Greetings! I'm a newbie and thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself formally on the forum I've just started growing indoors and also thought it would be a great idea to join a community that I can learn from and perhaps one day teach as well! Hope to start sharing my progress with yall real soon. I've started a week ago and I'm already overthinking myself to death with details and questions. Awe lekker manne, hier gat ons!

Just wondering what nutrients do you guys prefer. And what do you use as bloom boosters. I used bloombastic but it's very pricey..

I know it outdoor season. But those that have indoor setups running multiple lights. What power backup system do you have?

I run a 3kva inverter connected to 4 x 12V lithium batteries, its able to hold two tents running at a total of 1600 watts for about 3 and a half hours (along with some lights for the house and our PC's and TV). The unit itself cost me around R45000, but worth every cent.

lol why do you say that? the discrepancy with organics being slower is because people have lost touch with organics and struggle to get it right. when you talk to a organic guru you'll see it moves extremely fast, just as fast as hydro and some cases faster. 99.99% of newer growers who do "organics" just use normal soil and biobizz then call it organic, but their plants are stunted literally from day one all the way through. when a plant is moving slow but looks 100% healthy - it's stunted - and that's why people think organics is slower. I've outgrown synthetic/hydo growers a numbers of times with my own living soil. Takes a couple years to get there, but once you there you drastically scale down visiting the grow stores and nurseries all together. but we can't compare or view synthetics and organics in the same light at all, because worm poo and piss is sustainable, I source it right in in my back yard, no need to break shit down to make my nutes, no need for manufacturing factories and all the pollution that goes along with bringing a bottle of nutes to the shelf, no need for plastics all that shit and then in the end the use of synthetics is also harmfull in so many ways long before you consume it. so it's just two completely different things in the end.

Ahh yeah that's not too earlyHahah I get you, but you would be surprised. It's actually the other way around. In the short term you are "feeding" the plants with the leftover synthetic nutrients, so you may see them looking greener for a couple days after giving the feed, but in the long run you are compromising and destroying the life in your soil micro biome. not sure how much you care about it, but it's basically a global epidemic and people choose to be blissfully unaware even if all information was presented. we're at a point where we can no longer sustainably use synthetic fertilizers, that documentary explains it nicely to keep them smaller you gotta reduce feed, play between quater to half strength for feeding they will slow down

I had a cut of the CT Exodus cheese. Is good but nothing overly special. Not sure if the old genetics of the cut were responsible or the plant had the grow characteristic itself, beside the end colas it was more a fluff flower, so shit genetics if you want to resell. For home smoke, you get cheese and it hits. The plants are super thirsty like a Sour Diesel.. they drink at least double of a usual strain.. so you're short on water, stay away. They also get very fast irritated when under watered.. is not a easy strain to grow as is not overly stretchy but leafy. You really want to have a cheese in your mother tent or you will not go through the stress. Was the strain I was always willed to replace if I find better genetics.

While I'm not a doctor, it's essential to consider the possibility of heat stress, especially in hot weather. Make sure to stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and wear light clothing. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation. Also, remember that taking care of your physical well-being is crucial for mental health too. If you ever need assistance or want to find mental health help near me, there are resources available to support you.
