Speaking from personal experience, taking things to serious.
Just enjoy the process and get better. It's ok to be bad at something when you first start.

As a new grower how does this look? Week 5 on grandaddy purple auto flower.

Sf2000 and Sf1000

Flora series with hydroguard

4'6" x 2'3" tent

5 gallon dwc

Drinking 3 gallons of water almost daily now. It's by far the longest auto I've grown and close to the biggest.

I’d appreciate your opinion—does my plant look okay for day 21? A few days ago, I accidentally messed up the water pH, but it seems the plant has recovered well. It does have some burns, as you can see in the photo. This is my first time growing.

Just harvested. What do you guys think. Too early? Too late? What amount do you guys think this is

Converted my sauna into a grow tent 😛 .. currently growing 3 Death Bubba plants

I finally got around to testing both these lights yesterday. I originally bought the evo3 for my new 2x4 tent instead of the SE4500 but once I got my PhotoBio PAR meter and tested the far edges of the tent I knew I needed more light. I started looking at the IONBEAM S16 supplement light strips and realized I would need at least 6 strips minimum to cover what I’d like and to do that I’d have to buy 2 sets which would cost $180 which didn’t seem logical when I can buy a whole new light fixture (SE4500) for $40 more. Plus I don’t know how much ppfd those strips even output so it was a gamble I didn’t want to take.

I ordered the 2026 SE4500 and I only tested dead center and the left side wall since that’s where the biggest ppfd drop occurs. I leveled my tripod at both 12” and 18” away from the light and took the readings with the tent fully closed.

The build quality on both lights is nice but the EVO3 is far better in construction and material. It weighs twice as much as the SE4500 while being much shorter. The SE4500 is very lightweight for its size which is nice for hanging but it feels fragile compared to the EVO3. That won’t matter much tho once you have it hanging in the tent unless you plan on moving it around where the chance of dropping it or banging it against something is greater. The SE4500 also gets hotter, both the driver and fixture itself compared to the EVO3.

Note, each level represents the percentage of power being used so 10 is 10% and 80 is 80% intensity. Also, the SE4500 controller starts at 11 (11%) whereas the EVO3 starts at 10 (10%) so that’s the only difference when testing each level between the two. The SE4500 controller also allows for micro adjustments so you can select any range between 11-100 whereas the EVO3 has fixed levels in 10% intervals so you can’t get it to 63% for example, it’ll have to be either 60% or 70%.

Strain - Crunch Berries 🫐🍇 🔥 !

This is day 8 since sprouting . First time growing indoors , im not really sure what to expect. Im worried theyre not growing fast and im missing something.

I have micro , grow, bloom . Aswell as big bud and bud candy to feed them once they get big enough to transplant into fabric pots.

What do you think?

Auto in flower for 2-3 weeks. 18/6 light cycle. Watering with PH 6-7. Soil is biobizz all mix. I gave her some P-K and calcium solution 4 days ago.

Gorilla Cookies Auto, 26 days. Is all going fine, bro?

Hey Leute geht bei euch auch die GGS App nicht mehr
Soll wohl ein Server Problem sein!?!?

Picture was token 30 minutes after the lights turned on. This doesn't looks right to me. 3 photoperiodics that I overwatered one week ago. Stopped giving water for days and looks more dry now, I watered them with 700 ml each today. Soil is a light mix. I started nutrients one week ago and this doesn't look like a nutrient burn. Can't be a Ph issue also because I use the PH perfect nutriments for AN.also transplanted them on friday in this 5 gal pot, they were in a 0.2 gal earlier. Can this we related to the transpoting?

How far out to chop? Thanks

Is anyone having an issue with the app? I cant seem to log in it times out
