Misting and going dark is a poor idea, you might be getting away with it now, but eventually a single microscopic spore will find its way into your grow, either from your shoes, clothes or just float in on the breaze, This KILLERS name is Fungus Botrytis, It is all over the world you breath it constantly. you have just been fortunate. that it has not found it's way into your grow and taken hold, you won't get rid of it without hardcore fungucide. Folliar feeding isn't all that is made out to be in the pot culture mist in the evening,,,, mold. Mist when lights are on, light burn. It is the most direct way to overdose your plants. and actually prevent flowers from forming at the node sites when you accidently mist them. just saying .......You might be the reason why no pistils are growing on your flowers, you could be frying them before they form, or it could be what I mentioned above in post #17, everything to do with growing pot is strain specific, and often times that varies plant to plant.

Probably I'm not the only grower that disagrees with foliar feeding marijuana, just not worth the risk, especially for the inexperience pot farmer.

tell me more.. I have constant air from outside being pumped into my room 24/7. Do I really need to be scrubbing that incoming air, would that even work? Not using co2 obviously.
 
well i would get 60X-100X microscope hand held, u can get it at radio shack for like 12 bucks or close to it. and look on the leaf for trichomas and on the bud for them, and see if u find them. and with that hps cool tube, is it a digital for magnetic ballast, because i would get either conversion bulb or mh bulb if u have digital ballast and run that for a few days because that helps resin, and trichomas :) i personally run MH 2 weeks into flower and then after that i run 5 days HPS and then 2 days MH and then lst week i do 5 days MH and then 2 days HPS

EDIT you can always add CO2 to your grow, so amny methods, from burning, co2 tanks, and yeast as well
 
i have a scope but cant see alot of hairs their are hairs but small on not everywhere and its a magnetic ballast not sure what i can do to improve them when should i start flushing and all:

Of course you (I) spray just before lights ON. It never ceases to amaze me regarding the BS answers you can find on RIU

Even with spraying just before lights on I had problems with the heat of the water evaporating damaging my plants, another reason i gave it up entirely.

As for BS answers that's because RIU isn't a text book with set answers, it's a community, people try and help each other. Big surprise, people are fallible.

Sorry to butt in but just thought Id throw my two cent in here, i make a point to keep the airflow into my enclosure soft as i can get it while maintaining a good temperature. I also avoid using an intake fan. With this set up i find less dust and any other bits of nastiness come in as they arn't really disturbed from where they have settled outside my intake.
In my own situation with the set up i have an intake fan is death.


P.S. 'RAWBUDZSKI' i love your sig mate, gave me a right laugh.lol

i would say wait and see what happens, but thats really a decision you have to make for yourself, consider the obvious:
do i need the space?
can i afford to write it off?
do i have any smoke to tied me over while i grow another plant?
can i afford the 'leccy?
 
u will be fine, get some dry ice and little water and set it behind your fan that blows on the plant, and it will get co2 and go to local hydro store and get a conversion bulb so u can run MH for 3 days and then 4 days hps to get those trichomas coming and u will do just fine give it 2 more weeks like that u should have some nice frost everywhere

MH produces more tricomas ( since it has more UV Rays ) then hps for the rest, since we want more tricomas we might as well add some of that spectrum in there. i mean u can also get a UVB bulb instead but might as well get MH for veg. but everyone has there own way. but MH has alot more UV rays than HPS.

So let me get this straight, and by no means do I want to step on any toes here, so forgive me if I do. Your saying it is better to flower with MH rather than HPS. Im no expert by no means but this goes against everything I have every been taught, seen or read. I kinda thought everyone knew to use MH for veg and HPS for flower. Maybe I have been researching the wrong information highway.
 
Yeah keep your plant going i was getting so pissed off at these dinafem seeds i was growing the Blue widow shark attack and White siberian they didnt have many trichs into week 6 then the next three weeks they covered themselves with trichs. Some strains have smaller trichs like the sativas but they are there and potent at that. Your plant looks healthy keep it going. If your giving them any high doses of Nitrogen that takes away from crystal production. I have a Liberty Haze plant i wanted to crystal up so i used the Humbolts own Snowstorm on them and it burned the piss out of my poor sativa they dont like much nutes but all strains and phenotypes are different. You could have two plants that are the same genetics but look completly different and flower completly different.
 
Ialan -- Pinch off a sample from the bottom and give it a smoke. If it's good then you can stop stressin and enjoy watching it finish. bongsmilie
