Thanks. But where would I find the "true wattage" for a given light? :) As for a "room vs a tent" I don't disagree, but due to my space restrictions I think a tent would be a better "fit" for me, even if it is more fiddly to work with. Thanks!

I also notice they have these for about $100 CND. It's 36''x20''x63"...

Hi, thanks, I will look at the grow light thread. For the insulating boards, how did you seal the seams to make it air/smell tight? Thanks! DM

Anyone? Maybe I should make a new post? I'll wait and see. Thanks

OK, time for a much overdue update. The plants are doing pretty well. I've had to re-pot them once, and they have a lot of new growth. I know (finally) have the nutrients for the 3 things I was using on top of what was/is the main soil medium, which is just plain old potting soil with nothing...

I forgot to get the NPK of the dirt and firt and the plant heights but I'll get them today. Any advice based on the ph values I got would be great. Thanks!

Hi all. Well I calibrated my digital water ph meter and the bottled spring water has a ph of 8.2. The runoff has a ph of 7.5. I did get a new soil ph meter but it's just a cheap thing so I wouldn't say that it's likely to be very accurate. It says the soils ph is around 7, which would make...

Thanks. I kinda figured that at the size these guys were at, it wasn't really going to be a problem, but it's also good to get confirmation when you're at the stage where you're "loving your plants to death." lol Oh, do you have any advice for the digital PH meter? Thanks!

Might have been. But I just cut them. My plants aren't that big yet so I figured it wasn't as big a problem. In fact, to my surprise, when I went to prune the damaged leaves, I found that I had to be very careful because the plant was already starting to sprout new leaves just above the damaged...

Sorry, I've got one more question. I read on another post someone mention putting honey over the "wound" after cutting a stem off at the stock, and wanted to know if that was something I should also do? Thanks!

OK thanks. That's the info I needed. As it recovers will it grow new leaf stems to replace the lost ones? Maybe not in exactly the same place, but, in the end, somewhere? Assuming I don't "love them to death" first of course. heh Edit: I just want to say again, I don't know how these things...

OK, fair enough. lol So do I clip the leaves in the circles listed as "1" at spot 3a, or 3b? lol Also, do I need to do the same for the much less damaged leaves shown as "2"?? Thanks. Hopefully stopping the fert water will stabilize things. Although, I'm a little concerned now that adding any...

Thanks for the advice. I'd already stopped with the nut water and went back to spring water, which seems to have helped. I'm going to calibrate the ph tester this afternoon. Thanks for the tip about testing the water that runs out. I wouldn't have thought of that. Also, I'm still waiting for my...

I wasn't able to get ph strips in town atm, so I had to order a digital one online. It just came it but it seems I have to calibrate it first. I'll be doing that tomorrow. I also got a soil ph meter but it showed up DOA, so I have to send it back. I do have a working soil moisture meter and have...

Do I just cut the dead part of the leaf or the whole leaf? It's just a basic soil with some fert in it. I also have fert crystals I can mix with water that has more nutrients in it but I think the soil is doing the job. The soil with the fert in it was to spongy, as I said, so I mixed it with...

So is the darker green in the centre of the leaf that's in focus in the last photo normal or to much nitrogen? Also, do I leave the leaves with the dead parts alone or if not, what do I do? :) Thanks! Edit: BTW, I have no idea how these things ever survived evolution. Their like delicate...

Small update. (Not so small...) So, I got some fertilizer that you dissolve in water, as that's all I could find mid summer in my town, and some new pots and that's where things took an ugly turn... These pots I bought had these 2 "holes" in them that, from the bottom, all you could see was...

Thanks, the dirt is potting soil. The guide I got with the seeds said not to use fert for the first few weeks because of how fragile they are. I'll put a fan on them to help strengthen them up. I'll keep checking for mites, but I think the first spray got them all or almost all of them. I wiped...

Hi, I'm growing for the first time and have run into some problems, plus I have some general questions. First, in case it matters, I'm growing 5 Alive and Star Killer from seeds. I admittedly, started late, partly due to it being a cold spring, and being busy dealing with the pandemic, so I...
