I went on vacation for 7 full days and was expecting my plant to be sad when I got back. But it was perfectly fine. I need to defoliate. This is week 4 of flower.

Zenhydro has a 4 inch carbon filter and inline fan for about 60 bucks I've had my eye on. I heard the inline fan doesn't move much air but it's probably good enough for a 2x2.

I might use that code if you don't mind sharing it.

I upgraded my garbage can. It perviously had 5 par38 bulbs and a DIY carbon filter. Now 9 bulbs and an AC infinity 4 inch inline and carbon filter.

the totem method! i saw that i think ill stick to the generic style like in the pics. i can always adjust later but i know ill need a dehumidifier. its damp down there
  3 purple punch and 2 lemon kush
ill fix the sleeve thing too hanging that fucker was a bitch
Buddy this is wrong, you never want your fan connected directly to the filter. That causes constant vibration which slowly shifts the carbon bed and can cause leaks. Take that fan out and put it on top of your tent with the drier tube going from the filter, out the hole in the top, and to your fan which should be sitting on top of your tent.
Dang I have mine setup like that. The AC infinity manual even lists it as an acceptable method lol. I'll have to change it.

Does anyone else here grow in organic soil and top dress with dry amendments? I was going to ask at what point in flower do you stop top dressing? Or what is your top dressing schedule like in general? I have been top dressing with back to roots organic fertilizer and worm castings every 2 weeks. I think on my first grow I stopped top dressing around 4 weeks before harvest to try to flush nutrients out. I was going to cut it off even earlier this time I think. I'm at 7 weeks now and I'll probably just let it finish with just water and recharge.

I use a cheap Lux meter made for photography for measuring light intensity. If you have white LEDs the conversion is roughly 70lux = 1umol. I got the idea from this reddit post.

My leaves are really turning purple especially on the branches I had to super-crop. Probably cause it's been too cold in my garage. It was getting down to like 55 degrees at night for a couple of weeks before I realized it. I got the temperature problem fixed now hopefully it's not too big of deal.

My first plant I grew, the Northern Lights strain, is smelling and tasting really good after curing for a couple of months. I live in an illegal state so never had the opportunity to try different strains really. Just whatever I can get. This is way different than most of the weed I've had. It has like zero skunk smell which I am used to, all citrus and pine flavor.

My dirty secret is that I only used my pH meter one time to figure out how much pH down I need for my tap water. I just assume it's the same every time.

 Everyone's plants look great.
I think you have inspired me to try mainlining my next plant. My plants become a huge mess of strings trying to train them for my tiny grow space. That looks nice.

I made gummies they turned out pretty good. 14g of flower for about 200 gummies. I might try to sugar coat them still.

the_chosen_one said: Go living soil and you won't have to worry about ph at all.
Not true. Depending on your municipality you may have to dechlorinate and/or PH adjust your water anyway. Here in portland they use chloramine to both kill microbes and raise the PH of the water to prevent solder decay and lead poisoning. The average PH of our tap water is now 8.4 and that really fucks with the plants regardless of living soil or not. The chloramine also plays hell with the microbe population. Unfortunately there is no single rule that can be generally applied to cannabis growing, each circumstance is different and I encourage people to monitor all aspects of their grow to see what may be affecting it. I also encourage people to look up the stats of their municipal water supply if they are not on a well (also run water tests on your well water).
Do you do anything for the chloramine? My city water has it too but I have just ignored it so far. I just pH balance before watering.

The craziest part of learning to grow weed for me has been seeing how much weed changes in the curing process. The laughing buddha plant that I harvested a few weeks ago did not smell great when I was drying it. Smelled like lawn clippings way more so than my first plant. I thought I screwed it up because I was having some issues with temp and humidity. I just tried a bit after 2 weeks in the jar it's still not the greatest but it's very smokable already. Can't wait to try it in a month.

Bph said: Do people put heaters on an inkbyrd inside the tent? If so what kind of heater. I’ve been running a 24/7 schedule with autos because that’s the easiest way to control the temp and humidity in my tent. I’m now convinced all my problems come from that.
I grabbed a cheap heater from the hardware store thinking I can just hang it in tent and plug it into the warm plug on my inkbyrd and boom. But.. everything is smart now and you can’t just leave it switched to on. It has multiple buttons you have to press each time it turns off to get it back to heating. Plus they all say not to use it in a humid room like a bathroom. I could heat the whole shed with propane if I had too but thats a lot more money up front than a $29 space heater.
I got to get my shit together and figure out how to grow inside the house. I love my kids but I could really use the bedrooms back.
If you search on Amazon for "ceramic heat bulb" I started using one of those for heat when it got too cold in my garage. I just use a timer that turns it on whenever my lights are off.

I'm a peeker (pecker?) as well. If I need to water during the dark cycle I usually just do it. I haven't had any issues yet. Sometimes I wonder if it slows my flowering times.
