No Wretched I made a tea, I put 1/3 dose of guano in a gal of water and let it sit overnight. I didnt use a tea bag or anything. I think if I try it again ever I will try aerating it. I should really throw it away I dont know why I love to punish myself. It will be a different potting mix too. This next grow tho Im just using what I normally do. Fish emulsion in veg and the alaska type bloom formula 0-10-10.

Anyway I They looked like they needed N so bad I decided to get a chem fert that had N in different forms. Picked up of all things miracle grow tomato, has all the micros and 18-18-21. Used it half strenght, and about 3/4 gal, instead of my usual gallon. DIdnt seem to kill em, but its been a few days and theyre looking worse if anything. Still yellow, leafs dying again. I flushed them a few days before the miracle grow and the leaves stopped dying, but they were so yellow! Might pick em soon. Theyre actually almost 8 weeks, instead of almost 7, cus I sexed em and then revegged for a few weeks, so they were READY to flower 7 weeks ago when I flipped em.

highashell its more the night temps, if they get cool it can happen with certain strains. I would let it get a little warmer in the day cycle. My Super Skunk did it, temps were 70s day, low 60s by morning.

hey im growing under a 250w hps with cooltube... i have heard that if you lower the temperature to like 65, the buds will turn purple?

not all strains will turn for you.. mostly purples colors etc are a genetic trait. sometimes if your night temps are quite colder than the day the drop causes some strains to tint up some colors but not all strains...if you want some colors bro theres tons of good strains out there that will put out color all the time..

good info on temps and purple strains

No. i bought a lr mix from joint doctor 3 sprouted and were stunted and out of those one was male. i made seeds from these. and the result was that the first two didn't auto flower (almost two months) just showed sex and thats it. thats why the bush is so big. the other one with one cola is lr too but i put it in earlier because of space issues and it was getting too tall for veg the other one bushed out to the size of a gallon jug (a lil bigger) and now it's the main attraction

mosly cloudy but starting to amber now at about 20 % thanks for the compliment and each main cola is the same size on each plant..

Im hoping to get that effect with my bush without burning. Never let too many trichs get amber i harvest when mostly clloudy cuz i smooke all day. I hope these pics can show the lr bush is the one with hawaiian punch gallon (the best hawaiian punch is blue). the others should show the pk thats finished and its heir (to more pk bushes after the lr bush finishes. single cola plant is the early lr.:bigjoint::bigjoint: the kush tastes smells like lemon fuel and taste like mustiness with a lemony undertone. some buds more lemony than others shouldve let it develop more terpens and turn amber a little. still mind blowing

I have a question for yahs. I recently just finished my first harvest. I did Nirvana Short Rider under a 250 and my buds are fluffy and not the hard nuggets I was hoping for. What would cause it to be fluffy? Is it genetics, did I harvest too early or do I need a bigger light? I am very pleased with the high and the taste, don't get me wrong but I just want them hard nuggets I usually get from my guy. Do you guys get the hard nuggets with the 250? I am hoping it is genetics. heh

I think it has to do with light concentrattion but then again it could be strain because all of the bud ive grown (white dwarf, lowryder, hawaiian snow) had fluffy buds with the exception of this pure kush which is nugget like and firm. But then again i never sqeeze or touvch my buds.....even cut them with scissors sooooooo.

Stinkbud do you use any supplemental light or one 250? Sorry if Ive asked before. How many plants? How tall were your plants? How tall did you start flower?

hows it going BM as for the extra light no i dont use any but i did get my hps very close with no heat issues about 1 1/2 " from top,i had 4 plants in there for the whole flowering term and i had 6 total through veg all the ones remaining were at about 10" to 12" when i flipped to 12-12 but they doubled in height easy the tallest being 26"..

I don't squeeze em but I do usually break it up by hand, I like the ritual of breaking up a nugget getting it ready for the fire.

my past grows have always been with cfls all the way but i got fed up of harvesting tiny leafy buds just wasting my money and time flowering with cfls but il carry on vegin wiv 6500k cfls i went to gro-tec hydroponics today in rochdale next town over from mine i found there shop on ebay i bought a light kit 250w hps duel spektrum bulb shade and ballast with chains to hook it for £60 down from £120 from what iv seen around thats looks pretty cheap to me. Even second hand 250w hps are going for same price on ebay im buzzing with it i put my mango kush plant in darkness nearly 24hrs ago and now iv set up the light and put that plant under it the timer will switch it on in a couple of hours
here is a link to a cfl grow from seed to harvest with pics i had to read its the best cfl grow iv seen take a look nice bud pics for cfl

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/274722-ch9-250w-veg-300w-flower-23.html

Here are a couple of pics of my new light set up and of the yeild of my cfl grow and plant pics just finished a couple week back dissapointed tho even tho it looks like quit a bit of bud most of it is just crystals on leaf real bad:sad:let us know what ya think lads like to hear what kind of yeilds others have got from cfl flowering
