Yeah, you're fine. At this point in the life cycle they basically need enough light to promote vegetative growth - roughly 18 hours. If you think about it, plants in nature never get anywhere near 24 hours of light. With lights indoors, you're trying to mimic natural conditions but are able to...

Hey RIU. I'm doin my first hempy grow, HPS and MH 400watt. I had been having problems getting seeds started in rockwool and ended up wasting many of the femenized seeds i had purchased(Northern lights). Figured it out with 3 seeds from some this seasons outdoor crop that got pollinated and then...

I'm using tap water. My tap water is hard (minerals in it, usually calcium and magnesium) if that might be a problem? and I Ph the water to around 6. firsttimeARE i do basically exactly what you say, dip the bottom in briefly and let it soak up water (except no nutrients, just Phed water) and...

Hey RIU, I've been growing more and more stressed over the last 2 weeks and need some help. I have grown quite successfully outdoors in the past, trying my first indoor setup now with hempy buckets, starting seeds in rockwool. I got 5 good feminized seeds from Nirvana. Heres whats been going...

Alright thanks for the input guys, I'm going to go for it. Im heading out tomorrow and will hopefully be coming home tomorrow night with a nice collection of curing buds :weed: Ill let you guys know how it goes, just for reference purposes take it easy, japh

Oh i completely agree, i was mainly just asking if people thought my plan would work. Like, could i head to my plants in the afternoon and do this, and head home that night with dry weed? Also, Ive read a lot of threads about this but there is a lot of controversy, is it an OK idea to just...

Yeah. my roommate knows i smoke and is cool with me vaping in the room but i doubt he'd appreciate if i was drying a bunch of weed in our room. id also be concerned about it smelling from the hall. i have some friends who could easily drawer dry it for me where they are, but the issue with...

I could get away with drying it in a drawer? Dude, I'm in a smallish room with another guy, that would totally smell up the whole room. How could i get away with drying it in a drawer? And i figure its less of an issue because its not actually being dried by sunlight...its being sweat dried from...

that would be dank man, thats what I'm trying to avoid

Hey RIU. My first grow (outdoor) is finishing up, I'm planning to harvest this weekend. I am in college and don't have my own place at the moment to dry them however. I read someone say somewhere that your can wrap buds in newspaper and set it out in the sun and it will be dry in 20 minutes...

Yo, hoping some people could give me some input on this. The way it is looking right now, I am not going to have a house that i can dry in and with harvest season coming up, I have been racking my brain for ideas of how to dry my herb. I have read up on drying in paper bags, and that sounds...
