Mistakes I made:
1.) No Ph meter or up/down test kit. Had a Ph of 9 up to the 4th week.
2.) Ran lights 24/7 and ran Hps the whole time/had Mh bulbs just was lazy.
3.) Bought #3 buckets at Wormsway and was told they were 3 gallon. They are 1.5 gallon.
Problem I had:
1.)Ph of 9
2.)Power outage and 99 degree week
3.)A/c's were stolen.
4.)Ran outa cash and couldn't buy Ph meter.
What I have learned:
1.) The plants know how to grow better than I ever will. Leave them be!
2.) Ph balance is a must.
3.) Mh bulbs for first 4 weeks would have made big difference
4.) Use bigger buckets
5.) Run 18/6 lights.
Where I am at:
6.5 weeks and I have about 10% brown trichs
Smaller lants and yeild due to conditions
Ready to harvest in aboostut a week when the whites turn about 40% brown and start to pop.
My Big Girls look really nice evn if they are root bound. Started 12/12 last monday.
