    dark period before harvest?

    I too do not claim to be an authority on the subject either lol. From the info i read on sites like this and my own experience growing my finished product is better when I don't starve the plant of the things it needs. I do taper off my nutrients in the last week but never down to nothing. Some...

    dark period before harvest?

    I have done soil and coir grows and yes in my early days of growing without any real understanding about what was happening i flushed! and flushed hard! I believed this would rid the plant of the nutrients that make it taste bad. This seems to be what most people flush for thinking some how...

    dark period before harvest?

    Been looking at these 1000w de 400v lights but running in a tent heat and limited space keeps putting me off, I think i could run them from now till may next year with a cold air intake but in summer without running aircon i wouldn't stand a chance. Being in the UK stealth is a must. What you...

    dark period before harvest?

    What lights are you using and what plant? Only under 600w hid lights myself and growing cookies kush. Like I said this strain under that power of light struggles to cope with higher than 900ppm. Maybe if I was using 1000w lights I may be able to push that higher but not with this setup and these...

    3 week seedling

    Looking well pal, as above says maybe leave a little longer between waters, some light nutes maybe as well now. Few more inch then train if your doing some training that is. Top maybe keep it simple.

    dark period before harvest?

    I do not flush my plants and the reduction happens the last week and i never finish with just water, the plants i'm growing at the min would and have kicked my ass above 900ppm so going to 1200 would be silly. I run to about 850- 900ppm (I run RDWC so imo nutes dont need to be as strong) i...

    dark period before harvest?

    Great read thanks for the info will take it on board, I do understand what you are saying and when i taper of my nutrients to the end i never do this to the point where the leaves start yellowing! I may not know the science behind what is going on but do believe you are starving and stressing...

    dark period before harvest?

    I think a flush is only needed in soil/coir as salts can build up, dwc/rdwc does not have this issue so your best to gradually reduce the nutrient levels down as the plant needs less and less. I agree with above a good slow dry and proper cure makes good weed even better but as i have stated...

    dark period before harvest?

    Imo yes you can smell the difference between cured and uncured, Good bud will always smell nice but cured bud will smell sweeter and taste much better. As the cure goes on mines always smells better and better. But no amount of curing will make bad weed smell or taste good. Shit weed is shit...

    dark period before harvest?

    You will be able to smell the difference, if it smells like dry grass when you open the jars thats the chlorophyll leaching out of the buds, this will turn sweat smelling as time goes on. speak again soon mate i better get some work done lol.

    Let's play "what's the deficiency"

    Just mix a 1/4 strength nutrient solution and add some calmag again probably best to start a 1/4 strength so you dont over do it as there may be some calcium in the base nutes, Adjust the ph of the mixture to ph 6.5 and feed to plants once dry. use only 1/4 strength because we don't know how...

    dark period before harvest?

    I grow in a large tent so once the plants are down i use the same tent to dry in as this already has my carbon filter setup so no smells, I always dry at room temp and keep my circulation fan and extraction fan running at all times, They will feel dry at 4 or 5 days but i will then leave them...

    dark period before harvest?

    I have tried both and honestly didn't like the what they looked like after 48 dark and 24 didn't seem to do any different to the standard method, IMO 48h dark just causes the plant unnecessary stress. I just do as Lucky Luke above says and never had any problems, Just wait till the light goes...

    Let's play "what's the deficiency"

    Growing should not be stressful mate, I would drop the ph a little to maybe 6.5 and buy some calmag its not expensive. I had the same shit with my last plants and they still turned out good just be calm and don't over water them. if you decide to have another go try and look in coco coir as this...

    Clones Will Not Root

    £20 cheap DIY bubble cloner using just tap water can root in arround 5 to 10 days. just a plastic container(better in black so no light gets in) and an air injection stone and a cheap air pump, I also have a heater in there but never used it. all i do is a dip in rooting powder and thats it.

    Let's play "what's the deficiency"

    I would say calcium deficiency but could be wrong. Are you using any calmag currently? Tap water or RO? whats your ppm(tds) before adding nutes? What nutes are you using?

    Second grow

    As above says light is key if you can keeps temps under control get yourself a 600w hps for flower and metal halide for veg, I use a tent to grow in 2.4m x 1.2m x 2m with 2 x 600w hid lights and huge air extraction to keep temps under control. I only veg for 4/5 weeks so plans are 12 to 16 inch...

    Are they done yet first grow

    As above probably needs a couple more weeks but hard to really say without looking at the trichs up close, looks like they have some growth left in them yet how long have they been in flower from first signs not flip 12/12 and what strain?

    I NEED "STATE OF THE GROW" INPUTS...PLEASE

    I don't grow outside so can't comment on any of that but they look good for something you wasn't serious about, looks like you have the bug. Best advice I could give anyone starting out is keep it simple in the beginning. Maybe look a some base nutes for the flowering stage I've used both canna...

    I NEED "STATE OF THE GROW" INPUTS...PLEASE

    Hey man no you don't smell hahaha, like it! They are looking good and i wouldn't worry to much about the yellowing of the bottom leaves too much, they may need a liitle more N in the mix. what nutes you using? Is that 11 days from flip 12/12 or from first signs of flowers? You should let the...
