i only have that rainforest setup and the two bubble clone bays that i use but yea i would have to say it all depends on the size of the bud you are trrying to dry here are a few i just picked today these will take about 3 days to dry although i am in a fairly dry area 40 % humidity but i generally just put em in a paper bag for like two weeks and they usually come out pretty nice that is like they dry in about 3 days sometimes and the rest of two weeks in bag is curing process (waiting for green to turn a gray color)

 

[doktorgreenthumb420]

i only kill leaves if they are like almost dead all the way cause i have seen em come back to life

 

[paperfetti]

man,those sure look tasty!..i cant wait till im able to get my taste test on.will update journal tomm. (AFTER FOOTBALL!)

 

[paperfetti]

new pics..had some problems,nothing major (nute lock) thy are back on there way (as confirmed with roseman of RIU),guess the reason why for not much more in height but very bushy

P.S. SEEDLING ARE STRETCHED,BUT IVE ADDED A LIGHT GOING DIRECTLY OVER SEEDLINGS (PIC 2)
I THOUGHT THAT THE XTRA LIGHT OVER SEEDLINGS WERE MAKING THE PHD WATER UNSTABLE,BUT I REMOVED THE LIGHT (WHICH CAUSED THE STRETCHING IN THE 1ST PLACE) AND PH'D WATER IS STILL UNSTABLE...I DONT GET IT..ANY HELP ON HOW TO CONTROL WILL BE APPRECIATED

 

[paperfetti]

Anybody have any thought on molasses or any other sweetner as far as does this stuff really work or is this just another mark up for newb growers to spend more money?..i got my bottle for free but was wondering is it worth the time..ive heard people say they use it every other watering so u wont get nasty gooey roots from using it every water..any help is appreciated

 

[peacemane420]

mollasses is fuckin amazing!!! definately use is. i used it like 3 times during vegging. but then when it started to flower i used it every other watering. really does wonders man! get some
2 TBSP per gallon =)

 

[paperfetti]

ok ill give it a shot,but i wont know the diff. as this is my 1st grow,but WTH?
DO YOU ADD TO YOUR NUTE WATER? OR STRAIGHT INTO PLANT TANK?

 

[peacemane420]

im a organic grower and i use soil. i dunno if you can add it to your nute water tho... hmmm well im sure you can give the plant a little bit of mollasses water and then a little bit of your nute water.
damn you should prolly ask some else who is more experienced in how your growing. i hope i helped =)

 

[doktorgreenthumb420]

hey whats up i dint have my internet for a min your plants look good tho bro in amount of time and everything i dont know much about molasses tho i have only heard stuff about it here is a pic of my plant that is in a bucket

 

[paperfetti]

wow look at the colas on those ladies..very nice
here are some pics as i dont know what to do bout the bushyness...1 plant is actually growing over my little one and blocking light..when will it be ok to start trimming lower leaves??

 

[doktorgreenthumb420]

hey whats up yea those are crowded a little huh i do trim lower leaves but i do it in like week 1 or 2 of bloom (after they stretch) but hmm here is a thought you could possiblly do what about a transplant to a bucket unit then bloom buckets and continue to veg some more in that bay they are in now ..... or yea just trim up lower first is what i do

oh are you veggin under that hps or the cfl lights ?

they are doin good

hey i just looked at your pics up close yea those are pretty crowded the roots are prolly very entwined and stuff so maybe a bucket transplant would be risky if you damage roots and hmm i think thhey are ready to bloom how tall are they exactly cause they will usually at least double in height within first 3 weeks of bloom

those do good tho and you are definetly doin good for a first grow

 

[paperfetti]

well the tallest 1 is approx. 8-9 inches tall..you think i can start flowering?..they will be a month old on the 1st of nov.

 

[K1Ng5p4d3]

if i was you, id top the plant in a couple places before i started flowerin bro. i mean, they already look bushy as shit so im not sure if u already did or not, but if you top them, not only will you have more than one main cola, but you will also be giving the plants time to strengthen up some more, while keeping the height down at the same time. So you could top each plant like twice, and give each plant some breathing room for a little bit, and then whenever the branches grow back, put a screen over top of the canopy right before flowering. Do a scrog with what you got goin on man - everything is so crowded anyways, your only gonna have the top half of the plants produce any typa decent buds, so why not maximize its potential?? top each plant 2-3 times each, and throw a screen like 5-6 inches above the topped plants. when the branches grow back they should be just startin to touch the screen, then hit them bitches hard with the hps. Once they start flowering, then youll see the real magic happen man. since you got some fem seeds, you wont have to worry about pickinout males n shit like that, so ScrOG is the best way to go for a crowded situation like yours man. BREAK OUT THE CHICKEN WIRE!!!

 

[paperfetti]

wow, im really gonna need a play by play on that because i heard of scrog,but have no idea on what it is..and i never topped them,just cut away dead material...thats it..so what do i use to hold a screen over the bubbler??..man,im feel im gonna get phucked on this cuz i wanted to start a small buisness with this grow but now i dont think im gonna get what i need to get rollin...2 plants are jock horror so still possibility of male (btwn the 2 jh)

 

[paperfetti]

Hmmm will this work?...cause i just came from my wack ass home depot and they didnt have anything in stock and dont know when there gettin anything!!...i hate that place

 

[GypsyBush]

Hmmm will this work?...

Everybody's got to start somewhere...lol...

You may need to clip off the sides so you have access to the plant, and run some string so the holes are no so big...

I am still laughing dude, I'm sorry... it's very creative... +rep...

Keep it up!!!
