thats kinda what mine is looking like, but I also have web like patches. Looked at it under a microscope and its definitely mold. I dont think that it will hurt you if you smoke it after its dried. Probably taste like crap at the worse. I dont know though... thats why Im askin.

Are you speaking from experience? Why not smoke it? You think I can just cut the buds out that are infected now and it shouldnt effect the rest?

I am in the eighth week of flower and have noticed that a few of my buds have mold on them. I am curious as to what the readers may be able to tell me. What can I do, if anything, to fix this problem. Can I use a fungicide? Should I cut the buds now and just deal with it. Is it a total loss? I...

Thanks for the info about the heat with the 42's. I will definitely be going with the smaller wattage if/when I concoct something. This thread started when this thought just popped in my head and I wanted to see what the folks on RIU thought. My last harvest was descent (7 oz. off 5 girls) but...

Looks like mites to me also. You can use a a soap based foliage spray. Apply once a week for three weeks and that should do it. Will leave a slight residue but wont affect taste. You can also use lady bugs. Be careful with mites. They will transfer to your other plants if leaves are touching...

Looks like a Phosphorus deficiency to me. Are your stems turning a purple/red? Starting to turn downward? If so... may be a P problem. What medium are you growing in?

Thanks Jed. I like what you are saying. We seem to be on the same page. Just a thought, but we will see how my mind runs with it. I dont know if the heat would be much of a problem. I would only be using 23 watter's, MAYBE 42's. My ventilation is pretty descent also to help with the heat. Room...

Why would I use 5600k bulbs during flowering? You may have not read the whole link. So with the 23w lights, you have not had any problems with burning your buds or are you using this technique only in the growth stage?

Good point. Nice idea. Thanks

Havent purchase anything yet. Still feeling out the idea.

Thanks desertrat. Yeah my closet is kind of on the small side (2x4x8'). My first couple grows had some smaller buds on the bottom were light penetration was not all that good. This idea was to remedy that (I hope). So if the poly is used on solar panles then it should be fine with my...

You are catching what I am throwing down. I will ventilate by not capping it. Just let the circulated air pass thru either end freely. My main issue that I am having, before I start spending money on an idea that wont pan out, is that the light will not penetrate the plastic and all beneficial...

The purpose of the sleeve IMO, is that I wouldnt have to worry about the light touching my plant(s) at all. They may touch the sleeve, but not the light itself. My intent is to hang this light in between the plants, so there would be "touching".

So I have an idea, but Im not sure it will work. So, I am reaching out for all opinions. I am trying to get more light penetration on my lower folliage. My idea is this... I am thinking about making a plastic cfl "sleeve" of sorts. Was thinking about using some 4'' tubing and installing a two...

I had to put it in for smell and to keep my temp in check. I am using CFL lighting, but it was still getting into the 90's. I am running the exhaust on the same timer as my lights. I do have a small fan that stays on 24 hours. I am more worried about stale air and/or high humdity. I was just...

I am doing a small (2x4x8') closet grow. I bought a 175 cfm vortex inline fan, with a phresh filter. I am curious as to everyones opinion as to how long I should run the fan. Do I run it 24/7? Do I run it for 15 min every couple hours? All opinions are welcome.

Sounds pretty good. Curious how that 150 is gonna work out for ya. With the space that you have, I would have chosen at least a 400 watter. But who knows... I use nothing but CFL's. Try some ff cha-ching in the final month of flower. Its organic, cheap, and your buds will love you.

I use 2/3 fox farms ocean forest and 1/3 fox farms happy frog. After turning out the lights (12/12) I add some bone meal as a topper, and once more 4 weeks later. Pretty good mix for me... and its organic.

Im currently using 2/3 foxfarm ocean forest and 1/3 happy frog. Works pretty good.

Nice buds my friend. What soil and nutes were you using? Strains? I just got done with my first grow of five plants myself. All were of the same strain (Grape Ape) though. I am curecntly curing them now. I would be interested in your final dry weight as a comparison to my own. How are you...
