A problem I've consistently seen is defoliating far too early.

Well....i can provide some.

1.) Too impatient/too much interaction during germination/seedlings. Wanting to see results Ive seen people uncover seeds in dirt to see if a tap root has at least developed yet.
2.)Ph levels and nutrient lock out. As a grower for fun I knew you could over feed, but I didnt know too much acidity prevents roots from being able to gather nutes
3.) Soil composition i.e. drainage and not being tightly packed in the pot you're growing in.
4.)Lighting. How much, what wavelengths. Its kinda more advanced, but with the amount of info given on gro lights now it can be confusing.

Also recommend the growers guide in ebook form so you can look up definitions of terms and sciency stuff you dont understand. And you can book mark as many pages as you want to reference in the future.

Hope it helps!

Good morning my peoples. First work day after the move. Screwed up my sleep schedule....2 more dayss working 12 hour nights then I switch to days for 3 months. Hate my schedule.

Question for everyone here in the states though. Im not very concerned about it but Ive always wondered how much power draw raises suspicions with electric companies? I cant believe I havent asked about this but Ive always wondered.

Well, that is the rub....you, being in a new place and a new customer in that place set the average for them to watch....they really can't judge your usage off the last person's usage.....

Nah im not really worried and my whole tent runs under 750w/hr anyway. My brothers computer uses more power. I was just wondering in the future if I decide to expand a bit. Maybe even just get the same exact set up Im running now again so I can have variety when growing. Way off in the future but I thought Id ask.

Well, DiffuseAire has been running with tent zipped up for 10 min. Usually be getting close to or at 90f by now.

edit: damn, just updated again...up to 83.2 now

Hey love stoner fam what’s up!!

I have a question for everyone

i am looking for topics

I am writing articles for multiverse beans

these are going to be topics that are geared toward newer growers.

I am trying to tackle the 5-10 most common “issues” or “problems” that most folks encounter.

And I want to be able to make these short, concise and to the point.

So really complex topics like DLI or VPD may not be the best

Give me your best blog topic ideas!!

To many watts and boom goes the breaker, i have a 720w led and 300w led in 1 room and 150w and 36w light in the other room all connected to the same breaker, plus all the fans and my gaming pc that is my limit, if the portable A/C turns on boom bye bye power now i'm having to go to breaker box and reset it.

Good thing is i only use the ac unit during winter when the house wants to heat the house and not cool it.

Im growing in my basement right now and was really just wondering what power consumption raises eyebrows at the power companies, say I doubled or possibly even tripled my consumption 18hr+ a day that would probably raise eyebrows right?
