>>730977986
growing under the radar is the easy part if you invest in the proper equipment. where you're going to run into problems with law enforcement is when you sell it. you can't control the guy/guys you sell too and you can't prevent them from doing stupid shit and getting in trouble and you can't stop them from ratting you out to save their own skin. you would have to find a few reliable people to buy from you in bulk to minimize how many people know who you are.

I plan on getting into Horticulture to learn the ins and outs of growing. I want to know the scientific angle, be able to take a glance at a plant and be able to generally understand what it needs more or less of based on it's current condition.

Any tips in the realm of fertilization/pest management?

It seems hydroponics are the future, any particular brands to look out for when I'm in the market?

I'm probably going to get some formal education in horticulture while maintaining a personal grow to enhance my knowledge and then get involved with some friends into starting a business.

I really want to be around and ready to grow both marijuana and hemp when the large-scale legalization starts hitting. Once you can sell over state lines the potential money will be huge. Once you can sell it internationally...

Here are some titties for your time. Thanks.

Do you have a few thousand dollars in the bank?

All you need is a grow locker/closet/room.

There are a lot of pre-made ones waiting to be bought. Requires extremely little knowledge or maintenance to keep it running. It cycles your light levels and what not all automatically.

They even have carbon air filters inside as to not produce smell. These are definitely the "easiest" way to maintain a hidden crop, besides growing outdoors. Which is a total crapshoot as to the quality of soil/pests, (large and small animals,) and the chance of pollination from other wild plants.

>>730977175
Hey I'm doing a basic closet grow with a led and I have a plant in a 2 gallon pot that is about 40 days in, I can't find how much I should be watering it and how much nutrients it needs. I use floranova
>>
>>730979004
>Any tips in the realm of fertilization/pest management?
there are plenty of preformulated nutrient line designed specifically for cannabis. no need to get fancy there. as far as pesticides, anything that will prevent and combat spider mites and thrips. these are the two most common indoor garden pests.

>It seems hydroponics are the future, any particular brands to look out for when I'm in the market?
a company called current culture makes a very popular hydroponic system called an under current. they are best for small to medium sized grows. most large scale operations work on an automated drip system.

>I'm probably going to get some formal education in horticulture while maintaining a personal grow to enhance my knowledge and then get involved with some friends into starting a business.
this is going to sound counter intuitive but the best growers are the ones who treat it less like science and more like an art form. sciency guys tend tend to overthink everything.

I really want to be around and ready to grow both marijuana and hemp when the large-scale legalization starts hitting. Once you can sell over state lines the potential money will be huge. Once you can sell it internationally...
sorry to say but you are VERY late. most people looking to get into that scale have been doing this for 10+ years already. the only way to make up for that is by spending enough money to get those guys to work for you.

>>730979038
look into a 4'x4' grow tent with a single air cooled 600w HPS. add a 6" inline fan and a carbon filter and you're golden. stay away from bullshit "grow closets" or "grow cabinets".

let the plant tell you when it needs water. if you lift the pot with a couple fingers you can feel how much water is in the pot based on the weight. if there's lots of water it will be heavy and there is no need to feed. if it's light give it some food. as far as how much nutrient it needs i would reference general hydroponics floranova feeding chart on their website.

>>730980442
it depends on how big you need the plants to be to fill the space. the 10 day plants will never catch the 40 day plant. it has way to big a head start unless you've really crewed something up. post pics cause it's hard to know what your 40 day plant looks like

for instance these plants >>730977751 were ~35 days old when this picture was taken.

i knew i wanted to grow since i was 14. every summer me and my friends would try to plant outdoors in the woods. i tried college and found it boring and expensive. i took time off of school and some of the money i had left and tried my hand at growing for real. it turned out to be way easier than i had thought and when i saw the money that i started to bring in i knew where i wanted to go in life. this is now my career.

can i have a job?
>>
>>730982398

i would go ahead and flower the big plant. top the plant and pull the branches out sideway to form it into a bush. it should fill out that space nicely. it will take too long for the small plants to catch up and you will likely hurt the healthy adult plant with malnutrition while you try and starve it to slow its growth. if you can put the small palnts under another light in a separate area and continue vegging them. by the time the one is done flowering those should be ready to take its place.

I have to trust my business partner on this. He's got a PhD in Soil, Crop, and Environmental Science and grows hazelnut trees in his garage. 40,000 of them. He says that he needs these lights to control the wavelength... or something. I'm just the business side of it. My degree is in physics.

I live in a one bedroom apartment, I have neighbors next to me and beneath me. I have 3 large closets, now, my question is...what is a cheap, discrete grow setup that will mask the smell from my neighbors?
>>
>>730977175
what you think about main line growing
>>
>>730984088
perfect. if you have a degree in physics then you will understand perfectly how the inverse square relationship between light intensity and distance will apply to a single, powerful 1000w HID light in comparison to many many small LED's

this is the ugly truth about led grow light that no one will tell you about. they have little to no light spread and penetration. directly under the diodes you can get strong light output but it dies extremely quickly as soon as you move off to the side. you can see this for yourself if you buy even a shitty PAR meter and looking at how the little the LED spreads it light.

people will defend LED grow lights like it's a religion but the truth it that the math and physics don't add up. before you spend all that money you need to see how the lights perform over a test grid.
>>
>>730984088
i seriously and honestly beg you to not blindly trust someone on this. i deal with people that live in what i call LED denial every single day. i have to sit them down and show them using my PAR meter how and why LED's are garbage for growing marijuana. like i said the only one worth even looking at is made by a company called fluence.

bottom line, dual ended HID lighting is and will be the gold standard in marijuana horticulture for the foreseeable future. i have no reason to lie to you or mislead you. i sell to guys like setting up grows on your scale every day.

I am currently growing in peat moss but thinking about going full into coco. If I'm a novice would I likely get better results going coco than straight hydro? I'd love to take a crack at it, but im still learning. and judging from my quality i make mistakes on the regular.

Also what city in michigan is your shop? I go to hydromaster in clinton twp.
>>
>>730984707
I mean, I'll mention it to my business partner, but he's got full control over this side of things. He's got a very successful micro-propagation business, and he's real damn good at what he does. We're talking about a 30,000 square foot facility, so if there's a cheaper way to do this, and it's more efficient, it's certainly something we need to look into. Neither of us have any experience growing weed. I've never even smoked it before. My neighbor bought me a potted plant and it's still alive, though. It's been almost a week.
>>
>>730985144
LED's producing less heat is a myth. they use less wattage and if you use less wattage you produce less heat. 1 watt = 3.4btu of heat regardless of the source. a 600w HID puts off the same heat as a 600w LED.

it's physics, there are no exceptions.
>>
DEA here, don't mind me, please continue...
>>
>>730985354
propagation is one thing. vegetating and flowering man sized plants is another beast entirely. for instance look at these plants here >>730977751 these are vegetating under t5 HO flourecent lights. they look great right? guess what? if i flowered under those same lights i would get jack shit in yield. just because you can propagate or veg under a light dopes not mean you can realistically flower under them and get good results.

i honestly would call you a fool to invest this much money into a business without someone who is very experienced in a senior advisory position.
>>
>>730985114
I'm with this dude, I know people pulling upwards of 3 units per 750w DE fixture, If that's not efficient I don't know what is.
>>
>>730985243
you can go to coco but you won't see any benefit from it unless you utilize its ability to be watered A LOT. if you're going to go coco then build a drip system to take advantage of the cocos ability to be lightly watered several times a day.

as for what shop i have i won't say.
>>
>>730985897
No, we have vegetative rooms and flowering rooms in our facility. My business partner has done his research. A plant is a plant, and all plants grow under different conditions. He gets that. Just because I'm just an idiot math / business guy doesn't mean his PhD is worthless. I don't understand this shit. He does.
>>
>>730986048
exactly. people get so caught up in the energy consumption when it is quite literally irrelevant compared to the return on that investment. so many people hamstring them self stepping over dollars to save pennies.
>>
>>730977175
would I be able to grow 3 plants with a 150w hps light?
>>
>>730986216
what you're not understanding is that your background in physics is much more relevant to the issue of lighting than a horticulture degree could ever be.

honestly take time and apply your physics knowledge to this issue and should become clear immediately. if you don't want to do that then spend a few hundred bucks and invest in buying a PAR meter and test the LED's and you will see what i'm talking about. little to no spread of light to cover the footprint you need them to cover.
>>
>>730986675
sure. just don't expect to grow pounds. keep the light focused on a 2'x2' area for best result.
>>
>>730984313
Hmm I would like to know too about to flower as well
>>
>>730986694
Trust me, I'll do my research. I'm real glad I said something now. We haven't rushed into anything yet, but we've had to put some numbers together for an investor. I'll consult with my partner and we'll look at the lighting thing again.

a couple days at most will be fine. depending on the strain it will be in flower for 8-12 weeks before it's ready to harvest. the best way to know when its done is to look at the trichromes and cut it down when they all turn milky white.

thank you. seriously do your homework. i would not be surprised if you run into people that will defend LED lights with religious like zeal. i don't know why they are so heavily invested in them but many refuse to see reason even when you present them evidence to their face that completely counters their beliefs. don't listen to marketing or bullshit like that.

create a 4'x4' grid on the ground and center your light on top of it and take measurements at every point. this is the ONLY way to accurately judge a grow lights worthiness.

keep it simple. if all else fails go back to organic nutes since ph and nute burn won't be an issue. preventative bug treatment is the only bug treatment. if you wait for infestation before taking action you're going to be constantly fighting a losing battle.

Outdoor organic is the best way to go if you can.

We used to have sativa regens planted the second spring that would reach 8ft. This was in upstate NY mind you... Not prime growing conditions. All organic. Fox farm, fish emulsion, bat guano, neem oil. No garbage fertilizers or animal/insect deterrents.

We always made sure soil and water was Ph correct b4 planting and watering. Group plants in no more than 5-10 so game wardens or helicopters looking for plants are less likely to find them.

It's like those sweet amazing heirloom summer tomatoes. Nothing better than late fall organic bud. And I haven't smoked in like 8 years. Just love to grow things.

Hey, I am in California and some friends of mine wanted to start a legit weed business. They both have their medical licenses and they're currently building a grow room and will be using hydroponics to get their feet wet. Any tips for first timers?

not OP, but i'm pretty sure he skipped your question because of how long the answer would be. depends on if you're looking to grow for personal or distribution? soil or hydro? just producing buds at any quality or some breaking bad style super-buds? all have VERY different methods. i went with distribution, hydro, super buds. dropped $9k and 1 month on just the set up alone, yielded 12 pounds every 3 months of the highest quality bud in my college town. bought a beemer with my first cycle and paid the rest of college tuition on the next two. graduated debt free thanks to bud. and they say money doesn't grow on trees, kek.

Also, do i need a dark period before harvest ?

>>731004971
honestly, we didn't use much of a "time table" as much as we used magnifiers to check the spores. once they hit the ideal amber color, we'd harvest. DO NOT damage the plant by trimming before harvest. clip after its been dried.

curing is more an art than a science. we had a large enough yield to be able to play with it a bit. we found that after harvest, about 2 weeks drying, then placed in an air-tight container for another week(after trimming) eliminated almost all water weight and produced some FRAGRANT buds that crumbled easy and smoked smooth.

go to the nearest hydroponics store. they will be able to provide you with the best advice for the climate in your area. just say youre growing tomatoes (if youre in a state where its still illegal) as they have the most similar hydro growth standards. plus they can order any specific piece of equipment you need within a few days

>>731006215
not OP, but if you're just growing personal, i'd recommend soil grown. uness you have some extra cash for a hydro set up. from there, need some more info. how much space do you have? is it legal in your area? are you going for CBD or THC, even on both, or heavy on one or the other? do you want to control the color of the buds (purple, red, bright green) or do you want the most of it natural form?

if you're looking just to have buds and save on cash, simple soil planter(s) (start small, transplant to larger as it grows) will do the trick. minimal maintenance (it is in fact a weed after all. once it starts growing you will have to try to kill it. though quality will suffer from some negligence, will die with no water or light). color is dependent on temperature and nutrients. too cold and it will turn drk blue/purple. too much copper in the soil will do the same. high heat/UV will turn it bright green. these will not affect the THC/CBD content, just appearance and maybe smell. THC/CBD content depends mostly on the strain and somewhat on when you harvest. get a spore magnifier to check the tiny little THC spores on the leaves. white = not ripe/ more CBD. brown = too ripe, quality is down. amber/gold = perfect natural form. the shopping list is a bit too long and detailed for a post on here, but that can be found very easily depend on how much you want to yield and how often. if soil, go to nearest gardening store and ask to set up an indoor tomato plant. everything is the same. if hyrdo, same thing at a hydroponic store. these are much harder to come by and you might have to take a trip to find one, but damn is it worth it. we're talking a difference of about 5-10% THC on the same strain, soil vs hydro. i'd recommend going to the shop for the shopping list vs asking us or reditt because they will give you specifics based on your area's climate and forecasted changes . may call for more of a certain nutrient, different amounts of nutrients, etc.

we had 3 caretakers, only wanted an ounce each every month. we were harvesting 12 pound every the months at first, then every month after we got a separate veg rooms. the vast majority of it obviously went to non-medical customers. as far as being carcinogens, im not too sure on that. as i said, i wasn't in charge of that part, but the guy that was was annoyingly organic(oregon native), so im sure it couldn't have been too bad or he'd have annoyed the shit out of us and killed sales by advising all our customers about it (oh shit, a drug dealer with morals, who'd have thunk)

Ummm well I mean I treat it a lot like indoor (topping and Fiiming regularly) with pruning but the support system needs to be prepared for prolific growth and weight--particularly for the odd summer storm that can rage through depending on location.

I feel like I get much more taste from the terpenes on my own outdoor than indoor. Maybe my nugs are as compacted and dense but I feel like there is a markedly different flavor difference between sungrown and outdoor.

Plus the temp and pH issues aren't as worrisome when you've got the grow established.

I know people in the moutains need to worry about deer or other vermin but in NorCal I've been a-ok.

The amount of power that indoor grow systems use is fucking insane. I mean on a global scale. weed is literally a weed that can grow and fruit almost anywhere. North East with short summers... I've done 50 to 100 plant cluster set ups for several seasons. All organic. These kids now are used to chemical indoor, wax, and oil. No more real vegitation.

Recommend a Cloner? Also Root Booster Yes or no?
How many times do you or can you reveg your mother plants?
HPS MH LED T5 or what? Recommend a certain brand?
do you use FIMing?
Ever do Bubbleponics? Results?


Also a Tip for some of you low budget/small growers. Add Sugar, water, and yeast in your grow area. About once a week or so (when it stops bubbling) dump out half the water and add more sugar and water to it no need to add more yeast.

it Release Carbon Dixiodie, and helps firm your buds.

~1kw HPS on amazon 150 or so
~Clones 10 bucks each
~Promix 30-40 bucks a bag
~Fan You prob have one
~general hydro 3 stage nutrients like 45 bucks.
~`i plant in 5 galon buckets indoor drill holes in bottom and put in another bucket(1-5)
~Plastic to put in closet to make smaller area. (20-50)


Nice to have
~Spider mite treatment or Lady bugs (20)
~carbon filter and dryer ductwork for budding stage (40-60)

Also if you get mites and are broke, use dawn dish washing liquid with water mixed till you can get mite treatment. Also ive heard yellow paper funneled into a bottle with water for soil gnats.


ive gotten like 1.5-2 pounds every 4-5 months or so with 6 plants. in my area green bud goes for like 2200 a pound or 250 a ounce.

thats 1100 a month with 4 month turn around, 880 for 5 month.


Dont tell anyone your growing thats when you get busted for bragging and or someone steals it and your pokemon games, dont get nervious if helacocsucker flys over your house. they cant get probable cause in the USA to get a search warrent if they just detect the signature from a helacocksucker.

Weed is a wild weed you moron.

You retarded or somethin'?

The question is how to hasten the invasion.
>>
>>731014800
Not op, but sounds cool. Get a pie zero if your going to do it.


Personally I use a thermal plug to ac, either beer bottles for water or a pressure regulater with the cheap 1/4 inch sprayers from amazon (like 20 bucks to buy a kit of them 1/2 inch more expensive)

It would be neat to make a cloner that would have a sesor and some servos or something that could detect when the roots are close to the sprayers, pop out the pool noodles/clones (i cut them for cloner holes cause im cheap) then pop them into red solo cups.


Perhaps some sort of new cloner with a belt made of cheese cloth or something that you can set in days how long till they go thru and fall into a Rubbermaid tote with root activator in it so they dont entangle in the sprayers.


Im thinking something simliar to a pizza hut or pizza place pizza oven that the pizza gets put in one side and pops out the other.

they would fall into the tote so they wouldnt die and youd pick them out of it and then plant them.


Pie with like 3 sensors or webcams to take a pic at day 2-6-8 would be nice, it could slow the belt drive down if roots were not large enough.
>>
>>731015125


Community action/planting all at one time.


Also, use hardy strains. It may be wild but in my area it has a hard time coming back up and acts more like an annual. Also if it was that invasive youd have a ton of male plants. esp from seeds.
>>
>>731012437
if your from the USA you cant get in trouble for ordering seeds from out of country aka maersterdam whatever. only ything that may go wrong it they take the seeds and leave a notecard saying they took your stuff.

it is illegal to send from inside the usa though, and you can get in trouble for interstate commerce.


Its retarded but thats how it is right now.
>>
>>731010795
I plant in buckets and then set them high up in trees with self climber deer stand sometimes. Usually dead trees or trees with little amount of branches or big gaps for light.


Keeps deer rabbits and groundhogs and critters out, wrap chicken wire around them if squirrels mess with them.


Also tends to hide them from people more cause they dont look up.


Carefull with hills and such, as from top of hill it may be more eye level and or fro bottom of hill you tend to look upwards more and may see them.


Works really well in pine groves as signature from healcocksuker sees pine trees and pot as nearly the same. but its hard to plant near pines in the ground because PH levels/ Light levels. unless you bring your own dirt in.

What kind of light should i get for a stealth PC growbox?
>>
>>731017327
Also what kinda light you using that effects growth speed probably the most.

If your a hillbilly like me or dont wanna blow a ton, try a t5 bulb, or even just a led bulb that has the highest lumen output you can find.

set light just above the plant where your hand is warm but no to hot. set the plant in a box even and line it with aluminum foil to reflect light back up and such. you can even place aluminum foil over the soil around the plant.

A beer bottle works good filled with water for a cheap auto water at that size.

get some yeast and sugar water and mix together in a mason jar and set it in the box to make carbon dixiode to boost growth also. about once a week dump half the water and add fresh sugar water(no yeast this time) to make it start working again.

(option Soak lawn Mower Carbs in dumped water as its ethanol, or strip paint, or drink if you feel like it.


Place a plastic sheet or something over it to keep dixiode inside box. Also cut a hole on each side of the box (one up high and one down low.) and use 2 small fans. one blowing in, (low hole) and one blowing outwards ( high hole)

Led's Nice there low heat, full spectrum and not to expensive.


PC as in a stealth tower grow?
Youd need a big tower, like a old full tower thermaletake 3 case or something.

You would also need to start it on 12 hours light/dark at like 24 inchs tall or so for a 3ft tall tower.


Also throw a rasberry pie in it to make it work for more stealth, a beer can filled with active carbon with holes in it put in a fabric can coozie or wraped in a thin shirt or some sort of cheesecloth on the inside in front of the fan may help with the smell when your in budding stage.

How affordable have LED grow setups for a small number of plants become recently? I've been interested in starting again and doing it the RIGHT WAY this time, but price point is key.

Also, I've had two previous grows with HPS lights and a moderate sized room covered in mylar sheets. Is this the best way to do this, or does this even matter for light reflection?

If you do clones you can get quick turn around using "SOG" " (sea of green)

Pull clones from your motherplant

7-10days to root in cloner or rootone
2 weeks to get them to about 12 inchs tall (16-24 hours light)
30 Days or so for bud (12hours light/dark)


Plats get about 18 inches tall, and produce between 1/8th to a quarter every 2 months per plant.


I do the same thhing in solo cups with like 200, and usually i get like 2.75- 4.5 pounds every 2 Months.


kinda nice cause you dont need much height and can do it on multiple shelf in a closet you only need like 3ft height per shelf for it, and solo cups dont take much room.

i use promix and general hrdropinics 3 step nutrients.

dont let them get bigger then 12 inchs tall under 16-24 hours light.


a plant at 12inchs budded will be about 18 or so budded. at 12-12 light.


Look up Led grow lights on amazon, look for high watts or Lumens

but honestley for a setup like that size you only have like 2 plants. one of the cheap 20-50 buck small square lights would proabbly even work.

Is the majority really coming from Mexico/Canada or small home growers? Always wanted to ask this but fear my dealer might think Im sketchy.
>>
>>731019316
it will survive. If nothing else a Chicken brroder lamp or a reptile lamp (there silver and round with a light socket in the middle) and maybe a led flood light with high lumens would help. like 15-20 usd at wally world.

What about my question about strains?
I want a very high yielding top quality bud that is relatively easy to grow (no haze but not power plant either... big bud I dont like the taste too much)
>>
>>731019483
It depends.


If its green bud, its from someone in the states usually.

If its Brown or pressed or 20 bucks an eight its mexican pot or south america.


and chances are some mexican peed on that 50lb feed sack at one time or another. :P not being racist, but when carryin it over the border they sit it down and pee next to it all the time.

Ive been to a mexican grow that they used human poop as fertilizer even because no septic tank.


Personally i dont care much, but i prefer at least mids. (pressed pot thats green not brown and fluffs up decent with very very little seeds /stemps)

Im not OP i think he left im not sure. however it depends ALOT on what your looking to do. its hard to answer this for someone. It depends what type of high your looking for like full body or sleepy, energy or mellow etc.

Also sativsa or indica, if you want a stoner plant(high thc's) or you want something high in cbd's


also indoor or outdoor matters for size of plant, hardiness of plant etc.


You just got to read about it and figur eit out for yourself.


I pesonally run somebasic strains northern lights, white widdow, g13,


only "fancy" plant i have is one called "Rock Bud" its like 80/20 indica. I just love the look of it myself.
>>
>>731019475
Just to clarify. At first I should get them to 12 inches under 16-24 light and when the plant reaches it i switch to 12-12?

I've found some cheap 12-15W LED growing bulbs with around 800-1200 lumens each. 2 or 3 of these would be enough?

>>731020133
thanks for your answer bro..

but i said twice that i want some sort of kush which is mostly 40-60% or 50-50% ... normally I would prefer sativa but the take way to long to flower... so 50-50% for me is ok

in my first post i said that im growing indoors.. i got all the basics done and ive tried many strains.. basics like nothern light, white widow, power plant, skunk etc etc and fancy strains that noone ever heard of

now i want some experienced growers to recommend me some good strains that are not big bud
>>
>>731020192
12 inchs for veg then they will reach 18 inchs or so under 12 12 light in bud stage

you can expect 30 days or so on avg to harvest after you switch to 12-12 light,


get clones if you can instead of seed to guarantee they are females and not males.

you can expect to get about 1/8th to a quarter per plant.

Use "bloom buster" nutrients close to the end to make the buds really pop and fluff up.

remember though during 12/12 light youll start to smell them and may need a carbon filter of some type.

2 would prob work just fine. if they sell any of them that say full spectrum there a little bit better then regular ones.

>>731020699
>er 2x 15W LED
Hes only gowing like -12 plants in a pc tower and then even only to about 18 inchs tall.

Minimum amount of lighting needed is around 2000 lumens per square foot.
(Two – 23 watt CFL’s, per square foot*)


Optimal is 7000-7500, or higher, lumens per square foot.
(Five – 23 watt CFL’s, per square foot*)


THast at like 3-5 inchs spacing


i said 2 led grow lights because thats prob about all he can fit in it.


If you can fit 4 go for it!

use as many as you can fit, that dosent raise the temp in it to high.


Honestly instead of a PC tower, a large older floor speaker would proably work better, open the back up take out the speaker and put it in there.
>>
>>731021137
sorry supposed to say 2 plants.

and thats 18 inch tall at harvest, 12 when he starts to bud.

how much money does each make per year?

I may have a few dozen plants. they arent in the best health since i've been forced to neglect them. my 12 site ebb flow buckets malfunction like a bitch. soil has been most reliable for me. what do you do to automate your setup so you're not chained to your grow?
>>
>>731021825
for water i use the cheap 1/4 systems on amazon, connected dierctly to waterhose/faucet with a pressure regulator. mount above and let them drip not spray. turn down pressure/waterflow until saturated but not soaking. it will end up being a very slow drip.

>>
>>731022002
thats only like 24 bucks bub.

before that i used 2 liter pop bottels with a whole drilled in lid, press firmly into soil so it comes out slow. you could even use a Bucket connected to your guter down spout and run a waterhose inside, and some small holes and gravity feed.

also, what about inline feeding? how do you automate nutrients? the first few months are fine because it's in the soil, but towards the end I want to make sure they aren't starving for nitrogen etc.
>>
>>731022259
its best to use declor, i live in the woods though and have spring water so i dont need to worry about it.
you can use the same setup without a pressure regulator by plumbing the tubeing into 5 gallon buckets or what not.
then you can use the tap water, just let it set out for a few days.

>>731022359
Honeslty bub im a hillbilly, i live in the woods and dont work and im alwasy home so i just feed by hand usually. However if you did the buckets you could mix the feed in them then the next bucket use straight water, and or slowly add more liquid feed until you find a level they like.


its beeter to start to thing with feed for constant feeding then mix it to strong and get nutrient burn.


i use promix so i have to feed from start. i wont use potting soil.


Also it never hurts to mix a little diatomaceous earth in with your soil for bugs.
>>
>>731019736
It's mostly fucking irrelevant.
Strains don't matter nearly as much as how the plant is treated while growing.

Imagine taking human genetic twins, raise one on good food in a perfect environment and routine, and the other on cheeseburgers and coke and keep him locked in a trash house.
Theyre genetically identical, but one is obviously going to be far superior to the other.

Don't fall for the fancy name game.
It's a meme

seriously, the time and money you'd waste on school would be better spent on trial and error grows. clones are a fucking $10 spot and seeds can be even cheaper or free. Lots of big growers prune and toss the tops. You could essentially get free clones if the grower is cool.

depends on the gene pool. if starting with designer weed then there is a good chance that potency will carry on. shitty recessive genes could pop up, but it wouldn't take much to sample the wild plants and decide to utilize it or not. if i wasnt such a stingy bastard i'd have seeded my county by now.

Me and my dad are growing some plants outdoors. He grew a lot in the 80s. He never ONCE purchased weed from his teens to his late 20s. So, he has a bit of experience, but it's my first time. I'm just wondering how the fuck to keep ants away from my plants, as I had some crawling into the pots that they're growing in yesterday. Also wondering if you've got any good nutrients recommendations I could check out. These are outdoor plants, by the way.
