Hello everyone! First time grower here. I’m starting my grow today. Looking for tips, tricks, and advice on what you wish you knew when you started. thanks in advance!
Hey Mike....glad ya found us. There are alot of knowledgeable people on here, so you are in good hands!!! Maybe a bit more info on your set up.....what is your medium, nutes, lights, etc...
Well I haven’t bought my nuts yet since I read I don’t have to give them any until a couple weeks in (definitely open to suggestions on nuts to use tho!) I’m using a 600w LED light. Using soil for my medium.
Ok, so how big is ur grow room? How many plants do you plan on doing at once? As far as "what to use"...that of course will depend on who you ask.....I however use Fox Farms.....I use their Grow Big during veg....and Tiger Bloom and Beastie Bloomz during flower....I also use Happy Frog soil and add perlite.
The thing I wish I knew when I started, was to keep it simple. I tried to do too much too early, before I really knew my plants. The more I simplified my approach, they better my buds became. Fabric pots, happy frog or strawberry fields for seedlings, transplanted to ocean forest riggt before the switch. Some photosynthesis plus on every 3rd watering, with nectar of the gods to supplement when plants tell me they need something. Happy girls now.
600 watt led, might wanna try some training if it’s a purple light. I’d keep canopy low, under a foot so ya get good light penetration. Scrog or LST.
Thanks for the info! My grow room is about 10’x12’ but I’m only doing two plants at a time. Don’t wanna overwhelm myself
If I’m keeping my canopy that low, am I going to keep my veg cycle short? Or just use some training and topping to keep it that low? Sorry if that sounds stupid just don’t know
You dont have to keep the veg time short if you dont want to....with training like that, you can keep em preeeeety short
You think one plant is better than two plants in a 10ft x 12ft space? I want what you're smoking lmfao. Sent from my SM-G892A using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Lol yea I thought he is talking inches usually with those numbers people are talking in inches on here. That is a HUGE space
As long as you keep your light low enough to prevent stretching it will keep the canopy low. If you decided to veg longer the topping and training will help keep the canopy nice and flat. And doesn’t sound stupid at all. I like that you made the connection between veg time, canopy height and topping/training. like what canibis said try to keep it simple and don’t try to many techniques or nutrients at once. Complete your first grow as cleanly as possible with as little as possible and your on your way. PH is a big deal with hydro and sometimes soil depending on how your setup your soil. less is often more. From watering to feeding don’t be afraid to ask questions. lastly there are a million ways to get the exact same results (smokable bud). So don’t let people poop on your method. Some ideas are better then others and some ideas are just plain shit. Growing weed is really simple. We (growers) just tend to fuck it up by over complicating things
