    Random blackening of new growth - flower week 5

    Species is called "Punch Breath", I've grown it many times. Hydro, EC 1.6 PH 6.2-6.5. Feeding GH Flora + CalMag. Overall the plant is doing well, roots are healthy, and all the mature growth looks great, but there are several sites where new growth looks deficient or something: I've seen...

    Any way to tell (besides waiting) if this is pre-flower or if I got auto-flower seeds?

    We're still in veg stage, and I've only seen white pistils like this after flipping to 12/12... I'm trying to hold back from leaping to the hostile conclusion that I got duped and these are auto-flowers. Obviously another week will show for certain.

    18 hours too much light for my plants?

    Lights on @ 0600, off @ 0000. I noticed the last 2 days that the plants seem droop a bit after 2100-2200. In the morning they have looked fine again. (NOT running out of water) Is this a sign that I should reduce the light schedule to 16/8 perhaps?

    Grease Monkey (Pacific Seeds) and Punch Breath (bagseed)

    I'm told the Punch Breath overheated during flower due to a failed air conditioner. The bud was amazing, but had random seeds. If both Punch Breath are male, I may let it pollenate the Grease Monkey. There's only a 25% chance they'll both be male, in theory, but if so I have this idea to name...

    How much did this small pot hinder total plant growth?

    I feel 100% certain this indicates I need to use bigger pots next time. Is there any way to estimate how much this hindered total growth? Going to use 5 gal fabric pots next time if I can find them.

    The mechanics of humidity and VPD

    Theoretical: Room humidity is 25% and the tent controller is set to 65% humidity and 76F(24.4C) If my plant can keep the tent at 65% humidity by itself, is that still over-working the plant somehow? Is there any difference to the plant how the tent reaches 65% humidity? Is the plant is...

    Harvest timing in relation to watering cycle

    Chop time coming up this weekend. Does it make any difference where the plants are in the wet/dry watering cycle? Intuition suggests that it might be wise to chop at the point I would normally water. Thoughts?

    End of flower color change

    It's autumn in the tent: Almost the end of week 8 of flower. I've seen other growers post images showing this semi-uinform color fade happening late in the flowering stage. I've assumed this is fairly normal, and think I read somewhere that the plant sort of "gives up" on the leaves toward...

    Is this GE light mutating the sprouts?

    My son in law has been working on a pair of seeds under this lamp: Seeds are Grease Monkey (from Pacific Seed Bank) photo fem, and Death Star Cherry Pie (bag seed). They got over watered a bit which caused some fan leaf damage. We got that resolved and new growth is beautiful, but the...

    Dirt crop growing better than past hydro of same genetics.

    Current grow is a clone from the previous plant, so identical genetics. Same grow light and tent temperature, but I have let the humidity go up to 65% this round, but kept it below 50% with the hydro grow. This seems like a dramatic variation for a 15% humidity difference, so I am inclined to...

    Shopping for Grease Monkey seeds, how to choose?

    Area51: 6 seeds / $80US Nirvanashop: 5 seeds / $45US Seedsherenow: 6 seeds / $108US All Feminized Photos. Why the massive price spread, especially Nirvanashop? Quick Google search didn't uncover anything useful. Any reason now to go with the cheapest shop??

    Experimenting with clones and dirt: A Black Thumb Adventure.

    Prior to flipping my last crop to flower, I clipped 8 small stems and stuck them into Rapid Rooter plugs. 6 of those clippings developed roots. I kept them alive under a make-shift rig with a few household LED bulbs that had the diffusers removed. I harvested the crop from my tent, I...

    Do plants stop eating in late flower?

    I didn't closely track my EC last grow, so have no good reference. EC has not changed in 4 days. I'm used to seeing it drop slowly over time, around 0.05 to 0.1 per day. Recently I only see it go UP a bit as the water level drops. Adding the equal amount of lost water returns the EC back to...

    Do you think is is from over-heating?

    Saw-tooth edges and cupping on new growth making me think the plant might feel too warm. (stealth edit: Schedule is end week 2 flower phase) Tent was set to 80F / 50% humidity with a single circulation fan by the humidifier. Just now added a 2nd fan on the opposite side of the tent, and turned...

    How are you monitoring your water levels?

    I have a 30+ gallon tote, and looking for ideas on accurately monitoring the water level. I've seen some folks plumb a small clear pipe vertically parallel to the res, so the water level will be externally visible. Googled around for other ideas, but didn't see anything I liked. How many of...

    The Black Thumb strikes again - let's try splicing!!

    Sometimes my black thumb just lashes out for no reason. Like yesterday. I snapped a branch with my stupid Shrek mitts. At a glance it looked ok, so I taped it. But it was looking wilted this morning. Not good. This is bad: I read about this somewhere, seems worth a shot (incisions made...

    Making sense of PPM/pH changes

    My light and humidifier are on the same timer circuit. Both go off at midnight, come back on at 6AM. During the day temp ranges from 70-75F, with humidity around 60%. Check res last night: 650PPM, 5.8pH Check res at 9AM: 350PPM, 6.2pH Check res at 11:30AM: 450PPM, 6.0pH Check res at...

    Topping - Where to cut exactly?

    These girls are clones, I don't know if that makes a difference. I've marked a red line where I am guessing is the right spot, but the asymmetry is messing with my confidence. Contestant #1: Contestant #2 I feel totally confused about: Help. (please)

    Is this too much curl?

    Both of my clones look like this: The tent is 75F / 60% humidity. Water is 5.9 / 300PPM. Light is 10K LUX @ leaves with fixture 2' above the plants. Both clones have developed healthy roots well into the water. (Water treated with Southern AG anti-fungal) Feed is Growth Science Nutrients...

    Can we talk about PPM?

    Found this list on growace.com: Seedlings: 100-250 (nutrients aren't needed here, hence there's not a lot of particles needed) First Half of Vegging Cycle: 300-400 (this is usually after you transplant, which still doesn't require many nutrients) Second Half of Vegging: 450-700 (you'll start...
