shoot i say let it seed out and have a ton of blue mystic seeds for future use. never have to buy any again if you keep indoors.

That's a thought, maybe I will just chop 2 of them and let the other one seed out.. or maybe just take the top 2/3 of two and then when I am done seeding out I can re-veg.. hmmm choices..
Thanks..

If you let them seed out, clean your cab/room before you start your next grow. Pollen is a bitch to deal with and clean out. Also if it is because of a hermie, then most likely any beans from that plant won't be as stable as most, genetic wise. Could give it a go though and see what you do come out with, it's always nice to get a surprise diamond in the rough.

You know what Doob, my second grow hermied late and I chopped it. I cleaned the area but probably not as well as I should have, these girls may have been pollinated by some left over PPP spores. Maybe I will go back to the thought of chopping 2 and allowing one to seed out. Then I can clean the area out for the next grow (PPP/BM Hybrid?).

I just Purchased a grow tenT 2X2X6 and have some clones some in dirt some in Rockwool ..... I was wondering if you have to Remove all of the Rockwool before putting it into dirt, if so how do you do it without damaging the roots or do I just put it in the pot???!?!??!?!? PLEASE HELP

dont remove it from the rockwool, just stick half of the rockwool in the dirt make sure all the roots are covered by dirt

Yea bro. I wouldn't try removing the rockwool. I moved a plant from hydro to soil and kept everything with it. Net pots, hydroton, rockwool. The less u tamper with it the less stress it has to endure. Man its good to see the 250 thread bangin like its been, everyones plants lookn good

could u flower 3 plants well with a 250? i was gonna plump for a 400 but i'm only doing 3 plants at a time next grow. planning on throwing them into 12/12 about the 9 week mark will be in 5 gal pots

Well I guess we know what your next grow will be lol. Yeah you gotta bleach everything, it's really a pain in the ass lol. Hopefully you get some good genetics from that though, I guess we shall see.

You could but 2 would be better, the lumens would be split up better. If you do 2 or 3 make sure to keep the canopy low around the 3-4 ft mark, as a 250 doesn't have the greatest light penetration.

I have had good results with my setup, but it's much different than yours. I have a 250 HPS with supplemental lighting using CFLs. I made a PVC frame and have 12 CFL's (26 watt for veg and 23 watt for flowering) plus I hang 4 more where ever I need it. So.. 250 HPS + 368 CFL puts me over 600 watts..lol

thanks! i'll definitely look into a 250

(update) day 29 of 12/12 end of week 4, so far so good i see lil leave damege from root aphis on the alien white fire og, but the nematodes are halping. i just want to make it through harvest.

Play sand about 2 inches deep on the top of the soil, has always worked for me when it came to aphids/gnats.

Predatory nematodes work well too though.

i tried the sand thing and the aphis still rised to the top of the sand , so i just removed it , im doing that extrem composte tea ,azos and MYkos(from extreme gardening), with the nematodes works great the tea also has some living micro things that protect the roots ,Together Azos and Mykos Protect Without Chemicals, Dramatically

Some things work for some, the same things don't work for others. I'm almost wondering if it has to do with climate, predatory nematodes are all around good though.

Azos and Mykos also has goodies in it as well, very beneficial.

I am having trouble early on in my closet setup.....My bigger clone looks sad and is drooping after I transplanted, it has not been that long but my others have perked up a lot and look to be thriving already ..... Suggestions ?!?!?!?!?

just give her time man she will pull through

Is there anything I should be adding to my soil and perlite...... I am using just foxfarm potting soil 2/3 and 1/3 perlite and i have some Cal Carb that I am going to mix and spray on when my light goes off ...... Any Suggestions.... Thanks

that's bout all u can do bro. Maybe since the droopy one is the biggest maybe her roots were disturbed or something of that nature and and is just takin a while longer to recover. Was ur old soil wet when transplanted? I always use Superthrive when transplanting and I never have a plant stress now. Its some awesome stinkin shit

I love superthrive every time i smell it i think of the hydro store lol they use it religiously. i use it through the whole grow along with molasses and my plants love it and you dont have to use much i think its like 1/4 tsp per gallon lasts forever.
