    Day 56, no amber, but looking good!

    Pennywise and God's Gift. Just waiting. The Pennywise should show amber in 60-67, according to the TGA website. Not sure about the GG, but it's a little more sativa-leaning, so it might be a week longer. We'll see. It would be INCREDIBLY CONVENIENT if I can chop on the same day and use my tent...

    Effect of deficiency on flowering

    Hey Learned Folks at RIU, I have a God's Gift finishing week 6 of flowering and it's showing what seems to be either a Potassium deficiency of a Manganese deficiency -- largest fan leaves overnight turned light green about a week ago and now are yellow with blotches. I'm in hydro, AN 3-part...

    Hermie management -- or perhaps monoecious display

    Hey Folks! Just got my first hermie and have some questions for growers who've dealt with this. Plant is a God's Gift from seed. Since GG is clone-only, this seed was from a selfed plant. I also have a female Pennywise going right next to it in a tent. Plant was odd as a seedling. It stayed...

    Thank God for trim!

    So I've had about 3 gallon bags of high quality trim in my freezer for about a year, maybe more. Just sugar leaves from a tight manicure and lower-third popcorn buds. Dried it out and now have two 1-quart canning jars packed full of 100% vapable, 100% organic, 100% Jillybean trim. I will...

    God's Gift a light feeder???

    Hey RIU! So I'm running two strains that are new to me. Pennywise and God's Gift. The Pennywise seems to be a normal feeder. We're six weeks from seed, and she's getting 500ppm in hydro bubble buckets and doing just fine. Actually, normally I'd be at 600 around now, but, like I said she's...

    taking a cutting for sexing purposes -- need help!

    Hey Guys, So this grow I'm going to do something I've never done before. When I top at 5-6 nodes and knock the plant back to two nodes (Uncle Ben's technique), I want to use that cutting to sex the plant. What's the easiest way to do that? I don't want to keep the cutting as a rooted clone --...

    Oh, so annoyed with myself -- let cubes dry out!

    So I popped four beans last week. As of yesterday they had sprouted in their rock wool cubes so I put them under a 40W CFL and a gentle fan. Today they were beautiful…seedlings standing tall, roots starting to pop out the bottom already. And I spent three hours reading…and when I looked up...

    Seed colors…same plant, different sizes and colors

    Hey Folks! I've always bought my genetics, and therefore seed color, size and shape are pretty uniform in a 10 pack. But a good friend just gifted me a small batch of 50 seeds from some random weed she bought a year ago and really liked. The seeds vary a lot. Some are large and green-brown...

    matching up strains for a multi-strain grow

    Hey Folks, It's grow time! Finally! I'm branching out into a multi-strain grow. Four plants, two each of two strains. I'm thinking of picking two of the following strains: Pennywise God's Gift The Church I always have to flip around 5 weeks because of height issues. And I do like an even...

    Any NYC nerd out there who wants a set of bubble bags?

    They're the Virtual Sun 1 gallon bags, set of 8, from 220 microns down to 25 microns. I'm doing a little housecleaning, and it's not like I can drop these bags off at the Salvation Army as a donation! They're brand new...I tried making hash once, but sucked so fucking badly at it I'm just...

    Am I crazy to be excited about growing some bagseed?

    So I have about $800 worth of awesome genetics either here or on the way...Kali Mist, Pennywize, Durban Poison, Jack's Cleaner 2, The Church, Original Haze, ColumbiaxLambsbread, Pandora's Box...plus about 8 others... I've been thinking about what to grow next (I grow two plants at a time). So...

    12/12 from seed discussion -- just curious...

    Hey Folks! So I'm looking forward to my next grow. I was going to experiment with some serious mainlining. However, I just saw someone's pics of mid-flowering a plant that was 12/12 from seed. And I know that 12/12 from seed has prompted some heated discussion in the past. But I'm going to ask...

    Ice hash EPIC FAIL -- damn, I grow good but I SUCK at making ice hash!

    What a fucking waste of a bag of Jillybean trim! I watched Sub's tutorials several times, had my bags, my ice, my metal spoon. Did it all. Got nothing but the tiniest hint of hash at the bottom of a couple of bags, but it was so small I couldn't even scrape it up. In one of the tutorials Sub...

    SpaceDawg stretch?

    Whassup Nerds!?! Quick question for those who have run SpaceDawg -- how much was the stretch??? I got a little blindsided by Jillybean's 2.5-3x stretch and want to know what I'm in for so I can flip at a time that makes sense for my space. I'd like to flower the full 8 weeks if possible, but I...

    2 plants + 400W + RIU advice = 6 oz harvest for a total newbie!!!!!

    That's right! Thanks to the amazing RIU community, I actually managed to pull 6 oz on my first harvest. :hump: And that's acknowledging that my grow was compromised at times by the reality of my set up. Here are the details, plus photos, 'cuz we all know without photos it didn't happen...

    Waiting, waiting...

    A forced harvest with NO hang time threw me for a loop. One plant was ready (luckily), the other a few days away. Terrified of 1) drying too quickly and 2) mold, I've been walking a crazy-fine line as I try to make the most of what I have. Full harvest report to come later, but for now I think...

    Had to chop, couldn't hang dry, now trying to salvage what I got

    Hey All, Today would have marked 8 weeks of flowering for my two Jillybean plants. As of Wednesday my trichs were mostly cloudy, with some clear, but the amber hadn't started yet. 90% of pistils had changed color and were receding. My intention was to cut when they were 10% amber, which...

    Checking trichs advice needed

    Hey Everyone! I'm just finishing week 8 of flowering (9 since 12/12) on some TGA Jillybean. This will be my first harvest. I'm looking for amber, and not seeing ANY. Trichs have gone cloudy. 90% of pistils have colored and are receding. Calyxes are swelling, etc. But not a drop of amber. Just...

    Go easy on me pls -- discussion about removing lower third

    Hey Everyone, I know people will go to the mattresses over removing fan leaves. But that's not what I'm asking about. So I have a 2'x3' tent and two bubble pots. I topped at two node for four main stems on each plant. And I LSTd. So I now have these "two" plants acting like eight plants --...

    Found a bag on the street -- the gods have gifted me something lemon..:)

    So where I live there's a major transit hub AND some buzzing nightlife. From time to time on a Sunday morning I find MJ in small amounts in bags or joints. Just there, lying on the ground, and I see it because I'm the first one on the street as the sun is rising. And I think of the poor sap who...
