Let it be, that's all you can do, maybe lift up cup to aid in air movement and evaporation, but with overwatering, the plant just needs time.

I agree, plants not only grow at night, their roots also do. Plus I've read that at night the auxins go to the roots and other chemical proceses happen. 20-4 would work, but hou should have some dark.

Soil is much more forgiving and better taste, hydro definitely wins in yield. I've heard coco's a pain, rockwool and/or clay pellets are prob easier for first time hydro gardener. Learn basics first.

I have done it once, and its as simple as that, i just tried with one ud from harvest antd had it in a tupperware with a small object holding it down, every day replace water. I learned never to cover; during a water cure the chloro, nutes, and other things u dont want seep into the water and...

True, but only more potent because some extra weight was taken, if a bud air dried weighs 1 gram after dry, the same nug would way between .7-.9 or so, so it has the same amount of original thc to less weight increasing potency.

Use bigger pieces of rockwool, and or get a timer and pump to water them when u r not there. Set up a simple wick system, so they can pull water from mini res via a wick so they dont dry. The solution is simple, they need to be watered more often. I understand u cant be there all the time to...

Its not that it can't store, its that it is difficult to store in the right conditions. It has to almost immediately be frozen, I've heard envelopes work well. Problem is that any moisture gets to pollen and its done for, has to stay frozen so that its still a fine powder when unfrozen.

200 isnt much of a budget, hydro will be too expensive. So to keep it simple you need Soil Containters Lighting Ventilation Timer Its an auto, so u shouldnt need too much nutes, can prob get away with high phos bat guano and the soil should do the rest. If you look on craigslist or ebay...

Still too early to show sex it seems, but as previos post shows picks, its pretty easy to tell once they start to show. I saw an ant on one of the pics, look out for aphids on leaf bottoms, ants farm them for their honeydew, get a garden safe spray with pyrethrins or salts of potasium to kill...

I think to a degree, it depends on indica or sativa, average strain stretch, and yield wanted for the plant. Indicas stay shorter and don't stretch as much as sativas. Some sativas flowered at 1.5 feet can reach five ft. when finished, while there are indicas who may only get to 2 feet and...

I've read giving last dark period of 24-36 hrs increases resin production.

Sounds like it could work, you could build a simple wick hydro system. Only problems I see would be giving the plants nutes, I doubt the lake water would have enough nutes, but who knows, there are some strains that use very little nutes. Maybe there is a way to make a hydro/soil combo wick...

I disagree LBH, I count from day of switching to 12/12, and my 8 week strains usually finish in around 53 days, so if i waited for hairs/flowers to show, i'd have a 40-43 day flowering plant. 28 days is only three weeks from 12/12, normally buds will still b small at this stage, you just...

You will be absolutely fine, even 13 hrs would b ok, its not 12 hrs specifically. In the wild, they normally grow in veg while the days are getting longer. They start to flower soon after the daylight hours start to decrease, well before nature provides a true 12/12 day. As long as in veg you...

I agree, different strains start and finish differently. My special queen looks wimpy at 4 weeks, but then at 7, WOW. Every strain is different. As long as you are feeding, and not showing any burn/deficiency/ph problem, you are doing good, and keep goin, she'll do her thing.
