    What should I do?

    I've got a plant that's about 4 weeks into flower, and I slacked on changing my DWC bucket, which resulted in half of the plant's fan leaves turning yellow. Since then I have changed the bucket and in theory corrected the situation. Saying that I stay up-to-date on changing this bucket, is...

    When does flowering really start?

    I started counting once I see the pistils, however that's typically ~2 weeks into 12/12. Should I count the time from switch, or count once I start to see pistil and bud development? I'm creeping closer to the 7 weeks from pistils and 9 weeks from 12/12 and she's looking fantastic.

    What should I do?

    It's been 14 days since I've switched to 12/12 lighting. I've got a 4'x8' area to use for my flowering room, and within half of the area I have a 315w CMH and a 300w mars junk light (only half works correctly :lol:) for supplemental lighting, and the other 4'x4' contains a 400w HPS. I'm...

    Extension Cords

    I just moved some cords around last night for my flower room, and it got me wondering about how much wattage is too much to draw from a single extension cord. I have my 315w, 400w, and ~150-175w mars led panel all hooked up to a three way split onto the end of a single extension cord. Is that...

    Using Equipment From Dirty Growers

    Well, I had a friend donate some equipment to me like a couple of ballasts, bulbs, and air pumps. This said friend though gave up growing because he constantly got smacked with mites. Would there be any chance that this equipment still has mites or anything on it after a year of sitting in his...

    Seeds Have Cracked

    I have some rapid rooters and I was trying to figure out the best way to start these seeds. I've been told to throw them back in my old dwc styled cloner with tiny baskets, hydroton, and the rapid rooter with newly started seed. However, at the same time I've been told to simply grab a tray to...

    Burping...

    Is it really required if it's within 55-63% RH inside the jar?

    Is this a seed??

    I've only got a few small plants in flowering, and I haven't seen any nanners, which before posting this I checked again just to make sure and there is nothing that I see.

    5 Week 12/12 Update

    The tied down slut up top is Chem '91, which just started 12/12 three days ago. On the left, beside the air conditioner is Do-Si-Dos, and to the right of that there is Bubble Chem. In the second picture you can see that I tried using painters tape to block some of the air from smacking the Chem...

    What should I do?

    I purchased 3x clones and they all seem to be from good breeding, so I attempted to take clones using a cloning gel, and a bubble cloner with the discs/pucks/whatever-you-want-to-call-them so I didn't have to mess with hydroton or anything. Typically in the past I have used a bubble cloner with...

    Environmental Question

    I'm doing 55-65% RH and 78-81F during lights off.. are these numbers good enough to get me through my summer flowering? I'm not worried about during lights on, because my a/c unit will be running when the light is turned on.

    Temperature / Ventilation Question

    I have a poorly sealed 4x4x6 flowering area, which contains a sealed 315w fixture with it's own air ventilation system. I have a dual hosed portable air conditioner inside of the room that brings in air from my basement, cools down the flowering room, but spits out the hot exhaust directly...

    Question About Size

    I switched to 12/12 on May 9th, which today would mark the 9th day. I knew that I probably could have vegged these out longer, but I really wanted to get something into the flowering room and started as soon as possible. I'm sitting here looking at these two little ladies wondering how much...

    Tying Down For LST

    What's the best way to achieve this for those doing DWC with hydroton as their medium? I've tried taping the flex wire down to the top of my DWC lid, but the tape always gives away and my stems pop back up. Should I be tying branches back down to the main stalk? I just don't see how I could be...

    Vegetation Lights On Time

    How long are you leaving the lights on during vegetation 18/6, or 24/0? A month ago my timer broke in the vegetation room, and my flowering timer was in use so I just left my vegetation at 24 hours a day with a simple 2 bulb T5. I picked up a couple of clones, all of which are different, and 2/3...

    How important are genetics?

    I've always been able to grow nice looking weed.. always been a firm, dense, nice looking nug. I've never had good weed (bag seed), so even though it looks beautiful.. it never smoked right. Now that I purchased proven clones that people have grown 24%+ THC with.. does that mean I should expect...

    Clones -- What should I do?

    I just picked up three clones (Chemdog '91, Do-Si-Dos, Bubble Chem), and they are all in rapid rooters with the roots just breaking through the cube. I picked up a clone before and it was in a solo cup with lots of roots, and I was kind of expecting the same thing this time around.. guess not...

    Picking Up Some Clones -- Couple Of Questions

    I haven't had any ladies running for a week now, and I'll be picking up some quality clones this weekend. I was hoping to clean up the grow areas, and the surrounding areas for sanitation and pest purposes. I have been getting springtails and thrips periodically throughout the year, which I...

    Trim Question

    I do a two step trim process, first round I remove all material that isn't covered in trichomes. After I do that for the section I am working on, I clear off my table from the trimmings and then go back over trimming to shape and form my buds. However, this time around I save my trichome covered...

    Found A Few Seeds

    I was trimming last night and happened to find two seeds within some of the bud. The seeds look viable, brown with black specks, and a nice hard shell. Is there a drying process that has to happen, or are the seeds able to germinate right away? Edit: Since I found a few seed, does that mean...
