Laced much?

Those that are best suited to the environment survive through natural selection... The fact that trichomes are a way to transport seed and pollen does not mean that they do not also help the plant harness light. There are probably more efficient ways for the plant to harness light, just as...

Natmoon- if it doesn't make sense, why do it? if the dark period actually is a good thing, there is an explanation somewhere. Also, it's kind of funny to me that 10 pages and 8 months later, we have arrived at pretty much the same overall conclusion as the second post.

So adding molasses before an end-of-harvest dark period wouldn't really matter because the plant would still need light to process the sugars it obtains from the molasses? That means the high levels of sugars from the molasses actually should be accompanied by a boost in light levels, not...

That said, what do you guys think of this idea? Giving a heavy dose of molasses towards the end of flowering would give the plant a decent supply of sugars to draw on for potent trich production, even in an extended absence of light (24-36 hour dark period before harvest). Therefore, the...

For clarification, here are the logical things I've gathered from reading through this thread (please tell me if I got something wrong): 1) Trichs serve primarily to aid the flowering process (do they increase light to leaves or help attract pollen? this doesn't matter, but i'd like to know.)...

I most definitely will. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the sympathy. Yea I'm really pretty happy with everything I've learned which should make things go smoothly next time. I've got some bangin' bagseed that I'll start germinating soon, so the new grow should start this weekend.

So today is a pretty big day. She has much more damage than she can deal with and even if she did get over it, growth would be extremely stunted. At this point, its not really worth continuing this grow, so I am sadly ending it. Being my very first attempt at growing, I'm not too upset with...

Haha I was just gonna say something. Flowering is looking very nice!

Wow she is insanely bushy. Looking great!

That is some funny looking shit. They look fine to me, might just be the strain, but then again I am a newb.

I'm all for it. I started my current plant not being too serious about it in a setup almost exactly like that (look at my grow journal). You can always make changes during the grow as you encounter new things. Give it a shot!

I just cut off the set of leaves that looked the worst so the plant can concentrate energy in other areas. Probably going to top her below the dead new growth tomorrow unless something convinces me otherwise.

Thanks pj. I cut off the really bad looking set of leaves and am still debating on whether or not to top her. I think i'm leaning towards doing it unless something on here convinces me otherwise.
