”This is not me…Dr. G is from RIU and members there were giving him shit for having a Phototron and no one was helping him so I told him to come over to Overgrow. Let’s welcome him to Overgrow folks.

Welcome @DrGonzo13 !
Unlike the dickbags at RIU, we don’t care what you’re growing in here at OG, we just wanna see pictures hahaha
But for sure looks great and would tell you to flip and continue. Phototrons are cool looking though lol

KNF methods and a bunch of other Soil Earth Web practices.
18/6 first 21 days from germ, 12/12 on 22 day regardless of auto or reg, node count or size, just 22 days. Now it gets weird, nodes, stretching, and all fast and miniature, flowers on autos, regs with no id yet, oh what fun, I actually never grew autos til this year, I Like em Alot! for SOG.

Also I have been using OG for just about 2 months and hands down it’s got the best people and information that I’ve ever had been involved with so thanks a bunch for your help and support instead of the awesomeness of the peeps on RIU and it’s nice to see that and feel like I’m a part of a community of people who actually want to see u succeed so THANK YOU OG!

Will do I thought I did but I must have forgotten to save it but once again I really appreciate the help and getting me to a place where I can get good advice n not read keyboard warrior stories and bickering on who’s the best grower. I am excited about this plant it’s way better looking and growing up in half the time of my first grow but I learned what worked best for my grow!

Hi DrGonzo13 nice to meet you. This is the place to be, I m gonna pull up a chair watch this. I have some in veg too, evidently I should be thinking about switching the light.

It does and it’s just noticeable when it is a good week into flowering and it’Genetics were altered to make it better for growing in altitude and y there based outta Denver but this is a seed from the first grow I left it in flowering to long and it had 2 branches beginning to turn hermaphrodite so it’s just a freebie in a way but I have two seeds left of the 6 I originally purchased from them and it’s a good heavy indica 90/10! Here’s my first grow with this strain20210713_163504|236x500

Looks great Dr. G. You did a great job on your 1st. grow in the Phototron…may I suggest that if you can, try and put a light on top inside of your P-tron, you’ll get great results…I don’t know if you have Menards in Colorado but they do sell bulbs for Phototrons and they’re not that expensive…

Thanks for the light link I have been trying to find a smaller light and I had one but it wasn’t remotely strong enough to make a difference but how much are they and outta curiosity can you run it on the plug on the phototron. Also how much difference does it make between the leds vs fluorescent tubes or is the an effect on the heat output inside of the tron. Sorry but so far you’re the only one other than my Dad who unfortunately has Alzheimer’s and he can’t remember much about them anymore who has one or probably knows more about using them in a few different ways and it’s pretty impressive mines the Phototron 3000sx and I am flipping to flower this weekend but am running outta grow space she’s way bigger and healthier than the first one and I am in start of week 7 for veg and I was in vegetative for almost 3½ months first go around as well. Here’s the current picture from today and I just got one question about the plant and it’s should I trim or do any pruning before switching to flower or wait until flowering for a week or so I trimmed about 35% of the tiny bit away from the bottom and mid level canopy at week 3 and it’s made a good difference and isn’t so leafy this time it was extremely leafy and I didn’t trim or use any nutrients or fertilizers the first time and this time but I have been debating on whether to introduce something to give the soil a boost during flower and it’s just a high quality miracle grow mix lol I know that it’s not ideal but it worked before but any recommendations for what kinda nutrient or fertilizer to assist in flower agian sorry for the short story but you’ve been a huge help

Wow, 7 wks. in veg. I could never do that…at most for me is 2.5 wks. and that’s if they’re in my big Phototrons.
My current SWC/TRON grow same size as yours but in hydro and I think it’s only been in veg mode for 2 wks. tops, I had a mishap…the lights on top is easy to set up and don’t worry about heat because the heat goes up throughout the top vents, I never worried about the heat. I use Technaflora BC nutrients been using it for inside or outside of my SWC/TRON grows…The top lights were cheap at Menards I think I got them on sale for under $20 and they are LED’s not much heat to them…Have a look at my thread on SWC/TRON grow…I’m not home right now, I will take more pix of my current grow tomorrow…
