I didn’t find here where new members get introduced.
So I’m posting here, but feel free to move me if it is the wrong spot.
I see many being intro’d be in normal forums.
I have been growing in the soil since the 1980s.
I started nhydrop[onics and aeroponics in 2006.
I go by Jedi Creator, a hacker handle since the 1970s
My name is Jerry, for those who may care.
To give you an idea of who I am, or what I am:
I have a doctorial degree in Physic’s
A Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering
A Master’s of Science
and an MD in Medicine.
Yes, I liked school:)
I have been growing for years but was stuck in a US state that said it was illegal, until now:)(
It’s nice to be here. I got here by accident while looking for seeds.
Glad I made that decision.
ILGM, thank you for being here and hosting this forum.
Welcome
You will fit right in with a bunch of growers on this site.
Did you pick out some seeds?
Indoors or out?
Check out any topic by Hellraiser, Arrow, BobbyDigital, Nicky.
at this time I am only doing indoor.
Ebb system, with all the bells and whistles that we need.
Not overly technical, but I like to have a harvest.
I’m going from a 4X8 tent to a 4X4 tent.
I’m feeling claustrophobia.
Decided that only 2 plants should be run, but I’m very familiar with SCROG.
Welcome to the community. I believe that you will like the folks here. From what I read about your growing experience you will fit it quite well. All are just a hit away. happy growing
Sorry, I just noticed your question.
I got back in with Autoflowers.
Decided on Bruce Brenner, gorilla glue, and something else that I can’t remember right now. Hope you understand.
I found Bruce germinated beautifully, the rest seemed like too many chemicals.
The cool this, was I tried peroxide, and life wasn’t soo bad. I got at least 2 doubles and one triple and I found more plats than I bought.
Of course, they were not all beautiful, but life is not bad.
Thanks All for the welcome.
I see I’m in Safe company.
Sharing is a given, I just started my growth, but will present what I got from my ONE plant.
Bruce looks good, I have treated the topping very different and light control to create a bush from an 8 " height plat.
Looking at a 12 stem growth before the SCROG stretch.
I am proud of it after so many years without dirt, so I’ll put it up, but don’t expect much as I’m just coming back to growing.
Welcome here! It has been a crazy busy summer for us, with the cannabis plants, the garden, the mushroom experiment, and a vacay so I am behind on posts. Glad to have you aboard!
hello Jerry I too am a new grower 65 years old I waited 49 years to do this am I happy.! Living in Chronic pain since 96 and Arthritis in every joint, no the kind we smoke haha Can do 5 plants I started 5 plants inside under Burpee Starter Grow Lights system which has the correct Fluorescent blubs and after 3 days all popped up and I must say I planted them july 7th and I transplanted 3 into fabric 5 gallon pots with 2 inside under the lights enclosed with Foil and them at the temps of 74-78 and humidity about 43% %53% a fan I use when It gets to hot like 79-80 I believe all is going well all look good and the outside one are tripled in size and up to 6 inches. I fertilize them weekly
I only use the bottom tray and that way I can grow up to 3 feet or more. But I have ordered a grow tent and all needed to set up downstairs and grow year round … I also for downstairs have put down sheets of styrofoam and on top a pallet to keep it off the cool,cold floor… Good Idea or not
Sounds like a great idea. May want to upgrade lights to reputable led for flowering phase though. I find my sativas are happiest in the low 80s actually. Since that’s where I can easily hit my target vpd in flower. Even seedlings prefer upper 70s when the lights on. Hope this helps. Happy growing!
