I tried to search for spider mite posts (in the search bar) and i got an error message, so I figured that i would just post this. I have spider mites 2 weeks from harvest. Can anyone tell me what the best approach would be to getting these bugs off of my crop? Is there any home made teas I...

That is another weird thing. I have been using some serious nutes on them, and the Bubba Kush (whole plant pictured) and the Green Crack (branch pictured) act like I never feed em; especially that Platinum bubba. My other plants are pretty green, but that one, and the Green Crack, just do not...

i was hoping that would be the case. I just have never dealt with early flowering like this before. Thanks for the response

So, I am on the central coast of California and my outdoor (greenhouse) ladies seem to be flowering very early. The Blue Dream and Jilly Bean are just now showing preflower, but the Bubba Kush and Green Crack look like they are in the 5th week of flowering. I am wondering if the colder summer...

Thanks for all the info, Guys. I am hoping that the good flush will help a lot. And, yes, the soil I started these in was kinda crappy. Last grow I used some premium soil that I amended with some perlite and vermiculite and that worked awesome. I am about to transplant these little ladies...

I actually flushed the soil, and sprayed them down with some fresh water, yesterday (4/14/11)

What is your experience level? novice-experienced Your Equipment: .1) Type and wattage of lights. fluorescents (around 300w t12 and t8; 4 2bulb fixtures 48") 2) Distance from tops? around 1.5"-5" depending on size of plant .3) Reflector type? 48" 2 bulb-white . 4) Is there a...

I have a scrog grow going and the plants are at about 7 weeks. I know they are not done yet but the trichs are looking about 5-10% amber on some of my GDP and Blue Dream flowers. i was wondering if I were to clip off some of these early buds will the smaller ones still grow to take their place...

Yeah. I was just being paranoid. The grassy smell is wearing off and the delicious bud smell is becoming more prominent. I am a newbie so I jumped the gun a bit. However, they smoke amazingly, leaving nice white ash and numb my brain/body very nicely. By far some of the best/smoothest stuff...

Well, crap! I wish you would have written that about 5 days ago. I read SO many articles and blog posts about this process looking for the exact information you posted (about whether to wait for the stem to bend or snap), and most articles said to wait until stems snapped before jarring...

maybe add a leaf from one of my plants to bring a bit of moisture back? I only took the mature bud soff my flowering ladies, so I have about 1/4-1/3 of each plant left. Can I maybe put a leaf or two in each jar for a couple of hours to bring a bit of moisture back?

I just finished my first crop. Directly after harvest I cut all the fan and sugar leaves off, leaving groomed buds. I cut into individual branches and hung these for five days, until the branches broke/snapped when I bent them. I then put them into mason jars and have been curing as I have...

So are you saying I should put them into paper bags right now (day 4 of drying) and dry them that way til they are crisp, before putting them into jars (after a few more days)?

Yes, they are dry to the touch, but if I squeeze slightly I can feel that there is moisture inside. I will just leave them for a few more days. I may just be getting overzealous. However, there are smaller buds that may take longer than the thicker/denser ones. Should I take these down and...

As the title states my GDP buds are relatively dry on the outside, but I can tell that the insides are still moist as they feel so and the stems bend like a straw. It has been 4 days since hanging and them and the temp has been around 63-70 drgrees with around 55-65% humidity in a medium sized...
