Thanks! I appreciate the input. Harvest time is here! :-)

Great feedback folks. Thanks very much. What's everyone's opinion about avg flowering time? I realize it depends on the genetics. Does 16 weeks seem reasonable? Long? Thanks again for the replies

Question about harvesting your plants when roughly 1/2 to 2/3 of the trichomes have turned from clear to amber. I have read posts here that indicate that many grows will take a full 16 weeks of flowering since most grows aren't under perfect conditions. I have also read that if you wait too...

I am using all the Fox Farm stuff. I have learned to use it in smaller amounts than the FF feed chart recommends, but am still confused about one thing. Is it ok to use the liquids (Grow Big, Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom) every feed? It says to only use the solubles (Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz...

So Mygirls, I take it my shade leaves should turn yellow before harvest? Some of them? Most of them? All of them? And will this only happen during flushing? I assume they won't yellow as long as they're getting nitrogen? Thanks!

thanks for the feedback Mygirls and Closetgrowth!

Thanks for the feedback. Anyone else have an opinion on the reason for the "claw"? I had this on my first batch as well. I thought it was from over fertilizing so cut back on the fert for this second batch but still have the claw as you can see. If it is a watering issue, I will need to...

Folks, I need some advice. This is my second grow. Today is the 74th day of flowering. The plants are in a phototron with 6 4000K flourescents and two SL-18 bulbs. I have been monitoring the trichomes with an electronic microscope. To date they remain clear. This suprises me a little...

I have plants about to start week 10 of flowering. I have no way to check the trichs. What kind of magnifier do I need and where can I get one? Thanks!

So how long do your plants normally flower? I know that each strain is different so there are no hard and fast rules, but what is a ballpark estimate? 8-10 weeks? 10-12? Longer? And how do you tell they are ready to harvest? By looking at the trichomes? Can that be done with the naked eye...

Thanks to all for the feedback. In answer to a couple questions, I used Foxfarm nutes. I will cut down amount this next batch. The lights are 6 55 watt 4800K bulbs. As far as genetics, I don't actually know what strain this is. I do know that the seeds came from some of the most potent...

Hiya, Just finished my first real grow following recommendations learned in this forum. I was very pleased with the final product. (See picture). I'm starting a new batch and want to know how to increase the thc production. As you can see from the picture, the buds in the first batch were...

Thanks McGuyver! Great feedback!

The new bulbs are also 55 watt bulbs.

I’m growing in a Phototron unit that has 6 55 watt compact fluorescents. I had never paid much attention to the bulbs until finding this forum and getting an education about light spectrums and the plants’ needs during vegetative and flowering stages. According to what I read I need...
