    Making No Bud?

    Too much nitrogen will result in tiny buds with mostly just hairs, and sativas are already have wispy buds, so combined i bet this was your problem. Even growing peppers or tomatoes excess nitrogen give you lots of small tomatoes, that take much longer to finish. You might want to get i...

    first autoflower grow

    6 Feminized? If so then you will need the 400w if not then 250w will do, since you will only get around 3 female plants. I would go with the 400w anyways, its about the same price and you will yield so much more it will make up for the price difference. Id start them in 16oz solo cups, and...

    sweet tea bud! Can it happen?

    Sweet tea would not be the best supplement for your plants. Sugar water does benefit plants, but only if its occasionally. But there is not much sugar in sweet tea, also the sugar is not the kind the plant can use immediately so it would have to digest it and make it into new compounds. Also...

    2 week old first set of leaves going pale

    Sounds like its time to start adding nutes. Unless it was the cotyledons that fell off, like the last poster said, they are supposed to. The cotyledons are the small leaves that have smooth edges and dont look like pot leaves.

    what do pistils do for the plant?

    Te pistils are there to grab the pollen and act as a slide so that the pollen slips into the floral sheath where the seed will develop. The majority of pistils ive looked at didnt have trichomes (the part that contains THC), and look furry under the scope. But i have seen some pistils with...

    What will happen?

    Im sorry it wont be 100% it would be 75%. 25% would still be normal flower with the recessive gene. The only way to get 100% autoflower with the WW traits would be to take the seeds with recessive traits and breed them together then you will have half auto and half normal. Then grow them out...

    What will happen?

    No problem, anytime. Yes the first set of seeds will have the gene for autoflower but it will be recessive and the plants will NOT autoflower. If you breed "those"(f1) seeds with another autoflower plant then you will get 100% autoflower seeds with the traits of a white widow. You could call...

    What will happen?

    You would get seeds that would have a VERY mixed sets of alleles. Also the seeds would carry the trait for autoflowering but none of them would be Autoflower (unless by mutation). However if you crossed breed those seeds with one another you would end up with many autoflowering seeds. Breed...

    using sugared water

    At night the plant sends sugars to the roots and some goes to the buds. The molasess probably helped you out by feeding the plant with excess sugar as well as feeding the plant sugar. I have Jorge Cervantes's book its at my old apartment ill get it soon enough. But i do know that Ed Rosenthill...

    using sugared water

    Why are we talking about the Electron Trainsprot Chain. Yes active transport can move sugars against their will. Mostly by the use of a proton pump. I though we were talking about plants absorbing sugars through there stomata's. Which they can do. I will find a reference for you on how if...

    using sugared water

    I dont wanna argue but yes microrganisms in the soil eat carbs and sugars. But plants will and do absorb sugar both through there roots and through there leaves. Having too much sugar in a plant is even pssible. The effects of an overload of sugar is that the plant will stop growing leaves and...

    using sugared water

    Hey its been a while since ive posted. Going through a move right now. But i know for sure that plants are more efficient at absorbing sugars through the stomatas on the leaf than they are at absorbing sugars with there roots. Of course afterwards you would want to mist with pure water to get...

    Clones Are Dying! (Pic)

    Awesome to hear that one rooted. Im pretty sure that last one will root too. It looks like its trying damn hard. Give it a light misting with some ubber diluted nitrogen. Couldnt hurt at this point. Lamp
