    Is it ready for harvest?

    First time grower so I don't know when's the right time. And to complicate matters, I'm color blind. I don't know amber from rainbow sherbert. Does this look like it's ready?

    Help please. Is this a male?

    I have a problem. The leaves on 2 of the 5 remaining plants are showings signs of dying. Yellowing, curling, and dry brown. I have used a lightly tinged de-chlorinated and Ph adjusted water to feed the plants for the past couple months with good success. Now they look like they're dying...

    Help please. Is this a male?

    I decided to get rid of that plant. I have 6 in the tent so better to salvage 5 and sacrifice the one.

    Help please. Is this a male?

    It's completely dark. The tent is in the basement utility room with the doors closed and the small window sealed up with a box connected to an exhaust fan. I'm running 12/12 with lights on from 7pm until 7am.

    Help please. Is this a male?

    I do lift the smaller pots as a reference on occasion. Here's a pic of the whole tent, and a closeup of one of the pods.

    Help please. Is this a male?

    Thank you. I use a moisture reading tool and try not to water until the needle is in the "dry" zone but I may have overdid it. What are other signs you're seeing? Here's a pic of some of the pods I pulled off the one plant.

    Help please. Is this a male?

    Yes. The lights are half LED and half Halosun flourescent - all in the red spectrum for flowering. The fixture is 2-2.5 feet above the plants.

    Old man's first grow

    Day 115 overall. Day 25 of flowering. I supercropped just after I switched to flowering and things seem to be going just fine. I'm still using Happy Frog organic vegetable dry fertilizer steeped in water + worm casting tea (de-chlorinated & Ph adjusted). The plants are definitely drinking...

    Old man's first grow

    Day 90 I've kicked over to the flowering stage with 12/12 light schedule. Things have been pretty uneventful, other than the smell in the house lol. My son thinks the smell is affecting his snakes appetite - it hasn't eaten in months, though that's not super unusual I guess. I rigged up a...

    Old man's first grow

    Day 67. I have abandoned the Fox Farms liquid fertilizer trio. I was getting some horrible results and I can only assume it's because my medium (soil) or Ph. Whatever the case, the plants were severly underdeveloped compared to the Happy Frog organic vegetable fertilizer + Blood meal for...

    Old man's first grow

    5 days later. Plants on the left continue to outgrow the ones are the right. The plant on the back has some major discoloring on the leaves, too. I've done some more topping and a little pruning of stems that are growing up from the bottom through the middle of the plant. It's been 52 days...

    Old man's first grow

    The ones on the left are doing really well. The ones on the right are still quite pale, and 2 of them are lagging WAY behind. Obviously I messed something up with the Fox Farms trio. Or my soil is lacking something. My guess is nirogen. I fertilized on Saturday. Then on Sunday I fed the...

    Post your Organic Soil Mix

    First time pot grower so the only recipe I knew was the one I've used for my vegetable container garden: 2 parts top soil 1 part composted manure 1 part sphagnum peat moss. I threw in a handful of Happy Frog Organic Tomato & Vegetable into the soil. I'm also steeping Happy Frog + a little Blood...

    Deformed seedlings please help

    The same principle applies to outdoor potted plants, though you really need to pay attention to the forecasts. Outdoor potted plants are more susceptible to the sun's heat because the soil (and the plant's roots) are more exposed and can dry out much faster. Your plants are a little bit...

    Deformed seedlings please help

    I'm new too and experienced similar problems with my seedlings. They started out great the first week, but then slowed way down in week 2 and 3. Now I'm at day 40 and they are doing quite well. It's easy to over water and/or over fertilize at this early stage. Weeds are predisposed to...

    Week 6 of flowering? Slow growth?

    What's the temp & humidity in the room? Maybe that contributes. Otherwise, those look like healthy plants.

    PLEASE HELP SOON?!

    I am completely new at this, but I had very similar spots as what you posted at the beginning of the thread. I switched from fluorescent T5 tube lights to LED tubes but didn't raise the light fixture. The LED throws off a broader spectrum that's way more intense. Within a day I had those...
