What's good, bud! Seems like some discolouration on the leaves of the big girl there? Maybe a deficiency, perhaps root stress. Deficiencies are caused by lack of nutes, or it could be that excessive nutes harmed the roots and now they block out that nute completely resulting in the plant showing the same signs as deficiency. You feeding them? If so, how much? If not, start. What's the white stuff on top of the soil? Make sure whatever it is, it's not leaching compounds into your soil. I would look into sorting out that before investing all the time and energy to get the plant to flower and then turn its back on you later on. Big impact on plant size is pot size, if the roots can't move neither will the plant. I agree with @TheUltimateNoob, top them, wait a week, open them up by tying them down. The big girl I'll chop a bit lower, at the 4th node or so from the bottom should be good. Make a cutting from the top you cut away.

Is this what they mean by "flowering plant equivalent"? Yeah, the whole "grey area" situation awlays seem to play in their favour. Fucking pigs. We just have to be "extra careful" and not try our luck, I guess. I will try find out more about this, but then again if it's grey to us every second police officer will have a different understanding of it too. They'll choose in the moment if what they find is penalty worthy or not. I don't plan on harvesting more than 4 plants at a time, but I need to be able to harvest more frequiently. Probably still won't ever have more than 600g on me, but will need to veg 4 at the same time as flowering 4.

They say 4 flowering plants per adult. Does this mean I can have another 4 in veg and about 10 clones too? All at the same time? Or only the 4 in flower?

Aha, I see, I have misread that part about the amendments! Apologies, Sir! I do not use nutes. I grow in ff premium mix, to keep the soil alive I add mycorrhizae and a bit of trichoderma to the soil. I add a bit of dolomite lime to add cal and just help a bit with keeping the ph stable. Then to keep the microbes thriving and the medium fertile I brew teas, mostly with ff prem mix and a bit of soil from the mountains and I add liquid vermipure and molasses. Should start adding more stuff soon, waiting on a order to arrive. I also spray weekly or every second week during veg with bioneem, bioampilo and phyta. All organic shib, I do not use a bottled nute with a schedule and all. If that's what you're asking. I test ph every here and there, mostly for interest sake. Had a ph scare, almost lost a plant. In the end didn't know what was wrong, had to dump the soil, cleaned the roots and made a full recovery! I need a soil ph probe, but for now I test run off from time to time. Here's where it might not be so organic, when I pour clean water from the tap and put my ph probe in sometimes it shoots up to 9. So I feel a little shit giving that to the ladies and end up bringing it down to 7.3 with a chemical ph down. Should probably start a seperate thread on this haha

I agree, don't think taste is gona be a difference. I am aware that organic slows things down a bit, but shouldn't be the reason why my gpw is so low. Just as a side note, I am only doing my second grow at the moment. Still getting to know the ropes. What we are discussing is all based on my very first grow. I think "going organic" should be much more of a thing in the farming industry. I am on a big farm, we're trying to move away from synthetic nutes, cause pumping them into the earth at the rate we do completely changes the chemical composition of the soil and over time you destroy the environment for the plants. For a plant in a pot you only gona grow for 4 months it really isn't doing anything other giving the plant exactly what it needs. I am missing something here though. How does ammending the soil before planting differ from ammending while growing? And how does organic make the split between the two? Even mixing earthworm castings in your "medium" before planting means you've ammended the "medium". Organic dry ammendments are added to the "medium" before planting and then you just give water whole grow through. Would you say this is organic? Because, it is. It doesn't really matter what you call it and you've already ammended the "medium", which according to you makes it not organic.? I am lost. Yes, it is. It's the Apollo 8 from futurama. I have the light raised 40cm above the canopy and the plants are not reaching the sides of the tent. Can't raise it more (for better spread) cause then I'd be losing the last bit of intensity. Hence the new light coming together as we speak. With both my first and second grow I've had 4 plants in a 1mx1m space. Tried to max the potential. I mentioned that I could do better with the tea brewing, I had troubles sourcing potassium rich ingredients for my AACT in time, so I think I ended the grow a bit too early actually. Think that had a big impact on the end total. Aswell as the light. Will update my statistics once I have them.

@PsyCLown Is 0.8gpw too low? Does organic grow style generally yield less than salt based? Or what's your hypothesis?

@PsyCLown Well, my grams per watt is 0.8 and this is under a cheap blurple. Not too far from 1g, which would make me happy, but just seeing people achieve bigger yields and investing much less is what gets to me. You can call it organic, yes. I could defs do better with my AACT brews next run and will also have a bar LED with samsung diodes. My previous grow was organic with the adding of a synthetic nute here and there.

Well, this sure makes me feel a bit better about the amount I'm at. I guess it also depends on your yields and such, efficiency of the grow. I have a friend that spent probably half of what I have and pulls harvests double the size of mine. He got lots of second hand items and his setup is bare and simple, only the essentials. He knows what he's doing and is just all around more knowledgable on these things and I also strongly believe the GrowGods bless him favourably. So much so that it kinda pisses me off at times! This guy can pull fucking top notch buds from a "swazi" bag seed grown in river sand middle of the winter (quite drastic exaggeration for dramaric effect) while I'm paying through the nose to get the right soil, right pots, right everything and then still face the everyday problems such as ph stress and deficiencies of all kinds. Anyway, nice to see I am not spending "too much"

Ooooh, I remember you telling me about the one you carried outside everyday? 24°C is a good temp my dude and how big is the space?

Greenhouses firlter sunlight. You will only increase the temps and humidity and that's if you don't have proper ventilation. You shouldn't be increasing anything with a greenhouse except your plant size. I agree that conditions for these plants are just unfavourable.

Is this the lady growing under the 150w? Is she an auto? I should've been more clear hahah, but I actually meant I wanted to see the light lighting up the grow space? Can you gauge the temps coming from that light??

Niiice! Hows she performing? Any pics of her running? 12000Lumens will surely outperform 3200Lumens. Actively Aerated Compost Tea. There's a couple threads on here that goes into depth, but basically you pump air into water with your organic nutes and other microbial rich ingredients in it. There's a couple of ways of doing it. The reason to do it is to provide the microbes with some more oxygen so they can thrive better, it also supplies the roots with oxygen along with the microbe enriched tea. I grow in FF premium classic with the aim to keep things as organic as possible. Still use some synthetic nutes here and there, but never enough to piss the microbes off. I plan on getting the full range of Greenhouse Power Feedings Organic range, super fucking expensive, but will never have to use any synthetic nutes again.

Think I paid like 550, I posted it here somewhere, but in the range of 550. That light you got there, is that the 150w for R390 everyone was talking about?

I have recently put together a small aact system, been brewing teas and I have to say I think that's what's making the big difference. The light definitly works too, but I can see the difference in all my plants.

Hahah I have to say, I'm keeping this light. Was gona return it, but decided otherwise. If you guys wana get one, I found this one at a builders express, here's the box it came in

@afternoon blazer Hi bud, Yeah, this 50w is blowing my mind. These ladies are all in 10L pots and I'm fast approaching them becoming rootbound. They have already filled up the grow space aswell, but as planned I will have them moving into the bigger space for flower and they'll be getting 20L pots by then.

I have to agree with @afternoon blazer If I can have my name, or any name for that matter or even my own slogan or some shit on it, it would be the coolest thing ever! I guess that becomes a bit more of a thing if it's alongside a branded name, so I'm not designing my own thing completely. I guess that is something that's already available. I would say if you where thinking of making 10 caps for the first batch make 5 baseball caps and 5 ones with the flat brim. I just emailed Freedom Farms to get a hoodie from them an was just thinking how cool it would be to have my name or slogan on one of their hoodies. Sadly they don't have hoodies right now. Also excited to see your designs!!

Welcome welcome

That's a nice looking cap, bro! I do not wear caps often, but support is what it's all about! If I was to wear one I would prefer the "baseball cap" design, if there is one. I am one for a more "professional" look, but with hoodies it doesn't matter too much as a hoodie itself is a little on the unprofessional side hahah. I am looking for a hoodie, though! So defs will support if hoodies with a nice design become available! Do you have a name or a catch phrase of some sort?

No worries brother!

What's up, bud! You must have me confused with another forum member, I am not growing a gelato at the moment, although I wish I was! Hope all the best with your new seed, excited to see how things unfold!

Awesome bud! I would love to have a looksee at those designs! I do not move around much in the cyberspace, so I do not have instagram. Well, if I was gona support a bigger brand online I would have to pay courier so if I'm down to buy some goodies I'll pay the shipping! If possible you can pm me some photos on here?

This should be interesting! That GPSqm is impressive @TheUltimateNoob This will be based on my grow from last year, about to finish up end of the mont then will check how things changed. My setup makes the math real easy, The numbers: 1mx1m tent. 250w blurple LED. Harvested 216g. GPW: 0.86 GPSqm: 216 WPSqm: 250 I saw that thread prom pulled just under 1kg in a 1mx1m space, absolutely ridiculous!!!

Buying clothes , looking to support my local cannabis industry, anyone need support or know who to support?

Hahah I'm quite impressed by it too! It's about 20cm, but I will have to check tonight if you want precise measurement?
