    First grow (auto-flowering questions)

    No worries.. :) You actually answered your own question. The difference IS that you have to induce flowering. An Auto-flowering strain will start flowering when ever it's ready to regardless of the light schedule. A fast flowering strain simply completes the flowering phase quicker than normal...

    Foliar feeding

    So, is that a yes the plants need to utilize foliar feeding during the flowering phase? Sorry, I'm a bit lost in your post as it pertains to my question. Please elaborate. :)

    Foliar feeding

    I read somewhere that during the growth phase one doesn't need to foliar feed your plants much because they feed through their roots primarily but, during the flowering phase they utilize their roots less and it's better to foliar feed them with watered down nutes. I have since not been able to...

    To many choices... need help

    I'm new to buying seeds and there are so many options, strains, and companies that it's hard to pin point what I want. So I am here asking people far smarter than myself for recommendations. :) 'm looking for a good strain to grow indoors under CFL. Yes Yes I know... CFL... pfft.. But, I live in...

    First grow (auto-flowering questions)

    Ouch.. little harsh don't you think? I also think he is right. I have found Gigabud seeds and no where does it mention anything about auto-flowering. Typically if a strain is an auto-flower strain, that would be advertised in the description. I took this directly from Attitude. G13 Labs...

    First Grow - CFL - 1st week of flowering.

    Sorry, I should have added that the soil I picked up did not have nutes pre-added and I was talking about the natural nutrients already in the soil.

    Great posts Where!!! +rep for you mate! Yes you can just throw weed into the brownie mix but, you will end up with brownies that taste like plants and have a lot of plant pieces in them. This way you just extract the THC and not the plant matter. Think about how much plant matter would be in...

    BTW... THC is destroyed in high temps. I believe it's around 15 degrees above boiling so you definitely do not want to burn the butter!

    First Grow - CFL - 1st week of flowering.

    +rep for you indeed! I do it a little different. I don't have a crock pot so I improvise. I take 1 stick of REAL butter to every 1/2 ounce I have. I take two pans... one larger than the other. Fill the largest one with about 4 inches of water. then I set the other pot inside but, hanging inside...

    BTW, the burn on the leaves is from the plant growing into the lights and not from nute burn.

    First Grow - CFL - 1st week of flowering.

    Unfortunately, it's winter here and any field trip outside would kill the ladies. I'm not to concerned about the weight I yield. I'll be happy if I get an ounce dry from each plant. This is my first grow and I just wanted the hands on experience. I can read everything in the world but, it's all...

    First Grow - CFL - 1st week of flowering.

    Good call on the hermie, I didn't even think of that. However I don't have a separate space I could grow in far enough away that I don't contaminate the ladies. OMG... Triple my lights? I couldn't even imagine having a dozen football sized lights hanging in my closet. lol I do think I'll buy a...

    First Grow - CFL - 1st week of flowering.

    So far I am running 4 - 65 watt and 2 - 26 watt for five plants. Is this enough to flower 5 plants effectively or should I add more?

    First Grow - CFL - 1st week of flowering.

    Bad news, one of my plants started to hermy so I introduced her/him to a snow filled dumpster. Made me a bit sad because she/he was a nice bushy plant. I ended up buying two 65watt lights and I am going out today to pick up a couple more and a couple of splitters. I also spent quite a bit of...

    First Grow - CFL - 1st week of flowering.

    Just checked on my six plants to sex them and by some sheer pot magic all six turned out to be female!!! I was counting on at least 3 being male so I could thin out my little grow area and not have to add more lights but, it looks like back to Lowes I go for a few more lights... :)

    First Grow - CFL - 1st week of flowering.

    So, this is my first grow. I'm a complete noob. Like everyone else I figured I'd plant a seed in some dirt, turn my closet light on, and when I wake up in the morning I would have a lovely plant of giant buds. :) I would love to say that I wasn't that stupid but..... My first couple of days...

    Which foxfarm products are most needed?

    Howard, I'm in the same boat you are in. After looking around, I found a combo package of FF's Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom pretty cheap. With shipping to me, the total was $42 and some change. Here's the link if you haven't already ordered it...
