New Grower Here

[Gee4thefee]

Hi. New grower here in a state that is still illegal lol . This is my very first grow . PLEASE give me ANY feedback/ advice on what you see so far. 10 gal pots 3 diff strains

Looks great! Just beware when they stretch it will be extremely packed in there with all those limbs. Dehu should be handy. What’s nutes/soil/light are you running?

Welcome to the farm

I would ditch The net its just set to high to be of any use More importantly
I wouldn’t buy anymore of them co2 bags you may as well breathe on them you’d get the same results

There made for new growers to pick your pocket as they do nothing as said either breathing on them would give the same amount of co2 as the bags do there literally of no benefit at all

To run co2 properly you need tanks & a sealed room

The bags are just a gimmick

Anyways welcome & I Hope you enjoy it here

Agree with @Gmix unless you will be double trellising. Are you in flower already? Keep in mind the plant can stretch 2-4 times its size during the first 30 days of flower depending on strain.

Thank you . I need to know if i can put the dehu inside the tent ? Running coco in all pots . 2 pots on right of tent are lotus nutrients . 2 pots on left are Gaia Green

I do not mind making a 2nd trellis net. I have not flipped to flower yet . Should i flip soon ? I was thinking that all of the plants need to touch the trellis before flipping

I just amended my 2gal with Gaia 444. The stuff is amazing! : ) are you feeding them anything on top of the Gaia?

No. Just worm castings perlite co co and Gaia. When watering i add silica and cal mag

Im asking because im running a peat based “pro mix” style of medium. I amend with the 444 and then pre flip, i top dress with more 444 and add the 284 power bloom along with feed green leaf mega crop and sweet candy every watering. Your plants are going to get really hungry! but i dont grow in coco so im slowly backing away and ill let the coco pros chime in! : )

The story of those co2 bags is that mushroom mycelium produce CO2 as a by product. The bags full of substrate and inoculum were widely sold at the time for a variety of mushrooms and amateurs to grow mushrooms from.

Now one day a certain grower on a certain site put 1 and 1 together to come up with 3 and pondered that he could use that small amount of co2 from his mushroom bags to increase his cannabis crop.

All this checks out as plants in increased co2 can biologically exceed normal maximum growth with CO2 being the limiting factor.

But disaster struck, the bags produced such small amounts and almost all was swiftly sucked from the tent by the extraction.

Although this didn't stop some seeing some dollar signs and bro science from evolving this mushroom growing bag into a repackaged cannabis product.

And here we are today with them still being widely sold...

I got excited reading you are using Gaia and skimmed/didnt register the coco part of your thread. I have never grown in coco, I’ve used my homemade peat based stuff and soil (which is where I’ve gained my little experience) you are probably way more in depth with your grow than i am with mine! i dont even PH anything! but something to look into for sure is if you need to be feeding more during flower, and what : )

If that's a temp and humidity meter hanging under the light it's in a real bad place normally they need shading from all direct light and any strong wind to read correctly otherwise they heat up past what the actual air temp is and humidity lowers falsely. Put it closer to the light to see the issue here and physics.

Prefer Coco on its own possibly with some perlite at most and to treat it as coco with daily or more watering. I personally think adding earth worm castings is not desirable and could subtract from the power of plain Coco.

My only thoughts on the grow all else is just experience and getting better with time, looks nice and feel will give a good harvest
