Main concern is the leaves are curling under and discoloring - too much/too little fertilizer? Oh yeah I trimmed the bottom leaves. It turned out to be a hermie so it's a bit spindly as well - I'm just hoping the tops come out ok. It's been in 12/12 for a few weeks now

I was doing so well until... Larger

If you don't do it right, it turns into a gigantic hermaphroditic monster that blooms forever but doesn't produce a single smokable bud. I learned the hard way; cuttings are easy.

Are there any numbers comparing room temperature acetone vs cold acetone vs rubbing alcohol vs drinking alcohol when it comes to THC extraction? I've extracted salvinorin from saliva before, so I have a bunch of acetone laying around, but I don't want to use it if it's not effective for THC...

Well, no. But won't the trichomes reach maturity before the buds get bigger now since the plant is retarded?

I have 4 baby cuttings ready and able. It's just I want to get this goliath out of the way! And I don't know whether to keep going or cut my losses since it's been blooming so long.

I probably have them too far away, but I didn't think it'd mess up growth this much. It's definitely been blooming for over 2 months now. What should I do? Adjust the lights and keep it blooming? Cut and just treat my clones better?

The last harvest had even smaller buds (I may not have let it bloom long enough). They work... but aren't very potent. They get the job done. As far as nutrients, I gave it a bunch of Miracle Gro Bloom Mix... The only thing I can think of is that the lights aren't close enough, which they...

I left my camera's USB cable at work. I'll try to remember it tomorrow. I'm growing under 2 2ft T5's and 4 CFLs of 100-150 watt equivalence. It's a revegged plant - say about 2 months. The first harvest was... weak and premature. This time around looks a lot better, but I'm having trouble...

I don't exactly have the best set-up, so my buds look a little... pathetic compared to the pics here. I thought I was almost ready to harvest (pistils were mostly red) but then my plant got a new set of white pistils. I'm tryin' to use this Radio Shak microscope but it's proving a bit...

When I harvest, is there an easy way to determine which buds have seeds and which do not? Will water curing the buds ruin the seeds?

Let's say I harvested and then re-vegged a plant for a couple months and then re-flowered it. In the last week or two it's gotten the tiny yellow flowers and pollen spillage. This is pretty late in the bloom stage, I can't say exactly, but at least 4 weeks. I'm not too worried about this crop...

Yeah, I don't care about maximizing results, I care about removing smell. Maybe when I have more time and a plant that doesn't look like Godzilla I'll build a box with a fan and all that fancy crap. I wasn't able to procure the required things VM's system requires, but I got some febreeze and...

Aside from building an air tight box and having a carbon filter output, what's the next best thing? Do any commercial air filters (like ionic breeze, etc) help? Baking soda? A combination? What are your successes and failures?
