    Thanks a lot for the props! I'm glad at least some people are reading this :-).

    Yeah, this is a dream of mine. Unfortunately, I do not have the space for it... yet.

    First Time Grow - Semi-stealthy (Rubbermaid tubs), CFLs, Autopots, Auto AK47

    Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been keeping up with my grow thread (though I should have, my bad). I had no major odor issues (due to only maturing one at a time), except for during drying when they were all hanging upside down around my room, hehe. Weight of the harvest was, as said...

    First Time Grow - Semi-stealthy (Rubbermaid tubs), CFLs, Autopots, Auto AK47

    Dropping by for a quick update. I started a new grow about 6 weeks ago right after my first harvest. Some highlights: 1) I started the grow without moving the lights at all (kept them all at the very top). Had 6 27W veg CFLs, 2 42W flowering CFLs (because I was feeling lazy and didn't want to...

    Just checking in. This is the placeholder for the final harvest pictures. Dry weight after trimming and manicuring: 49.7 g or 1.75 oz. The high is very couch-locky, which personally I do not prefer, but I can't really complain. You would think that means I might've harvested too late, but if...

    12/12 under CFLS after 4 weeks of veg

    Right, I'm not an expert, but I know enough to realize he's making some noob mistakes. At least I'm actually trying to help him, you're just smiling and nodding ("big adventure", I like that, spoken like a true stoner...) - you mean you agree with what he's done, and you have no questions to ask...

    12/12 under CFLS after 4 weeks of veg

    Many problems to this grow. 1) Who said you can go 12/12 from seed to finish? WHO???? You have been sadly misinformed, and it shows by how sad your plant looks after 4 weeks. Erysichthon was right. The only strains that handle a constant lighting cycle (same cycle) from start to finish are...

    Adding veg nutes in flowering phase to counter nitrogen deficiency?

    Ok, I think I get what you're trying to say... Yes, it was kind of a sudden change. Now that you made me think about it, I DID have some residual veg phase nutrient water (maybe 0.5-1 gal) in the reservoir, but I thought it wouldnt hurt if I kept it in there and just added the new 2 gal of...

    Adding veg nutes in flowering phase to counter nitrogen deficiency?

    I have a hydro grow that's been in flowering for maybe 2 weeks (I'm still not too sure how long it's been... but it's on week 6 right now, and I'm starting to see some frosty calyxes in addition to many pistils). It is an autoflowering AK47 strain (lowryder #2 x AK47). However, it LOOKS like...

    Week 6 Almost harvest time. Hopefully in about 2 weeks I can cut for drying/curing, which will free up the tub for two new plants. Updates: - Plant grew to its limit and paid for it by some heat stress. I've raised the light mount to the top and had to raise the top part of the tub (see below)...

    Week 5 Update: I noticed some pistils at the "top" parts of each branch, and so I switched immediately to 2700K CFL's (since pistils at top pretty much means it'll stop branching out and start budding aka flowering). There really are not a lot of resources out there that clearly showed when...

    First Time Grow - Semi-stealthy (Rubbermaid tubs), CFLs, Autopots, Auto AK47

    Week 4 Nothing new. The female is starting to look like its (dead) brother. Preflowers in the form of pistils are showing (two at each preflower). Thinking about switching to bloom nutes and 2700K CFL's, but I think I'll wait until I see full-on flowering. Note: the yellow that you see on...

    Week 3 Viewers, today is a sad day. Why? Read on... Pot 1 (pictured below) was the biggest of the two. Turns out it was male though, so he went in the trash. I didn't really like the smell of it drying. Pot 2 (pictured below) was the smaller of the two, with some heat stress burns from when...

    How can you tell when an autoflowering strain is in flowering phase?

    The subject of the thread pretty much says it all. I've got autoflowering AK47 and it's been under 6500K CFL's for around 3 weeks now, and I'm not sure when I should change to 2700K's.

    Yellow streak, no blotches, on young plant

    Here's a picture: I'm growing on coir, my nutrient medium pH is 6.7-6.8, but my soil pH meter shows a reading of 7-8 for some reason, so maybe that's the culprit? I don't know, the other plant, which is on the same medium made at the same time, and being fed with the same nutrient water...
