Due to unforeseen circumstances I'm going to have to harvest about a week earlier than the recommended 8 weeks of flowering. Is there anything I can do to speed up the maturing of the buds, even at the cost of mass? I'm nearing the end of week 4 of 12/12 and the buds are just starting to put on...

Its small and skinny because it was stunted and only recently made a recovery. Is it male?? Its been 14 days since lights were switched to 12/12.. its stretched a lot and is very lanky as u can see from the pics. Can't really see any pistils (yet?) and looks sorta like this: Can...

What dosage do you guys use for big bud for a soil medium? The bottle says: mix 5mL per litre into your nutrient solution. This will increase solution ppm by approximately 300. I've got the liquid version and have been watering my 3-4 week old plants twice a week with 2.5mL (half strength) of...

Due to space constraints I have opted for 4.5L (about 1.2 gallons) pots for my 6 plants under a 250w in my closet. My concerns are that if I veg them for too long they'll get too big for their pots and get rootbound halfway through flowering. So I want to be sure to veg them just long enough...

Decided to remove the ballast from my 250w MH lo-bay and put it a few metres away to reduce heat, letting me keep the light closer to my girls. Don't know much about electrical stuff but I read up on a few related articles and such, had a look inside the casing and more or less figured out what...

I woke up this morning to find that all five of my seedlings suddenly began to poke a root through the bottom of their jiffy pellets. The oldest ones are about 8 days from germination, the youngest only 4 days. I hadn't seen any roots come out on any of them before today but ALL 5 of them...

I want to avoid the online and ebay hydro shops like ozponics and all as the delivery will cost just as much as my purchases. I've called up a few local hardware shops and they all have no idea what mylar or panda film is.. Any Aus growers with any tips on where to find these?

Woke up today to find my 6 day old sprout had its stem and the underside of the leaves (top of leaves are green and good) turn purple! Strain is unknown, temps are 75-85 and humidity between 30 and 35%. Is this normal? Pics 1 and 2 show the seedling today, pic 3 is from 2 days ago when it was...

Both the stem and the underside of the leaves turned purple overnight. The seedling is 6 days old in a jiffy pellet. Temps are between 75-85, humidity 30-35%. Currently under about 180w of CFLs and a 250w MH but the latter is too far away to do any damage to the seedling. Pic 1: from 2 days ago...

Saw this plant food in my local garden shop. Considering using this as nutrients for my soil grow during the vegetating phase as it is affordable and easy to get. I've heard plenty bad things about miracle grow products so I've been staying away from them. How does this one look? Anyone with any...

These pics should clarify. My two seedlings sprouted 5 and 6 days ago, both with shells still attached. The taller is an inch tall, the other is 2/3 inches tall. They've been on 24/0 under two 65w CFLs about an inch away, and are in jiffy pellets inside a box with the top covered in cling wrap...

I'm currently using a 250W MH lamp in a 400W Ablite Lobay to veg and I'm looking to switch to a 250W HPS soon. Will it work? I've opted for the lower wattage due to ventilation constraints in my small grow space.

Anyone with any experience with using peat potting soil as a growing medium? How does peat help the plant (if at all) and is it bad for them in any way?

First grower here, my first seedling has sprouted above its soil as of 60 hours after planting. Soil: Pot n Peat potting mix Temp: 75-80F Humidity: 30-40% Light: 24/0, 2x 65W 6400K CFLs Can anyone comment on whether this is a normal looking sprout or not? It appears to come up about 2mm and...

I germinated about 12 seeds using the cup of water method and only four successfully germinated as of day 4 in water now. The rest have swelled up considerably but haven't cracked open in any way. What are my chances that at least some of the rest will germinate successfully now? Should I...

Sup all Been following a few journals here, seen some great stuff and giving it a go myself now. This isn't anything big, will be happy to get any decent amount of smokeable bud for my efforts and the little spending I've done. Germination Stuck 15 seeds in between wet paper towels with no...

Hey all Finally got started on that closet grow I planned a while back, waiting on 4 seedlings to pop up out of their 7oz cups in regular potting mix under 2 x 65W 6500K CFLs, will be putting up a 250w MH up soon for vegging. Problem: I've got one fan blowing cooler air into the grow box to...

Hey all. I've been on these forums for about a week after deciding to plan a small, budget indoor CFL grow (will post it in the grow journal sections of course!) with maybe 2-3 plants, probably in a homemade cardboard grow box. Looking to get any beginners advice I can get. Not going for max...
