    Cutting the stalk? Curious observations!!

    Umm I just lopped the top off in early to mid flower. I didn't do it in any specific place, and when it tried to keep growing I would lop it off again. I didn't get two tops in it's place, I suppose the branches tried to be the new tops. Apparently, this is a very forgiving strategy for...

    Cutting the stalk? Curious observations!!

    Ok.. so I just yesterday finished helping SWIM with his first harvest. It was three plants of some BC in hydro, GH 3 part, under 400 W HPS in limited vertical space. Here's the thing.. earlier on in flowering when the plant was stretching, SWIM noticed that it was growing too close to the...

    Drying buds in a dessicator?

    Dri rite is a dessicant. It comes in granules. It is absorbent to moisture in the air, and the blue granules kinda turn pink when they absorb moisture. You can't leave it out because it will all turn pink, but in a sealed container it basically sucks the moisture out of anything near it. So...

    any guesses on harvest amount for this??

    I'd go 2.7-3.7 lbs. That's assuming 2.5-3.5 oz. per plant on average.

    Drying buds in a dessicator?

    Hey what do you guys think about hanging your buds in a sealed container above a bunch of dry rite? I've been hearing that it's not good if your buds dry too quickly. I know that heating is bad, but is just drying out too quickly bad also? Why?

    Nute burn and deficiency at same time?!?

    Yeah I addressed that in the first post. I don't believe that it's overwatering. I used to have 4 x 15 min. a day. For the last week i've been on 3x, and the yellowing of the leaves is still progressing. Unless that is still too much, then I need to know what else it could be. There is...

    Nute burn and deficiency at same time?!?

    Yeah I am in hydro. Also I am getting a white residue of some kind on the top of my hydroton.. and I was wondering if that was normal?

    Nute burn and deficiency at same time?!?

    Ok, so my plants are all showing signs of nute burn. Two out of three of them are also having the bottom leaves go from green to pale yellow, kinda splotchy but not intraveinal. These leaves then dry up and die. I'm using the GH feed schedule and they are baggers from decent beasters. So how...

    Flowering despite 18/6

    From what i've now read, I agree and believe that they are preflowers. Sorry guys I don't have a camera. Of the three plants, two have two pairs of white hairs at the top internode, one has two pairs of hairs at the top node and also the next node down. 3 OUT OF 3 FEMALES!!!

    Flowering despite 18/6

    In that case what do I do with them... I want to keep them in veg so I can put 4 new seedlings in my system ( i have limited space ). Now they have begun to flower. Will they flower poorly if I don't switch over the nutes/light at this point? Or will the flowering just be slower and more...

    Flowering despite 18/6

    Ok, so i've got these 3 babies that have recently been transplanted from soil to hydro.. they've had a rough life so far with a period of nutrient lockout due to overheating. they've pretty much recovered, but there is some curling and some of the new growth at the tops appears deformed. they...

    Soil to Hydro Transplant

    Yeah, one week after transplant looking good. Starting to show some nitrogen deficiencies on the lower foiliage i've up'ed the nutes for now but I figure I will have to bring them back down once i get the young ones in there. Due to space considerations I can only have the one system.

    Plant growth stages

    Ok I guess this question is for people who have done the GH feed schedule... Each of these 8 stages of growth calls for different nutrient mixtures. So how do I determine when to replace each nutrient mix with a stronger one?

    Plant growth stages

    Ok, so i'm planning on using the General Hydroponics Keep it Simple Recirculating Program with my ebb and flow system. For my feed schedule, I'm wondering about the average time each one of these stages will last... 1. Seedling 2. Mild Growth 3. Growth 4. Aggressive Growth 5. Transition...

    Soil to Hydro Transplant

    Ok, so i've just finished building my ebb and flow system. I have white widow seeds germinating. Here's where I get hung up.. I have three plants of beasters in soil that are five weeks old, from bagseed. They are looking well but I am tired of watering them. I have heard that most plants...

    once germinated, light or no light?????

    I believe that there is some contention here on the issue: The 18/6 light cycle supposedly has a higher chance of hermaphrodism. The 24/0 cycle is best for growth but doesn't get a "cooling off" period so the heat stress can lead to hermaphrodites, not neccessarily the light. Each one seems...

    What strain is right for me?

    Nobody cares, apparently. Must be a newb ?.

    Cutting Circles - Wood, Rubbermaid, metal

    I have a plastic growcab and I managed to cut perfect circles for it without expensive tools. I needed 4" holes for my ventilation ducts, so I took a 4" duct adapter and put it on the stove for a minute. I then pressed the hot 4" side into the plastic and it melted a perfect circular groove in...
