    Ready fo the jar yet? (pics)

    I just took my first sample from what I have had drying for about 4 days in about 60 degree temps. Just a small pinch of a popcorn bud, enough for one good bong rip and WOW! It hit me right away, and then keppt getting more and more intense. I harvested at the PERFECT time! Mostly head high...

    All cloudy trichomes for indica?

    So I've been reading up, and Subcool suggested that for indica heavy hybrids, and most hybrids grown today that harvesting when the trichs are mostly cloudy and even a few CLEAR ones left is ideal, to avoid the couchlock effect. That Sativas are typically where the 50% cloudy 50% amber rule is...

    Spotted my first AMBER trichome!

    Found it at the bottom of the main cola. These little LR2/BC Mango crosses are cool. The main cola's are a little longer than my hand, the bigger one is as big around as banana, and they stay so compact! I was getting worried that I might not nkow how to recognize when the trich's start to go...

    I need advice, I'm leaving so close to harvest!

    I have a plant that will be done very soon. Mostly cloudy trich's now, could be a week. the only problem is I leave in two weeks and I'll be gone 5 days. If I harvest before then but too close to when I'll be gone, I wont be here for 5 days while the bud either sits in curing jars or hangs to...

    Two Days in the Dark?

    I have read that some folks, after flushing and before harvesting, put the plant into complete darkness for two days. This is supposed to increase THC and resin production. Who has experience with this and does it work? Also, my trichs are almost all cloudy, but no amber yet. If I did this...

    Calyx's starting to swell, how much longer?

    I'll see if I can get a pic up, but I'm about 5 weeks flowering a lowryder #2/b.c. mango cross under 150w HPS. One plant is looking extra good, and I've noticed the calyx's (where the hairs/stamens grow out of) have started to get a little bigger. Is this the buds "filling out"? Hairs are...

    How to hang dry? Here's what I have-

    I know there's a lot of debate over quick drying or hang drying slowy, and I imagine that the results of each method would be fantastic or folks would'nt be so passionate about their own method. I am not in a HURRY to dry my harvest when i chop in the next week, but I don't want to hang them...

    Bud dryer: Cardboard box or plastic?

    I'm about to harvest one of my two plants, it's ready ahead of the other. Should I hang it in a cardboard box, or a rubbermaid? Should I hook up a pc fan to keep airflow? Better to hang or put on mesh sheets or a rack of some kind? I've been reading all kinds of posts about drying and...

    Brown hairs, how close to harvest?

    One of my plants has about 30% brown hairs, is it almost time to harvest? I have a scope to check trich's, but just for general idea, will the buds fatten up and fill ou more as the hairs turn brown and even after? Thanks

Funny thing is, the one that gat stunted is looking VERY frosty, with lots of trich's on all the new small leaves growing out of the...

    Better to have more HPS watts or add CFL?

    My current grow I am using 150w HPS. I know my second grow I will use at least 250 if not 400. My cab is only three feet high, two feet long 1.5 feet wide, and I will attempt a SOG with WW clones. With a 250 or 400 the cooltube can be at the very top of the cab and plenty of bright light will...

    Mogul base interchangable?

    I just set up a cooltube for my 150. I used the huge ceramic mogul socket that came with my kit. If I was to purchase a 250 or 400 watt HPS ballast replacement, could I use my current Mogul base? It's the 5k pulse kind from HTG, so I was thinking that would be good all the way up to 1000w...
