    Digital PH meters

    I was looking on Ebay at Pen type PH meters in the $20-$30 dollar range form china - either direct or via Australia. Does anyone have experience with these. It would be to replace PH test solution.

    If I really knew the end date, I could subtract days from it, but

    The dilemma I have is on two prior grows of Northern Lights my plants never produced many cloudy and very few amber trichromes. I followed advice to cut nutes 2 weeks prior. I used the published end of the range of days to maturity as my guide. My plants expired on timetable a bit after two...

    Lower buds turning purple

    I have started to harvest a couple of earlyish buds of my white widow. I'm eight and one half weeks into what was an anticipated window of 8-10 weeks. The plant has been under 8/16 for the last week and a half. The top buds look have appeared to change, albeit slowly, as expected. The bottom...

    Down to the wire - Advice needed

    I have a 1' x 2' hydro box with a 150 watt HID. I do have the radio shack scope. From what I have read, White willow should go 8-10 weeks and should be left in 0-8 hrs of light for the last 2 weeks. I have also read that the pistals should be 50-80% brown and that the most odor occurs near peak...

    Down to the wire - Advice needed

    I am on my 3rd grow. The first two were northern lights and were not very successful. I never had many cloudy or amber trichromes and the result was very very unpotent. I am now 8 weeks into 12/12 with a white willow plant. At least 80% of pistals are orange and trichromes a a mix of cloudy and...

    Do I have this right?

    I did not intentionally grow an auto-flower plant. The plant I intended to be my first mother is now also auto-flowering. I had switched from 24/0 to 18/6 so save money and just switched back, but the parent had also auto-flowered under 24/0. What to do? When can I take clones?

    showing male while still under 24/0?

    I topped a white widow plant in my small hydro setup so that other plants could catch up. The attached picture sure look like a male show sex. Can anyone please explain this?

    Grow Box - intake vent

    I purchased a turn-key system and I am now trying to build a DIY for a second. The purchased system has a plate for the intake that does not allow light to exit (and I assume to enter). I have not been able to find anything similar. The closest I found on the forums was an 8 in x 8 in vent for a...

    Near Maturity turning red

    I have a plant that is nearing maturity. I was advised to flush the plant for two weeks prior to taking it. I'm one week into that and my plant is turning red. Previously in it's life, I underfed it, it started to get red stems and veins. This is much more pronounced. Should I take any...

    done yet

    The plant is in the foreground. The one behind is bigger and well behind in maturing. Does maximum "fuzzyness" often differ from color of trichromes?

    done yet

    My plant is mature with brown stigmas but I have never seen any amber trichromes. I have been looking at the trichromes daily and they have mostly fallen off the top bud - but no amber. This is my first grow. Should I wait or take some action. Lower buds are only some brown stigmas. The...

    Flushing

    I have two plants in a DWC setup. One plant is getting close and the other is probably two weeks behind. Should I flush prior to taking the first plant? If so, once I take the plant, should I add nutes back to the other?

    While waiting for amber trichromes

    I have two plants on my first grow. I have been checking the trichromes daily using the radio shack 60-100x scope. Some are clear and some are cloudy. The hairs have pretty much dried up on the top bud, so I thought I would see amber. While I had the scope out , I decided to look at some...

    So confused - stretching

    I appreciate all the input. I should have said earlier that I have a six site DWC so raising a plant is not an option. On the next grow, I will either rotate the light or the reservoir 180 degrees as needed to keep the height more uniform. I have read a bit here regarding lst. Does it apply...

    I used a 150w HPS in a 12 x 18 enclosure for both veg and flower.

    So confused - stretching

    I have two plants. Due to an asymmetrical light one plant was taller than the other. I started 12/12 seven weeks ago. The taller plant has continued to grow. I have continued to move the light up to accommodate it. The light has been 2-3" from the top of the tall plant. The smaller plant...

    Clone from clone???????

    My uncertainty is whether the small plant 7" (clone) still under fluorescent can survive having the top 3" cut off - leaving about 4" and 6 leaves. This will be for my second grow. I want my few plants to be the same height so that raising the light for the tallest does not have much of a...

    Clone from clone???????

    Can you clone from a small (but getting taller) clone leaving 6 or so leaves? It started larger and it outgrowing the others.

    How to care for clones you are not ready to use.

    First Grow. I have a few clones that have roots. I cut those out of the plastic holding the plugs and put the plugs into netpots with hydrokernals. My Deep Water System will be occupied for for several weeks. How do I care for my babies in the meantime?
