Was wondering if anyone does this? Would it be beneficial or possibly cause issues? Would love it if this works 😂

I grew same seed before with 18/6. What was the big difference u may ask. We'll structured the same way. Grew same way but finished on day 76 (today) compared to 100 days with 18/6.

Other difference was maybe slightly bigger buds on 18/6 but not by much

About 7 weeks old auto flower out door, buildasoil thenan there all organic topper at about week 6 how’s she look? What else should I be doing and how much longer do you think till harvest??

I have 4 Diesel plants that have been in Flowering for 7 weeks, since the first week of July. I was planning for 8-11 weeks until harvest and I think I’m on track, but the trichomes look pretty darn milky now. Do I let them run another week or two?

I think it’s ready.

Biggest plant too. :/

I think I may have stressed/burned some of the plants because the light was too close.
Do you see any signs of bud rot? Should I harvest already? And does anyone know what the white stuff on the soil is? Should I be worried about the mushroom? I use a 60x60x180 grow tend and 60W light. First grow :)
Any advice would be appreciated!

It’s day 28 of flower on my first grow, and there’s a few branches shorter than others. I’ve been practicing some leaf tucking, and occasionally trimming some fan leaves so that everyone is getting light.

Is there anything I can do to help them catch up?

Hey guys i need some help...i had a total of 3 girls going from spring to now 2 i did some lst with and the 3rd a let do its oen thing.The first 2 sprouted a week before my 3rd ...thanks to tornado warnings and rain for almost 2 weeks straight mold set in and bud rot got my first 2 but i was able to get this lady before another 4 days of rain...but should i trim it doen now and hang n dark box witb air vents? Or leave the leafs on there as im told durong the dry the trichomes from the sugar leaves add some terps to the flower? My temps are 68 and rh is 62 ..Or can anyone recomend a video for me to watch iv been watching some youtube videos and everyone does it their own way and im jist tryin to find the most beginner freindly.

Hey GrowBuddies,

​I've asked a thing or two about winter preparation here recently. Real winter is approaching, and the same panic can be seen everywhere: Temperatures in unheated basements are slowly dropping towards 10–15 °C (50–59 °F), so a 500W space heater is quickly thrown into the tent. The temperature finally hits 25 °C (77 °F), but suddenly the plants start looking crispy and stressed. Why? Because most of the time, the wrong metric is being chased.

​The Physics: Sensible vs. Latent Heat

A normal space heater generates sensible heat – it brutally raises the air temperature, but simultaneously strips all the moisture from the room air. This causes the relative humidity (RH) to crash instantly and sends the VPD skyrocketing.

​The Humidifier Band-Aid (The Automation Madness)

The standard answer to this is almost always: Then I will just add a humidifier!

Most of the time, the space heater and humidifier are then hooked up to an automated controller – and thermodynamically speaking, a complete nightmare is created. The heater dries out the air, the controller counters this and turns on the humidifier. Humidity shoots up, the controller panics and cranks up the exhaust fan to manage the chaos (sensor chasing). Massive amounts of electricity are wasted while the values in the tent yo-yo up and down.

​Worse still: the second the light or the heater turns off, this artificially heated, wet air hits the cold tent walls. The dew point drops, water condenses, and the perfect incubator for bud rot has been created. My cascade system completely eliminates this electronic gear war and runs absolutely clean without these artificial fluctuations instead.

​The Zero-Watt Solution & The Evaporation Engine

In my setups, active room heaters have been completely banished. The foundation for this is autoflower genetics on a continuous 24/7 light cycle: the constantly running main LED provides the permanent thermal base load, completely eliminating the critical temperature drop of a dark period.

​Building on this, a semi-closed thermodynamic cascade (semi-closed loop) is used. The convective waste heat from the LED drivers (Vivosun AeroLights) is captured and mixed with the cold fresh air using a thermal airlock. Instead of heating the room, a retired 60W supplemental LED at ground level is used as a pure evaporation engine to drive the plants' metabolism. This pre-conditioned mixed air is then actively routed to the ground via a perforated matrix (an S-shaped duct) – separated from the cold concrete floor by a 5 cm (2 inch) styrofoam decoupling.

​The Proof of Concept (March Start) & The Upcoming Winter Test

That the mechanics behind this work was proven by the last run starting in mid-March, when the basement was still bitterly cold. In the early seedling stage, the system primarily blocked out the cold through the insulation. But as soon as the plants developed enough leaf mass, pure physics took over: the result was an absolute VPD flatline, which from then on was maintained purely by transpiration (latent heat).

​This entire cycle was logged minute by minute. The system possesses such massive thermal inertia (lumped-capacitance model) that during a critical phase, it effortlessly absorbed an unplanned 45-minute power outage and autonomously returned to the target corridor afterward.

​To guarantee absolute precision during measurement, the recording was run via dual-sensor validation with an additional external digital sensor – the values were even calibrated downwards by 1 °C for safety. The raw CSV data with over 116,000 strictly validated data points proves this in black and white.

​Whether the system will maintain this absolute stability when the basement truly drops towards 5 °C (41 °F) in deep winter remains to be seen. That is exactly why the data loggers are currently being prepped for the ultimate sub-zero stress test.

​Just out of curiosity: How is the Delta-T (temperature difference) between a cold lung room and the canopy actually best controlled without triggering this constant space heater vs. humidifier war in the tent?

Day 17 of flower so far, never had bud mold this early before! First pictures show what every bud on this plant looks like, and the last photo is what the buds look like on every other plant. Definitely a difference!

(Square one genetics- Ocean Rosa)This is my first grow can you guys let me know estimated time to chop I’m thinking 1 more week….2 tops

4 days since my last post, had to lose some leaves sadly but i got new growth, so Im excited. Switched my plant to inside with some new lights! Anything I could change?

I'm pouring 2 gallons of water into this thing every day. My entire family doesn't consume that much water on a daily basis. Been a fun experiment filling a 2x4 tent with one plant.

Day 26 of flower on my very first grow - Trainwreck Photoperiod - and I have never been happier. This may be an odd question but do you guys ever have like…favorite buds? Like I open my tent and there’s like 2-3 that I look for every time and there they are to greet me 😂

I am absolutely in love with growing this dang plant. I’ve already bought a shit ton more seeds to keep it going, too. I made sure to get a bunch since I learned about the seed ban.

Thanks to all of you fine folks who’ve helped me along on this journey. Now here’s to Flowering and moving forward!

Peace ✌🏼
