for new growers... lots of info

some good info goin around!

thanks bro.. im trying to help whoever as much as i can..

once again simpson sampson.. much thanks for the tip on the whatever scope.. lol.. went to my local radioshack and they had this one microscope thingy that almost looks identical to the 420 scope ive seen advertised in the likes of hightimes and whatnot.. it has 60x -100x zoom, and i was totally able to c what you were talking about with the trichs.. too cool.. it did take a little getting used to looking thru it and all, but it is a cool lil piece.. something that i would recomend to any1 who want a closer look at their buds.. i always love how the peps at radio shack want to know what you are planning on using their stuff for. it always tests my ability to come up with some bogus response on the spot, lol.. and the best part was that it only cost about $15, a real bargain for sure.
it looks like most of my trics are still mostly all clear right now, so it looks like ive got some time left before i chop.
o yeah.. thanks again for the links you put up.. gonna go check them out in a few .. thanks for the time and effort ..

glad to help

thanks again bro.. and just wanted to say that i finally figured out how to add to your rep and was all to happy to as you have been very helpful in my quest for knowledge.. peace

hey simpsonsampson.. not sure if your still reading this thread or not, but if so, ive got a quick question for ya.. my plants are now in the 8th week of flowering now, and this is my second week of flushing with straight water, only added a lil bit of molasses to it, no nutes, for flushing.. my question is that i have been noticing alot of the bottom leaves yellowing and as soon as i touch the whole stem, it just falls of in my hand.. now up to this point, i haven't removed any leaves at all as ive read that they are the plants only form of making food and such thru photosynthesis, so this recent thing has me a lil worried. is it just from the lack of nutrients that is causing this to happen? and is this just the normal life cycle of the plant, being that is it close to the end of its natural life cycle? or maybe just the fact that the plant is concentrating more on the bud production and such, and the veg is not that important any longer?
thanks in advace for any help with this

This is one of the most complete books on growing I have found. Very detailed and scientific, not a quick read, but an excellent reference guide. About $30 at Borders, a worthwhile investment.
