Chief...how much do you mean by 'a whole lot of weed'? LOL I'm reading lots on harvesting and curing now. I guess I just want clarification on what to trim off as waste, and what is usable. I don't want to throw out anything worth smoking! I also have no clue how to make hash, so I guess I...

Is it okay to give my girls molasses in every watering/feed that I do until harvest? They've just passed the 7 week point in flowering, and I figure they have another week or two left to go. I gave them their first taste of molasses in their thursday morning feeding, and they'll probably be...

Yeah, don't sweat a 400w light - its not going to use enough power to draw any attention to you. My garage has 6 regular bulbs that are 100w each...if I leave those on, that takes 600w just for those! Nobody is going to think anything of 400watts, so why bother with all the hassle of a battery...

Chief, do you harvest when you reach half amber hairs, or do you wait longer? Saw your Blue Mystic is doing well - mine is too finally. The four colas are responding nicely now, and I have another AK48 and a Short Rider that are keeping up with the BM. I'm trying to do some research on drying...

GREAT NEWS! I've never heard of Nirvana being anything but straight up, so I figured your stuff would show up soon for you. Times for shipping may have been slowed by the New Years holiday, and there may be fewer postal workers on the clock now that the Christmas package volume is done. As...

Can you tell how much time they have left by the closeup of the bud I posted? I still don't have better than a 5x magnifier - plus I've never grown before, so I don't have the experience to tell just by the 'look' of them. -Mandi

Nah, Nirvana is on the level. Just give it a few more days, and then email Alice and let her know you're still waiting two weeks from the listed ship date. -Mandi

Sure green - its the geek in me coming out. And I read a lot of Uncle Ben for weeks before my seeds arrived. -Mandi

Hey green... hope I can simplify for you to get the job done. Cotyledon is the term used for those first two tiny leaves that show when your seed sprouts. They don't have the serrated edges like the mature leaves will have. They usually shrink up and fall off when the plant is done with them...

Got some molasses to give the girls in a few hours when they get their feed on. Here is a closer pic (I hope) of part of a main cola bud. -Mandi

I'm using the flat side because those that say to paint walls white always specify FLAT white paint - don't know if the shiny side is as good but would likely be able to tell with a light meter test (which I'm not doin). YES, I have ordered twice from Nirvana and got my package in a week both...

I'm in! Been linking to Uncle Ben's threads of wisdom since I found him soon after joining. Any time I find a poster that asks about topping, I send them to read from Uncle Ben. I'm near the end of my first grow, and I learned tons from reading his stuff. I'm open to learning as much as I...

If you have a dollar store near you, check if they have thin white poster board. If so, get a sheet or two and cut it in panels to perfectly fit the inside walls of your grow box (grow speaker, LOL). One side of the board may be more shiny than the other, so you should put it with the flatter...

Been using distilled water for the whole grow... and will be getting some molasses probably in the next day or so for use when I water again Thursday morning. -Mandi

You mentioned you plan to top...here is the best thread you'll find on it. Uncle Ben really knows his stuff, and you'll learn all you need to know in the first page! https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html

Yes, a glass of water will raise humidity a little bit - but your current 60% is good enough anyway. The temperature of your grow box will affect that too. The higher the box temp, the lower the humidity - and it will go up for a while when you water the plant too. You don't really have to...

Meant to put this up yesterday...its a full pic of my girls - including their 'make it rain' platform. They're two days from finishing their 7th week of flower. I only have a 5x magnifying glass, so I don't think I will be able to tell trich colors with it. Need to try to find a CHEAP 30x...

Can you translate 1/2 mil into standard US measure...teaspoon, etc. I never did take to the metric measures, unless we're talking a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke. LOL -Mandi

Nobody gonna take a minute to inform me about the Molasses? I assume it supplies a nute of some sort, but what exactly? -Mandi

For only one plant, you should have enough light. I'm on my first grow, but I know from my own experience. With the 8 CFLs I used, I had 8 plants growing very nicely at one time. I also had 3 small T5 fixtures (very similar to what you have) for side fill lighting. Only two of the plants were...
