just got some clones from the dispensary and put them in my ebb and flow table. i was planning on doing a modified SoG grow and start to flower them immediately. they are already rooted in rockwool. should i start out with the 12 hours of light for flowering, or go with 18 hours of light for...

Also, do I need to take the buds out of the jars at any time? They are all stuck in one big lump right now when I shake the jar. Should I take them out and let em breathe then stick them back in the jars?

Awesome. So I just need to keep opening my jars at least once everyday and the grassy smell will start to go away? Will the buds get more compact as well?

It's my first harvest and everything was going good until it came to drying the buds. I hung them upsidedown with a fan circulating air past them until they were dry to the touch. I put them into sealed jars and checked them the next day to make sure they weren't 'sweating' and the jar was dry...

so it would make the smoke more harsh and taste bad to harvest before 10 days of plain water? would curing it make it smoother and taste better?

I'm checking out my trichomes and they are pretty much all amber right now, but I've only been running plain water for about 4 days now instead of the recommended 7 days. I'm just wondering if it would be better to wait the whole week before harvest or harvest now before the trichomes start to...

oh nevermind, i just read SpruceZeus's article!

oh ok. i'll get a magnifying glass to check out the trichs. i wait till the trichs are %70 red before harvest?

It looks like some of my buds are starting to get red hairs on them! I've read that I should harvest the buds when about %70 of the hairs on it are red, and that you should use plain water in your reservoir 1 week before you harvest. My question is how do I know when it's 1 week until harvest...

Thanks for the info Stumps! I'll give the 50/50 mix a shot too just in case the bomb doesn't do it's job.

Oh yeah! My lights shut off at 5AM and that's when I was going to bomb, so it wouldn't be too hot. I could totally leave it off for 30 minutes or even an hour and then turn it back on.

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, I was thinking I should bomb with the lights off, but it still gets damn hot in the room. I guess I could set the bomb off and then look outside to see if the A/C is spitting out all the bug killin' poison... I've got a remote for my A/C so I wouldn't have to go...

I've got a Spider Mite problem that I've been attacking for a couple weeks now. I got a couple pyrethrum bombs from the hydro shop and the dude told me to be sure that all of my fans are off in my room. My question is, shouldn't I leave my A/C unit turned on? It was 107 degrees outside today...

I'm almost in my 7th week of my first grow. I'm using a 2X2 ebb and flow table with rockwool cubes in hydroton pebbles inside a 272 cubic foot room. I'm using a 600W HPS that gets cooled by an 8" inline fan pulling air through the reflector and the temp stays around 70-80F with 50% or so...

oh man I bet that's what happened with the clones i got from some dude. they are bushier than 70's porn! i kept wondering why they didn't look like the pics of other plants on this site...
