I was thinking that you wanted something a little nicer than my children's microscope, but I thought I would mention it anyway since it does a great job for checking the plant and they are fairly common.

I just went and looked at mine... it's an Intel Play QX3 Microscope. Has 10x, 60x, and 200x magnification. Made for kids. A family member was throwing it out because her kids were too old to play with it any more, so I grabbed it. Works great, and it's actually very convenient if you can take a...

I'm growing two different bagseed strains right now, seven plants total in their fifth week of flower. I have three of one strain that all smell kind of like a forest(if that makes sense) until you get your nose right up close and take a big whiff... then they remind me of my cat's litter...

Put the sensor right beside one of the curled up leaves and see what it is at the canopy. Ambient temps can fool you. The plant is also seeing the radiant heat produced by the bulb.

The chances of that bagseed being a pure strain are extremely small. You should assume all bagseed is hybrid, with very mixed and unstable genetics. Chances are, if you had grown 10 of those seeds you would more than likely see some exhibit more sativa like characteristics while others are more...

Nah, I wouldn't cut them now, too far into flower. The plants were kind of neat looking before switching to flower. I had 16 of them in my 3x3 grow space so I had zip tied all of the side growth to train it straight up instead of letting them bush out. Now that I'm down to seven decent females I...

My original plan was to veg these plants for one week and then throw them into 12/12. I was going to trim the lower side growth and concentrate on growing a big single cola on each one. Well, my plans got sidetracked and they were vegged for an extra week. When I switched them to 12/12 I decided...

Shit happens. Dry and cure it properly. It should be fine.

Just stop. You ask a basic new grower question, then argue when you don't like the answer. You haven't even finished one crop, yet you claim to be so experienced... You were planning on vegging plants for 4 months under 150w of CFL lighting per plant, yet you claim to already know what you are...

Miracle Grow specifically for cannabis? I wonder what kind of super-duper imaginary new growing innovations the niche companies will have to invent in order to prop their sales back up...

:shock:..... :-|..... :cry:..... :spew:

I've never grown in anything but Miracle Grow, or at least had a large amount of MG in my mix. I'm not a very experienced grower though. I've seen a few harvests in the past, but this is my first grow in about 8 years. I went with MG this time because it's what I used back then. I don't really...

Cut it. Surely there is a local retailer nearby that sells some sort of weak seed starter type soil mix. Grab some of that to mix equal parts with the MG stuff, and then grab a bag perlite to mix in as well. My current mix is approximately 4 parts MG african violet mix, 4 parts Jiffy seed...

The plants will not start to flower until they are ready to flower, regardless of the light cycle. It's fine to continue with the 12/12 cycle at this point, you will just see slower growth... which is what you said you wanted. If it was me, since the plant is so young and it's only been in...

SOG and SCROG are two different ways of growing that are well suited for flouro lighting. SOG is Sea Of Green, and the point is to fill the grow area with an even canopy of smaller plants. The usual goal is to harvest one big fat main cola from each plant. This is how I grew years ago, using...

If you can get the HID lights like the other guys mentioned, then go ahead and get them. You will have better results, especially since you apparently like growing big plants. That said, you can grow nice weed all day long with flourescent lighting. You just need to grow plants that are well...

Your plants look a little like mine did. Mine suffered the most with the next set of leaves after the single set. If it's the same thing I was experiencing, then it's a combination of several factors. Your soil is too hot for seedlings. Your temps are getting too high at times. If you are...

I'm not sure. I can't remember ever seeing it revert like that, but then again I doubt I would have even noticed. Alternating nodes are just another indicator of plant maturity, so this reversion might be a common thing. I didn't even notice that the plants I am currently growing have...

Yes. I'm in a 3' x 7' closet in a back bedroom, and I just keep one of the closet doors about halfway open. I put the box fan right next to the plants, blowing out the open closet door. The little 150cfm fan is hanging on the end of my hood, and it just blows across the bulb. It's certainly not...

It's the evolution of the auto-flowering strains... auto-harvesting. :lol:
