Autoflower Tutorials

Hi, wasn't sure where to best ask my question so I'll try here. Up until now I have been using GroTek Ph test strips. I have recently purchased a Preciva PH test pen. I calibrated the test pen with solution provided @ 6.8 and 4.01. The problem is , my PH test strips are reading 6.0 and my PH pen is reading 7.3. Of the 2 , what one is likely more accurate ? And if I have been feeding my plants too high of PH for a long period of time can I just drop them to the proper PH or should I do it slowly ? Thanks.

Im basically a newb grower all over again especially with autos. Im on day 32 from germ and day 9 since my girls have sexed. Im growing northern light autofem from vision seeds and auto purple from pyramid seeds. The pics r of one of the plants all r about the same. Im not sure what strain the pic is i forgot to label them when i put them in bigger bags. But feel free to critique and im up for any advice to maximize my yields here is my set up They r in a small basement and i mean small. I veged using a 1000w MH and switched to 1000w HPS when they showed sex. Temp is 84F when lights r on and 79F when off. The temps constantly stay there. I have a 6" vortex pulling air from upstairs and cooling mu air cooled hood and it is spitting...

I have 5 gallon Root Trapper II containers. I'm getting ready to order soil (FF Coco Loco). I forgot how much soil (gallons) it takes to fill a container and how to convert to cubic feet. I'll have 10 Root Trappers total so how many 1.5 cu ft bags?

I've been using Root Trapper II 5 gallon with good success. Is this size a waste of soil? I do notice that the roots fill up the pot fairly well though.

Hey guys, she's 23 days old and i started tying her down, am i doing it right? Thanks a lot

Have to keep my plants low this year, nosey neighbours!! Is this purple haze auto ready to top yet? I have never topped a plant before, all help would be great Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk

I was hoping for some help with this White Widow Auto. It is 5 weeks from sprout. It looks pretty healthy, although a few lower leaves showed a nitro deficiency so I added a bit a few days ago. Haven't noticed a change yet but I went easy. It's in Strawberry Fields potting soil so it had some notes. I've thought about repotting in case it's root bound. It's in a 10 x 8 x 8 pot and is 3' tall. Kind of sparse but healthy. It has a bit of smell to it but no flowering yet. Should I stick with veg nutes for now, or maybe combine. I'm planning on using Dr. Earth's liquid bloom but I do have Tiger Bloom as well. I hit it with seaweed extract every 2 weeks too. Any advice would be appreciated. This is my first attempt . Thanks.

My tent is in my spare bedroom. I am running a 315 cmh in a 2.5'×2.5'×5'. The temps right now are fine as the room is fed by the main ac. So its 71 to 73 in the room and 77ish in the tent. But winter... The room is on the main ac, so when i kick on the heat when temps drop how do i cool it? In the winter the room is the warmest since the door only opens and closes with me. The only thing in there is the tent and guest bed. How could i bring air in from outside without opening a window (since i turn off my exhaust at night and just run circulation) i dont want smellies getting to my very prohibition neighbors. Id assume during the day, closing the heat vent and opening a window would be fine, but i know i wont be up or remember at...

Ive been questioning this metric for a while and while simply planning for 5-10% of stated yield/ m2 was acurate for per plant in my first run, i wanted to find a reasonably involved source... Royal queen seeds put up this graphic on their site detailing what plant counts/methods are considered for each plant count in that meter squared.... In the article the graphic is posted, they give a basic description of each style and (photo) veg/bloom time needed to get the results they claim. For my first grow i was told to take the 550/m2 and divide by 20 and 10... That my per plant yield would be between that (2 autos in a 1mx1m tent) I pulled 40 off one and 38 off the other... So 5-10% was accurate.... Sorta I made a lot of errors. Had...

Hey everyone, by popular demand we've created Guides & Tutorials, a forum dedicated to the collaborative guides, user guides, how-to's, etc, on cultivating, techniques, and otherwise for growing! You wanted it; we're trying to bring it! :pighug: Enjoy! :bighug::pass:

Explanation: Photo Period Cannabis Plants: Photo Period Cannabis Plants flower typically when light levels reach or fall below 12 hours light / 12 hours dark (For Sativas) and 14 Hours Light and 10 hours dark (For Indicas). Most of the well known varieties of Cannabis found around the planet today are Photoperiod Strains of Cannabis. Examples: Northern Lights, Skunk, Silver Haze, etc. Vegetative lighting for photoperiod Cannabis Plants is typically 18 light/6 hours dark which keeps them in a perpetual Veg state (not flowering). Light Sensitive Cannabis Plants: Light Sensitive Cannabis Plants typically flower when the Light Levels they were used to in the Vegetative Stage start to dwindle and don't neccesarily require the...

I been asked many times to give fim advice so I figure I just post how I do because I think some people are cutting off too much and stunting their plants. you no need to cut off that much. I don't recommend new growers to try unless they have a spare. in case shit goes wrong.know what im sayin. ok first she is 15 days today and on her 4th node.here is the tools your gonna need. ok now see she on her 4th node. you can barely see the crotchs of 4th node. now use your finger tips to fold down leaves, like they were set of lips, so you can get the tip of plant up and leaves folded so crotches show like this. and this is top pic before the cut. now I have to start new post because only 5 pics allowed.
