    perlite floating to top and plants get too much water

    I have holes in the bottom, but for the size of some of my bigger pots, I may need to add holes for extra drainage. I am using about40% perlite so some is still in the root zone, but something is hindering my route growth. thanx.

    perlite floating to top and plants get too much water

    Can someone please tell me how they keep perlite in their soil mix from floating up during watering. I would have to water at a trickle to keep this from happening. I use MG potting soil. I know it sucks, but I have a limited budget. It works on other plants, but I really just want to seee...

    Heat Issue - Any Suggestions?

    I can confirm this. Stay under three feet. More smaller plants topped correctly is the way to go indoors. Topping/pruning is absolutely essential indoors. Tall girls not only block their own bottoms, but also shade smaller girls. I try to get 4 main colas per girl and start to flower at 2...

    Heat Issue - Any Suggestions?

    I do not know where you live, but remember that in the summer, night time running may not be as cool as you think. I'm not saying there is any problem with it, I run flower at night, but in the summer night time temps can be high in the summer. I like your setup though. I wish I had that type...

    Flower and fertilizer

    Depending on how often you use your ferts I would stay on the same schedule and start going to boom ferts a week or two after you start 12/12 cycle. Two weeks maximum! Example: You gave plant veg ferts on last day before 12/12. Now you either give your newly 12/12 plants bloom ferts on your...

    do you think this is ready for harvest?

    Thanks again for the advice and wisdom. I can tell you this. Regardless of my issues with Nirvana Seeds, PPP is a great indo strain. I used just yeast & sugar in water, placed it in the area, and the flowers are tight, dense, high yield per plant, look good, smell good, taste good and get you...

    do you think this is ready for harvest?

    To all responders (so far), Thanks for all the props. I appreciate it because this is my second harvest, which consisted of two clones of their momma, which was my first harvest. Those buds turned out real nice, so I knew the second harvest would be good. I got the seeds from Nirvana. I'm...

    do you think this is ready for harvest?

    This is PPP indoor. the pictures aren't the best. A lot of Milky and a good amount of amber trichs. I harvested the top parts. I was a little on the fence about harvesting the tops from looking at the trichs, but almost all the white hairs were gone on the top parts where it got the most...

    Harvest Timing Question

    But people do harvest when there are still some white hairs left, correct? I can wait, I'm not desperate for it, or crazily excited like I was the first time. I think harvest is the most important part so I am trying to educate myself on timing as best as possible.

    first time grower .. need advice on harvesting

    Also get a good small microscope to look at your trichome development. I got a 60X - 100 X microscope at Radio Shack for like $12. You really only need 30 X microscope according to everything else I read, but check out radio shack. It is really cool seeing your trichomes in 100X...

    How long is a usual drying period before curing

    I have a PPP that is relatively dense in some spots and not in others. Lets say medium density. For medium density buds, how long do most people dry before they cure? I have a medium sized branch with nugs that seem crispy and almost dry in 3 days. I did not have a fan blowing on them and...

    Partial Harvest Question

    I hope it works for me too. Its such a beaut; i wouldn't want to hurt it. What do other people who don't think this is a good idea do? Do they just harvest the whole plant anyway and keep the small white haired nugs for normal smokin? This is my first official successful plant. I've had...
