Old thread, I know... Viruses have specific tropisms, meaning they can only bind to cells/tissues that have certain receptors on them. This is "mostly" why other animal/plant viruses cannot infect humans (nobody bring up H1N1!!!) Tobacco mosaic virus is no different... simply put, cannabis...

Yours looks far more beautiful than mine did at 4.5 weeks, however mine are 2-3 times as large w/ lots more bud sites... but not as dense looking (by that I mean yours are getting in prime position to fatten up pretty soon). Currently, mine are more developed than yours (and today is 10 weeks...

Throw more pics up!!!

go with deionized water if you can get it! No EC contribution, pure pure H2O!!!

lookin good! I'm days away from 10 weeks flowering my 2 WW's and Himalayan gold. Definitely got a sativa pheno in both strains. Trics are almost 100% cloudy, no amber except on pistils (am looking for ~30-50% amber on calyx's)

Listen to Fatrider! The more experienced I become the more I realize that people just spew BS based on inaccurate observations. I've heard that root rot can lower pH. Heat stress and light intensity will also do this. On the back of my GH bottle of nutrients it says "Reduce nutrient strength...

Ok.. maybe my situation can enlighten you. I have a pH meter and an EC meter and have been running GH nutrients at about 45% strength, EC of .9-1 (w/ deionized water which adds no EC value). I have 3 huge plants in a homemade aeroponics unit w/ a 2.5 gallon nutrient reservoir. Lately I have...

hey brixtonthc, can you put some updated pics up... I'd like to see how they look 2 weeks later

I just got the microscope from radioshack for 13 bucks...hard to use after a bunch of coffee haha but works great (I ended up cutting off a little piece and put it on white paper). Overall trichs are 50% cloudy 50% clear (day 66 flower)

Dude, you and I are in the same boat! My WW's look exactly like yours at week 9.5 (some brown hairs but mostly white and loose/airy buds). I checked mine under a fine ass microscope the other day and the trichs are proceeding to cloudy but mostly clear still. I estimated 2-3 more weeks...

Well RH stands for relative humidity. It would be a lot easier for water to evaporate in this type of system (aeroponics) and contribute more to humidity.

I second that medicineman. Today is day 50 and I don't imagine mine will be done for another few weeks yet...

I to have an aero unit (homemade.. large rubbermaid so its aeroponic verging on NFT) and I also only use GH nutrients (trio). My buds looked exactly like that a week ago and have begun to fill out. Here are some pointers that might help you increase they're size. 1) On the GH bottle it says...

haha aren't we all! I have 2 WW's and 1 HG. Its my first time in an aeroponics system and OMG!! My grow room can't handle their height and as a result my yield is going to take a hit (b/c their now right under the 400 watt hps). I vegged for 3-4 weeks and it was wayyyyy to long. I don't...

It all depends on how you like to get high! Listen to what everyone has said so far... its the trichomes that you want to look at, and it will determine the kind of high (in conjunction w/ strain type) you get. Somebody also brought up plant color (light green to dark green). When it goes to...
