Hey folks, Today marks 12 weeks of flowering Delicious Cotton Candy via light deprivation in my experimental 4 season green house. I live in Denver and wanted to see if I could successfully flower during the time of year when the sun is weakest. Verdict: yes it is possible to get cannabis...

@homebrew420 Thank you for the genetics. You are legit. Excited to cross with the autos (short stuff mix )

For a soil grow, yeah I think people get sucked into the marketing and think that nutrients are 'fuel' to a plant. So either the more the better, or there is a magical exact precise ratio of nutrients that if provided will double your yield, or double your THC, or 1/2 time to harvest, or...

Since it works until the thermal cuts out, the first thing I would attempt to test is how hot it is when the thermal fuse cuts out. If that seems like it is in spec, then the motor you have is likely undersized. Given Watts = Amps X Volts, the maximum amount of wattage you theoretically have...

Noob here. Just ending a photo greenhouse grow with light deprivation as myfirst grow. Am not sure I want the commitment of managing the light-dep again now, so thinking about autos. Any recs on seeds / seed banks?

Thanks WV, Maine and The Doctor. Appreciate the feedback. I have clipped a small 'test bud' and smoked it...a bit racy. Thinking of trimming a bit more in the name of science for future testing after curing. :) There are fully brown/red/dried up stigmas and some bright yellow new ones... tend...

Thanks Jaybray and Foothills. This is growing in a greenhouse where flowering was started in February, so wondering if the lessor light means a longer time to finish. Here are a couple of more pics of the grow: <--This one is from outside the glass with camera pointed directly at the SCROG...

Here are more trichome pics from the morning of the 56th day of 12/12ish light: Still looking pretty clear I think.

Here is a pic of my scrog. About 5 ft on the x axis and 3.5 on the y. Three plants. Low stressed trained them (no topping) into the netting. Once they had--during the veg stage--reached the planar coverage that I wanted, I went to 12/12 and the bud sites have grown straight up, adding a...

Owning my noob-ness I have all of 3/4 of one grow to build credibility. For this first grow, I decided that I wasn't going remove leaves. Then during about 4 weeks into flowering, I noticed that some of the older fan leaves were yellowing and losing their turgidity. Growing a SCROG in a...

Here are some more pics from today:

Thanks ChingOwn. I will keep posting pics. Here are some more pics of the grow below. This is a greenhouse grow with light deprivation. 2/1/2014 was first day of 12/12, and the light has been the sun through panes of glass that used to be a part of the old Stapleton Airport in Denver. I am...

Trichome pics of day 45 flowering of strawberry cough. Any advice on ripeness / when to harvest? Thanks for your comments!

March 10, 2014 (12/12 light deprivation on 2/1/2014) Picture from outside the greenhouse glass March 2nd, 2014 3/2/2014 3/8/2014 Pics from my greenhouse SCROG. First time grow. Plants vegged Jan 1st to Jan 30st, then went to 12/12ish light deprivation on 2/1/2014. The canopy covers a 3' by...

I am in the Front Range and have a 'beta' greenhouse/growhouse that I am running currently. My greenhouse is a small converted shed that runs about 95% on solar electric and solar thermal. You ought to look at a heat sink: really simple and cheap technology that can help you deal with the...
