    Cut a flower off my first grow to "test" =]

    I read all the warnings not to cut the plant during flowering but this plant is an animal. Its been flowering for about 10 weeks and prob has about 4-6 weeks left. Its a slower flowering sativa. I have been growing it in total for 16 weeks now (6 veg). So anyway the plant is already twice as...

    Hearing a lot of contradicting things, need some SOLID advice please.

    I see this on this forum as well as other forums. Some people say a plant can't be forced into flowering, other people say a plants stages of life are determined by the hours of light. So I started a grow 14 weeks ago, hoping somewhat that by now I'd only have 2-3 weeks left to harvest. I...

    6 weeks into flower can I "sample" my plant?

    I have one plant that has been flowering for 6 weeks. I vegged it for another 6. It actually looks like a wimpy plant though, it has flowers, but they aren't thick buds yet at all. All though theres lots of little tiny flowers all over the plant. Each flower has around 10-15 hairs, and the hairs...

    Can I use sugar alone instead of molasses? Or at least temporarily?

    I just got done reading about the importance of molasses in flowering and although I read about the potassium/magnesium (I think those were the 2 metals mentioned) helping growth a lot it seems the plants also processes the actual sugar too. I already ordered the molasses and have it coming...

    Best way to hang CFLs? I need a snakelight set up...

    Does anyone remember those "snakelights", they had a long thin bendable cord that would resume whatever shape you bent the light at? It is far too difficult rescrewing and retieing 7 bulbs everyday as my plant expands and grows higher. And I have about 10-15 random CFL burns all over the plant...

    Enough light for 1 plant or no?

    There are 4 - 2700 k, 2 -3500k, and 1 - 6500k. I have 2 clones on the right that are sharing light with the right cola of the female. The cola towards the back as 2 lights, the one in the front has 2, the one on the right shares 3 with the clones. The left cola shares residual light about 6...

    Has anyone ever successfully grew in a crawl space?

    The situation is this. Its not 100% my place as I share it with someone else. They said they were cool with me doing just one grow, but originally I had planned on growing 3 plants, and now I'm down to 1 female which was a huge let down. I have 2 clones coming from that female that I don't...

    Male or female or hermie?

    If these pictures aren't good enough I can't take any clearer ones. I took like 10 pictures and this was the clearest. I'm almost at 4 weeks in flowering with this one plant and still can't figure out what it is. All the other plants flowered within the first 2 weeks. This won't doesn't seem...

    Do more lights help a plant flower faster?

    I understand its suppose to nurture a denser bud growth, but I more or less wanted this last plant to flower before I start throwing extra lights in. I've been flowering for 3 1/2 weeks, and every other plant was done flowering about 2 weeks ago (done as in showed signs of sex and more light...

    My babies are getting so big!!! 12 Days into flowering though, no real buds yet =[

    I really am loving this hobby like no hobby I've ever had before. I have done EVERYTHING I could for these plants on my first grow, they have 2 sources of CO2, an ok amount of light and I'm throwing in an extra 150watt bulb tommorow, they get organic nutes from their soil and miracle grow twice...

    What the frig, is this emergency blanket mylar or not? This is driving me insane.

    I went to 4 places, Sears, K-Mart, Walmart, and NONE of them had the emergency blankets. Than I went to Sports Authority, and this crap doesn't even look like its made of mylar. It does say "certified space technology" on the box http://www.survival-gear.com/survival-blanket.htm But it also...

    More a question about my electric bill than growing...

    I'm not asking how much it will cost to use a certain amount of wattage. I already did those calculations with my bill, and it was around $60 a month. Its my brothers house, but he has one of those plans basically where the electric bill is not consistent from month to month, they are...

    Smell is getting out of control, I have an idea I'd like to try.

    edit: sorry guys I don't need help anymore. I was going to do an elaborate ventilation system to get the odor out but I figured out it will be much easier to just airseal the grow house completely, put a propane powered CO2 generator in there, and have a tiny fishtank airline tube going from...

    Wierd question, if I switch from flowering to veg will my buds continue to grow?

    I now have to kill a male (plant to the right), which sets me back a lot yeild wise. I can't clone a new plant and start flowering it from day 1, otherwise my yield is gonna drop from not being able to veg the clone long enough. Initially I was worried about space, now I'm not cause my biggest...

    Started flowering but I want to top 1 more plant & a ph question..

    I had to start flowering because after I added 3 more CFLs the plants literally jumped 4 inches in only **2 days**, which I found rather crazy. I would take a pic right now but they're sleeping lol. My question is this. I have 3 plants, I topped 1 only being worried it might not work great...

    Is this heat burn or nute burn or dehydration? Please advise..

    Quick background: I haven't fertilized my plants yet, however it is miracle grow soil, and has 3 month long acting fertilizer in it. The plants have been in this new soil for 8 days, only 1 plant is showing this problem however. This is ALSO the same plant I topped yesterday because I burnt...

    I want to top just 1 plants do I have enough room?

    Its 5 feet high, 32" wide, and 2 feet deep. I have 3 plants, and seedlings just encase I need to replace a male. But I'm only doing 3. I've been contemplating topping but am afraid the plant is going to branch out and take up the side 2 plants side space. But I was thinking even if that...

    I keep burning my leaves from the light do those leaves turn green again?

    I'm really bad with the lights. I try to get them as close as possible, but obviously I still leave about 2 inches. It seems these plants grow in random spurts. Like yesterday during their light cycle they only came up a fraction. Than at night they seemed to have spurted about a whole inch...

    In terms of dropping the cost of CO2 why not just use propane?

    I know those large tanks can cost quite a bit but if you do the math, a tank of propane is cheap. Those little blue cylinders only cost a few dollars, and from a chemistry stand point, every molecule of propane is combining with 5 molecules of oxygen to create 3 molecules of carbon dioxide (and...
