    I would pull only those leaves that will come off the plant easily. They are yellowing as they slowly have their energy reclaimed by the plant, much like the yellow/red/brown tree colors you see in the Fall. The plant is just diverting energy from one part to another, not losing any energy.

    MH and HPS together?

    Thanks everyone for your feedback - makes me feel better about what to expect. Fingers crossed that everything goes well leading up to harvest.

    MH and HPS together?

    Another question; will my plants fill out more and grow in height less during flowering? In the past 2 weeks of flowering one of my plants almost doubled in size to 3' and I guarantee it isn't from lack of light. I was sold g13xbuddha's sister and the other plants aren't nearly as tall as this one.

    MH and HPS together?

    If MH promotes good veg growth and HPS is used for flowering, would there be any benefits derived during the flowering stage from using both types of lights simultaneously? The set up in question uses both 400W and I'm going into the 2nd week of flowering on one plant and the first week on another.

    36 days vegging... is this normal?

    Should plants be showing signs of their sex before entering the flowering stage? I've seen one male show its sacs at 40 days (from seed) and 2 females at 36 days from seed. All were on the 18/6 schedule with no light getting at them during the dark periods. Would these be considered auto...

    Heat. How much is too much?

    Besides stunted growth, are there any other drawbacks to 90+ temps? My plants are routinely at 90+ and all seem very healthy (between 9 days and 27 days). Any feedback is appreciated.

    Temp goes from 81.5 to 69.0

    I bought a G13 x Buddha strain. I really hope I end up with some female plants for all my efforts.

    Temp goes from 81.5 to 69.0

    I've been tracking the temps for my plants and it typically will reach about 90F with the lights on (fan constantly blowing on them) and about 70F lights off. They seem to be thriving so I am not going to worry until I need to. The first 2 photos show my first plant in the rear at 3 weeks...

    Temp goes from 81.5 to 69.0

    My understanding is that it is actually preferable to have up to a 15 degree drop when the lights are off. I guess it simulates night better and perhaps gives the plant a chance to rest.

    Increasing odds for development of female plants

    I'm quite new to all this... well in a way since I've only grown once before and that was about 15 years ago - 2 hermies for all my work but I understand why now. Anyway, I'm in the process of growing 5 plants that are in various stages of development. The most established of my plants is now...

    Hello - new to the scene :)

    So I have an update to what I've been up to. First 2 pics are at 2 weeks after first sprout and the following two are at 3 weeks. It only stands at 5" tall but it is over 8" wide. Although there is lots of growth, I'm wondering if this is normal growth for my plant. I planted in promix BX and...

    Hello - new to the scene :)

    Just wanted to introduce myself to the RIU community. I've only grown once before about 15 years ago on my condo balcony (was OK but nothing great) but just recently I began again with a few seeds (local seed shop says they're G13xBuddha). Like so many interests in my life, I like to do a lot...
