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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey, All. My plants seem to be about 2-3 weeks away from harvest. I have just started my final flushing process, and my PH meter is saying that the soil is about 6.9-7.1 I understand that I am supposed to have the ph down around 6.5-6.9, but I do not want to add anything to reduce ph...

After careful deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that a 250 watt setup, over a 3x2' screen will be sufficient to give me a decent yiled. A 3'x2 ' scrog with a 250 watt hps will supply about 4500 lumens per sq ft (27000/6sqft). I know that 5000 lumens/sqft is optimal but I don't...

I was wondering which of these two light systems would work best? I have read that having the extra spectrum (5000 lumens of blue spectrum) would be good, but I also have read that mirror like aluminum surface reflector (1st system) is not as good as the reflector with the dimpled dimpled...

So, I have heard varying opinions on whether it is ok/good to trim the foliage on bushy plants. It is difficult to know what is sound advice due to this being my first grow. This is why I figured I would ask this question to people who may have had experience with both pruning and not doing...

I have a GDP and Bubbleberry flowering outdoors on the central coast of california. I just wanted to post some trich pics, even though I have been told that I still have about a month or so to go. I am not sure how to fully gauge when to start flushing/to harvest, so I was hoping I could...

My GDP is a really bushy plant, and some of the foliage is blocking the inner buds. I have trimmed a little bit, and tucked/tied a lot, but she is still as bushy as a 70's pornstar. Which makes me wonder if I should just trim a lot of the excess foliage off of her? Would this be ok to do...

Hey, Guys. So I have a question that needs a somewhat precise answer (or as specific to this situation as possible). I have two strains growing, a Grandaddy Purple@ 30" and a Bubble [email protected]' I was just wondering whether or not it is getting close to harvest. i live on the central coast...

I have have a couple plants that are flowering out in my garden, under a transparent grow tent (to keep elements out and let sunlight in). A GDP and Bubbleberry-(BlueberryxBubblegum). They seem to be healthy plants in most respects, however they are not as resinous as I would have figured...

There are two HPS systems I am looking at on ebay. I have read a lot on this forum about how ebay has only crap for sale. So, are these light systems crap? Would either of them be suitable (and worth their price) to grow a 4'x2' screen of green/sea of green? Could I use a 250w setup...

Hey All! I have been using fluoros, and have decided to make the switch to HPS for a primary lighting. I just received an offer from a guy to buy a couple HPS (so he says) lights for around 40 bucks. The only catch is that I will have to splice on some extra cord to plug the ballasts into...

Hey All! I was wondering if a mercury vapor light that says M59 and 4H33 on it is basically stating it is compatible with Metal Halide and HPS bulbs? This may be a rudimentary question, but I am just learning about lighting. I have been using fluoros, and have decided to make the switch...

Hey, Guys! I am looking to get an HPS lighting setup between the range of 250w-400w. These will go in a grow room that is 3.5'Lx2.5'Wx4.5'H, and possibly be over a scrog setup (or a SOG design). What size reflector would be best for a room of this size, to get maximum coverage and...

I was wondering if doing utilizing a SCROG method would allow me to use the 250 watt HPS lighting to flower more plants? Could I use 150w HPS and four 48" fluoro tubes? I already have the fluorescent lighting over 6 new transplants and some clones that are rooting, and was wondering if I...
