That is an aphid (the orange one). The other is def not an insect; It's some kind of arachnid; maybe a spider mite, but not the red ones that many fear (looks like a spruce mite actually -- do you live near a bunch of conifer trees?)

Well, I'll take the "flower power dirt growing.." part as a major compliment!

Those are just some funky calyxes -- notice how they all have twin pistils coming out just like any fem flower? Sounds like those are in late flower? Last year, I had some weird growth sorta like that in the last couple weeks.

I'm with you; been gardening with chloramine water for decades before I knew what it was; never seen any effect. The chloramine water vs myco and soil bacteria thing has been studied. There's a minor suppression of activity that is resumed within hours. So yes, there's an effect but, no, it...

Yeah, isn't it?! That's why I took pic's focused on the seeded buds. Everybody does shots of big sinse colas; thought I'd mix it up a bit and show my little breeders. Assuming all goes well to the finish, I'd say somewhere about 3 zips. Bubblelicious gets really dense, fat calyxes (usually...

A few shots of the buds I seeded. And a shot of the group, tho not much has changed in a couple days. These seeds are going to be huge. I suppose when the plant just has a few to grow out, it puts a lot more into them than if the whole plant were seeded. I doubt I ever let any plant I really...

Fantastic looking plants, man. Bubblelicious puts out some fat, sticky calyxes, no? Like I said in the 400W club deal, I got my seeds from BDS, too (first seeds I'd bought). This year, I went with Nirvana (superskunk) cuz BDS prices don't make any sense. Your plants look more "indica" to me...

Yeah, it's all fast-growing pulp wood shit. The western material is coastal douglas fir, I believe, and the trees are cut at much older ages.... so far.

Nice plants, but no one will see them hiding here in this thread. You can start a new one in any forum (New Thread tab). Check out the seed tutorial under Advanced Cultivation -- it works great - I bred mine that way. And it will spare you the risk of releasing pollen inside your house and...

Just to be clear, I put them in the window after the HID has been running at full strength for awhile, and I put them back before daylight fades, so the plants never "see" a change in light intensity. I'm pretty sure there's more lumens outside than under a 400W. When I put my meter in the...

Yes -- do not use pH ups/downs to adjust the soil. Yes -- pH ups/downs are fine for water, nutes.

Nice rundown on the strain - I'm growing the bubblelicious from BDS (which, aren't they just re-selling Nirvana beans? Looks like they hijacked the strain descriptions verbatim.. some even have "Nirvana" in the description. I also see now that BDS lists it as Bubblelicious [bubble gum] like...

Don't worry about it. Long before seedless weed, virtually all weed was seeded to the nines, not just one here and there. And we still had great weed. In fact, I was cleaning out a drawer last night and found a little corner of pure landrace Thai I bought two years ago. That shit was very seedy...

Nice looking plant; I want to grow some Aurora too. That screen is bomb.. you just had that hanging around? One little tip: the Foxfarms literature says to go Tiger Bloom when you go 12/12. Don't do it, man... don't do it. When you go to 12/12, your plants need more nitrogen than at any point...

I don't know anything about bubbleponics, but don't you need a lot more besides basic NPK fert in there? I dunno.. I'm just a soil guy.. Outside of that, that claw look is the classic sign of feeding a high P food during stretch, when N is actually the nutrient in greatest demand. If you're...

As others said, chloramine does not de-gas. Chloramine has been in use since the early 1900's and has never been shown to have an adverse effect on plants. It will kill some weaker members of the soil bacterial colony, but they recover fast, as in minutes or hours. Maybe the worst thing about...

I wouldn't worry about it, just enjoy it! Keep your eye on the trichomes, and watch the calyx swell. The last part will go thru phases, the last one right in the final week or two. There's a lot of variability in MJ. My girl is a 9-11 week strain right at 5 weeks. She's been rolling everything...

Yah... das boot!

Cool, probably closer to 1 than 3, but hey, an oz lasts me forever and you'll see.. your own weed will be 2x as good as anything on the street. I've done the HPS up top / cfls-down-low thing. It does make a difference if you keep it on the same branch(es) throughout, but otherwise not. A...

I use TB to top off my car battery - works great. Wow -- didn't know that about the Foxfarm in South Carolina thing. My aunt lives there ... it's an "anything goes" place as far as what industry can do. No standards whatsoever. That's why they all want to be there. That and $8 hr labor with no...
