I planted several auto-flowering feminized seeds about 2-3 months ago, and the other plants have all shown to be females. This plant doesn't seem to have male or female characteristics. I was curious if this was a hermaphrodite plant, or maybe a non-autoflowering strain that may have gotten...

Hey skunkmeister, thanks for your post on my thread. Looking like a good grow you've got going. I'll keep checking in. Feel free to personal message me along the way. I had a pretty similar grow setup to you.

hey xroadsgrad, compared to your plant mine looks like straight up middies! I got all my seeds from bags I bought so I have no idea what I'm working with. Can't wait to harvest though.

Thanks for you comment Caregivin. I think I'll wait a week or two before cutting this fat girl down. It's my first grow and I don't want to harvest her too early!

I'm in week 9 of flowering and I feel like it's getting close to harvest time. The trichomes are about 90% milky white, 8% clear and 2% amber. This ratio hasn't changed much in the last 2 weeks. As for the flowers, the hairs seem to be turning from white to brown (see pictures). I'm still...

Fellow horticulturalists, I am in week 9 of flowering under a 250W HPS. I am using the foxfarm nutrients. I find it difficult to see the trichomes under the microscope (might be the shitty 30x microscope I bought from hong kong). From what I can tell, almost all trichomes are cloudy/milky...

I like the setup. I am also on my first grow, and I used CFLs for vegging. I was really happy with how they worked, but the growth was slow compared to what I heard from other people who use 400/600/1000W metal halides. For the space that you are growing in, you will probably be fine until...

this is my first grow, and I've been pretty generous with the amount of molasses I've been using. Since the beginning of flower, I've added about 2-3 tablespoons per gallon, in addition to foxfarm nutes, and my budz are looking pretty swollen. It seems like you can't really overdose your plant...

mama mia! nice budddzzz

Hey all, I am mid way through the 4th week of flowering. Here are my stats: Light: 250W HPS Soil: Foxfarm Ocean Forest Nutes: Foxfarm (solubles and liquids) I am currently using the Beastie Bloomz and the buds have really filled out from where they were before. But as I near the end of the...

"jawbrodt": I haven't tried that yet. I do indeed have one of those crappy soil PH meters. I have tried numerous times flushing the soil with acidic, super acidic, and incredibly acidic water, and the pH still rises above 7.5 by the next day. I will try the runoff approach you described and...

"Mygirls": I flushed by running about 2.5 gallons of pH-adjusted water through the pots at a reasonable flow rate. "Waggs": Definitely. The pH of the flush water is 6-6.5 "Closetgrowth": I've heard that lime is used for making the soil more basic. It's a buffer? Thanks for all of your...

I'm starting my 3rd week of flowering and my soil pH is about 8. I've tried flushing, using lemon juice in my water (pH is about 5), and most recently, using an organic product I bought at home depot called 'soil acidifier'. I always make sure my nutrient solution is pH 6-6.8. None of these...

It is day 14 of flowering and the bottom leaves of my plants are slowly falling off. The soil pH is about 8. Plants are in Foxfarm ocean forest soil in 2 gallon pots. I'm flowering with a 250w HPS. There are 4 plants. I am using the Foxfarm nutrients and following their feeding schedule...

I just transplanted my plants from small pots under CFLs to a 150w HPS in larger pots and Fox Farm soil. After 3 days in the new setup, the plants look weak and a bit wilted. I have kept one of the plants under the CFLs, and it appears healthy and vigorous. Is the 150w HPS not enough light...
