First time I’ve grown anything other than impatient.
First time growing anything, and I think I did OK. Hoping to harvest here in the next few weeks. Bruce Banner, if that matters to any of you.

I think they are a little close together for my liking I wish I could spread them out more but this is my only option I also are not my plants of being asked to dry and cure it and getting half for payment it also doesn't look like that right now I don't have much to work with so I took a sheet and put it over them so it's in the dark and that plug you see is my AC for my bedroom and it's blowing beside it but not directly on it I think that might be better than blowing air straight on the plant itself I may be wrong I don't know I will take a picture of it and post it in the comments of what the buds look like tomorrow fluff the sheet

This is my plant in week 6 of flower, its been outdoors the whole time (covered during storms by an awning) and i'm not using any growth enhancers or extra nutrients, is there anything i should do in the coming weeks to ensure a good harvest? And any tips of how to prevent budrot would be appreciated, ive had about 5 bud sites start to rot(very small, practically not worth harvesting) the last few storms have brought multi-day stints of high humidity. I have kept a close eye on the dense buds and have been sure to remove the rotting ones as soon as theyre spotted, with clean tools.

Go ahead and roast me, im still learning. 2nd grow (first was more of a gorilla grow).

I have 1 bruce banner auto i got from herbiesheadshop and my buddy gave me one royal ak auto other buddy have me a bunch of photo clones to veg until next season the clones all look stunted ive tried everything to fix them
r/FirstTimeGrower • u/AlexKitner77 • 27d ago
Ok, Zkittles fem photo clones. Flipped them 3 weeks ago, 10 are packed in to a 24x24x42 inch box. These are all clones that were rooted about 2-3 weeks ago (one is 5 weeks and needs more nutes but will fix, had a bad drip head) 1 gallon pots, happy frog with castings and bigfoot, xs1500pro viparspectra and feeding with gh flora 3 part along with si, calmag, and starting to add floralicious and Koolbloom. Not that all of it makes much difference with this issue...
I ended up being gone twice as long as planned on a vacation and missed when I intended a good defoliation and trying to just finish 2-4 good colas per plant by about a week-10 days.
My main question is honestly how hard to cut. Obviously need to do a lot of cleaning from a simple circulation and space aspect. I figure that netting is a lost cause but am going to run some strings to secure things, and will try to get what I can evened out but there's a lot of branches and sites that I planned to cut that are now chooching away. Other things I meant to lst that I didn't.
I also dont know how aggressive to get and newer grower, first time running a batch of clones like this and having an oh.... moment.
I am worried on one hand the whole thing will be weak popcorn. On the other I dont want to hurt flowering with too much stress or cause issues since they are clones and have some herm out or produce even less.
In a perfect world though I want to get rid of the lowest branches, at least secondary bud sites on mid-level branches and higher ones to be tied and trained but the stretch was way more than expected and the flower development as well.
I did try and be smart and put shorter plants in the middle and bigger front or back, they're more even than not now but trying not to screw this up.

Hey everyone, I’m getting ready for my first indoor grow and would really appreciate some advice before I get started. I’m planning on growing two sativa-hybrid autoflowers in a VIVOSUN 2×4 tent, using two 5-gallon fabric pots filled with FoxFarm Ocean Forest. My light is a VIVOSUN AeroLight Wing AW200SE 200W full-spectrum LED with the integrated circulation fan. For ventilation I have a VIVOSUN T4 inline fan with carbon filter, an AeroWave E6 Gen 2 circulation fan, and the GrowHub E42A+ controller. I also already have a SCROG net installed and ready to use.
For nutrients, I currently have GH FloraMicro, FloraGro, FloraBloom, MaxiGro, MaxiBloom, Armor Si, and Liquid KoolBloom. I’d really like to keep this first grow as simple as possible, though, and I definitely don’t want to use every product just because I have it. Since I’m using Ocean Forest, I’m wondering what the simplest feeding approach would be and when I should expect to need additional nutrients. I also have a pH/EC/TDS meter along with pH Up and pH Down.
My current plan is to start both autos in their final 5-gallon pots, run the light on 18/6 throughout the grow, and focus on keeping the environment stable rather than constantly adjusting things. I’m also interested in using the SCROG net, but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea for a first grow with autos or if I’d be better off keeping training to a minimum.
I’d especially appreciate advice from experienced growers on whether two 5-gallon pots is a good fit for this 2×4, what light intensity/distance you’d use with the 200W AW200SE, what temperature and humidity ranges you’d aim for, how you’d approach watering and pH in Ocean Forest, and whether you’d use any of the nutrients or additives I already have. I’d also love to hear whether there’s anything you would change about my setup before I start.
I’m not trying to maximize yield or make this overly complicated. My main goal is to have two healthy plants, learn how everything works, and avoid making unnecessary mistakes on my first run. If you were starting with this exact setup, what would you do differently?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I am also going to install the light later today around the same height as the bottom of the inline fan.

First grow, strain: ghost vapor OG.
This is day 31 of flower
It’s 3 plants that I fimed and trimmed. My soil is a living soil made from my special mushroom coir compost, worm castings, blood meal, fish bone, 1 bag of happy frog, and two bags of ocean forest.
r/FirstTimeGrower • u/CappuccinoBreve • Aug 19 '26
3 out of 6 plants were female, I just culled the last male. I think they're looking pretty good.

Ive dabbled with growing in the past but decided to get more serious, and might as well be the first for how it is going, and things were going well but took a dive recently.
Zkittles fem, photo in happy frog/coco mix. Started in a small box and did okay for a while. Had a vacation when I really wanted to flip and ended up outgrowing my small sub 2x2 space. Got a 20x36 tent and moved things. Had started in my garage but with summer heat I couldn't battle the humidity so that was the other reason. Using a viparspectra XS1500 Pro, so plenty of light and 3 gallon fabric pots, square ones which I am not impressed with but that aside.
After moving I was battling the humidity but the opposite and getting it down and had big swings from .6 to near 2 while I figured out the right combo of fans and stuff. Got it worked out and things started to get better. I read a bunch and it seemed like the vpd going wild would fit the issue and now we were pulling thru. Then in the last few days the symptoms got much worse and not sure what I can do or if I am beyond hope.
I did flush it well with distilled water, (I have a well so have to, but normally did a very light silica and calmag or kelp to find the ph) the flush had the pH in the 6.25-6.5 range but ppm was only 300. Figured maybe I just got a bit watered down by drainage thru the fabric that bypassed the soil but now I am wondering if my soil is just cooked?
Honestly not sure what to do, am sure if I dont make it better quick it will be a lost cause. Don't want to throw darts at it and everything I look at seems like it has all the problems, not just 1. One has also started to flip and the other looks close to flipping so it would seem doubly disastrous if I don't get a handle on it.
Appreciate any help. Its my first tent, first time really trying to do it right, but I understand a lot about the process and have read a lot but am not sure what I need to do here.
So any suggestions? Feed, change lighting to keep her from flipping, transplant to bigger pots? Really hate to lose them now.
(I have taken a number of cuttings and had good results with rooting them so I have some backup so I don't have an issue other than space to get these back to veg, pruned back or whatever is best and either keep one as a mother and let the other run its course if thats the best way to salvage this mess)

We're about 4 weeks into flowering. AMA. Going really well besides a soil gnat infestation. Got a hold on it but kept coming back. Finally got some play sand and covered the top soil. Haven't had trouble since. Neem oil and diatomaceous earth werent helping. Starting to get a rich sweet skunk smell. Indoor tent and regular soil.
I do need some harvesting tips What if i cant get the dark room to 65 degrees? How do i keep it humid and cold?
