    Just Flushed- now what?

    A few weeks back I posted a thread (https://www.rollitup.org/t/what-mineral-is-deficient.914903/); the reply was that I was probably under feeding. I am growing in a Promix BX (General Purpose) medium in a 10 gallon cloth container; I was feeding with Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow 3-2-4 every...

    Ist Time Auto Flower

    No- all of my plants are female, I purge the males as soon as they show. I still have about 20 seeds from the last couple of years that I will be using in the near future. I have not tried to make seeds yet- maybe in the future. I purchased feminized seeds this year; the seed company threw in...

    Ist Time Auto Flower

    A quick post mortem on the first grow: The plants never grew large, both ended up around 1 1/2 foot tall. Combined yield between the two was only 10 grams (after stems removed), very little root development with the plants. Still, the buzz from both is pretty good though one might have gone a...

    Do they look fine ? First outdoor grow

    I agree with Greenpitking- consider transplanting to larger pot (at least 5 gallon, I use 10 gallon, some use up to 200 gallon but that might be too much for a first timer. Good luck & enjoy!

    What mineral is deficient?

    I have this problem with yellowing leaves every year- usually after flowering when I switch nutes but this year it started early. Conditions: Medium- Promix BX (General Purpose) Nute- Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow 3-2-4 Feeding Cycle: Every 2 weeks Soil pH: 6.5 (tested today) Plant Pictures...

    Cause for concern?

    I would try to keep as many leaves going as possible and only trim lower branches if the thick foliage was causing mold problems due to lack or air circulation. Popcorn growth should not inhibit bud/cola growth (at least in my experience)

    Plants are looking good. How can you tell at this early stage if they are male or female?

    New seedlings ready for outdoors and repotting help

    I found this topping "tutorial" on GrowWeedEasy.com- main tip: wait for the plant to grow past the sixth node, then cut back to the third node http://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets I just topped one plant will do another this week; since we are coming up on the solstice and...

    Cropping/Topping Question

    I've pulled the main tops apart, the plant is bushing out nicely. UNFORTUNATELY- I think I saw the beginnings of pollen sacs being formed on the plants when I was feeding it yesterday. I looked again today- maybe it is just new growth but I don't know (actually, I think I do know...) I started...

    Ist Time Auto Flower

    My three new autos all germinated last weekend & were doing well until this afternoon: we had a gully washer that beat the seedlings down pretty well. The next few days will be hot and sunny so hopefully they will quickly recover. I bought a cheap loupe from Amazon that promises a 100x...

    First Grow. Autos outside. Enough time?

    I'm nearby- as everyone above has said, your timing is fine. Be ready to sow & germinate as soon as you get the seeds to take advantage of longer days. I started in mid- March and was way to soon. I think anytime mid- April through end of June is fine to get started. I speak with many years...

    Ist Time Auto Flower

    Both autos are plumping up nicely. Comparing pics to three weeks back, both plants have about doubled in size & nice odor from both when squeezed. Packaging date suggests harvest around June 2, that might be a little soon. I will order a loupe (FINALLY) to watch the trichomes to make sure I hit...

    Cropping/Topping Question

    Ganja Gurl UR THE BEST!! I was not familiar with lst, fim, mainline, super crop, etc- so I did some additional research & found a great tutorial site (http://www.growweedeasy.com) that covers all of those techniques. I might be too late with my big indica but I have two other plants that are at...

    Ist Time Auto Flower

    My issue is with limited direct sunlight; I have been growing nearly a decade now and rain at harvest time was only an issue last year when it rained for 12 days straight- I should have moved the plants under cover sooner. I still ended up getting a half-decent quality and a decent yield. I...

    Cropping/Topping Question

    Not quite sure what you mean by "plan of attack"- my goal is to keep the plant from growing over 5 feet in height, not produce multiple colas (though I know that will be a result)

    Cropping/Topping Question

    I was planning on topping off my indica plant when it reached it's sixth node. Well, I had to go away for a few days and now the lady is at the eighth node and ready to keep growing. Is it too late to cut it back? If not, should I cut back to the third node (as I have read others do) or do I...
