so i harvested my first grow 5 days ago, and the buds have been hanging upside down to dry now for 5 days. I checked them today and they passed the stem breaking test that i read about in other forums that said they are dry enough. (basically they said if the stem snaps easily its ready), Now im...

Awesome advise, thanks everyone!

Thanks! i guess my question now is how to you notice the switch from swell to ripen?

If You Knew What Strain it was It would Definitely help us figure out a good time to start flushing . I'm not sure exactly what strain it is, but i do know it is a full on sativa, no hybrid.

So i've read about flushing and my first batch i grew i didnt flush and it tasted like crap, so i want to make sure i do it right this time. I think i read enough on how much water to use and when to do it, but here's my question. How do you tell you are about 2 weeks from harvest? like what...

Thanks for all the feedback, i know they still have a while to go, ive just never seen a plant to then end before and dont wanna mess it up, so thanks again for all the advise and comments, i really appreciate it.

my girls are on week 6 of flowering with week 7 starting in 4 days. I was told and have read that they are ready to harvest when 80% of the hairs turn orange/red. As you can see in the pics some of the hairs have already started turning color, but the buds dont seem very big to me at all. The...

i know, hence "pre-flower"

thanks for all the input everyone, the plant is 3 months old and is about ready to go to 12/12 cycle, cant wait

I'm starting to see some small pre-flowers and i cant tell if they are male or female, they look male to me, but all the pics i see online dont really help. I tried the best i could to get some pics, let me know what you think. Thanks Much.

im on 18-6 at the moment

Hey Guys, Quick question. When i took my plants out of the grow room yesterday (for about 5 minutes) to clean up some soil i spilled, both of them started leaning over, the whole plant from the bottom, and the tops dramatically leaned downward. As soon as i put them back in the room after about...

go to a hardware store and buy a regular florescent tube hood lamp with 2 tubes in it and use one of those for every 2 plants you have. You can also buy little work lights that have clamps on them to use for side lighting. Just line the room your using with mylar or chrome wrapping paper and...

oh ya def male

Ya tap water but its filtered and left to sit for a week before using. i just checked the PH and one pot is 6.5 and the other is 6.4. And the problem I had the first time was the pots i was using were to small and choked the plant to death. So seems to be something else im guessing.
