:hump: Hello everyone, out of all the forum websites I've read and researched.. Roll it up is my favorite. I'm going to post some pictures and any suggestions comments are greatly appreciated. I have a question and will post more pictures when I have time of my grow-venture. Wish I got into this years ago. Thank you to everyone who have posted and helped out all fellow growers.

WHEN DO YOU THINK It's TIME TO HARVEST?? I took these pictures a few minutes ago. Like all Newbs you learn as you go and I didn't really keep track of time like I should have. I'm pretty sure I started the 12/12 light change first week of November. I've read about checking trichomes and the white hairs receding. Any Help would be awesome as I want to make this first small grow as perfect as possible and ofcourse don't want to jump the gun and cut it to early. Thank you in Advance

Oh my... Thank you. I did not know that. I've only been misting them in the mornings to keep the humidity up since the heater is drying out the air.

My advice first off would be to get those lights about 2inches from the plant if you want any real amount of bud with cfls

You want the humidity low ,under 50 , 40 is better
That is one of my issues.... I'm running about 20% even with a humidifier and cups/bowls of water sitting in the tent. I'm switching out the humidifier with a cool mist one tomorrow. I just used the one I had laying around. I'll run both of them if need be. Thank you!!

Quick question to anyone that can help... my buds haven't grown or done anything noticeable in almost 2 weeks... the only thing that I did different is switched in some warm 2700k cfl's because I'm a noob and didn't do it at the start of 12/12 cycle. Any ideas? Should I switch back to the daylight type CFL's ??

Np just wait for amber trichs or hairs all turn orange whichever happens first...be sure to cure it good for like 2 weeks keep in a glass jar or brown paper bag, happy smoking

Wow, the hardest part I've gone through with this 1st grow is this last bit of waiting... I keep checking it like the darn fridge every five minutes as if something is going to appear...:wall: I'm so wanting to get to harvesting, excited!!! I've been reading and reading up about trimming, drying, and curing that I just need to experience it NOW :lol:

One thing I've read over and over is about Mold. Kinda worries me. Have any of you had any real problem with mold during this last process? I will be so bummed out if this were to happen.. I think I'm just a day or 2 away from harvesting after examining trichs and just want to be prepared for anything. I flushed with tap water which I had let sit for 24hr prior about 8 days ago.

I haven't checked PH levels at all this grow or added much of nutes other than this fish fertalizer shit a couple of times that I bought at the local hardware store when leaves were turning yellow... I read it could be a cause of a nitrogen deficiency or root bound, either way it perked back up after 3 to 4 days.


I'm going to monitor PH and use Nutes on my next grow. I've read about all kinds of PH tester kits and such and not sure which way to go on this. Any suggestions on type or where to get something reliable? Thank you for stopping by and checking out my thread.. HaPpY hApPy iNhAlInG
