interruption of light cycle during veg shouldn't harm much. not ideal, but not really the problem it is during flowering, and then it's usually the interruption of the dark cycle that causes problems. Headie's right that the stress to yer bulb is more of a worry - yes I would manually shut it...

yeah pics 6 and 7 show bud rot - cut it out! and anything else that looks like it, an inch or two below where you see the last bit of it.

oh my, caterpillars, botrytis, powdery mildew, rippers, low temperatures, the list of impediments goes on and on! I hope that the people that read these posts and smoke weed, but don't grow it, take all the hassles that pot farming into consideration when they are buying outdoor weed and feeling...

depends on what I'm spraying. I just sprayed neem oil two days ago for a small pm outbreak on one plant. that plant, and others, have had mites, which I have been trying to ignore, but I couldn't leave the pm alone. it will be my last neem spray - I'm about halfway through flowering and I hated...

hey thanks curious2garden. I don't feel bad, actually I thought I was doing pretty good, hell, I'm doing great (in my own mind!) I just got reminded of my place on the totem pole when I read this thread hehehehe. so much to learn here, so humbling to see what people bring to the table here. It's...

1214 13 baby! hahahaha I feel like a 120lb weakling walking into gold's gym for the first time!

I like the concept of getting the plants closer to the sun. I also like the comical imagery of a floating cannabis garden... if you got caught though you could be facing obstruction of airspace! ok here are the cracks in the theory - first off it will be too damn windy. secondly, the higher up...

kind of a complex question if you want it to be. safe to say that inferior greenhouses produce inferior buds. cheap, plastic- covered hoop rows that are covered up for 12 hours a night make ideal environments for powdery mildew and botrytis. at the other end of the spectrum, there are super pimp...

take a look at yourself - I bet you do something that disappoints other people. their decision to smoke weed really shouldn't bother you - how they live their life, their behavior - that is what to pay attention to.

only way to find out is to do a side-by-side with the same strain, one fem, one reg. I have not done this but the fem seeds I've had all had an end product I couldn't find anything wrong with. I've used them when I wanted seeds but didn't have much money, instead of risking 2 males by buying 2...

yep you'll have to taker her inside. landrace sativas never stop growing - they even continue to grow after you harvest them. ok, I'm kidding, but they can quadruple their size when they flower from a small size

she looks close - real close. but I don't see any amber trichs in those shots - anyway well close enough to chop if it is threatened by rot. so the moldy stuff - if you can't bring yourself to junk it, I'd try to remove as much as you can before smoking it. there are a couple of ways - the oven...

damn Headie! you must be careful when doing battle with your partner - more than a few shows have had the plug pulled because of domestic situations. I have zero room to speak, my wife and I used to have spectacular fights and it's a miracle nobody ever called popo on us. probably because the...

you're better off cold and wet than warm and wet. Ive seen plants take weeks of cold rain and come out unscathed, but only because it stayed cool. I believe botrytis thrives at 55-70 when the humidity is high. if it got wet, then warm and overcast like you said, bummer. just keep a close eye -...

it's like this: the mold gets destroyed during the extraction. however, before the mold has been destroyed, it has already created mycotoxins that do not get filtered out. in fact, after the extraction they are now concentrated - stronger and more dangerous in theory at least. I don't know of...

I'm with Qwizoking on this one - botrytis is destroyed in the extraction process, but the mycotoxins created by mold are concentrated. it sucks but sometimes the best thing to do with moldy weed is to throw it away. you won't meet many outdoor growers who have never lost at least a little to mold.

yeah if yer in coco for veg you will want to feed some high nitrogen liquid nutes or add a little sumpthin sumpthin to the mix, like chicken shit, earthworm castings, or kakapo feather meal. just kidding about that last one! If I were down there I'd be using a lot of sheep shit to make teas with...
