    Question about re-vegging early flowering outdoor

    I've been a big fan of re-vegging for a long time. Harvest as usual and cut the main stem down to about 50% of its harvest size. Reset timer to 24/0. You will find that the veg time on a re-veg will be a week or so faster than the original veg. Same thing with the flower schedule, it will be...

    Help harvesting please

    I'm going by experience. The pistils are crispy with lots of tris. Sounds ready to me. Good luck, BigSteve. Toking since 1964 with a perpetual grow since 2009.

    Ideal air conditioning unit for 8x8 grow tent

    Forget an ac unit and get a small circular fan. If you are trying to keep the heat down place the fan near the top to blow out the hot air. Or put fan on the floor to suck in cooler air. I prefer the second method as it is usually an easier set-up. Good luck, BigSteve.

    Cloning a top?

    Tops are best for clones as they usually have the thickest main stems. I would make a diagonal cut just above the fifth node. You want a length of main stem buried in cloning cup so they will root quicker. Good luck, BigSteve.

    Help harvesting please

    She is close to ready now. Gently squeeze a bud and feel if it is sticky. Should be. Your plant is close to 100% sativa and they take longer to mature, eh? Good luck, BigSteve.

    trimming during flower and general help

    To tell if the plant is too close to the bulb do the "hand test". Plants are about as sensitive to heat as human hands. So place your hand, palm down, over the top closest to the bulb. If you can feel the heat you are too close. With a 1000W bulb in my flower room I can let plants get within...

    Need new lights or new ballast?

    Some bulbs take a while to light up after the timer turns on. The quickest way to burn out a bulb is clicking the timer on and off to adjust the timer. So avoid that. Good luck, BigSteve.

    This one will be 7 days old tomorrow.

    I noticed you don't have drain holes in your starter cups. They will help you avoid root rot via over-watering. Because you went straight from a starter cup to a big pot you will waste weeks waiting for substantial growth. The greenery will not grow much until the roots hit the bottom or side...

    Cloning Question ...

    Hard to tell much from your pic... General rule for cloning in a solo cup- *there should be at least 2 nodes showing *transplant when you can see roots. Good luck, BigSteve.

    Taller plants

    Try bigger pots. Plants will grow taller once the roots hit the insides of the pot. So find some 5 gallon pots that are tall. Good luck, BigSteve.

    What to do? Need some expert advice.

    There is a better solution than digging up and replanting a seedling. I use skinny bamboo skewers and pipecleaners. Make a 6-8 inch "stake" with 4 inches or so of pc twisted around the top. Put the stake near the stem, straighten the seedling and wrap the pc around the top of the seedling...

    Little buds

    More light = bigger buds. Put your pots on booster seats, I use upside down empty pots to get them closer to your light source. Good luck, BigSteve.

    How do I start a journal?

    1. Be sure you individually mark each pot. 2. Write date on beginning of the notebook line. 3. I like to measure plants until they have been flowering for 2-3 weeks. Note height every few days for each plant. 4. Write down everything you do to a plant daily. Ex.- +12 oz. H2O w/ MG (miraclegro...

    Are my plants too close for my new light

    Do the hand test. Rest the palm of your hand over that part of the plant closest to the light. If your hand feels uncomfortably warm you are too close. I use a 1000W MH bulb for my flowering room (MH cuts down on the heat) and my tops can get to 6 inches from the bulb before they start to burn...

    induction light growing

    Looks like a heavy duty light. Is there a wattage written on any of the bulbs? I would pick up an adapter so you could plug into a wall socket. Good luck, BigSteve.
