First Time Grower - What Nutrients Should I Use?

First Time Grower - What Nutrients Should I Use?

Hey everyone, this is my first grow and I’m still learning a lot

Currently growing a Shaman photoperiod strain in a coco peat + potting soil mix. Right now it’s getting natural sunlight and I’m planning to move it into a homemade grow setup later for flowering.

I haven’t used any nutrients yet except basic potting soil, so I wanted to ask:

- What nutrients would you recommend for a beginner?

- Organic or bottled nutrients?

- What works best for veg and flowering?

- Any low-cost nutrient suggestions?

Would really appreciate any advice

Gizzard Punch Day 32

The stretch finally slowed and the tent is packed wall to wall now. Frost is already creeping out onto the fan leaves this early, which is looking like a really good sign for resin production later in flower.

Running 5 plants in the Spider Farmer DWC and they’re drinking heavy a gal every day. Lollipopped hard underneath to push energy into the tops and improve airflow. Light is maxed out to the ceiling and the canopy is still reaching for more.

Genetics:
Gizzard Punch
(Wizard Punch x Blissful Wizard) x Girl Scout Glue (GSC x Gorilla Glue)

Starting to get that greasy look already. Curious to see how hard these stack over the next 3 weeks.

Curious what you guys think this canopy is gonna yield dry?

Defoliation

Banana Purple Punch at 49 days. Still trying to get the hang of defoliation as this is my second grow. Should I start the process now or wait until flowering begins? Thx

First run!

Spider farmer 3x3 g3000. Seedsman white widow auto. Fox farms trio with cal mag. Ph filtered water 6.2 run off is 6.3ish and holding around what I’m putting in PPM wise so no lockout. This is my first run ever wanted to post and get some human feedback lol. I think they’re good but some of the spotting has me worried a little. Been keeping up with cal mag etc. maybe they’re just divas idk. The bigger one gave me problems in the beginning but now it’s big af. March 28 sprout date LST day 18. The one flowering threw white hair at day 30 and I kind of feel like it skipped the whole veg thing haha. But any advice/ feedback is welcome! Fox farms ocean for soil. I’ve cleaned up the bottom more but wanted to show structure. Thanks everybody. Temp around 80° rh 50-55%. Smaller one is 15” bigger one around 20”. I had light at 12” but moved up to 18”. I also have oscillating fan blowing under canopy and I ghetto engineered a 20” box fan that’s metal zip tied pushing air down as well. So lots of air along with 4” carbon exhaust fan. Throttling that depending on RH. Fox farms trio with calmag is feed.

Can’t hook up my lights into my controller

Hey guys I have 2 Hortispectra B800pro Lights i bought used and tried to hook it onto my spiderfarmer GGS controller and ac5 via the provided RJ12 cable and adapters. When plugging the cables connected to the light controller ports (dual channel for Full spectrum and IR& Far-reds)
Into the GGS system the whole system keeps restarting itself like a circuit protection or something. From my understanding the compatible units have single dimming channels like spider-farmers LEDs while the other port is used for daisy chaining. Anyways is there anything i can do to make my lights dimmable via the controller/app?

Autowatering Gravity Feed System Update

It has been a while since I have posted an update on my Speedrun Seeds strain Juice Pop using the gravity fed watering system for the first time ever. This plant broke ground on March 10th and she is looking very pleasing to my eyes anyways. I have kept a conservative nutrient schedule since I've never grown using this type of system. Combined with the Speedrun Seed genetics, the Spider Farmer Watering Reservoir will be used in my grow tent until eternity based off of the results alone. Suggestions or constructive criticism is welcomed. Happy growing everybody!

Titan F1 . Day 45

I’m currently growing autoflowers and I’m running a 24/0 light cycle. I’m in the flowering stage and I’d like to know what PPFD levels you guys recommend for optimal growth without stressing the plants.
Since I’m running lights 24 hours a day, I know the daily light integral (DLI)
adds up quickly compared to 18/6 or 20/4. What range should I aim for to avoid light burn?
