    Please tell me this is normal

    Drying some buds using the dry/cure method where you hang for 3-4 days then jar with a hygrometer. I jarred last night and after 11 hours, my jar RH had only risen to 63 percent, but my buds look whitish or maybe palish. I think (I hope) it's just the trichs but I also worry about some kind of...

    Salt test inaccurate?

    I've been using one of those Accurite temp/humidity gages and I worried about the accuracy of the RH. So I did two separate salt tests on the gage using the linked directions: http://www.cigarpass.com/index.php/salt-test-calibrate-hygrometer.html The first test leveled at 66 percent after four...

    Manicure then dry? Or dry then manicure?

    Just starting my first harvest and I see people say to manicure before drying and others say to dry first. So far, this is the most convincing reason offered to simply hang the entire plant and manicure after drying: What do you think?

    I'm a bit confused about drying

    Just started my first harvest of some Easyryders and have my plants hanging in a dark closet with temps about 75-80 and RH about 50-60. My RH was a tad high, so I put a box fan on low on the floor beneath the plants just in case. I also put a Damp Rid in there for good measure. I understand...

    So circulate air during drying or not?

    I've seen some guides that say indirect air circulation is a must; others say no air movement at all. I just started drying in a closet, temps 75-79, RH 50-55. Do I need a fan in there or not?

    Swollen calyxes or developing seed pods?

    First grow, just started ninth week on some EasyRyder autoflowers. One of the plants is showing differently than the others, and I am hoping it is just swelling calyxes rather than the dreaded hermie seed pods. Can anybody with some experience give me an assessment? These are the two main colas...

    Is a chamber hit to a bong like a nipple to a breast or what?

    Sorry if this has been discussed before and sorry to go all ACT on your asses in the title, but watching Wilfred tonight it occurred to me again that no one on tv EVER smokes a bong right. Ever. Every time I see it, I'm like "Clear the chamber! Clear the fucking chamber!" I mean, what the fuck...

    Just found this excellent store and wanted to share with others

    First of all, I swear I am not affiliated with this store in any way, but when I find a good company to do business with, especially a small company, I want to share that experience with others whom I think can benefit as well. I just recently purchased a Can Max Fan from Cheap Hydroponics...

    Best Inline Fan Fan For The Money?

    Preparing to order a 6" inline fan and trying to decide how much the old adage "you get what you pay for" applies to inlines. Air movement is priority. Noise level is not a huge issue as the fan will be in an enclosed area away from the house. On the other hand, I don't want a jet plane either...

    Carson MM-200 60x-100x microscope: how do you use it?

    Hey all. So I'm on day 50 of some autos and am getting closer to harvest. I bought a Carson MM-200 60x-100x microscope in order to start checking out my trichs, but I need advice on how to use it. I know it's impossible to look at the actual plant itself (too shaky), so I need to trim something...

    Flowering humidity 55%. Do I need a dehumidifier?

    My research shows 40-50 percent RH for flowering. Is 55 too high? It's interesting because my RH during veg hovered at 35-45 percent, but now I can't get it to drop below 52 percent. I'm assuming it's because the plants are putting off more moisture? Anyway, the ambient RH in the room is 37...

    Which magnification to check trichs? 20x-40x or 60x-100x?

    Eventually, I plant to have both, but I can only get one right now. Which of these should I get? Or do you suggest a different one? Here are the two I am looking at: 20x-40x 60x-100x

    What do you do when one plant outgrows the others? Please help!

    Hey all. I have a question about plant placement in relation to lighting. I have four autos on day 34 and beginning to bud. I just switched from 400W MH to 400W HPS (a little late I think), and the four plants are directly beneath the light. Three of the plants are about the same size, the...

    Autos: when to switch from MH to HPS?

    Hey all. First grow, four autos, 32 days from sprout. Three Easyryders are showing clear and developing pistils. I can't detect any obvious pistils on the fourth plant, a 60-Day Wonder, but I can't spot any male signals either. It looks exactly like the others sans white hairs. So far I've been...

    When Will I Stop Feeling The Need To Stare Lovingly At My Plants For Hours And Hours?

    ;-) I am on day 32 of some autos in my first grow, and they are really starting to look good. Their preflowers are starting to develop now. Those little white shoots are more and more plentiful every time I visit, and the plants themselves are green and healthy and really starting to fill...

    Any need to try cloning if I don't have seperate rooms for vegging and flowering?

    I'm on my first grow with some autos right now, and I know autos don't clone, but after this round, I am planning some regulars (meaning non-autos), so I built a cloning station in a nearby closet. Then it occurred to me...can I even clone if I only have one room to grow? My plan for my next...

    Greenhouse seeds no good?

    In another thread, someone said to stay away from Greenhouse seeds, I think because of high instances of hermies. I didn't want to hijack that thread, but I was just about to order some of their feminized seeds through Attitude. I was looking at the Super Silver Haze and Jack Herer. What is your...

    About When Do Autos Begin To Bud?

    Are they all wildly different, or is there a certain range I can expect to start seeing buds? I am just beginning week 5 (from sprout) on some EasyRyders and a 60-day Wonder.
