i have just put a thread asking when to start flushing them what do you think userfriendly as your advice has been great up to yet

also i have noticed the the 2 plants on the right which are under the mh light have more trics as you said they would ( i nearly changed the mh to hps as you were the only person that said it would make for a more potent smoke) look like you were right
thanks again for you input and support

have you tried hempy buckets?
hail the might USERFRIENDLY

They can fatten up a lot more before you need to flush. I'd say wait two more weeks, then evaluate. The pictures are a litle dark; maybe you can use the flash next time you take pics? or put a light bulb down low?

ok thanks is there any way of telling when to start flushing for optimum potency (so i don't get annoying asking "is this ready to flush")
do you think that rust on the leaves is from my ph cock up?

i will try to post some better pics tomorrow some time with the flash

I guess NL typically flowers for 8 or 9 weeks; the last 2 - 3 weeks would be water only. I know you've had a few setbacks, so wait until you see a few swollen calyxes before you start.

ok its now 5am here so later today (after 2.5 hours sleep my kids get up about 7.30) i will look up calyx and find out what they are.

i feel so thick when it comes to growing but i think i will look at this grow as my test run and a good learning tool

good morning and good night
and thanks again for your time

A calyx is the teardrop-shaped seed pod that the hairs grow out of.

kulan hunter · #17 05-21-2008, 08:39 AM

they get bigger even if they have not been pollinated and remain dormant
if pollinated then this is where the seed will be produced
does that sound right to you

i just want to make sure my understanding of the calyx is right

i could not get to the hydro shop to buy a hand held microscope and no were in my town has any thing better than a 20x magnifing glass
so that will have to wait till friday

i am charging my batterys for my cam at the moment but i should have some pics by 8pm G.M.T

i was ment to post these last night but my wife was on the computer till late
and i fell asleep.

so here are some pics taken last night (with flash on)

the last 3 are of the problem i am having i think it is ph damage from the other week

It looks like a phosphorous deficiency cause by low ph. A few of those lower calyxes are looking fat. What week of flowering are they on as of now?

kulan hunter · #20 05-22-2008, 06:40 AM

48 days or 1 day off 7 weeks
