    Veteran Needs Help. PICS Flowering Day 64

    BlessAmerica, I see a PH issue there too BUT let her finish it wont harm the buds. I'm a veteran soil grower who never tests PH beyond a sample test once per grow! Result is I often get a touch of that late flowering but I dont panic too much. As you have flushed her through things should...

    celery stick looking stem

    I love mutants! You MUST reveg her if its not too late. When you are lucky enough to find one they are special. I have one going right now, same 'celery' stick stem and triple bud with layered leafing like yours, mines an AK47x. When I came to flowering I rejected 2 other females in favour of...

    Inquiry?...First Grow

    Those look pretty good to me :-) Sometimes you just get that varigated colouring, I certainly dont see anything to suggest PH imbalance on those plants yet personally, at least nothing I'd worry about. Longer veg = better yield generally speaking I agree. Talking of maturity, remember these...

    Organic, stealth, CFL grow.

    .....And heres the AK47/LR mutant Again day 45. Also a shot into the cabinet so you can see my training methods. Note I have just cut all those strings to let them finish and removed the dead lower fans. You can see the 'celery stick' mutant stem and the triple bud with layered leafing. Shes...

    are cfls worth it?

    Enjoyed reading through the posts in this thread. I agree totally that CFL's ARE most certainly worth using for flowering too. I have only recently switched to them after years of using HPS lamps for bigger grows. I have downsized to a 2 plant grow and what I'm seeing with my 350watts of CFL's...

    Uk cheese 375w enviro grow

    Looking good there UF :-) Re posting clones, we have found that 2 methods worked well in the past. 1 (Unrooted fresh cuts) . take the cuts, dip in clonex or whatever then just wrap the stem in wet kitchen roll and then wrap again in cling film. Into CD case and away :-) 2. (Rooted cuts) Root...

    300W CFL Box Stealth Grow, Pictures.

    Very nice healthy plants. Congrats on the 1st girl :-) One thing you never lose as a grower is the excitement of seeing those first tiny pistils emerging. Judging from that last shot I'd say you have things bang under control, she's a beauty so far. Keep us updated.

    New CFL Grow

    Looking good :-) Nice honest CFL shots there too, going to be a good harvest. I'm into the last 3 weeks of my first full CFL grow and have really enjoyed it. Its been fun all the tieing down and pulling round etc... I got sore knees from all the bending down in my cabinet! I've been growing...

    Organic, stealth, CFL grow.

    6 weeks + 3 days 12/12 today! Slowly getting there, I'll cut these at around 9 weeks as usual. Pics show the AK47/LR and the Bubba O Kush gradually yellowing now. Had a PK boost last feed and now I'll probably just let them finish with a flush for the last couple of weeks or so. The taste of...

    Organic, stealth, CFL grow.

    Thats just Perlite. I add about 20% Perlite to my soil mix which is a free draining loam based soil anyway. I'm at 6 weeks and 2 days today of 12/12. Buds are putting on weight now and really frosting up well. I'm well impressed with what these CFL's are capable of :-) I aim to harvest...

    touching/fingering flowering plants?? help

    Show me the grower who CAN keep his fingers off those beautiful glistening buds :-) I like to compare the potential taste and smell of strains that way, the taste can be incredible. No harm done HoC.

    First CFL Grow. Any comments are welcomed with open arms

    Some suggestions/solutions :-) 1.Consider repotting to allow those roots to stetch a little into clean fresh soil. I have found that this can overcome most issues around PH fluctuation/salts/nutes build up etc in late veg/early flowering. Wont do any harm at all if done carefully and...

    orange and black like spot on seedlings?

    It still seems way too early for such PH issues/lock out etc to do that much damage to leaves! However, whats done is done so we have to address the issue of allowing them to recover. You WONT stop that damage spreading to those leaves already affected, what you need to be looking for now are...

    f@ck autoflowering plants

    You simply can't just dismiss the autos like that! They have taken the grow world by storm in the last couple of years and mid summer last year it was impossible to get hold of any.... everywhere was sold out! For VERY MANY people those autos offer a better alternative to having to buy...

    NEVER EVER BUY SEEDS from Dr. Chronic if USA RESIDENT !

    Just a word to balance this thread. DrChronic has a first class reputation here in the UK for reliablity. At HG420 his old site you could contact him directly. He's not a faceless seedseller either, I know many people who have met him face to face and will testify to his integrity. Having said...

    f@ck autoflowering plants

    Been interesting reading opinions in this thread. I think the main point of the thread is that these autos just don't do as well outdoors as indoors? Last year I had a pack of the Deisel Ryders, tried some in and some outdoors. Indoors did WAY better on yield (although nowhere near the dry OZ...

    orange and black like spot on seedlings?

    Thats good :-) If they felt at all warm and damp may be worth just potting up slightly to give them some fresh 'clean' soil to stetch into. They will grow through this stage so dont worry. Can I ask why you decided to feed them so soon? Where you trying to correct some kind of issue that...

    orange and black like spot on seedlings?

    I'd say that the guy above has given you the answer already :-) Give those delicate root systems a chance to develop! Personally I NEVER feed seedlings and I only use a spray bottle for the first 2 weeks so its impossible to accidentally overwater them, just spray the soil lightly around them...
