Tomatoes 7 days from seed.

Not a growing question, but a question nonetheless. I dropped my old grinder on the floor, dented, and it no longer works. I need a new one. Any new in hand grinders I should be looking at?

Talking to an old time grower the other day. This guy was sort of my mentor. He insists curing does little to improve potency. Potency is a byproduct of good genetics, mature trichomes and proper drying. He says curing only improves taste and smokeability. Thoughts?

I learned this after I bought a bunch of real Grove bags. But Grove bags are nothing more than generic mylar bags. Available all over the Internet, in a variety of sizes. Resealable and oxygen free just like Groves. They're sold as mylar odor free bags. The Grove folks simply had they name...

My weed's all dried. Bagged it up in my new Grove bags. Added a hydrometer, sealed, and off to cure. Large bag is 1oz, glass less is 1/2oz, and the small is 1/8.

...one of the best things I did. Bought an entry level student AmScope, 20x-40x. Amazing, it takes all the guesswork out of trichomes. On 20x the trichomes on your piece of bud fill up your view. Clear, white and amber are easily read. On 40x you can actually look inside the individual...

Never had this happen before. Beautiful auto Blue Dream, covered in buds and loaded with trichromes. We chopped her today, and while trimming we saw pods. I placed the fresh buds under the microscope and they were covered in sticky trichomes, both milky and turning amber. Ran her through the...

I may have gone two days too long on drying. Is there anyway possible to get some moisture back in these beautiful buds?

Gorilla Cookie auto, snipped a sample last night and looked at it under the scope. Looks like it may be time.;)

A friend told me that if you have stubborn autos that are taking forever to ripen, try changing their light cycle He said switching from the 20/4 cycle to an 18/6 cycle will often jump start the trichomes and force them into ripening. But only for the last couple weeks. Anyone?

I've received good advice here in the past, so here goes. Showed a friend these photos, he's says they're cloudy and ready. I'm seeing...not so fast. I'm not so sure, they look kinda clear? Auto Blue Dream, day 43 flower, day 77 from seed. Appreciate some thoughts.;)

I'm still playing and learning my new handheld usb digital microscope, so please bear with me. Day 42 flower, auto Blue Dream. Cloudy or clear. I see mostly clear, a few cloudy.

Im growing 4 autos, One of which is a Fastbuds Wedding Cheesecake. Billed as seed to harvest in 63 days. IMO a bit ambitious, but that's marketing. Ok, I'm in day 77. Beautiful frosty plant, but the only place I see amber trichomes is on the sugar leaves, and very little on the buds. I've...

Auto Wedding Cheesecake week 5 A look at the trichomes. Still look clear to my eye.

I'm presently growing 4 autos, Blue Dream, Wedding Cheesecake and Gorilla Cookie. The buds are as big, or bigger than any weed I've ever grown. All are tight and firm, but the Blue Dream are rock hard. Intense nose. But what concerns me is the leaves. They're all turning yellow? I've posted...

420 Fastbuds Wedding Cheesecake, day 40 flower. 1000w HPS

Just got it, and tested it out. Trimmed a couple sugar leaf tips. I'm concerned about the photo, not so much the trichromes. Can I do better with this unit, or as this as far as it'll go? BTW the plant is an auto Gorilla Cookies.

She's skunky as all hell. My wife got loopy just handling it. My gut says another week. But she's not sticky? That concerns me. Thoughts

When I first began growing I did all my shopping at my local hydroponics store. Always felt I was paying through the nose, but I enjoyed going there. Plus, they could give advice. But as you gain experience, the advice becomes less important and it's more about price, variety and savings $$$...

Day 63 Gorilla Cookies. Began adding Beastie Bloomz about 10 days ago and the growth was noticable. I figure I'm looking at 2 more weeks. Thoughts?
