    Why do we hurt the ones we love? (microbes)

    Agreed. Whether I want to or not, I have to mix and re-amend pots eventually. Then I fill the pots and let them sit. Those microbes aren't going anywhere. Maybe they get mixed up and confused for a bit but, it doesn't take long for them to level out. When I bring bags of my compost to my...

    Area 51 Genetics? Anyone ever hear of them?

    Area 51: Calypso (The Kraken F1 x Astrodawg F1 REG) Week 4-5 of flower Short and stocky, as advertised. Dense, frosty, very stinky. Thumbs up.

    UPDATE: Pretty sure High Nitrogen lead to lockout/deficiencies but, been supplementing through flower and besides some minor fan leaf damage, she's doing well. Week 8 and she's got about 2 weeks left. Very few clear and amber trich's. Pretty much solid milky all over. 22 branches.

    Nope...germ then straight into soil. I didn't use the exact brands from the subcool recipe. The Roots is less hot than Fox Farms for seedlings...could be it (LOVE that soil on a lot of levels, btw). I also didn't dump 5 lbs of each ingredient in cuz I didn't mix up as much...I mixed up...

    Wow. Didn't realize I had to include all that. I guess it could be a journal. Yes, straight into super soil. And the recipe is pretty much subcools. And I let it sit and mixed it periodically for 8 weeks before planting. No, I didn't layer it, but frankly, I don't totally agree that...

    Yeah just wanted to do a run and see what's up. I'll be tweaking in the future. It's a Northern lights cross.

    Getting Started. Help Please.

    Exactly... This way if problems come up you catch them early and handle them. That's good learning experience. Trying to fix those is more than likely going to lead to a circle-jerk of advice which will cause more harm than good.

    Getting Started. Help Please.

    He's not going to be able to fix those. The way he's talking it sounds like he adopted those from somewhere so he didn't start them himself. I agree he should learn through experience but he's got so much bad going on there, regular advice isn't going to help him...those plants are already fucked.

    Getting Started. Help Please.

    Honestly, take a flamethrower to those things and start fresh. You asked if you should "switch" to 18/6...What are you running now, 24/0? Those temps are way too hot and I'd be very surprised if those plants are/stay, female. They're droopy as hell so it looks like you're over-watering...

    Did I overdry?

    You definitely over-dried. The hanging should only last a few days. Stems pop but don't snap, and the outside of the buds is dry to the touch. My biggest plants get hung for about 3-5 days then they go into jars and the burping begins for another few days until the moisture content in the jar...
