    Indica vs Sativa Trichome development and readiness

    I have done some reading and found that some people argue that Indica's trichomes don't necessarily go amber like sativa's do.... In other words the standard clear, milky, amber trichome progression is not applicable to inidica. anyone agree or disagree?

    Thinking about getting a vacuum sealer... wondering if it will help with the cure at all...or more specifically, how it affects the cure... Once mold is not a factor...I'd assume it would be helpful, no?

    Optimal setup of light per s/f....

    Everyone says get the light at close as possible without actually burning... problem is as you get closer, you lose coverage (light reach).... So the question is, what is the optimal height to sufficiently cover a given space? say a 4x4 space with a 600w hps....

    Stretching during veg...

    It seems that most agree that properly placed CFL's (regardless of their kelvin rating) will not only prevent stretching, but it will cause much smaller gaps between each internode..... My question is this..... Forget for a moment that HPS generates a great deal of heat. If one...
