    Seed Mystery

    Thanks for all the ideas of what P.A.C. might be. "P.A.C." might actually be "P.A.L." so pineapple might be what it is, though I still have my doubts. There are actually six freebies and the handwriting for the others is a bit better. "WWxWW" seems to be white widow crossed with white widow...

    Seed Mystery

    Bought some seeds from SoS and need to identify one of the freebies they sent with the order. It was marked as P.A.C. What might this seed be?

    Single Tree CFL Grow Cabinet

    I grow one plant at a time and am planning to run grows sort of continuously. There may be a few weeks between grows, or possibly a month, but I will be always growing something. The above is a picture of the perimeter of the cabinet. It is clad in pine beadboard with the front being a door...

    what is the most cfl's you have ever had running?

    I use eight CFLs above the one tree that I grow at a time, and four CFLs stationed around the tree. Still using a few older 42w bulbs but am upgrading to 55w and 65w bulbs for future grows. Presently, I am in the flowering stage and, of the eight bulbs above the tree, five are 42w bulbs one of...

    1St Time cabinet Grow CFL Lighting HELP!!

    I agree with perspextoe, the more light the better. I have a cab about the same size as yours. The inside walls, ceiling and floor are painted white for reflectance. The lighting I use varies a bit, but once the tree has moved beyond hatchling, I use eight 40w to as much as 55w bulbs above the...

    Can Topping = Stess = Males?

    Are you trying to make a point? Or, is that suppose to be funny?

    Can Topping = Stess = Males?

    So, it would seem that lighting issues are the primary reason a female plant might go hermie. And there is no way that a female can completely turn male. That makes sense. Topping a plant, watering issues and nutrient issues, or anything else, are probably not causal in such a transformation...

    Can Topping = Stess = Males?

    Good article. However, Ed R. listed the stresses that can cause hermaphroditism as follows: "...can include lighting regimen irregularities, low light conditions or response to hormones." There is no mention of topping, or even watering issues, or nutrient issues. It would seem that the...

    Can Topping = Stess = Males?

    No one has an opinion, or some research that might shed some light on this subject?

    water?

    Watering should only be done when the plant needs water. Heft the container when it is pretty dry to get a feel for what it would weigh when your baby is in need of watering. My plant is in a 2.5 gallon container and she needs water about every 3 days. Today is the third day, but the container...

    Can Topping = Stess = Males?

    I have read some comments where the commenter has claimed that topping an mj plant can cause stress and thus might cause the plant to turn male? I have no information to dispute this claim, but it does seem unlikely to me. Reason: If a marijuana plant were growing in nature, let's say in a...

    First time grow with pics

    You could start anytime, but do start understrength on the nutes. During the vegetation stage your nutes will most likely be a little high on nitrogen. This being the case, watch your plant for shades of green. Darker means the plant has plenty of nitrogen, pale means the plant is needing a fix.

    water?

    Fox Farm Grow Big is a good fertilizer to use during the vegetation cycle. Fox Farm Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom are good fertilizers to use during the flowering cycle. Sugar water is not a good H2O supplement anytime.

    clone tops?

    Yes, airing them out would be a good idea. Too much time with too much humidity will promote mold.

    clone tops?

    You can improve your chances of success when cloning if you keep the clone in a humid environment for a week or two. This is simple enough--just plant the clone in a party cup, water it, and then cut the top of a 1 liter pepsi bottle and put it over the plant. This will keep the moisture in...

    topping the plant

    I am on my first grow and I topped my plant after the sixth node and she is now nearly ready for harvest. I have about six large colas, and bunches of smaller colas, and tons of popcorn bud sites. What I intend to do is chop the large colas when she is ready and allow the smaller colas to mature...

    First time grow with pics

    Nice start. You might want to invest in a circulating fan. A little wind in your grow area will help strengthen the stem. Also, get some good grow nutrients and some flowering nutes. Fox Farm Grow Big (veg stage nutes), Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom (flowering stage nutes) are good.

    red hairs how much longer +pics

    I agree, your girls look good, but do need quite a bit more time. What nutrients are you using and how much and how often? This information would be good to know.
