    Before harvest

    mine was just a random seed so i have no idea genetics tbh. no huge nugs, just many little ones all over the place. She's hanging right now (full plant) drying out. If you don't mind me asking on this post, though its unrelated, I would like to hear your drying process. Ive been thinking: 1)...

    Before harvest

    i wasn't going for more nutes more buds. I had just read 600 veg, ~1000 flower, and the later into flower, the higher, up to around 1200. who knows where these people had been getting their info, because they were definitely wrong. my buds did not get that big, there are just so many colas. i...

    Before harvest

    damn, so these buds probably would have grown much bigger if i had kept it lower.. I'm assuming with it that high it had to cause problems for the plant during flower despite the beneficial microbes i was adding to fight root rot and help prevent lockouts.. damn i thought i was well versed...

    Before harvest

    honestly, I'm not sure. the conversation EC to TDS conversion factor says "NaCl (avg .5)". I have no idea what that means, this is a little over my head

    Before harvest

    well i expected the fan leaves to die from nitrogen deficiency, i suppose now that i think through that, the deficiency would affect sugar leaves as well and they would eventually die too, leaving the buds, which aren't concerned with nitrogen. However, for learning purposes, towards the end of...

    Before harvest

    I wasn't aware of that, so what your saying is that unless I'm smoking leaves i don't need to worry about nutes making the buds taste funny? are you sure? i find i difficult to believe that nutes don't find their way to the buds in some way, how would they grow? So in theory, there would have to...

    Before harvest

    well from what i read, the 36 hour dark period ensures that all of the remaining nutrients in the plant roots remain there since there hasn't been anymore light to fuel the plant's processes and therefore nutrient movement up the plant. As for the flush, i'm aware of the controversy, this is my...

    Before harvest

    Last question, I've trimmed off most of the dead fan leaves and left the sugar leaves. everything left is crispy and dry. is there a point to the plant getting light anymore? i doubt the leaves' chlorophyll or whatever are still working. do the buds use the light? i suppose its about time to do...

    Noobie question

    Here are some pictures. all of these leaves are almost crispy dry. I have already cut off majority of the dead fan and sugar leaves and plan to use them for some BHO. Imgs 1-5 don't do her much justice as they're taken with an iPhone 5, however Img6 is taken with an iPhone 6 a couple days...

    Noobie question

    So i've been running a 10 gal dwc with 400w MH for veg, and 400w HPS for flower, however for the passed few weeks i had changed it back to MH to test out some theories that i've read about regarding MH giving denser and tastier buds and what not. My question though.. i'm VERY late into flower...

    Before harvest

    I did harvest my smaller plant a while ago and didn't do the flush, it did have a notable taste, however i wouldn't exactly call it bad. just interesting, hard to explain. My larger plant, however, is still in flower, I'm waiting for first sighting of amber trychomes for harvest on her. almost...

    Before harvest

    This is my first time growing and i am running a 10 gal DWC with a 600w MH/HPS light (HPS at this moment since it's in flower, might change to MH here pretty soon in the last few weeks of flower. Heard rumors it can promote dense buds.) Back to the main subject though, I have read something...

    Making oils

    i would like to make the BHO, just so many negative comments on it. I think I'm going to try a run of each. The iso alcohol method seems simple enough, and as humboldt said, i will instead use ever clear. However, In regards to the plant material that goes into the extraction tube for the BHO...

    Making oils

    So while I've been putting my couple of my plants through flower, I have also been keeping all of my clippings and fan leaves. There are a good number that i noticed have a shimmer, or what i assume to be trychomes starting to grow on them. I also have kept all of the small buds that i cut off...

    Lighting question

    So i have a couple of plants in flower, only a few weeks in. I used 600w MH for veg, and am currently using 600w HPS for flower. I have read some things about changing the lighting from HPS back to MH towards the end of flower in the last few weeks to promote denser buds. The logic is use HPS to...

    Gendering please help

    okay so I'm concluding that it's a male. on the top of a lot of the colas theres groupings of the "balls" starting to form that i didn't look at before.. gonna chop him down tomorrow. My question now is: Since it is a male, am i right in assuming that he's useless. I can't even make oil out of...

    Gendering please help

    Okay guys so i'm running a 10 gal DWC hydro system. I have a couple different types of bud growing, a few auto flowering and a couple that i just started from a seed i found in my bud. I know the auto flowers are female, however i cannot tell on this individual. These are a few shots. I'm...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    I'm also a new member and not an expert, but would it not be better to wait after the full 48 hours? you want most of the molasses to have been consumed so you're not putting it into your system. Also if i remember the original post, he noted that the brew would be most diverse after this time...

    Mixing nutrients?

    okay... there's a pretty good chance i have a mix. I don't know which of my 5 plants are auto flower and which are not. how much problem will this cause me? 2-3 of them are likely auto flowering, I just got my seeds mixed up in the beginning (amateur mistake i know, not claiming to be an...
