This week I harvested the last of four plants, and thought it might be useful to myself (for the future) and hopefully to others who bother to read it, to post a reflection on how it went, the lessons I learned, and to tip my hat to those who have helped me considerably through this intensive...

My super lemon haze which has for the most part has been a wonderful grow, at 11 weeks from 12/12, is still finishing and seems to be having a last ditch attempt at growth, but in a really weird, spindly manner. The calyxes are fat, but then just a few on each bud are growing further than the...

So close to the finish line with my 1x blueberry and 1x super lemon haze. They are both "overdue", the blueberry by 1-2 weeks (it is 10 weeks today), the super lemon haze, by the calendar, should have finished around this weekend. The super lemon haze has a lot of *lower* buds that are very...

Just wondering, if I shade an area of my grow tent and hang buds to dry there (there is another plant finishing in there), will that be ok, or does it have to be *totally* dark? I'm thinking a cardboard box with a couple of holes in the sides for airflow.

I have a Super Lemon Haze at 8 and a half weeks into flowering. Last week, due to unexpected visitors, I was unable to water it for three days in the middle of a heatwave. This caused her to wilt and several leaves turned yellow and died. I have resumed normal watering and feeding, and she is...

I have a couple of autos that I really need out of the way. My tent is too full, and I want to make room for the two photos I have so they don't end up developing bud rot simply because they didn't have enough space. However, neither is quite ready. One of them has all brown / orange pistils...

I had some chile plants in a different room from my tent and they have just been found to have an aphid infestation. So far so good in the tent but I am conscious that once aphids take hold in an environment they tend to spread like wildfire, so want to prepare myself in case they do get into...

I have two autos and two photos, and the auto which is closest to being done just doesn't seem to be drinking, and has been that way for the last couple of weeks. She is being stubborn and slow to finish, I wonder whether this is in part down to whatever is causing her not to drink. By "not...

I will be harvesting my grown in stages, owing to different flowering times. My initial plan was to install a cardboard box right outside my tent so it's sitting on the intake, drawing air through the box and into the tent. Few questions about this: 1) Is this likely to cause humidity...

I bought one today and opened it up, straight into the block, no plastic seal. I cannot remember if my last one had a seal, but I seem to remember it did. This new one is nowhere near as effective. I want to know if the shop have conned me and sold me the one they had open for sampling.

The neighbour said something today that terrified me at first, saying there was a strange smell in their attic that she couldn't seem to get rid of. Their house has been recently renovated (six months ago) and I suspect it is new carpets or something like that. She can't identify it, just says...

I currently have 5 inch ducting and fans, the only bit that is different is the carbon filter which has a step-down ring from 6" to 5". I am looking to upgrade my exhaust fan, and one of the best options I've seen is a wooden acoustic box fan. Trouble is, these start at 8". What, if any, are...

Hi folks, Has anyone got experience of using dehumidifier gel / crystals such as these http://www.drizair.com/products.html in their grow? Humidity is sky high at the moment and I am battling to keep it under 70% even using a big, noisy, expensive-to-run dehumidifier right next to my air...

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a quieter circulation fan for inside my tent. Are tower fans quieter than standard desk fans? I have read that this is so, but looking for someone with real world experience. I guess a tower fan is also better in terms of it having greater vertical reach...

Hi there! So, I am asking mostly with reference to my two autoflowers. Having past the breeder's stated harvest day (not that I was expecting it to be done by then), and the buds only just now starting to pack on some weight (they are, unfortunately, under 12/12 because I don't have a separate...

I was performing some maintenance to my exhaust ducting, and when I pulled the duct out of the chimney I was hit in the face by a pungent whiff of ganja :( My carbon filter was an el-cheapo option that came with a fan kit. I wish I had spent the extra cash cause my fan is noisy and weak too...

So folks, those of you that have seen my recent thread will be familiar with my setup, but for ease of reference....: Medium: Canna Coco, 15 litre pots Nutes: Canna coco a&b, Buddhas Tree bloom additives Light: 600W HPS (dimmed to 400W on hot days!) Plants: 1x Auto La Diva 1x Auto Flash Babylon...

So far, I have been watering my plants every other day until I see runoff. I have just switched to 12/12 and of course will be checking the pots to see if they need watering more frequently, but I wonder, in general, if a watering every other day will be sufficient? Setup: 600W HPS *dimmed to...

Planning ahead for hopefully some heavy buds. I have read that one of my strains tends to have large buds on small side branches and this can be problematic. I have heard of people "stringing up" their buds to stop stems snapping etc. How do you do this exactly? What do you tie them *to*? I...

Hi all Having problems with heat in my tent since switching to 12/12 and moving up to a 600W sodium bulb. Temperatures are running at 87-90 F (31-33 C) at the hottest time. I would like to have them on from 9pm but due to kids being around I have to do the watering and pumping out at 5pm...
