    48 hours of darkness b4 harvest

    Evolution of science? In the world of cannabis producers? Self made experts are not necessarily scientists. Not without peers they aren't. Without the greed that revolves around about $200 per ounce of legalized product, there would not be so many experts and so much mud...

    48 hours of darkness b4 harvest

    I have been doing it for years at 36 hours. I got the idea from Ed Rosenthals' book. I cant say for sure it makes an obvious difference in Sativa dominant strains. But it does not hurt. Ha

    When to chop?? With trich pics

    I am on a seed to harvest grow with SLH. It is from feminized seeds. These are in the middle of week 8. No ambers yet to speak of. Almost all trichomes are cloudy. The smoke is incredible and I am doing a bud now for a test as we speak. I have been feeding only tap water...

    All Tips Drying Up

    If PH is under 7.0- then they look low on nitrogen. I would do a soil test for Nitro, Phosphorus and Potassium. They look too low on nitro to me........ but I would stay with them. Those buds still have a lot of potential..........

    Is ILGM good, their seeds' genetics are stable?

    I am in a grow from 10 ILGM seeds (super lemon haze). They all germinated in a glass of H2O for me and 8 of them sprouted above the surface of soil and established as nice plants. They are the 1st seeds I ever bought over the internet and they seemed to have a good rep. from what I...

    Seed to harvest- 1st grow from seed in years

    8th week (mid-week)- Buds continue to swell and become more fragrant. Not a powerful smell but a subtle sweet, sativa smell with a little lemon. I continue to feed them just plain tap water and all plants show yellowing leaves now. Trichomes are over 90 percent milky. More...

    help me decide

    Thank you very much! I just shortened the quote to make the post smaller but I sure got your message. I do not doubt you about Darwin and the concept of intelligent roots with "brains" that remember . Your points are well taken. I now need to finish...

    help me decide

    I grow sativa dominant strains. And actually like the clay pots (believe it or dont). I start seedlings in the small pots. then repot 2x until they are ready to put under later veg and early bloom lights. At about midway into veg I then do my last repot- into 3 gallon black cloth...

    Electric costs

    Under a 600 watt HPS bulb in the middle of the winter in an unheated basement, I can maintain 80 degrees F in a 4x2x5ft. box. When the light is on. Two of those boxes with the doors open help me heat my whole house. (it is a small house). Point being: Those HIDs throw a lot...

    Is this ready to chop?

    It is a tough call on a new strain. i dont like over about 10 percent ambers either and mine are similar to yours. I am waiting now for more ambers and they now look about 90 percent "milky". I have 2 buds drying for test purposes now- it is all good but we want the "best" which...

    Help do I have thrips

    There are tradeoffs, ha. I keep my humidity low so I dont use a humidifier. It ranges from 35 to 45 percent. I may suffer some for it but I also have no thrips since I started using a low air flow. My temp gets to 60 F under lights out. My soil surface gets dry once a day. And...

    Help do I have thrips

    Good point- you need those leaves on the young plant. Just check the leaves. If the adults are there then you can see them but they will be very small. Like not larger than 1/16 inch long.......and they skin off the surface tissue of the leaf tops. Usually tender, new growth...

    Help do I have thrips

    Yep- I think that is best for the thrip thing............. with no thrips found, there will be no more new damage............ if just one or 2 leaves are infested, then you can pinch those leaves also if you can spare them.......

    Help do I have thrips

    No sir, I would not since I think it to be more important to be able to see the pest itself than to spray for peace of mind. I would take the energy and time of spraying and use it to monitor (look for) for the live thrips on the leaf surfaces - spraying can also be a small stress on the...

    Help do I have thrips

    Thrips for me seem to come and go. They are susceptable to low humidity and air flow. If I can not see any signs of live thrips- then they may have gone. I look for the thrips themselves, under a magnifying glass on the tops of the leaves. not past signs of feeding gone by. They are...
