Ask me questions about growing and I'll answer them.

1. No, you aren't going to grow in your moms house
2. No, you aren't going to grow in an apartment.
3. No, you aren't going to grow with cfl lights

... but you can totally grow with cfl's

its not smart, but you can

What pH should the water be in soil and how d I test it?

Buy a ph meter or if you're poor as fuck get a ph shake tester. Ph of your nutrient solution should be 6.5.

So do you grow indoors? If so whats the biggest or at least biggest headache about trying reproduce an environment that's best suited for the plants

Biggest headache of playing god? Spending the money to buy the shit needed. Least headache? Playing god after the money is spent.

lol stop trying to be an elitist about that bullshit. ive done all three of those at different points in time always grown my own a good grower can pull high yields and potency out of most growing situations

I mean its called weed for a reason. But I feel like if you take care and do what is best for this plant it will yield awesome outcomes

how much can i expect from 1 plant with bad equipment and no growing experience

Can confirm some of the best weed I've got has come out from under CFLs in some kid's basement

Are u using any automations to grow? Like automatic watering?

I live in my mom's apartment can I grow a plant in my closet using a cfl?

You can totally grow in your moms house,
your mom just needs to be open-minded and plant-loving, my mom cared for my very first plant and loved the structure and rising of it. was a beautiful moment.

fuck off plebs. fucking a drunk fat slut in your moms basement doesn't mean you get to have an opinion that matters on how to be a porn star.

you'll get something. it might even be decently potent. don't expect to be able to make money doing it though.

yes, these days automatic everything more or less.

why cant i do the first one, if its only like 6 plants

Any tips for growing it outdoors in a normal garden planter with full sun and water on a timed schedule? Colorado fag here.

You are obviously retarded you said I can't do three things. You can do all three the same time if you wanted to. No one said anything about making money off it. Faggot

What do you think of mine? Give me some thoughts and feedback

kill all your neighbors. they'll either rob you or turn you in to the cops.

I have a 400w bulb i got for free from a friend, but why do the ballasts themselves cost so damn much?

hard to tell from the stamp sized pick but it that thing flowering? does that clay pot have drainage holes in the bottom?

Wouldn't an automatic watering system lead to root rot?

Heres a bigger picture

cost is relative. my dehumidifiers alone cost $6k

not in and of itself

It has been flowering for about a month and a half, and yes it does

Damn, i'd imagine you have quite the setup with $6k being invested into just dehumidifiers alone

Im working on full automation right now. So u can leave ur Plants for whole week or longer

wow ur salty

theoretically but in reality you can't leave for a week at a time and expect to be successful. shit will happen. bugs will pop up, pumps will break, power will be lost, something will spring up and tank your crop. ask anyone who's an experienced grower, you marry into this game.

lol what a reproachable douchenozzle. Your product is probably garbage.

Are those Chinese 1200 watt led lights that only cost 200 bucks legit? There's gotta be a catch, like no way those are really 1200 watts right?

I'd imagine he's LARPing

I topped some of my plants the other day and FIM'd one as an experiment to see how it'd go. The leaves now growing at the top are healthy by all means, but have some deformities like a "wrinkled" appearance and tips of them look like they were jaggedly cut off kind of. You think this is normal when FIMing a plant? Or did i cut to high?

Ok OP has no ingenuity.
Google 'Micro stealth grow'
I once had a micro setup in an old PC case, in my moms apartment and I used a CFL bulb through flowering, got a respectable yield considering.

When do you start giving sprouts nutes and how much? How do I know when to up the dosage? Also how often do you water sprouts and how much water do you give them? Should the soil ever dry out? I'm afraid to over water sprouts

>There's gotta be a catch, like no way those are really 1200 watts right?
bingo

the led panels maximum output might be 1200w but almost all run at 50% power to increase diode longevity. that 1200w fixtures probably only pulls 600w. there are several issues with LED lights and why there are better options for lighting but i won't get into it to much because the thread will quickly derail into the "MUH LED IS DA FUTUR" debate.

Also, was a scrog grow and used a homemade carbon filter

>I grow too
currently growing some good shit

6.0-7 i like 6.5

Actually, it's different PH depending on the strain

even grandma can grow better bud

I think my plants have spider mites and I have some questions.

I bought some Scott's eco bug be gone with 1% potassium salts, is this going to hurt my plants?

Also will this shit affect me when I go to smoke my weed?

What ways do you use to kill spider mites?

Thank you

time will tell. i always stayed away from fimming just because it doesn't provide consistently reproducible results like topping does.

sprouts will have enough stored energy from the seed to get them-self to their third true leaf set, after that you will need to start supplementing nutrients. if you use synthetic nutes then give them a light feed of 1/8 strength mix and gradually increase the dose as the grow bigger. if you're doing organic just pop it into some soil with a bit of organic fertilizer pre-mixed in.

as far as watering goes just use the weight test. lift the container they;re in. it's amazing how easy it is to tell how much water is in a pot based on weight. its damn near instinctual. don't let the soil completely become dry but don't waterlog it either. you have to find the middle ground. if still uncertain you should lean towards smaller waterings more frequently to play it safe.

kek

A lot of problems with leds indeed, but my house is 10 amps with frequent power outages where I live

by the way, my plants are starting to flower and are being grown outside of that means anything

Yeah thats True for "commercial" growing but for a home growing it will be Just fine

How many plants does it take to make it actually worth it? meaning a monthly profit of $4,000+ with the cost of equipment amortized over the span of a year. I figure that kind of operation would need two pounds a month(2,500 per pound). Then of course there is the learning curve and all the woes new growers experience. If it were legal, I would grow outside in a greenhouse but the indoor stuff is just too costly.

i keep it at 6.5

you live in the states?

nigga when I had spider mites I hit the plants with a mix of fester and mospilan. I'm not fucking around.

there is no difference between home and commercial. the only difference is simply a matter of scale. all the problems that can happen commercially can and will happen at home and vice versa.

ayy lmao I meant faster

No I live in canada

neem oil works well

last years grape kush

find a product called safer killing soap. it's safe to spray in flower and will kill mites on contact. you will need to spray very thoroughly and repeatedly. every two day for at least a week for best results then switching to a once a week maintenance spray.

Bullshit, again OP has no ingenuity.
I've read through many successful vacation grows.
Organic nutes in big pots with auto watering systems, just don't want to pick a finicky strain.

Naaa man cuz if growing is ur main cash income u can lose a lot of money if smth went wrong but if u grow for urself like 3 Plants its not a big loss i think ;)

Is A/C a must? Plan on doing indoor grow no a/c, will have intake and exhaust fan

The most important thing is clientele and if you can grow good bud. I had 90 plants. All it takes is one deal, sell 100 lbs at $1000/pound and then shut your phone off for a few days!

I saw that brand when I went out and bought this Scott's stuff, safer soap had 2% potassium salt while this Scott's stuff only had 1% so I thought that the Scott's might be less harsh on the plant. Is it worth going back and getting that safer brand stuff instead?

haha rule one already broken

I'm currently growing 8 in my apartment, who no apt? Just gotta play it safe

landlords nosey neighbors

Depends if you are renting a house to grow or do you own the house? I would say 8-10 pounds per harvest minus electricity and nutrients if you own.

Not OP.
All I gotta say is you got offended real fast. No one's judging you for living in your mom's apartment. I'm sure your shit's dank

no one said it was impossible dipshit.

it's not advisable nor is it a realistic thing for you to be leaving for a week at a time and neglect the plants and think you won't pay the price. keep trying though user. maybe some day when you've been growing for over a decade you'll have something to say that's worth listening to.

now be gone with your silliness.

Ah, well my closet locks and landlord isn't in my unit without me. My balcony babies... they could be seen but I try to hide them with tomatoes

I got fucked over badly by a hippie friend who sold weed to his police informant friend and got the entire grow raided. I lost $36,539 over 9 months.
Now he's a police informant himself and has placed in the Emerald cup with friends he's growing with again. He's already gotten another person arrested and is living quite well now. How do I sperad the word about this person and expose his thieving and snitching ways?

Also, why is your industry so fucking shady?

Video of the original police informant:
vimeo.com/59022245

if you already have a killing soap then no.

come get me. i've been at this for a while. the internet police don't exist.

maintenance having access to your apartment without your knowledge or consent. quick way to go to jail worst case, best case you find a new apartment and get sued for whatever you still owe on your lease agreement.

What to do about the local cholos? They already stole one plant from me last year and are pretty much harassing me by constantly driving by and eyeing my garden and trying to look mean. I haven't slept a few days and I'm afraid for my gf. These guys don't play they poisoned my neighbors dog and stole plants from his back yard the same night. Also heard about a home invasion on a grow house where they were held at gun point but my laws say if I am growing I'm not allowed to keep guns so wtf am I'm I to do

>Now he's a police informant himself and has placed in the Emerald cup with friends he's growing with again. He's already gotten another person arrested and is living quite well now. How do I sperad the word about this person and expose his thieving and snitching ways?
expose him on Instagram bro i shit you not if u make a post and expose him word will get around whats his name ?

Can't he sue me?

Michael Robert Muir

The original police informant is Zac Robert Leh, though he's in North Carolina now and works on some boat doing chartered tours and doesn't grow.

the community is small, word will spread. he will end up in a dumpster eventually.

>Also, why is your industry so fucking shady?
mo' money, mo' problems

you sound like a big pussy. your first fuck up was growing again after having your first grow compromised. do what i did and camp out there with your grow take a buddy with u

Is there any way to cure weed without burping it?

I don't think snitches get stiches in that industry. Most people have seen too many episodes of the sopranos. Only in prison itself or with real deal mafia cartel shit are snitches punished. If I did anything to the original police informant or the new one then it'd be like attacking a judge or a police officer.

stop living with savages and move to white person country. living in california is the biggest fuckin meme of all time.

You don't know my neighborhood these kids run around on dope kicking doors on the daily so fuck off

i lived in the hood couldn't be worse than the one i lived in. get a gun you big fucking pussy.

you don't seem to understand how it works. a couple of pipe hittin niggers from the hood get paid to go grab his ass. that's how people end up being shot in the head and burnt in the trunk of a stolen car. police don't care about the informants.

Won't I simply get sued and make him even more money?

If I own a gun my grow is no longer legal retard

sued for what exactly?

i have a rifle and i grow no one knows i really dont give a shit why would I let someone break into my home and be defenseless ? Stop being a pussy man. Get a fucking machete you big clit.

I've witnessed trim work being guarded by men with shotguns, but overall that industry is really soft. The people that I've told that he's a police infromant don't seem to give a shit. If I tell his current dispensary/grow friends, I'm afraid of getting sued and giving this cunt even more of my money.

Libel

Plus its difficult for me to prove exactly that he's a current police informant. The video only shows him being an idiot which resulted in me being arrested.

Here's the video again: vimeo.com/59022245

if he isnt big in the weed game they wont care.

or buy nutrients with stabilize your ph level for you.

SUED FOR WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe you california pussies do it differently but he'd have left the state if that happened in michigan.

photoperiod or auto?

>stop growing
>move out
>grow again
Profit ???

A week is nothing, if you know your shit you can setup the right strain and leave it for 6 months on its own.
You can always learn new things user just stop giving shitty non helpful advise on Sup Forums just to try make your own little shitty life seem worthwhile for one night.
Any user actually looking for advice would just use google and read through grow logs that match their own needs and limitations with grow room and time available.
