    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    Well, I had a problem with PH initially, so after transplanting, I tested the soil PH and my waters PH and it is now doing well. No leaves are dying now, all new growth is lush green. But, where the original leaves were (the first few nodes I'd say) are these small leaves. Take a look at the...

    Fim/topping after plant damage?

    Here's pics, the first 2 are of the sativa, and the last 3 are of the indica. The indica has some dead leaves at the bottom as you can see. But new growth looks great. I'm just looking to maximize my output as I do not like to grow always. Just to get some for fun then put it away, too paranoid...

    Fim/topping after plant damage?

    My plant is healthy now, but when it was younger I had PH problems, therefore I don't know where the actual FIRST true node is.. I'd like to try uncle ben's topping technique (topping between the 2nd and 3rd true node) but I don't know if I can do this now. The plant is doing great and the...

    [PICS] What's up?

    The HPS is just so hard to handle.. much much hotter for some reason.. I have a 100cfm exhaust with two fans and a cool mist humidifier in a 4x3x2 box... Still hot as fuck. as far as ph, 6.2 soil sounds perfect according to my knowledge

    [PICS] What's up?

    Just tested my rain water to be sure, it's 6.0. I also tested the soil a week ago, PH'd at 6.2. Could this be a heat problem? The HPS has definitely increased the heat in the grow room.. My other grows were always around 77-80, now I'm 80-86, at one point my exhaust turned off and I hit 90 but...

    [PICS] What's up?

    I have no clue what's going on, I've had two successful grows and this has never happened to me, the only thing different about this grow is that I'm using a 400w HPS to veg instead of CFLs... What's the problem? Information: Seed planted 4/8 Sprouted 4/11 (10 days old now) Watered when cup is...

    Question about flowering from seed.

    Thanks for the advice, I'll 18/6 with the HPS for now.. but also, i have a problem.. the hood I bought was the basic one from HTG.. and I didn't know it didn't have an exhaust area.. It has a round 4" panel to the right with a circular plate you can remove, but it just exposes wires.. and a...

    Question about flowering from seed.

    Do you HAVE to have an auto-flowering strain or can any flower if you give them 12/12 from seed? Also, if I veg and flower with 400w hps what will the effect be on my buds?

    Heat problem in growbox

    well, I have a light meter that goes to 2000 and directly under all my CFLs it is BARELY under 2000 (im not sure what kind of unit they use for measurment). When I have it at the bottom on top of the plant pots, it's 1200.. is that really that bad? also, what "paper" over thermometer? what's that do

    Heat problem in growbox

    It's an 8" fan.. or 10", something like that. The air that's coming out is nice and cool so I don't understand.. I mean, I don't know anything about thermometers but it's brand new, could it be broken? It seems to think my humidity is only like 36% even with the humidifier INSIDE of that small...
