Dont forget its name - weed. Its literally a weed and killing it is extremely negligent and difficult to do if you treat it like a plant. Grows in the Hindu kush region ffs. Willing to bet very few of you have actually BEEN to northern Afghanistan and seen a field of these growing in sand right?

Update pic before you all go stating issues 1,2,3&4 I already know its time for a first feed blah blah I've done this before

Update: she's responded well with the curvature to the LST. The soil is the same un-nuted stuff I've used for every grow. She was stretched before I even had her. New node growth is tight so clearly the light was an issue before. Had her 3 days so give it time... 3 days!!!

Meet my new adopted friend called Meep, she was being thrown out by a friend due to looking sick & retarding a bit. Overnight she's already looking better after repotting & blue light treatment. Confirmed female, unknown age (approx 2-3 weeks) and unknown history (slight abuse from what I've...

Seriously op. seriously?!?

Either heat stress or an overwatering. They look fine to be honest, but for the love of mary move that cfl back slightly, you may end up bleaching the poor pigments out with too much physical light. Neuts. In seedlings. Dare i ask the logic. The soil SHOULD be nuteless for seedlings, with good...

Is it ok to do? On my 2nd grow now and they seem a f*ck load bushier due to light change since last grow effort through veg&flower phases. All healthy, strong, no defficiencies or pests. Bush is so dense theres zero penetration with a 500w HPS. Being descriptive as: A) my ipod hates uploading...

Looks like damping off... :( Is that the styrofoam "maguyver" method? Or genuine perlite? Wont lie, ive tried both and found the maguyver method just as effective. Back on topic, looks like damping off which is tragic when it occurs, my condolences

Final lil note, optimal lumen rate is approx 7k per sq ft, 4.5k is about the "middle mark". 6400k+ spec of bluelight preff for veg, 2300k spec of red for flower. Heavier density with HiD & HPS combo, cfl's while good for compact space and heat management, can have issues penetrating the canopy...

Btw they look a lil droopy although it may just be my eyes... Check for under/over water symptoms. Im guessing as its your 1st it may be overwatering, weve all done it :)

Key word-Patience. Give it approximately 6 weeks of veg, or whatever your prefferance of size. You *may* see preflowers by week 4 dependant on growth rate/strain. When youre comfortable, switch to flower. As for the actual flower stage, i aim for a portion of amber trichs which is *about*...

To clarify, both types, personal and in the "sale" catagory were all foil wrapped like sandwiches. Not trying to fight back, just that i do think curing and drying in pitch black makes sense to me. Just watch out for those goddamned PGR's hydro shops throw in their nutes, or you'l soon find a...

Im "probably" saying too much already... Trade secrets n' all that...

My late father used to keep the cut off buds hanging upside down in tin foil wraps, he was always adamant that keeping the buds in the pitch black when drying made them stronger. So me and my brother took a gram of his finished personal product and Compared it to the other buds being given light...

Research. For the love of mary, research.
