I think most of us would consider it "nonsense" to intentionally end up with a less potent, premature bud. SO, I suppose the debate is about one's definition of "nonsense," rather than a debate about what happens if you don't properly observe trichomes.

Thought of you when I read this article: http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/1651.html Have you seen it?

I can't see where any tips were snipped. I also don't see anything that I would call "stumpy". Can you post a pic of the whole plant? How many nodes are there? I'm asking because I'm wondering if you ACTUALLY trimmed "late". I'm betting that you didn't. The new growth looks perfectly fine...

The hairs don't actually sink into the buds; the buds swell up around the hairs -- but, either way, it is only an indicator that it MIGHT be time to harvest. The only way to know if it's actually time to harvest is to look closely at the color of the trichomes. Most of them should be milky /...

Going with more than one strain for a first grow is totally up to you. Even when you are doing a grow with just one strain, every plant is different and requires close attention to its needs. In other words, you'll have to watch each plant ANYWAY, so why not watch several strains? On the...

If you trim the two larger leaves, you'll help boost the root growth before transplanting. You just snip off about 1/4 of each leaf, from the tip. It may look funny to you and feel strange doing it, but it will work wonders. You may be transplanting a bit early, imo. I personally like to...

You absolutely cannot cure with vacuum storage. You'll ruin the weed. You can use glass or plastic storage containers, so long as they are clean and have a tight-fitting lid. Some people don't like using plastic because they think it gives the weed a funny smell / taste, but I like using it...

You're in the right place for being new to growing. The more you read and learn, the better your grow will be. I like Nebula Haze's stuff for learning, and I like this site for its forums and topic-specific chats. I think most of us old timers grow organically and don't advocate the use of...

Good idea. Use the 4" and switch it around. Sounds perfect for your situation!

I gotta jump in here ... It's about lumens, not watts. Yield per plant has so many variables, I wouldn't dare give an estimate with what little info has been provided here. As a rule, the more lumens you have, the better your crop will be. But, you can have too much light which can damage...

I think I understand. A pic would help. But, assuming I understand your set-up, I recommend that you turn that little fan around and blow air IN rather than pull air out. You call it a "6" blower," but do you mean a small fan? You don't want TOO MUCH air blowing in -- just enough to allow for...

A "well known member" (or better) here is someone who has had a ton of posts. It doesn't indicate, necessarily, his or her growing experience. And it certainly doesn't indicate a person's knowledge. I've been on this site for many years, but more importantly, I've been growing for decades...

No break needed. I actually enjoy it when I am wrong or when I overlook something or when I learn something new. LOL It keeps me from getting bored. Btw, you DID correct your moment of dyslexia, didn't you -- or did you leave the poor guy hangin with bottle of pH UP in hand? (jk. I'm sure you...

Ahh! Of course! I feel like an idiot for not thinking of that. LOL That's exactly what it is. I remove nearly all the leaves when I hang my plants because I dry the trim separately for oil, so I don't get that grassy hay smell. And, yes, a circulating fan will help him out but he needs to...

is this your first grow? Whether it is your first or our 50th, a grow journal is a great way to show off your work and share the joy with like-minded people who enjoy following the progress. You'll want to post a lot of pictures as you go. Start the journal with a description of your set up...

Oh, goodness ... You've asked some loaded questions. LOL First, when we suggest trimming, we mean your bigger plants, not the small ones in your pics. (Your clones will be ready for training when they have at least 5 nodes.) Main-lining, manifolding, scrogging -- these are all different terms...

Apparently it isn't, if you're trying to reduce your humidity level. But I agree with Vostok. In fact, I've used the slow method for at least a decade now, where I hang the whole plant without doing any cutting. It's much easier and produces a better tasting bud. I've found, though, that...

Sounds like you need more water, then. You want it to run out the bottom of the container, both during the "dissolve" step and the "flush" step.

Think about it: Flushing is done to remove salts and nutrients. Why would you add them back in DURING a flush? It's not logical. Besides, because of the volume of water you'll be using to do a legitimate flush, most of the nutrients you add to your water will just run right out the bottom of...
