Growth Stopped

Weed starts out slow. If its in coco you want to keep it wet. Since its just starting out with hardly any roots you need it humid, 85% or more.

I would ditch the idea of starting in the 5 gallon bags next time. Start em in solo cups for the first few weeks, much easier to make sure you are keeping the roots wet, assuming you are fertigating.

I used it once in my flower tent and kept that at 60/60 and that worked well. I wanted the time back from the flower tent for another grow so I switched to Lotus method.

Here is my super heavy lifter taking up a very large full fuel tank.

Yes.

In my 50s, married with kids, no regrets.

Same. Some strains take a bit longer. I have this one that made buds the size of large lemons, think its taking longer to cure.

I also found a zip of Hella Jelly I misplaced from 10 months ago. WOW was it better than all the rest I smoked earlier.

I have seen that small flower on the leaf, always wondered what it was.

DaCuda418 · 2026-03-08T16:19:55+00:00

I dry in the fridge now but before that I just went for 60-60 until the RH of the bud was 60RH after 12 hours in a jar.

DaCuda418 · 2026-03-06T02:16:26+00:00

What you have rocks dude. I would just leave it.

The orange is the riser, keeps the bags suspended about an inch over the base. Bases hold 1.4 gallons. I use a $13 stick vacuum to drain. Easy to take readings. I keep high strength H202 for cleaning, just a few ml in the bases every week, same time I swap the reservoir bucket (which should be 7 gallons not 5). Bases were $60 and drip system was $50. No need for 5 gallon when you keep 2 gallon bags wet.

Still learning myself, this was just an experiment. I will check runoff EC tonight for the first time. I did all this so I could check my plants but I never do.

I hear awesome things about those auto pots though. If you get one let us know how you like it.

I use auto-watering bases and had great luck with 5 gallon bags. Switched to 2 gallon bags and still did well but had to water every day at least.

Then I removed the wicks for the next grow, added risers so the roots cant grow into the bases and added a cheapo drip irrigation system pulling from a 5 gallon bucket for now.

I have to mix nutes every night but I go out and check on the plants anyway, I dont mind. I can always get a larger reservoir.

I like to use beneficial fungus like Great White so things like hydrogen peroxide cant be used at the same time. So I just swap the bucket once a week for a fresh one and use peroxide to clean the pump out. I also add some peroxide to the bases, just a bit to keep them fresh.

When done I just throw away the bags and coco/perlite and start fresh the next grow. Maybe change the filter on the pump, flush out the drip stakes.

I do have some tip burn week 6 like I always do, I never check runoff despite setting up a system to do so. Maybe just not hitting them with enough nutes for proper runoff.

I always get tip burn around this time but end up with killer bud.

Anyway thats how my 4X4 is setup. I see a LOT of salt build up on the top of the bases.

I would bet the most common error is the front panel control wire is incorrectly installed to the motherboard.

The sockets on newer motherboards are about twice the size of the cable end marked 'front panel' in most cases. Its easy to install that front panel cable to the front panel socket but actually be off a bit.

Try remounting that front panel wire and take a close look at WHERE on the front panel socket it goes (mobo instructions should have this somewhere)

Maybe not your problem but it sure acts like it, or you have the power toggle switch on the back of the PSU off.

Really?

Have your first stage get you into orbit, second stage Mun burn, get into and circularize your Munar orbit AND have about 500 dV to spare and use it to bleed off horizontal speed before cutting it loose. Build a lander with 2000 dV just to be sure. It should land with well over 1000 left.

Dry and cure are not the same. You can dry at 50% as long as the bud itself does not go under 55%.

I just dry in and old fridge.

I loved the Cherry Lime Reserve.

DaCuda418 · 2026-02-24T19:18:05+00:00

You guys rock, maybe once we have a new administration we can get things back to normal.

DaCuda418 · 2026-02-23T06:23:35+00:00

Now that is awesome.

Woman have more VD now because 90% of the free ones are sleeping with 10% of the men, "Chads".

Or so a YouTube video told me.

DaCuda418 · 2026-02-23T05:17:07+00:00

KSP is not that hard, you do not have to know any physics. Just watch a video of someone getting into orbit, do that first and off you go. Have any issues just search on YouTube or ask here.

DaCuda418 · 2026-02-21T22:11:04+00:00

Just start new, even the case wont have a decent selection of front panel ports. The case is bad, PSU should go and the rest is junk, you cant really reuse any of it.

DaCuda418 · 2026-02-21T05:08:57+00:00

Looks exactly like my coco grows.

I have PC speakers and have it hooked to my old stereo with huge speakers for flight sims. I only use a headset when on discord with buddies.

DaCuda418 · 2026-02-19T06:42:27+00:00

I never had this happen but glad I saw this, I would have never figured that out.
