It is necessary to have a female plant to flower smokable bud, so feminized seeds not necessarily required.. however, using feminized seeds dramatically cuts your chances of getting males , which as stated above is really lame and they are completely worthless and annoying so yea buy yourself...

sounds like an OK ppm but really if you are looking to maximize it depends on a host of factors.. transpiration rate, total plant mass, humidity, PH, light intensity and spectrum.. etc for instance if humidity even changes by 10%, then the same percentage change in ppm (plus or minus) can harm a...

hehe.. ya dude, no substitute for a microscope.. need one to properly tell harvest window (timing).. if you use other qualitative methods (not suggested) and mark a date on the calendar when you will cut them down, then just know that you should begin the FLUSH at least 7 days before the harvest...

ditto.. its fine if you want to go 12/12 immediately.. but ya letting them have full veg cycle at slightly reduced levels for at least a week will root faster increasing final yield.. also depends on how many nodes the clone starts out with.. greater number of nodes will force faster rooting and...

haha, love this thread.. ya wal-mart has become the home growers/stoners outlet of the new millenia.. I love it.. cheap marijuana supplies from China! haha Funny, last time I went in to wal-mart asking if they have 400W HPS bulbs the 20 year old dude I was talking to made a small smirk and was...

ya vaporizers are nice for getting the least amount of *$#@! in your lungs BUT you can try this crazy idea (got from a friend - not sure if it even works) --> he said he has taken the harvested plant and turned it upside down then with a rubber glove in his other hand rolling the grip down from...

oh good, was gonna say.. u basically $^*&! out of luck when the power goes out for that long but if it happens again as a very crude disaster-control option you can take the cubes out of the dwc tray spray a large zip lock bag on all sides with the water/nute mix you using and wrap it around the...

yea dude, I was gonna say... yellow top leaves from seedling sounds like low Nitrogen to me especially in a hydro setup where you seem to have all other metrics in acceptable ranges (including temps).. just a quick note though, dont immediately try to correct by going straight to a 3:2:1 ratio...

Whoops, sorry for the late reply.. didnt show in my reply list... 'flushing' is as simple as just flooding the root zone with pure water (no nutrients) for a period of time. This time being the amount of time it takes for the plant to completely work its way through all of its existing...

yepper.. start counting the number of days in flower cycle at the exact moment you can possibly determine the sex of the plant. small extra bonus tip --> if you begin to see that the cloudy trichome count is exceeding the number of clear trichomes that means your peak harvest window is quickly...

looking good dude! a few tips for u.. water them less frequently than you would think.. I water my White Widows about every fourth day and that seems to do well with soil grows.. when you water, soak ALL of the soil completely and then allow all of the soil to go dry again before watering again...

Yea, all good points 'AL' .. perfecto, since you just put them on 12/12 I would consider trimming the bottom leaves off of the plant (ONLY if those areas are not getting much light) because the less bud-less mass is on the plant which does not aid in the production of sugars, the greater amount...

yepper.. THC begins to degrade after peak of the harvest window.. the harvest window (usually 1 week span of time) will be apparent once trichomes go about 70% cloudy, 20% amber, 10% clear.. at least, that is how I like MY bud, but different people like different kind of highs.. really the only...

Hehehe.. NICE Hobbes.. :P Emerl56 .. even though you cannot tell the exact strain (not to mention there are thousands of varieties abound), the only point I think that is significant is what the THC yield winds up to be after harvesting the best possible (most healthy) plant of the strain in...

Home Depot or Lowes ('Garden Center's) --> MiracleGro 'Shake N Feed'... they are just little green pellets you can sprinkle into the dirt over the roots and each time you water the nutrients will move down through the soil over time (will feed for 3 months after sprinkling only 10-15 pellets)...

It is 5/31 so it is the end of the 3rd week and this strain from 420-seeds.com is really something else! 100% germination and very healthy seedlings and now they are vegging into very good looking plants. Since the soil plants are only going to be used for harvesting cuttings, I have topped them...

It is 5/24 and all four plants are thriving at the end of the second week (pics below). The hydros were given a fresh Metal Halide bulb and the growth has started to pick up the pace. The hydros are now on 1:1:1 NPK ratio solution. The soil plants were transplanted into a larger container. There...

dude, I would wait until you reach at least week 4 or 5 before you switch to 12/12... usually you get a better female ratios and general yield if you wait for the plants to show pre-flowers before setting the flowering light schedule.

also, instead of a march which usually suffers from no-shows.. maybe anyone who involved and own stocks could sell all their stock on that day.. imagine if every American pot smoker on 4/20/10 sold all their stock, I wonder how big an effect it could have on the market.. if it caused a mini...

yeap.. those babies need more LIGHT! the weight of the leaves is too great for the integrity of the stem, because the stems are too long, because they are reaching for light, because the light intensity is too low.. Increase light intensity by upping the wattage provided.. for now, you can use...
