Have you been moving the plant around in relation to the light? Sometimes you can get some oddball phenotypes if you change the plants orientation to the bulb. Most common effect I call the swirlies as the leaves swivel to try to stay facing the light. Good luck, BigSteve.

I would transplant her into a much smaller pot, eh? When seedlings first go into dirt the plant expends most of its energy building a rootball large enough to support the plant. The plant will continue this mostly below-grade growth until the roots reach the inside of the pot. Then the plant...

We usually try to have plants in their finishing pots while still in the veg room. As you still have a month to go I'd transplant asap. If you are using plastic pots you can slice off the bottom of the pot and set it into a larger pot. Good luck, BigSteve.

Danger Will Robertson. Drying/curing is a two part process. Drying removes moisture and curing evens out the moisture still in the product. Without curing we end up with soggy big buds and crispy small buds. More power to you if you have found a way to dry different size buds uniformly. Good...

Hard to tell from the pix but I'd guess milky. I've noticed in eyeballing tris that the darker the background you use to view them the more accurate a look you get. Spent years pulling off small sugar leaves and putting them upside down on a sheet of notebook paper while viewing with my 30X hand...

If drying temps get too high I think the problem is largely cosmetic in that you'll likely get crispy critters and end up with product that crumbles too easily. Most of us try to keep temps below 85 or so. Crispy product is more likely to shed tris (and quality) and is less desirable...

1) Fast dry -- My 400W bulb in my vegging room is suspended from a wire shelf rack so my shelf is between the ceiling and the bulb. I put a towel on the rack above the bulb and put my product in a large bowl on the towel. Has cut my fast dry time from 3 days to 2 days. Every 12 hours or so I...

I wish I did. Broke my camera and haven't fixed it. What you can do is go to ... https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/ and look the strain up. When at Attitude scroll down to the bottom of the page where the seed companies are listed. Click on G 13 Labs and find the pix there. Good luck, BigSteve.

When you say growing to support your own use that suggests you need a strain that is easy to clone. I would try Blueberry Gum #1 or #2 from g13 Labs. They are mostly indica and usually produce shorter bushier plants. You want bushy to provide more growing points that become cuttings for clones...

There is risk involved any time you transplant. If you feel comfortable moving them go ahead. With the tall toothpick plant be sure you support the stem while you move her. One method I've heard of but not tried for moving seedling like yours is to get a tall upside down clear water glass and...

You probably put them into dirt for the first time in a pot too large. It has a good shape now so leave it alone until the larger fans extend out over the rim of the pot. Then you can consider transplanting into a larger pot. Good luck, BigSteve.

Droopy leaves like that can result from too much or not enough water. Usually the latter. Before watering gently tip the pot to get and idea of how heavy the pot is. You can tell pretty easily when the pot is real light and you have to get them more H2O. Good luck, BigSteve.

Your suggestion would require a lot of unnecessary bulb clicks which you want to avoid. Nothing pops a bulb faster than twirling the timer with the ballast and bulb inline. It takes about 3 weeks for a flowering plant to revert to veg mode when you change the light schedule from 12/12 to a veg...

I tried cloning in a glass of water just to see what happened. Took 3 weeks for the first tiny taproot to appear. That's twice as long as my regular cloning set-up with dome, etc. Domes are less than $10 and are worth it. Good luck, BigSteve.

They need to be in smaller pots. Seedlings going into dirt spend most of their energy developing a rootball that is able to support the plant. By starting your gals in solo cups, for instance, roots will reach the inside of the pot much quicker. Not until the roots hit the container side will...

Our plants are able to convert light energy to another form of energy, via photosynthesis, that the plant is able to use. This energy is produced by organelles which are tiny structures found on the underside of larger, read fan, leaves. By removing the larger fans we are reducing the amount of...

I veg all my plants at 24/0 so you don't have to worry about shocking them. What you need to avoid is clicking the ballast/bulb on and off more than necessary. That's the quickest way to blow bulbs. Plug your timer into the wall, disconnect the ballast and use any electrical device (I suggest an...

What he said. Good luck, BigSteve.

Next month will be a decade for me on the forum. This site, along with my "bible" (MARIJUANA HORTICULTURE : THE INDOOR/OUTDOOR MEDICAL GROWER'S BIBLE by Jorge Cervantes) have saved my ass a zillion times. .I just wanted to say thanks for everyone who has taken the time over the years to help me...

Good info V.! Thanks!
