    MHM, what do you feel about growing in 2-liter soda bottles? They have depth and you can stacking them side by side to get more under your light. Your and everyone elses advice is always appreciated. Happy Holidays, I know I'm having some great ones with my first batch.

    You told Gutterman you thought he harvested early because the buds are covered with pistols. What exactly are you looking for? and what should they look like? I'm 2 weeks out and I'm wondering if I should prolong it a little while longer.

    Best strain on Nirvana Seeds?

    I ordered from Nirvana, 10 seed packs of PPP, WW and NLxBigBud each. Got'em in under 2 weeks in a really cool stealth parcel. The WW are great and the NLxBB are average. The PPP however produced a lot of males, I got 7 of 10. So, from reading this thread it seems that Nirvana is middle of the...

    MHM, can you please explain to me your sweat and cure process. I'm on the cusp of my first harvest and want to make the best of this batch. I've read that the sugars are still processing in the plant days or weeks after it's been cut and hung to dry. And all this affects flavor. So, can you...

    Nirvana's Papaya 400w MH grow.

    You guys keep talking about this Papaya plant .. I'm going to have to grab a pack of those seeds. But question is about your lighting. Are you not worried about fluffy buds? Isn't there anything you can do to give your ladies some red spectrumlight during flowering? Makes the buds more dense...

    Here's a link to the Washington Post stating that recent research found that marijuana doesn't not cause cancer as previous believe: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/25/AR2006052501729_pf.html. But I sure you can find 2 articles saying that it does cause cancer for...

    Yep, I've been feeding them heavy. I will cut back from 5 teaspoons to 3. And no, I have not flushed all yet. I was planning on waiting until 2 weeks before harvest. But since I'm using organic nutes, can I cut the final flush time to a week. And for good measure, I'll raise the light further...

    Questions for the Guru of Ganja or the Wizard of Weed .. alright, I know .. enough. The top of my widow cola is starting to turn redish in color, but the rest of the plant is staying white as snow. From what I've read, the redish color means it is maturing .. but will the top of the cola...

    Is it possible to HARVEST and then RE-GROW

    Good news with your crop bro. How many inches did you leave sticking out of the ground or did you leave the whole trunk? And you jumped right back into 24/7 after you harvested? Did you re-pot right away? I want info because I'll be in your situation in a month or so. And my widow is a beaut.

    First off, thanks for all the great info. It's nice having a vet in your corner. I got two ladies, initially took some clones and then proceeded to torture and kill them :dunce: Newbie mistake. Can I harvest, leave some trunk and jump right back into veg for another round?

    2 weeks into flowering PICS

    Looking good, I'm 2 weeks in as well. I'm still new but the advice I can give is to increase your lighting. Besides that, looking great.

    Is it possible to HARVEST and then RE-GROW

    Thanks again man139, widow and rot. I hate you just said to save fan leaves. I've been clipping them to direct more energy to the nuggs. I've heard both arguments to leave them or cut them. I'll will cease clipping fan leaves and when I harvest (cross your fingers) I will leave as much...

    Is it possible to HARVEST and then RE-GROW

    Thx guys for the input. But just a little more info. Man139, 24 hrs of light? I prefer 18/6, but is 24 hrs needed? Hellraizer, I totally un derstand I'd have to re-pot. Should I give it strictly water?, keep with the nutes? cut the stem I certain way? I just want to keep this gift .. giving.

    Is it possible to HARVEST and then RE-GROW

    When and how to *top*

    Hey all, first time poster here. I'm 5-6 weeks into my 8 week veggie stage. I've heard a lot about topping, but don't know how or when to. I got four kids *hopefully girls* in 10" pots. They range from 9-12" right now. They are under a 400w MH. In 2 weeks I will start to flower. Now this is...

    Is mollases worth it during vegging?

    I agree with JaneDoe. Seedies don't need much food, just TLC. The bigger they get, the more nutes and molasses I'd use .. but I max out at 3 tbs of molasses per gallon along with whatev nutes you throwing in. So, yes I recommend molasses thru out the entire processes, both veggie and flower. Its...

    Is mollases worth it during vegging?

    I use 3 cap fulls of Fox Farm nutes and 3 tablespoons of Golding Farm molasses (3 good squeezes of the bottle) per gallon of water. I've noticed a large spike in growth during veggie time. My set is 4-10' pots, the kids range from 8-11". Experiment with one if you can. May the force be with you.
