    Scrog w/new string. Stretching too much. Ideas?

    Scrog w/new strain. Stretching too much. Height issue? Well, I think my title says it all. I'm vegging a clone that was supposed to be indica dominant, yet here it is stretching fast as hell. I'm in a very confined space (2x2 scrog). This is a problem. I've let them grow vertical now that...

    Vegging 24 hours, and wattage/electrical cost vs speed

    Hi guys, At the moment I'm growing with a 400w HPS. In the past I used this just for flowering (t5's for veg). Now I'll be using the HPS for both. So my question is - now that the light will be on 24 hours a day for veg, I was considering changing to a dimmable ballast to go 250w for veg...

    Anybody have experience with dimmable lights?

    Hi all, I'm using a 400w HPS with good success for my closet grow. The issue I have is when vegging (24h) I don't want to hear the loud(ish) fan I have cooling my light. So now I swap 100 watts of florecents, and it's OK, but a pain in my constricting setup. I'm toying with the idea of...

    When does flowering period start according to seed producer?

    ... just a technicality I suppose, but if a seed producer states 60 days flowering, does that mean 60 days after the 2 week stretch, or the day the lights go 12/12?

    first sampling time, and noticed.... uh-oh

    Before we continue, this is just my second grow. First grow went great - no issues (thanks to you!). Well, today was the first possible harvest day, so I'm taking a small branch sample.. It's a single plant from feminized seeds (Paradise seeds Nebula). I'm noticing that the small bud...

    Dealt with heat - temps too low now?

    Hi all, Thanks to everybody supporting me thus far on my first grow in my closet, which was a success, but too hot (86). Got the heat dealt with on my second grow by adding a second fan loop for my cooltube. In the summer, my temps were perfect with this more aggressive setup (76). Now...

    Difference between 250 watt hps, and dimmable 400?

    Hi guys, I have a run-of-the-mill electronic 400 watt ballast, and I'm running into temperature problems this time of year. Driving me nuts. Small closet with closed door : 2x2.5 foot. I'm almost exhausted (pun intended) all my options in terms of ventilation -> limited by 4" duct for...

    Harvesting the main cola. Question..

    Hi guys, One of my plants is finally ready. Just chopped her down. Small "pot of gold" plant around 24 inches tall. Anyhow, chopped the side branches, trimmed them, and hung them. The main cola (cut in half due to height issues in my drying space) is hanging an drying. When it comes...

    when to start harvest flush?

    Hi guys, Have had some trouble finding this information with the search feature. I want to flush for a week prior to harvest, and that time is approaching soon (on my first grow). I picked up a magnifier, and it appears I'm at about 40% milky, 60% clear on my trichs. I figure I'll harvest...

    Blumat watering nute strength

    Hi all, Just got my blumats dialed in after a week or so. Great so far, but my plants are burning lightly. Some more than others. I'm running Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom at 75% strength. I was at 100% before the blumats. I'm at 4 weeks flowering. Some have said not to use organics, but...

    Uh-oh, is this a hermy?

    This is my first grow (as some of you know - thanks for all the help thus far!), and I've never seen a hermy, but I think this might be one. I see balls, and the plant is 3 weeks into flowering... But it's possible that this is a normal female part that's about to turn into a bud? I'm not sure...

    A cupping and light question for you...

    Hi guys, I'm about 2 weeks into flowering now (seeing bud sites for the first time - yay!). Anyhow, two issues have come up: 1. I'm on 12-12 lighting, but today during their dark cycle, I had to open the closet door for 10-15 seconds exposing them to some normal room light. I had a hydro...

    More help confirming genders?

    Hi guys, Thanks for the help a couple of days ago determining gender on a few plants with me. My remaining plants I believe are showing preflowers, and I could use your more experienced eyes to help confirm what I think. Each picture represents one plant. For example jk1f means my "juicy...

    Can you spot any preflowers here?

    Just wondering if a more experienced eye can spot any pre-flowers from the images I just supplied.. Might help me spot them earlier. I hope they're clear "enough" as images. Thanks!

    Veg/Clone lighting advice requested

    Hi all, Need advice for the lighting of my new home depot veg/clone/mom cabinet. Top half used for moms, bottom for clones, then later veg when they grow up. I will use T5s because they are low profile. 24 inches ones since my cabinet is not wide. Actual grow are will be 24x18, so 3 sqft...

    How to measure temps - and too hot, or too cold.

    Hi guys, I feel like friggen' goldilocks. I have a small closet grow (2x3x6), and had bought a 400w HPS without cooltube. My temps (with 120cfm fan on high) ran around 92f. Too high. So I bought a cooltube, which brought my temps down to 75f, with my fan on low speed (!). Awesome. Or so I...

    Male pollen sacks in veg?? Please help.

    Guys, I just noticed something with one of my plants. I'm in VEG (24 hours), but this looks like a male (!?). First grow, so no basis of comparison. Hope you can help. It also seems that one has female parts? Maybe I'm reading things wrong. I've included a picture of the male in question...

    Nute burn after Promix transplant?

    Hi guys, I have my plants (about 6-8 inches high) in veg mode. I'd finally gotten "good" with the store branded A+B nutes, to where my plants were looking green and healthy. At first I was getting yellowing, and burning. I was not able to tell what, but I stabilized things with experience...
