    Week 4 blooming is retarded

    Certain strains can look like this in week 4. Based on the curves in your leaves, and the dark green color, it appears you may have too much nutes, in particuliar too much nitrogen. I would take one girl and flush it. Then wait 2 days to see if it starts flowering more than the others. I...

    I agree with dont use superthrive in flower. It gives the bud a very unique taste. It doesnt flush out either.

    simple single/two plant setup suggestions

    I have grown in my closet and there is no sharing allowed. If you grow good strains right, it will smell. Doesnt seem like a big deal, but it can get frustrating. You meet a chick who isnt 420 ok, or your mom comes over to visit, etc. Here is a link to very stealthy units...

    Late Bloomer?

    "Club Soda" and Seltzer water are the same thing. Unflavored carbonated water. Generally stuff you will find for sale has been artifically carbonated. Nothing wrong with this, just cheaper to do. They simulate naturally occuring "mineral water". This is Perrier. Water is forced up through...

    Granddaddy Purple/Pineapple Express Is this a late bloomer? Anyone grown this before?

    and I agree with you DC. IME sativas would burst in the first weeks but would do nothing but furr up in the last couple of weeks. Nice to know Indicas swell at the end. That would make logical sense. I am just looking for real confirmations on this particuliar strain. If you look at the leaf...

    Granddaddy Purple/Pineapple Express Is this a late bloomer? Anyone grown this before?

    They call it GDE in my area and about a year ago it became very popular. Granddaddy purp is a cross of purple urkle and big bud. This gives it higher yield with all of the punch. Pineapple express gives a higher yield, so the theory is this cross should give more weight while retaining the...

    Fungus gnats

    I used DE powder. I gave them a good soaking then sprinkled a layer of DE. Interestingly enough, when I watched them, they looked like they were dancing on the DE. Then they stopped moving. Any gnat that came into contact died. I am following a regiment I gleened thru other posts. The DE...

    Fungus gnats

    Does your plant absorb the DE powder? I read it is not biodegradable and is actually used as a potting medium for bonzai trees. I wonder if it will get sucked up the plant? If it is microscopic razor sharp can it cut roots if it gets down into the soil????

    Going away and can't water my plants!! Any suggestions?

    I agree with some guy. But he posted he didnt want to buy a pump. You can also turn your lights down to reduce the water loss.

    pH Question

    The soil pH is a measure of the active soil acidity or alkalinity based on a scale from 1 to 14. A simple explanation of soil pH is that it is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in the soil. The higher the concentration, the more acidic the soil is. On the pH scale, 1 is very acidic...

    pH Question

    Durrr. So much for getting stoned and posting in the forums! My apologies. Dave is correct. Hydrated lime and dolomite lime should not be used by most people. What I referred to as dolomite and hydrated lime is in fact a modified form of dolomite called "Garden Lime". I have attached a...

    pH Question

    um.....peat moss has a ph of 4.5-5.0 on average. It doesnt buffer. Dolomite does tho. It is ph7 nuetral and will raise ph if lower than 7. I only know this cuz I use a high peat soil and have to add hydrated lime to get the ph up before planting. Go to lowes and get hydrated lime if you...

    Going away and can't water my plants!! Any suggestions?

    easy and cheap. Use a milk gallon jug. Think needle poke a hole in the bottom. Fill it up, cap it, then poke a think needle hole in the top. Gravity will drip it out over 1-3 days depending on your hole. You can test it by filling it up and leave in your sink. Check after a few hours. If it...

    5th week of flowering leaves turning yellow

    mkay is correct. this looks very normal. A plant's job is to flower. It will sacrifice any leaf in that pursuit. 5th week is right on the edge. If its a 6 weeker, leave her alone. If its an 8 weeker, u could give it a shot of pure N. I have done this when N gets eaten up early. With long...
