420Captain first grow. How are they doing ?

Thank you! I think I was a bit cautious, but I still removed quite a lot of leaves, or so it feels. I think I have the watering under control. They get around 2 liters per plant every 48 hours (big lady's tent 1) They were watered 24 hours ago, and today...

Thank you!

I think I was a bit cautious, but I still removed quite a lot of leaves, or so it feels.
I think I have the watering under control.
They get around 2 liters per plant every 48 hours (big lady's tent 1)
They were watered 24 hours ago, and today they don't feel dry yet. So probably again tomorrow.

Sounds good not taking too much at a time.
Yeah forget i asked about the watering.
Just checked your pics again but it looks fine. I don't know what i thought i saw when i first looked.

I don't remember who said to give about 10% water of the pot size, but that works for me :-)

Think about that... how's that work for ya? How's that work at 10% when water demand increases?

I've found 1 gal is a perfect amount for 5-10gal pots. 1 gallon soakes the medium. 1gal makes the pot heavy. 1gal often will not even give me run off...I know where your heads going....salt build up. That never happens and I run salts exclusively in a blank medium.

3gal pots i run 1/2gal every watering.

Oh hell yeah!! Spider farmer where are you!!?? I'm still waiting for sponsorship 😂
I allready bought a trimming tray and an extra fan, seeds and nutrients for next round... I'm going broke, i told my wife if i grow my own weed it's much cheaper, she don't believe me 😂😂

How about you guys ? How much do you spend on nutrients/seeds per round ?

Very little. About 100/yr usd mostly trade for seeds.

I barely spend anything, living soil is the way to go if you dont go overboard. All you really need is a base like pro mix or happy frog, rice hulls or straw, I heavily prefer rice hulls but straw is like 3 dollars for a half bale. buy a big bag of those, buy a big container of gaia 4 4 4 and gaia 2 8 4, some worm castings and water only. Never use as much as they say its a waste. Clone your plants and seed cost is irrelevant. Clonex is cheap because it lasts forever. After years of tweaking things and sourcing, I pay barely anything to grow bud. Tents last years, lights and fans last years, initial cost of living soil is a little bit, but buy bulk, use less and it becomes extremely cheap and self sustainable. You cam also make your own inputs for free if you have the time ✌️

Yeah I think if I bought my seeds I'd still be in 100/yr USD. But I'd be cloning a little too so $35 for the bucket and gel, $25 for the surgery tools kit.

Captain jacks for the mold/fungus, BioAdvanced Organics Insect soap...

Nah, for now i'll keep the setup i have, it's not bad. But it feels like i spend thousands the last weeks on all the gear i bought and everything i needed to start..
But you right, everything should last long, and it will pay for itself.

For years i've been going to coffeeshops at 10€ per gram.... So i always be cheaper then going there again 😅

And i only bought 1 bag soil to start in the small pots, whenever i can repot them, i will get some bags localy.

I asked Chatgpt to do a harvest guess. He/she/it says for tent 1 400/500gr, and for tent 2 250/320.
You guys agree or disagree ?
Click to expand...
No. I disagree.
Figures grabbed out of thin air.
Totally random.
On the positive side the estimate leaves room for hiccups, if i should judge. Even without knowing the size of your plants.
How tall are they circa now we talk about it?


But i was thinking maybe keep some popcorn for early testers.
And you can test like day to day.

They also dry quick if the weed hunger shows up. 😉
And after harvest while your buds cure, you can smoke them, knowing your buds will be even better.😃

I understand what you saying, but i don't think it's gonna be far of.

Around 60/70 cm now.


For sure a good tip, thnx!
Does the hunger ever leave ? 😂

I bought the Grove bags, u used them ?
