@KingRatt
Hello thanks for the warm welcome over on the 420scrog grow journal, that thread got me seriously inspired to try that at some point. Anyway I've never ever grown and have some brand new equipment for a soil grow with Biobizz nutes (I wanted to try soil first and see how things go).

liking the look of all your grows and just wanted first hand experience with the Spider Farmer G3000 light, is it decent enough as that is the one I went for and like I say never grew and haven't even set anything up yet. Just getting alot of reading/learning done but have thought no better knowledge than just popping a seed and starting. Thanks in advance and great to be apart of this community.

That is a great grow light can probably support up to a 4x4, i use mine in a 2x2 its a tight fit and a little over powered but because i never have to run it at 100% it keeps my little tent cool enough. As far as budget gear goes, most are divided down the line with Spider Farmer and Mars Hydro. Both are great choices. I pulled about 12oz out of the 2x2 and think i couldve hut a pound if i vegged another week or two. Give me a list of your setup, tent size And equipment etc and i will chime in with any advice i have for you! Good luck, you found the right place to learn AFN has a bunch a great growers here!

Sounds like it should be ample enough then for my setup, thanks again @KingRatt.
I'd be happy with half that harvest tbh, so far I just bought a cheap starter kit and few extras along the way...

Spider Farmer - G3000 light...
Mammoth TT twin speed fan & extraction kit 6"...
Biobizz - light mix soil...
Biobizz - Bloom, Grow, Heaven, Topmax, Calmag, Root Juice, PH up & down...
Grow Gadgets - Timer...
Root Nurse - Square fabric pots(various sizes)...
2 x cheap generic 6" oscillating clip-on fans...

That all looks really good! You can grow some killer buds with that setup! Over all the years ive been growing the most important thing is getting your environment dialed! Too low humidity is just as bad as too high, same with temps but most people only have a problem with heat. Also learn to water too much is just as bad as too little when its a seedling you just want to guve it enough water to sustain itself a cup or few depending on pot size, once it gets a little bigger and starts to veg you will want to water fully til you see some run off usually about 15-20% of total pot volume. And then let them dry back between waterings. You can tell by lifting the pot if they meed water. Other than that, good luck and start with strong genetics that are geared towards beginners. They really are alot more forgiving and has nothing to do with quality of the end product, it will be fire. Some strains are just alot easier to grow

Edit, keep your ph for the solution between 6.0 and 6.7 and your plants will be happy, also start off at 50% full strength or evven lower like 25% in the very beginning. Most manufacturers recommend way too much nutrients and you will fry your plants at full strength. Start low and if you see nutrient burn back off

Brilliant advice, I'll start a journal when I get started and let you know how things are going.

Awesome! Cant wait, ill keep am eye out, tag me when you get started so i can find it!

Plants are ready to flip, got about all i can filled up under the screen and will save what is left for any stretch but these girls are healthy and ready to bud! Lights go out at 10pm tonight! I know these are both pretty indica dominant but im crossing my fingers for at least a little stretch

 

[Antonio_DutchPassion]

They both do have some stretch still, but tbh flipping now might again be a bit too early mate. I don't think you will be able to fill the screen this way so you'll still have open spots and some smaller buds as well.

Best to let them recover a bit and explode growth wise, then scrog a bit more so the net is more evenly filled and then you flip the switch.

Looking at how they've grown so far, I would say give them another week, 1,5 week of VEG and then flip them! Last time you flipped a bit too early as well (to my knowledge) and what's another week in the total seed to harvest time? I understand you want those buds to grow, don't get me wrong Just my 2 cents btw, but thought to share it with you now you can still put it back in VEG.

Either way these buds will be fire! Cheers man

Ill do that ill give em another week or so. You know these genetics better than me! Plus it ll give me some time to hopefully grab a clone or two from the SLIC! The Blue Zushi is a much more aggressive vegger and gave me tons of cuttings, but the SLIC vegges a lot slower and the branching isnt as prolific so ive only grabbed 1 cutting as i dont wanna take anything that will prodeuce lol.. I like growing multiple varieties next to each other as you can see the differences much more clearly! Crossing my fingers i get the pink pheno, any others to look for? Also same with the Blue Zushi, any special phenos to look out for?

 

[Antonio_DutchPassion]

Cool! Regarding the SLIC/SMC the pinkish/blue-ish pheno is the absolute winner for me, but there is also one that is less colourful but with extremely densely stacked trichomes, different terps though, more earthy/gassy. She has a killer potency. Here is a pic with a few pheno's with the coloured one in the middle :

Regarding the Blue Zushi, this a favorite of the team :

Peace out bruv
