I will try it again in the future and start with small doses during VEG. get them a base tan first. I should pull an OZ off my 2 BB's anyways so I'm happy with that, these other ones we'll see how they turn out, I always like making cookies with butter I prepared from trim. Its not something you...

yeah I thought the same thing. they must not be used to it, its like spring break, I always go to mexico after a long snowy winter and get torched every yr. But I have not been counting my two weeks of force flower as part of their flowering period, bc I have not force flowered and i think i...

yeah mercury vapors I hear are pretty intense. Back in the day I think they were some of the first lights people used to grow indoors and they would get so hot they would explode often. use up lots of electricity too for the light output

i have six plants, two rows of 3. two HPS suspended over top, one 400w, one 175w. I happened to have two lights and a 400 would prob suffice but this 175 is quite a complement. Didnt plan it this way, I have just acquired them both luckily. I clamped the uv light to a bar at the end of the...

no i didnt feel much heat and i keep the temps under control and have this entire grow. It has to be the CFL and the cone reflector I made from the mylar. I really have seen every problem from bugs, to root rot, nute burns and deficiencies, etc and this is a new look for my plants. not a...

and interesting on the flowering time, these were force flowered, if I counted those 2 weeks of force flowering in theory (and some pistils did show up on days 3-5 of force flower) they are on week 7 then if this is correct. i usually wait til pre flowering so no unexpected males show up...

yeah wow. I think i would prefer a fluoro tube over the CFL. but that mercury vapor bulb looks nasty! that one would have nuked my babies clean had I used it and assuming that was the problem...

well as far as flowering time, I always wonder, do you guys count the first 2 weeks of 12/12 as 'flowering' time or do you consider it pre-flowering? I grow mine til they are done regardless but have always been curious as so many people rely on these figures and publish flowering time w/their...

yeah its a reptile bulb from petco. zoo-med repti-sun 10.0 uvb desert 26w 10%uvb 30% uva , got the box right here. Such a deceiving little guy, it has to be defective or something. now that i think about it, my 2 blueberries were on the far side of the grow room that first day and prob werent...

whatever it might be, I had no problems before implementing this light. I have had several successful grows the past few years and this is something I have not seen before. But I agree, it could be anything. My plants only vegged for about 3 weeks in soil, I like smaller easy to manage plants...

I can post a pic later, but yeah I am sure. I have it at a 45 degree angle from one side of the grow room and it fried all the leaves that were facing it. Like a sunburn. I already have a lot of light in there, running two HPS and some fluoros on the side. But I keep the temps steady just under...

I have a 26w uv light and it only goes on for a little while during the day, and I have been keeping it away from the plants just in case and it has done some serious damage to the leaves. it is killing them! be careful everybody

soil is harder than hydro. I started a few yrs ago thinking I was so high tech with my hydro kit and books and shit... I pulled it off, but it was because you can control and know whats in your water, but you have have no idea EXACTLY what is in your soil. You can make hydro adjustments on the...

hey man, you'd need some ph adjustment IF the PH needed adjusting. Purple stems are not bad, most of the time thats part of the plants genetics. You will see many more in the future. If dead spots show up on leaves AND you have purple stems you need some calcium, and potassium/phosphorous. The...

dude. it smells like nothing else. not like weed, and it feels like there is no substance to it. i can water that thing like no other and in a day it is bone dry and the pot its in feels empty. The leaves look so crazy, they feel really thin and the plant in general has no substance other than...

if you have been running the lights 12/12 already I would hurry and switch back to veg, if you top during flowering it doesn't seem to work as well but you might be alright either way

looks like you got some mutations as well. some of mine were so bad they couldnt produce new growth and eventually died. really strange and it pissed me off because 8/10 did this and one out of ten was normal with some hermie traits that I was able to control. not cool after spending all that...

ps, be careful if you get one of those reptiSun bulbs. they are deceiving! it seems to be 'sun burning' some of my leaves. it looks like nothing when in the grow room but TRUST me there is lots of UV coming from it, i read something that says they travel pretty densely up to 20" away

here is an updated shot of the mutant Blueberry, I can't believe it survived through its nasty deformations when it was young but it did. The fan leaves are all sorts of crazy shapes and patterns but the buds seem just fine! and they have much bigger calyxes than my other one does... I have some...

I am not going to attempt to explain why topping does what it does, but just trust me and also look for more info on it and you will understand. Promise! with BB you NEED to do this and not waste 3-4 months of growing. I made that mistake and am regretting it big time. as far as the male to...
