    First Grow( hope to make it my career one day)

    Ranchos429 is spot on! Get a couple more 6500k spectrum cfls. This will help it grow as well as keep those nodes nice and tight. When you do flip to 12/12 you will want to change to a 2700k spectrum to promote flowering and the more you can cram around the plant the better. Be mindful on Miracle...

    Beginning indoor grow

    Hey bigbull52 it is very possible to grow great medicine on a low budget. I would invest in blue spectrum lights for veg, example 6500k cfl lights. Cheap and low heat. Just make sure to keep them close to the plants. As far as soil try to stay away from Miracle Grow or any others that have a lot...

    Also just a side note a Magnesium deficiency will show new growth as a light lime green. Investing in a good CalMag supplement is recommended. One can also use Epsom salt for Magnesium deficiency.

    new groth yellow pics!!!!

    Hey James21 honestly your plants look pretty good from the pics. New growth will tend to be lighter color then slowly fading to the green color we all know and love. I would monitor the plants for a few days and just see how they grow. Also just keep in mind to watch ph and don't overwater. I...

    Newbie grow, need help re: seedling strategy

    Also jwoodson I do recommend a heating pad if possible. Definitely helps those roots form faster. And I would personally let those seeds get stabilized and strong before going to your aeroponics however I admit I've never dabbled in aero. But my thought process being letting those seeds get a...

    Newbie grow, need help re: seedling strategy

    Jwoodson you are in the right track my friend! Very jealous of your background :) So germinating these seeds is very easy and should not be complicated. I have always used the paper towel method until it taproots and gets about 1/4 inch or so. I just got 10 seeds of Bubblelicious from nirvana...

    a few questions

    Hey there moppy. You know I've always been on the fence about the darkness with only ever reading opinions and hearsay. From my thought process the dark period is beneficial to get those excess nutes down to the roots and inactive. That's the big upside I see to dark period as well as letting...

    Taking Clones

    Hey jstone1633 my practice is to water the mother prior to cutting a clone. Supplying you have a healthy mother, this will aid that cutting in transitioning and surviving the rooting process

    is this enough?

    Stonedpixie that is looking good for your one plant. Just remember to keep them as close as possible, watch your temperatures, and allow good air exchange. For veg she is going to want more of the blue spectrum light so your 6400's and 6500's are optimum. When you switch to flower give her...

    18/6 light question

    zack66 has a GREAT point! Good call man. The last thing you want is to bring in a pest from outside and have it ruin your indoor grow environment.

    Hello

    They look absolutely beautiful. Doing a great job 2k3! I'm not sure if you have changed your water schedules but i would maybe try watering every 2-3 days, of course depending on plant needs and environment. This will allow your roots to stretch a little bit and grow. A bigger root ball means a...

    is this enough?

    Rob that is a great idea regarding painting a cardboard box white! Working with what is available to us is the most any of us can do. Stonedpixie-- regarding how to fix those pieces of cardboard maybe try a strong durable brand of double sided tape or adhesive or maybe even a sticky adhesive...

    tommy bhoy

    Before any assumptions i always check that PH first! Once you have nailed that down then move on to diagnosing nutrient disorder. Also how often are you watering and what is your feeding schedule and amounts like? What kind of soil mix do you have there? Here is an external link that you may...

    Recommendations , i started drying yesterday

    Whats going on man. From my experience i have found that the slower the dry the better. You do not want the product to dry too fast thus locking in chlorophyll and affecting the taste and smell. By allowing the product to slow dry you will get a smoother, more aromatic and tastier product once...

    Trigering Anthocyanin (color pigment)

    This is an interesting topic. Maybe my two cents can help you on your way. I am not sure on the comparison with cannabis but i do know that adjusting the PH of Hydrangeas will affect whether or not they color to red\pink or purple\blue. If you keep the PH of the Hydrangeas at 5.2 to 5.5 this...

    I couldn't wait... In the oven with my wite widow. Have you tried it?

    Just as kpmarine stated i always decarb when making my medibles. As long as the buds,trim,etc are wrapped in foil or are in something so the vapors cant escape decarbing is great and i feel a must for high quality edibles. I usually decarb between 210 and 220F for 20 mins or so.

    Havei done this right?

    Hey MeekMill looking good. This is one of those things that everyone has their own little way of doing that works for them and their drying\curing environment. Me personally i have found that hanging the whole plant after chop for 2-3 days then pulling off fan leaves and other leaves gives me a...
