Live Stoner Chat Well Howdy!!

Hi, I'm a new grower that recently decided. I'm done with money hungry, shady dealers. I grow alot of what I eat so why not grow my meds as well right?
I enjoy time with my family, gardening, listening to record, going to shows,etc. I live in The Dirty South!! My goal is to retire on a small farm and live out my life simple, happy, and on my own time.

I had only grown once before I joined AFN. It was bagseed and was grown in a 5 gallon bucket outside with no nutes. It actually grew to be 5 feet tall "with lst"
But it was a male [emoji67] !!! I think i have pics I will post on here sometime. "I was so proud of it". Lol. Since I have joined The group I have grown out 5 autos. A sweet mango, northern lights, THC bomb,blueberry bliss, and sour diesel. All of them ended up pretty terrible. [emoji22]
Although each one ended up better than the last. From final weight of 5 grams to 14g. the first 3 had no nutes what so ever. I have upgraded my setup since then and have two peach crates full of nutes. "Trust me u know" lol and other random related grow stuff. my grow space is a 4x4x7 grow tent with two 180w leds, and 16.. 23w cfls with carbon filter and ventilation.

I'm here to learn as much as I can. I read several forums and message boards before deciding this was the right one for me. Everyone here has been really cool and so helpful already. I'm ready for any constructive criticism I can get.
Well I guess I have rambled on long enough. If anyone has any questions or comments feel free to have at it. Thanks again! !!! I feel like I just filled out a personals add[emoji186] ....

Really cool man! I would seriously suggest reading Muddy's tutorials in the new growers section. In that same section, there are many other reads that can help you out. The biggest concern now that you have nutes is over feeding leading to nute burn in the roots and leaves. Use 1/4 the amount suggested. Also use a good known soil for this type of application. Fox Farm Happy Frog has had it's problems but I think they have gotten past them. Many others to choose from. Another suggestion is to aerate your water as much as possible using many different methods. Roots need air. So if you use another 5 gallon bucket, drill as many holes in the side as you can. (Small holes).. Anyways, welcome to AFN and have fun.
