glad I seen them now.
Yeah tbh. When I opened this bag of trueliving dg brand soil "lol" I seen one an smashed that bitch right away haven't seen any since 🤞but Im wondering if soil had em cause Ive heard it's a problem with that soil?!??! An wanted to know forsure
Well lol seems like rumor was true too bad I didn't hear it in time
I seen it on a form an on here talking to someone. An that's B's I'd be calling them an saying something especially if you jus put them in that soil
I dont know if anyone has any ideas but looks like something was eating on the bottom leaf of my fruity pebbles. The only critters I have seen in this fox farm ocean forest is the little soil mites. What could be doing this and what do I do. Has anyone else had this happen while using the foxfarm soil!but other than that they look healthy just switched lights to the veg spectrum and adjusting the environment slowly for the veg stage to begin! Happy growing everyone.
I'm interested to learn this with you, so will leave comment to come back for answers
Try using mosquito bits or dunks (have to be crushed) & add it to watering & that will get rid of the fungus gnats . Can be quite a few different pests that underneath the leaves . Check for russet mites , spider mites . Are they flying ? Use a magnifying glass to get better look .
Important to have IPM schedule once a week & rotate your pest spray or they will get use to it & only spray at lights out . I like to add a spreader sticker to my sprays to make sure the product sticks to leaves & not drip off . I can also add drop of dish soap to spray . Get under all the leaves
Thank you all for the help I found out what happened and I can't really get rid of this pest. Turns out it must have been me either while giving water or something.found the small piece of leaf laying on the floor of my tent so yea. What a dummy!lol I at least feel better I know what it was.just keep growing on!
This exact same shape was cut into one of my leaves, and turns out it was literally just me accidentally tearing it when watering 😅 probably the same thing that happened here
It's the exact same thing it took me 2 days to figure it out. smoke another one!
Got my luma ray side lights woohoo
I just installed my ac infinity side lights few days ago. So far so good
How many weeks should the plant be when I turn these on late veg?
I’m having trouble reading anyone replies. I spoken with Chris about it & he will be working on it . Looks like u asking when to use it . Can be used throughout the entire grow
Everything looks good got a couple tips of my leafs that are yellow but its very small and it hasn't gotten worse. Should I be OK.thanks
Looking happy dude. Great job!
I appreciate it. Trying to keep em as happy as I can.
Looks good. U can use less of the nutrients if u seeing nutrient burn . Always use less then the bottle says , companies want u to go thru bottle quickly so u buy more . U can always add more of u have to
Only thing I'm using is 5 tsp grow dots per 5 gal potter and watering with recharge 1 a week
Only thing I'm using is 5 tsp grow dots per 5 gal potter and watering with recharge 1 a week i mixed the grow dots in the soil before transplanting
Looks fine I wouldn’t worry about it
Whats your opinion on growdots? You been using them a while? Gonna give them a try my next grow I think.
To be honest this is my first time running em so ill definitely let you know.ive heard alot of good about em. They say they are really good with autos.
With the grow dots does that say it has flower nutrients? I just wondering & curious how that would work . I have to look up the info . That would be good for anyone who doesn’t have time or doesn’t want to mix bottles . Great to if u go on vacation
It goes from seed to harvest
Gonna follow to see how the dots wrk
Same here. Im definitely curious. There is so many different kinds too
so curious about theee Dots. Keep us posted on how they're treating your girls.
The way things have been going I'm loving it. Haven't seen any sign of any deficiency's and they are both growing good with nice thick strong stems and branches.grow dots +recharge 1 aweek
Was just peeking in the tent filling humidifier and admiring the girls and i seen a very small set of leaves growing in an awkward spot. Pretty cool though.
Maybe its the plant's version of a beauty mark lol. Could be a sign if something good🤔🤷🏽♂️. Gotta admit im a tad bit curious. Time will tell.
Yea i might let it out for a couple days but probably gonna get rid of it dont need any wasted energy
I’ve had that a lot with my autoflowers after I defoliate them. No idea why but it happens.
Yea pretty cool I love these plants
Very true. The wasted energy part slipped my mind.
Preformed Action Type: Watering,ph,LST
This is my first attempt at the whole light stress training so if I am doing something wrong please let me know. But I think its looking pretty good so far!
If your side branches are taller than the top, you’re doing it right. It’s all about steering those auxins to the spots you want to take off.
Well then I got it right lol thanks
Oh yeah I added two gnat traps. I seen one fungus gnat but I squished his ass! Hopefully thats it for them but I doubt it. Gonna keep an eye out!happy growing.
Looking v great
Thanks im definitely happy so far trying to make sure I triple check things before I do anything.lol
Everything's looking good plants are growing and healthy. Applying ipm tomorrow to combat a few fungus gnats that have shown up.
I definitely needed to see the way you did that LST. Thise pictures are helpful to me so thanks for sharing
Not a problem thats what its all about brother. Glad I could help
Performed actiontype.watering, also trimmed a few leaves and a couple small branches that were way under there, and I figured what the hell i might as well try my hand at some cloning so I've got one attempt at a clone in my tent now too. Hopefully with me painting the dome whit it will diffuse the light enough not to burn the little guy. Fingers crossed. I checked it this morning and it still looked fine so I misted the clipping and the dome and off to work! Happy growing everyone.
Performed actiontype.notei looked at a post from 9 days ago and I can't belive how much they have grown it that time.
Nice tie down. Training is my fav
Yea this is my first time growing using lst but from the first result I got im hooked!
Yesterday cap junky was showing sign of i think over Watering. Downward curl but soft to the touch, no burnt tips or anything else to tell me any different so I'm gonna try and be smart about this keyword(try) and let her dry out a day and see how it goes. There is improvement from overnight but there is still a little curl.canna gods have mercy on me lol. But I think everything is good just another bump in the road! Happy Growing everyone.(update) looks like i have made the right decision cap junky back looking like herself again!!! Whewww!🌳
Checked on them this morning and cap junkys leaves were clawing again. Hopefully by the end of the week we will be back on the ball!
A little Cal Mag, and Recharge might help
What are you running for a set up soil or cococoir
I have the fox farm ocean forest
Light stress and u need to get a soil meter best thing i ever got
Idk if it's light stress they are getting right under or right at 600 ppfd and the light is at 18 inches above canopy. I've still got her chilling for now to sold meter I have says that it's still moist so hopefully she will shake this off. And I did notice that the leaves that are showing sign of stress are on the very bottom branches. Don't know if that's an indicator for something or not.tganks for the help
OK download photone app and then hit me up it give u a ppfd reading but u have to use paper to get the rite number and yes it does work I love it ever since I got it my plants are taking off as u cn tell
Yeah that's what I use. I'm getting a reading of about 605 in the center of my grow and about 415 to 400 around the outside.
Are you using the defuser
Yeah
Are you spinning ur pots
I bought another soil tester and looks like under watering so I gave em some recharge and things are looking up
I usually rotate my pots every other day
Watered each plant with about 1 liter of water ph 6.8. Reduced rh from 65 to 60 and gradually decreasing until i get it around 45%. Moved my light down to 15 inches above canopy, receiving about 750 ppfd and will gradually dial up my light until I get it around 900 ppfd.gonna need to get another fan for below the canopy as well. Don't want any micr climates in here!
My boy them ladies lookin mighty mighty phat back thrrrrr can't wait to see the final results
I can't wait to see either! Definitely enjoying this grow.
Performed actiontype.watering popped in the tent this morning before work and it might just be me but these girls are looking pretty darn good. Gave a little over a liter of water to cap junky, fruity pebbles was still somewhat moist so I just gave her a little drink.
Performed actiontype.watering gonna try and hold any other posts until I see some pistils! At least I'll try lol.this grow has been freaking awesome and it keeps getting better! Happy growing
Performed actiontype.watering i had to do some pruning on my girls just to open up for air and light, plus fruity pebbles was growing stuff everywhere.but now they should be pretty good from here on. And while I was doing that I noticed the first pistils coming out of both plants!
Performed actiontype.watering well i guess something had to happen at some point. Was checking out my fruity pebbles taking off a few leaves and boom there it was my girls got balls!!! So now I will spend the rest of this grow searching and clipping off any sign of pollen sacs. Hopefully I can keep up!wish me luck!
Performed actiontype.watering. I couldn't help it... I bought the spiderfarmer g4500 light for the 2x4 and the heater off vivosun i just wanted more even coverage so . Damn growing hobby lol.
Performed actiontype.watering. buds are we starting to get bigger and they are everywhere. This 200watt luma light is nice it definitely does the trick but I really can't wait to get this sf g4500, hearing and seeing some good stuff about it and produced under it!
Watered both plants1.5L got stuck in my tent just looking at the plants for 45 min some of the pistils are already turning a light shade of orange in some spots on both cap junky and the fruity pebbles. So freaking awesome!!
PPFD is at about 1000. Oh and ive also got a Bruce banner that I cloned from my buddy's grow and just decided to let it go into flower with the rest of em.
Temperature, I think im good now got my circulation fans at the bottom my ocilating fan up top, got my new G4500 light from spider farmer and my newest addition...I got the aero flux heater. Time to fine tune things a little more!!
2 under the 450w nice bro how much do u uswelly expect from that bag wise?
To be honest this is my first indoor run so I'll let you know around end of March beginning of april when they get chopped.
Nice nice
Nice nice
Oh do you see what I see soon to be trichomes they look absolutely amazing in really big
Yea they are starting to frost up a little bit as well as starting to have a nice smell to em.
Also bro maybe lift that light a good 3 or 4 inches up in abt a fortnight
OK is that to get more light down through the canopy right.
I see that great job and how old are they
10 week 3 days from seed. Day 25 flower
Damn they are looking good
I appreciate it.
Water.
How the hell did u make that one like that in the middle?!? Straight from seed to flower?!?
No that's actually a Bruce banner clone from my buddy. Just wanted to try cloning and since it took i just put it into flower with my other two.
Hell yeah how big was it before putting it in flower?!?
Hell yeah how big was it before putting it in flower?!?
The top of it was about where that lowest little budsite is. She shot up pretty good over the last week
Looking good tho. I kinda figured you did that one on purpose an yeah thats a strong plant so to get the stem all one bud all the way up
Looking good tho. I kinda figured you did that one on purpose an yeah thats a strong plant so to get the stem all one bud all the way up
Thanks brother they are definitely coming along nicely!
Water, these girls are fattening up and im starting to see pistils changing from white to a nice light orange, they are also developing tricomes and a very nice smell lol.
What ppfd or l uc are you running at what hight and what type of light
I'm running about 950 ppfd with a spider farmer g4500 I just moved the light up another 2 inches up to 14 inches above canopy.the first half of my grow i was using the vivosun 200watt luma light but I wanted to get better coverage so I got the g4500.
Water half gallon per plant.fruity pebbles hermed on me but ive only seen and removed about 10 pollen sacs so im going to keep an eye on her and just let them keep chugging along.
They look nice that sucks. What company's fpog is that?
I am too curious which seed bank did you get them from because I got fruity Pebbles and curious and worried
Lol eitha way you always gota watch an if they prone to herming cut all lower branches that don't get light an you'll have less chances. But I have fpogxanimal cookies so I gota watch no matter what
I should’ve done more research instead of going off what I wanted to taste because didn’t realize fruity pebbles is unstable genetic it’s modern for this, genetic to be a drama queen to stressers now ima be on edge now
Yessir oh well I jus wouldn't run a whole room. An look at those buds it's deff worth to run. I think he had the light a lil too hot for that genetics an probably why it stressed
I got my seeds from seeds supreme
Oh ok I got mine from North Atlantic, but I think all fruity pebbles are gonna be a drama queen to stress when they go into flower and if there’s anything that stresses them out based off my research, so next time, I’m gonna make sure I get some stable genetics. I mean every plant has a chance of growing pollen sacks. It’s just some or worse than others when it comes to being a little bitch to stress
I'll definitely keep that in mind on my next bean grab!
Daily inspection 🔍
Damn they getting fat
Nice work with mainlining!! They look like they will finish up beautifully!
Looks amazing good work!
Thanks everyone. But its because of all the info ive gotten from this app and talking with all of you so thanks for the help getting to this point!
Weekly report! And I had to put a lock on my lung room door, ive got a teenager that has sticky fingers so im not gonna let him get them any more sticky than they already are!recoverd two small branches he snagged now just trying to dry it slowly which is hard because its dry as hell. But the grow goes on! Happy growing everyone
Bahahaha give him some to dry himself an tell him to leave your shit alone. I remember those days tho my pops had so much he couldn't tell 🤷😅😂 "looks good tho bro frfr esp those dryish red haired nugs
Took a few picks of the tricomes on the Bruce banner and the cap junky. Man the looking frosty! Bruce banner really putting em on.
Be real.....them pics were chosen out of dozens of shakey pics 🤣 but fr nice pics man I have to take like 100 to get 1 good trichome shot
Yea bout ten a PC lol
I really like the Bruce Banner. So much so my last grow was about making seeds. I've got about 100, and been sharing with friends.
Damn right that's awesome. This is my first grow but im pretty sure im gonna grow it again as well!
I've got a OG Kush that is close to being done, really nice plant. Next grow I will be STS treating an OG. To use as a pollenator on Lemon Cherry Cookies, and Banana Purple Punch
That's gonna be an interesting mix
Good morning growmies!
Getting big and fat looking amazing bro
Yessir! Im ready for it. This Bruce banner clone is just frosty and solid as a rock!
I see that holy crap she is super thick colas and I can't wait for mine to be ready to chop down she is getting close probably this weeked
Well I harvested and dried my plants for 7 almost 8 days and now its all in jars curing. We will see how it goes. Gonna burp jars twice daily for the first week and go from there. Thanks to everyone who helped me thru this first grow! Freaking awesome I got 4 jars of cap junky and 3 of fruity pebbles. Haven't weighed it yet but will update with final weight totals.happy growing i think ill start germination tonight probably going to go with the lsd25 auto from 42fastbuds.super excited for that! Oh first picture is the Bruce banner clone and the other is cap junky i didn't snap a pic of the fruity pebbles.ill post her later!
Did good bro that looks awesome for a first grow most don't get that nice when it is so id be happy af
Oh u bet I am. Im definitely ready to do it better this time tho lol got a little more knowledge from ppl in the group.

I LOVE GROWING CANNABIS!as soon as I chopped my girls i felt weird kinda sad lol but soon as I started these beans im back happy again can't wait to start fine tuning my growing skills and watch this beautiful plant do its thing! Happy growing gromies!starting off the morning right with my kushmints live rosin cart!stay higher!!😎😌
Bet that’s a expensive cart it’s glass too . Wish I could afford rosin . I just get reg live resin carts 510 tho
Yea they are a little pricey but man they are good.$ 57.50 for half gram cart of live rosin.
Looking frosty ❄️
Yea its nice just needs to be a bit bigger lol!
First grow just like me, lots of things I wish for lol. We got all the seeds and time in the world 🤷🏽♂️
Yea you're right! 🙂
200w light should be great for 2×4 just don't overcrowd the tent
I was going back and forth in my head I either wanna do 2 or 3 plants. Leaning more toward 2 plants so I can get the feel of everything
Yeah I know the feeling... I went with 3 and seems pretty chill for my first time I like hands on training helps me comprehend faster, mistakes are meant to be made as long as we learn from them
Good to know
