    36 hr dark to spark flower stage

    ya, which does make sense for sure. and now that I think of it can potentially just give your buds that much more time to develop...[am contemplating doing it for our next few plants to go in just to see what happens in yield] Learn somethin new everyday man try it out!

    Watering times

    agreed with jonda... I normally try and water at least an hour before to an hour after my light turns on (1000w HPS) so that the humidity isn't an issue. BUT always check [if using soil] by hand scraping the top layer to see if they even need it... My babes are in 4ish galloners so they water...

    A Question for soil growers

    Guys... First, Soil based growing (unless you get soil w/o ANY additives) doesn't generally need nutes for at least 6 weeks... With that being said I generally re-use my old soil (foxfarm oceanforest) from the pots that I harvest and mix it in with the coming plants so I can be sure they don't...

    36 hr dark to spark flower stage

    blue dream at 4 weeks flower.

    Original cure in the dark bro... Always the best way to go... But blue dream as said before is most definately a wonderful plant to watch grow... Ours is in week 10 right now, which BD by itself is generally 65 days. Get yourself a jewelers loop or a 40X microscope is always the best way to tell...

    Setting up new grow... your thoughts and advice.

    More is better bro... First of all, nothing can really compare to outdoors growth as nothing can mimic the intensity of our sun. BUT there are a lot of factors that go into that kind of thing. Second, .5/Watt? wtf are you smoking? lol cuz i want that shit... So what you're saying is i should...

    12/12 from seed?

    agreed with resinous. The marijuana plant if running under 12/12 will go into flower as soon as it can which could potentially just be about 4 weeks, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter depending on strain. This would be ok if you're just trying to pump plants out as fast as you can but IMO if...

    seedlings look bad

    if i'm not mistaken 5.5 is too low for most plants after they've popped... You have ANY nutrient with castings or guano? You can take your tap water and add the appropriate amount of nut to help even out it's ph, should be around 6-6.5 I believe... If all else fails stick to what you know right...

    Leaves Curling Up! What is this Mg Def?

    Well, from my knowledge and after referring to my "Bible" this generally means TOO MUCH nutrient. Or too much of one thing in your nutrients. As your plants obviously can't talk to you i'd suggest doing what KoKomama had stated and do a flush for about a week and you should see drastic...

    quick question . should be easy answered

    you should be getting somewhat larger "broad" leaves just under the buds... these are needed and provide energy mostly for the buds themselves... there is generally a broad leaf for each meristem, "node", bud, whatever your fancy of vocabulary ::edit:: but if you're seeing a sticklike...

    1000W--5'X9' Flowering Room--220W CFL--8'X2' Veg Room

    ya man, with the first few plants we didn't see a SHITLOAD of yield but the potency of the buds (which i was happy to even have something worth smoking) was pretty astonishing... Thanks tho for sure man, hope to have updates as soon as I get home friday

    1000W--5'X9' Flowering Room--220W CFL--8'X2' Veg Room

    Wanted to start my thread so that I may keep track of our upcoming/most serious grow. This will technically be our 4th grow, however we have had them pretty much on a perfect cycle so far with completely different plants to see what type is best. We are Prop. 215 patients in Cali (4 of us) and...
