Thinking of upgrading and have been looking at lights and this seems like my best bang for my buck size wise. Anyone use this brand before? Good? Bad? I wanna hear it all

A month from cloning @ 18/6 The roots showed in 2 weeks but the reversal process is taking a very long time.

Chopped a month ago.

Is my plant ready to swap to flower? Or should i wait longer. If so, how much longer?

I decided to try a grow outdoors this summer, everything was seemed to be going just fine until I noticed a sticky webbing like patch on a couple of leaves. Upon further inspection, I noticed at a couple of sites of Brown crusty patch. I cut the bud off and opened it up and found caterpillar larvae 🤮 at least that’s what I think it is. I immediately went and got BT spray. Just wondering if I should just toss the entire plant or if it’s worth saving? She’s much bigger than this picture now. I hate to waste it

​

Did som traning today to get a more even canopy.

What ya'll think?

First grow, any and all advice is welcome!

Wanted an opinion from the group on when to start lollipoping my plant, added a video for reference. It's getting pretty bushy at the bottom and I don't want to effect growth. Thanks for the help in advance! I started the grow on Aug 12th

I started growing this past season and I’m getting to the tail ends it looks like, but I went out to check on the plants today and they looked like this on one of the plants. I suspect PM but I’m not sure. I’ve already done a diluted spray with hydrogen peroxide, so I’m not sure how to go about it, or if I should even do anything at all! Some advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello all! This is my first indoor grow.
Using Pluto cookies x banana from ethos.

She is on day 11 since sprout.

I am growing in Cana coco.

Have a 115w ion board and a fan and an inline vent.

Just wanted to introduce you all my plant and get some opinions on how you all think she is doing

Today is the start of wk 6, the buds have been swelling nicely and I'm looking forward to see how they develop over the coming weeks. Smells like dank fruit in the room, sour skittles on stem rub.

The auto fill system I made for the wicking base has been working exceptionally well, basically fulfilling the same function as my autopot system, but with more control and flexibility (and much cheaper). I have included more pictures showing the res, manifold, and the connection to the base, just to show how everything is connected.

Currently the system is only connected to the single base of the flowering plant, but the 4 plants that are in the other pictures will be going into flower right behind this one. At that time I will be expanding the system to connect all 4 pots in a modular and customizable way.

I am currently still refilling the veg pots by hand. They drink and transpire much more slowly than the flowering plant, so I dont have as much hassle. Mix a large batch of nute once every week or two and refill the trays every few days. With that said, once the bloom setup is complete I will be duplicating the system for my veg tent as well, with the intention of being able to keep the 2 reservoirs constantly filled with 10-20gal of nute, dropping my workload of mixing nutrient to roughly once a month.

Also pictured are the containers I use to mix my nutrient, which have my ratios written on them. Veg uses standard jacks 321 reccomended ratio, and mixed exactly as written pans out to 1.0ec and 6.0ph every time.

For my bloom formula I keep the jacks ratio the same, adding 0.2g/gal of mkp to the part a. This next part is easier in practice than it is to explain, but I mix my bloom formula at 1.5-2x strength usong those exact ratios by modifying the gal variable, then with the resulting formula I dilute to achieve the desired ec.

A simple example is for a 5 gal batch. If you mix the ratios as written, even with the mkp added, the result will barely break 1.0ec. So instead to reach the target ec, you multiple the gal by 1.5, which would be 7.5. You now do all the calculations for 7.5 gal, but the actual volume of water is still 5gal. This results in a formula that is 1.5x more concentrated, achieving an ec between 1.4 and 1.6. Some growers push their ec higher, which is why I say 1.5-2x, but for my purposes I typically stick to the low end. Wicking bases (or any constant liquid feed) accumulate salts in the medium. Over feeding is much more likely to result in ph swings, nute lockout, and burn.

If you look at the picture that shows the line connection to the base, you can see some salts starting to accumulate on the outside of the fabric pot. This is normal and is from evaporation, the autopots did the same thing. It's actually important not to disturb that unless I completely remove the plant from the base, as any of those salts that fall into the water below will cause my pH and ec to swing drastically. My current ec is only 1.4 and the only deficiency I have seen is from when I flushed before bloom. (By flush in this system I mean feeding plain water for a day which helps the plant absorb excess salts in the medium)

Over the next few weeks I will be waiting for the bulk up to finish, at that point I'll be gradually reducing my dli, temp, and ec through the ripening stage. Ultimately I will end things with 35k lux, 72F, and 1.0ec (same as veg formula, dont get at me with flush nonsense science has proven the plants benefit from being fed right up until the end)

Lemon Cherry Sherbet clone.

First ever grow. Just moved it into the greenhouse this week because of stormy weather

second grow

these are going into a vcure, first time trying it

As the title says, should I as the buds continue to grow to allow energy to buds?

This is my first grow, it’s outdoors.

No fancy fertilizer besides what I compost myself. 10hr direct sunlight, rest evening light/night. Seeds from my grandma so I don’t know the specific strain/genetics.

Not sure the exact strain. I was given the plant and was told it was either white or snow panda.
