Hi. What you can do, instead of trimming the leaf, if it's still nice and green - is just to bend it out of the way, tuck it under something. That way the plant will be able to take back the chlorophyll, and use it for new growth. This only makes sense if you have time to fuzz over a few plants...

Hello nopo. I red your thread, and the answers you got. Here's my take. It is not uncommon that females will also produce a couple pollen-sacks. That does not make them a 'hermie' In fact that is what you need for feminized seeds. The pollen from these plants have female DNA, and will - when...

I live in New Mexico - roughly same humidity - I'd say no to one day curing, unless you've got some micro-buds. I had some 6-8 footers from outdoors, and they hang two weeks, as in the whole plant upside down, and another two weeks on the branches. You don't want to dry it too quickly, generally...

On a tight schedule - huh? You don't mention anything about what kind of lights you use, so I'm asking. Possibly your lights aren't strong enough to trigger flowering. And generally speaking, the more intense your lights, the sooner you'll see flowering - which makes think of my next question...

Well, if your plants have assumed growing, and your trichomes aren't past their prime - I guess you're in good shape. Seems like you have answered your own question. Those babies are filling in! Good!

OK - new day. Took a few pictures of the babies. They're under 24/7 LED, and seem to be doing allright. Not too much stretching, and I can tell they're growing from day to day. The way I have set it up, I have to go into the room every evening, and close the 24/7 light section, from the 12/12...

Yeah. One reason for not mixing daylight and artificial in your house - is that, it's called a greenhouse. One reason for not using a greenhouse for your growing operation, is that they are easy to spot. The combination of 'large solar amounts' and stealth and completely hiding lights at night...

Transplanting can be done in a careful way, so it reduces the stress of the plant. If I use plastic, I cut the sides vertically with scissors or a sharp blade. This is when you want your fingers out of the way - heavy duty scissors/shop shears may be better. By making 3-5 cuts more or less from...

What's the point? Running the lights more - up to 24 hrs - allows the plants to grow more and faster, than they will under 12/12 - and prevent them from blooming before you want them to. If you run 12/12 light and 2700K, you'll probably have some little scrawny plants, that may may not bloom -...

Two days ago? - those plants look like they're two days old. Seeds will sprout without light. After they have sprouted you need to supply adequate amounts of light - without frying them, due to placing them too close, but without adequate light, like in your case, they will stretch in the hope...

It would be completely wrong to assume a 50/50 make-up of gender, when it comes to growing. I must assume based on your thread, that you are female - but how many female growers do you know? I know none - and lots of male growers. It's way cool that girls grow, but instead of feeling insulted...

Something tells me you're a bit ahead of yourself. As I'm sure you've already picked up in DNA-class every cell of everything living contains DNA - with the exception of egg and sperm-cells. That aside I would recommend that you start with cross-pollination. (For that you're not going to need...

One common method that I find to work well, is just to tie down toward the top of the plant to encourage a more horizontal growth. That also tends to make the branches right themselves upward, so you get many 'top' shoots. You can use any variation of the method to suit your plant, as well as...

After that long I would not expect more growth. On the contrary, you will lose THC levels, by waiting too long. I would assume that your trichomes are past prime, and even though a plant is packing on more vegetable matter, so it seems as if you're getting more bud - there is little or no growth...

What you say works, but it's not enough, sustained. I think a simple yeast/sugar would work better. - better yet, start brewing your own beer or wine, and let the CO2 into your grow-room. Vinegar and baking soda is a reaction that only lasts for seconds. If you use yeast and sugar - suspended in...

You can give your plant a sip of beer - it's nutriens, but easy to overdo. Better put it on you lawn, like someone suggested. Your cannabis plant is more than anything addicted to light.

That's the nicest I've seen in a while. What a weed she is.

The price of LED is coming down - and the efficiency is increasing. A regular household outlet will allow a draw of approximately 1600 watts - that's your 15amp breaker. Same as your curling iron, micro wave, blow dryer - what have you. Unless they can 'see' the the light-leak from your HPS...

That fan is not going to make or break your set up - they're inserts for what's sometimes referred to as a fart-fan, and Home Depot sells them for $12-15. It'll move maybe 50 cfm - and you could slap a carbon filter on it - to reduce exhaust smell. Since it's there - utilize it.

Of course your plants are stressed from being transplanted. Give them a week or so, they'll get back. pH is more tricky, and in my own opinion it works better to gain as much knowledge as possible about which factors bring pH up, and what brings it down - rather than measure every day, and add...
