    Harvest time determination- Hairs or Trichomes?

    Harvest time is coming for my five outdoor ladies- I have been monitoring trichomes e/o day for the past two weeks. On two plants (one is a clone of the other) about 1/3 of trichomes are cloudy, on two others (seeds from the same bag) about 2/3 cloudy & have only have seen 1 amber trichome...

    Too late to transplant?

    My plants are just starting to flower- but they are still in their 2 qt starter pots. I haven't had the chance yet to move them into a 6 gallon (volume) bucket. Roots currently are starting to grow out of the bottom of their pots. They were topped at the end of May; each lady is just under 3...

    THC Snow- don't want to mess up the harvest time

    Through human error, seed gender selection, and drought my initial crop of six plants is down to one- THC Snow (and I lost 1/3 of it due to a drought-caused wilt). I guess I started it late because the plant did not start flowering until Sept 5; today (Oct 24) is Day 49 of the flowering period...

    Just Flushed- now what?

    A few weeks back I posted a thread (https://www.rollitup.org/t/what-mineral-is-deficient.914903/); the reply was that I was probably under feeding. I am growing in a Promix BX (General Purpose) medium in a 10 gallon cloth container; I was feeding with Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow 3-2-4 every...

    Cropping/Topping Question

    I was planning on topping off my indica plant when it reached it's sixth node. Well, I had to go away for a few days and now the lady is at the eighth node and ready to keep growing. Is it too late to cut it back? If not, should I cut back to the third node (as I have read others do) or do I...

    Ist Time Auto Flower

    Well, it's my first time intentionally growing autos. Last year I sprouted a seed that my friend Charlotta gave me- that guy popped in 3 days, within a week it looked like a plant on crack, after 3 weeks I had to transplant it outdoors where it took off like gangbusters. It grew about 2 foot...

    Rainy Season Harvest Time

    I have three plants nearing harvest (one indica, two sativa)- each have been flowering around 70 days. In my area we have been having steady rain the past few days and it is forecast to continue with light rain daily for another week. With the overcast skies it is hard to get a good look at the...

    Quick Nute Question

    My plants are starting to flower- yippie!! Looks like I may have six ladies vs only two last year. The plants are growing in 10 gallon cloth containers using Promix medium. I am in the process of switching nutes from Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow (3-2-4) to Pure Blend Pro Bloom. Normally I use...

    Fabric Grow Pots- do they really work?

    Getting 2015 grow underway. Last year I had my plants in 12 gallon nursery pots (I have to have them mobile so I can move them quickly when relatives/nosy neighbors come to visit); that's about all I can physically move with my creaky back and knees. The guy at my "garden" supply store offered...

    Bud Rot- Outdoor Grow

    My buds started getting a gray/brown rot near the stem- I pulled off some of the rotted parts of the bud the last few weeks of growing. Here are some pictures of buds after harvest- a little hard to tell but one can see the gray/brown "dead" part near the center of each bud. One plant had some...

    Making my own strain

    I received a Pineapple Train Wreck seed from a friend so I grew it- what a beautiful plant! Until this weekend when, out in my backyard garden, I noticed baby balls forming all over the plant. Damn.... My other three plants (all showing female characteristics) are a Sativa-dom Jock Horror, a...

    Backyard Grow 2014

    Welcome all! I have been a lurker on this site for several years (and a poster on another well know site) and wanted to share this year's success/consternations with the RollItUp community. I will post grow details soon but first off- one of my plants (a "mystery seed") that I germinated at the...

    Raise the pH- Outdoor Grow

    I am starting out with 12 plants- Day 70 of veg stage, all are currently in 3 gallon containers of Promix. My nute solution is pH 7.0 while the run-off from the plants is around pH 4-5. Two of the twelve plants are showing Mg/Fe/Zn deficiencies so I need to make a pH adjustment quickly. I will...

    Applying Nutes in rainy season (outdoor grow)

    My outdoor plants are suffering from Nute deficiency (I checked out the excellent forum threads with pics to determine they need more Nitrogen). Last week I gave them a good watering with the same liquid fertilizer used last year (Botanicare Pro Bloom 1-4-5) and saw some immediate results. It's...
