Two weeks sounds like too long to veg even with an indica. What about an autoflowering strain like lowryder? I've never grown one but hear they stay very short and squat.

This isn't a substitute for calibrating your meter, but don't forget to get a water quality report from your utility company. They provide these free of charge and will tell you what ppm you can expect (may vary seasonally) as well as other things like calcium, sodium, etc. Go to their...

Could be a nitrogen deficiency, so yeah, a light feeding of gro nutes could help. Is it just those tiny lower leaves? If the rest of the leaves are lush and green I wouldn't worry about it.

Checking the trichs is the ultimate way to figure your harvest date but it's harder said than done for noobs. I prefer to work with a target date for harvest and then go a little earlier or later based on how the trichs look. Everyone does it their own way. I like to harvest when about 25%...

How many weeks into flowering are you? Looks like four or five to me. If you know the strain and the approx flowering time you should calculate your harvest date (use this calculator). Flush no more than 10 days but no less than three days before harvest. There's no firm rule on this. If...

Phase II is to add automatically controlled drip irrigation so I can take off for a couple days. I'm thinking of using rainbird lines and emitters but they have a tendency to leak and are hard to change configuration once set up. Does anyone know a good alternative?

I think you need to let it go a bit longer. The leaves look sativa-ish but I can't really tell from the pics. Is she growing stout and dense or tall and lanky? If it's growing in a sativa pattern then you'll def want to give it more time. Also, the hairs are all white, another reason why...

I think it would be a great idea and have heard some people suggest cannabis use naming conventions similar to purebred dogs. Yes, legality is an issue, but if California growers can get "Clean Green" certified for their grows then why not for the strains? Right now there's so many different...

I've never heard of those products but I like SM90 for spider mites. The label doesn't say anything about using it for mites but trust me, it works really well. It's a foliar spray that should be used every 2-3 days for 10 days. Just make sure to spray the underside of the leaves as that's...

Here's some bud porn I just had to post. This is a Kryptonite plant I'll harvest in the next few days, week max. I checked it out today and just couldn't believe how friggin' frosty she is! Practically dripping with trichs. This is what I call a "bonus plant" meaning it's not part of my...

Appleseed...Thank you! That's a great tip. ----------- I'm using a growlab tent with a 6'7" ceiling. With lights (hydrofarm radiant 8's) there isn't a ton of height. It's fine for soil grows but my ebb & flow table had to go :( I've been using ProMix HD but am testing out Sunshine #4 on...

I would kill it, not mess with it. Pollen can travel miles and there's always a chance you'd transfer it to your ladies from your clothes or hands. It's not worth potentially seeding your crop. Carefully put a bag over it, cut him down, and chuck it in the trash.

I think prop 19 is a good idea but I agree there's no telling what's going to happen once the Attorney General sues the state. My gut tells me they won't be able to stop it -- they'd have to arrest thousands of people to enforce federal law and it simply isn't practical. Plus there would be a...

They are 8" pots. 8" diameter and 8" tall so that makes them 1.5 gallons. I toss a handful of hydroton in the bottom to help drainage but that's just me.

Well I've still got the shop vac to get the water out :) but I can also just lift the gutter and pour it out easily enough. What I need now is a mini sump pump. The ladies are ready to rock (they're a little droopy in the pic 'cause they just got transplanted). They're Jillybean's from TGA...

I would definitely do that if I had a higher ceiling. I used to run a full ebb & flow hydro set up but took it out because there just wasn't enough space between the lights and the tray to grow a decent sized plant. I tried to keep this as low profile as possible and hate losing even the four...

One problem I had was that the angle of the sheeting is slow low that the water would get to the end and run a couple inches on the bottom side before dripping off. I moved the gutter in closer but also used pliers to make small drain tips in the ends. Problem solved. I can't be the...

Third was the gutter. Plastic gutters are cheap as hell and you can cut it to whatever length you need with a regular saw and just pop end caps on. I made mine 45" wide to hold as much water as possible while still short enough to not be in the way. Finally I put my plants on it and watered...

First I put the metal sheeting in the grow room. They are only 27" wide and I needed 33" so I just overlapped two which also gives me the flexibility to make it wider or narrower. Next I cut the boards into 30" lengths and stacked them to form the supports. 26 guage sheeting is pretty...

I've heard it said that laziness is the root of all innovation and I think that might be true. As much as I love growing indoors I don't like spending more time than necessary and I'm all over anything that will make it easier. One chore that had been driving me nuts is emptying saucers...
