Could it be heat stress?

Thanks for the info. I think I will leave the hash. I have 7 plants and there will not be enough leaves to make it worth while. BTW : Drying upside down in a basement room with de-humidifyer. approx 28c temp and 50-60 humidity. Fan blowing but can't get the temp down because it is 40c+ here at...

I am harvesting my crop. I want to know if people bother with the bigger leaves and stem or just the buds. I have been cutting off the leaves because I think these will slow down the drying by not allowing airflow and may help prevent bud rot. (I have hung the whole plant upside down) The...

Looking good and healthy. I did think I saw some light green spots appearing, maybe keep an eye on that.

Thanks. I take it I am looking for 50/50 cloudy and amber. Out of interest, do many people do sampling (cutting, quick drying and smoking) to determine when to harvest?

I purchased a 60x-100x microscope and set about trying to see the trichomes. The problem is (and no one has explained this fully) what part do you pick to view them. If you take a small leaf from the bud and view that, will that give the same picture as the rest of the bud? It's hard to look at...

Hi, I'm no expert (first grow, few days to harvest) but I was limited on where I could go for ferts. I picked one which was a general fertilizer with equal ratio of NPK (for veg). By the time I got to flowering I found some cannabis fertilizer for flowering. The general fertilizer done a good...

Unfortunately I'm in Spain and we don't have Radio Shack and I haven't found anywhere which sells them so I have ordered from ebay. Is it just the potency which changes or the high? The stamens are turning brown and have been for a week or so. Are you saying you wouldn't harvest any bud which...

I changed the lights on my 7 girls to 12/12 on April 19th. It's now 8 weeks since the lights changed. I don't know what type they are and the microscope I ordered to check when to harvest hasn't arrived :( Am I 8 weeks into flowering or only 7 (since they showed sex)? Am I ok to harvest?

Mr Cadbury and Miss Rowntree met on a Double Decker, it was After Eight. She was from Quality Street, he was a Fisherman's Friend. On the way they stopped at a Yorkie Bar, he had a Rum and Butter, she had a Wine Gum. He asked her name, "Polo, I'm the one with the hole" she said. "I'm...

Just fast dried some small bud from my grow which is 5.5-6 weeks flowering. Had a small joint and I was mashed but then again I haven't smoked in a while. Will it get stronger when fully ripe? This message is taking so long to write. Thanks

My 7 girls are 6 weeks into flowering and are too top heavy. The main colas go up to 11 inches long and 2.5-3 inches wide. They have started falling over as the plants are 5-5.5 foot tall. Anyone else suffer this kind of problem?

Don't use any ferts yet. They should be about 4 weeks before you need to use some else you will burn them.

I have had problems with brown spots looking like rust all over some leaves. They normall start off as light green/yellow spots which turn brown. I have found that it seems to be mg and adding some epsom salts to a water prevents them getting worse but they never recover. I am about 1-1.5 weeks...

I have 7 flowering plants (5 1/2 weeks). One of them is too tall for the grow room and is getting too close to the HPS light. I though of chopping the main cola off which will keep it away from the light. Is this a good idea? Will the other buds take over some of the energy? Also is it normal...
