Whiteflies

I found out that I have whiteflies in my bucket this morning, I’ve managed to prune the most infested leaves and from here on was wondering if neem oil is a good idea to treat the rest.

Need help with Diy cob led grow light

I'm thinking of getting a bridgelux gen 8 Vero SE 29 BXRC-30C10K1-C-84-SE

My question is would it be safe to drive this at 150-200 watts with proper active heat sink and a meanwell driver?

I'm growing for the 1st time as a hobbist in a 10 gallon pot. And im not much into tech so all the technical specs are too much for me. Please shade some light on this and share thoughts and ideas and give recommendations for the build thank you💚.

Is this UFO light a good budget option for me

I'm new to bucketeering and I'm looking to build a space bucket on a budget. I'm thinking about using a 5 liter pot for a single plant, is this UFO light a good option for me since it seems to be on sale right now.

lamp

Hey guys, I’m recently into building my second grow box but in a way smaller scale, which means 30x30cm or sth like that. What I was thinking was to get to about 75W.

Right now I’m into the research for the lamp or lamps I want to use. I think I want to go for 5000-6000K and maybe reduce that for blooming.

I added a picture of the color spectrum of a 25W plant lamp and I was wondering if this is any good.

I had problems with finding a good chart to compare .

So, every idea or advice is appreciated and hope you can help me, thanks.

I want an indoor plant but I’m in Florida so is it legal to just grow thca?

I am wanting a weed plant for my own use, but don’t know where to start. I live in Florida so growing weed is a felony so I was wondering if I was able to harvest the bud early to make Thca bud would it be legal?? Or if there is a way to just get rid of the smell entirely with a good ventilation system so I can grow normally but all of this is new to me and I wouldn’t know where to start so I’m posting this pls help

Single 5 gallon bucket

Hello fellow growers, I have two PAR38 bulbs, two pc fans and two 5 gal buckets. I have one young plant. Ideally, I would buy a couple more 5gal buckets for the spacers but then again don't feel like throwing another 20-30€. So my question: How about I make 2 buckets and put 1 bulb and 1 fan(exhaust) on each? Or maybe better 2 bulbs and 1 fan on one bucket? I know there would be necessary a lot of lst and topping but could it be done? And what about the intake? Just a hole somewhere and maybe glue a sock or something for the dust and hair? (got 2 cats) Thank you and muchos loves 😁❤️

How is my first ever growth doing?

Hi fellow growbuddies,

This is my first ever cannabis growth, and i am amased how easy and good its been so far with my Kratky Hydroponic setup.

I am sharing my yourney and hoping for some feedback from you.
My aim is to train my plant like this one in the last picture to get a nice bushy growth.
My aim is not huge yield, a yield from 20-30 grams per plant is enough. Quality over Quantity for sure.

Do you have any tips about improving training and/or pruning the plant?
Should i start with removing underlying nodes and/or leaves?

PH: 5.5-6
Temp: 20-25
Humidity: 60-70
Nutes: 3 part Masterblend, 3/4 strenght untill now.
Topped: 28 days after germination, also started training that day

is LST in a tight space really that productive

Hey guys, I'm about to start my first spacebucket with a diesel auto which is said to grow like 60-70cm indoors in a 5gal setup with enough raisers. I've read many times that people like to do LST to their plants in a spacebucket because of the limited height and because it maximazies the yield. I'm just wondering if LST really makes that much sense, because I'm afraid that the plants grow too dense and no light gets to the buttom leaves. I would trim the bottom leaves but I'm also afraid that it would be too much stress for the autoflower where you want to keep the stress as low as possible because of the limited time. So what would you advice me? take into account that I'm a beginner but idk, are my worries justiefied or can I do LST without worries?
