good morning mate thank you, im very worried about my ventilation though, i placed it on the top of the tent but when i switch it on its so powerfull that when i close the tent with the zip the walls are shrinked because it sucks too much air from the inside to outside and i only have this one and a clip fan. should i buy one more fan to place it on another hole so there is intake air too? (Sry for my bad english- i hope u understand what i wanna say) - PLS HELP IM SUCH A NOOB

That's exactly what you want. Negative pressure inside tent. If your tent sides aren't being sucked in at least somewhat, then you don't have enough negative pressure. If you have a speed controller on your fan, you can turn it down a bit, but make sure that you are still sucking in the sides of the tent.

HELP WITH FLOWERING?

I've cloned the plants I'm about to flower with my cloning machine.

It's Dark Angel. it's actually about 8 weeks in veg. Going to leave it another week but they're big all ready and I want bud not leaf.

What's the best feed for my "dark angel" during the flower/bud stage?

I've been using a generic solution from my local happy hydro (that's what they call it) which has been little more than OK. Love those guys and if you're close you should use them but...I want further advice?

My last harvest I got literally 6 ounces (cleaned as much as it could be) of what I'll call almost buds. They were almost bud because they looked exactly like the buds that matured but they were too small to clean enough to please the public.

I know mostly I have to start using bamboo or something to pin branches up but there were a lot of these almost buds.

Should I trim during flower? I don't see anyone else out here growing this strain...so I can't reference them. It's really leafy with huge fan leaves that I'm told do feed buds I'm told but they also block the light.

I don't know how to put pics up or I'd show you what I mean.

Is anyone else growing this? It's really top shelf shit by the way boys and girls. Once I get the buds I saw in the Seed King ad I'm going to be a happy guy.

Green crack at three weeks, when should I top em? Or should I at all? Will be building a net/trellis soon. These things have been growin like crazy by three weeks I mean the seeds were in my mailbox three weeks ago.

I just harvested my green crack and you should have already topped them so do asap also you'll not need a net there short with big buds one of my buds was like 26 grams dry just top the main and lst everything else

THanks again mate! should i have it on 24/7 even when the lights are off? and should i have just this window with the screen open? or should i also have a hole open? im worried about the bugs and spiders if i have one of the holes (without screen) open!

Could anyone advise as to whether this M.O.B plant is male or female?

I wait until after i flip to 12/12 and the stretch slows and pistils start showing then i trim only fans that block bud sites and i cant tuck the leaves out of the way.

I run 24/7. I believe air exchange is very important throughout your grow. You really should get a speed controller for your fan if you can. It's ok to leave those rectangular vents open during veg, but you will need to be light tight during flower. Myself, I keep those vents closed, and run a length of 6" ducting to vent ports at bottom of tent. A couple 90 degree bends in the ducting should keep light out, and the added benefit is you can raise or lower the open end of the duct to bring in cooler air from the floor, or warmer air as you raise it towards ceiling. You can cover the open end of the ducting with pantyhose to act as screening. Be sure to clean often. Check out my journal if you like, there are a few pictures of how I set up ventilation.

I'd just leave her be. Don't overwater, and no nutes yet. She should be fine. How far is she from the light? Looks like she might be stretching for it. Patience please

 

[kerry420]

she is just one day younger than this one here.. (same strain) and they both are 37-38 inches away from the led lights

Hey what's up everyone I was just wondering about reveging. Anyone ever do and what do you think is best method to reveging?

 

[Furcifer]

have no clue what the cfm but it says "air flow m3/h: 315" if that helps and unfortunatelly NO it doesnt have multiple speed just on/off

Get a speed control for your fan. It's pulling 315 cubic square feet of air per hour. Your tent is maybe 20 sf.

More hours of light than darkness?

Assuming they are NOT autos... They look like a better candidate for FIMming given their bushiness but they look ready... for whatever you choose to do training wise.... as long as they are normal photo plants.

Femmed seeds was what I purchased not autos, please explain fimming.
