    End of Pistils Turning Brown at 3 Weeks Flower

    OK, im not surprised it is heat stress as that is what i expected with the current heat wave. Its a 1.5' deep, 3.5' tall, 4' wide box. Currently it only has fans with the from side open for ventilation, however my 60 CFM fan with carbon filter is in the mail, and I already cut an intake hole. as...

    End of Pistils Turning Brown at 3 Weeks Flower

    Hey guys, Check out this pic of the end of my pistils. Anyone ever seen this or know whats going on? It has been really hot in the room (up to 86 for short periods of time). You can see from the rest of the plants that the rest are ok. could this be from the heat? thanks

    ac guy and landlord problem

    loolagigi - i had a similar problem a few back. my plants were about 2 weeks from harvest and my landlord called me to schedule when the fire marshall could come do a fire safety inspection. I disassembled everything and put it all in my car right before the lights went out at midnight...

    My second grow - I think I figured it out (pictures)

    they look really good right now. I would definitly change out your 6500ks for 2700 or 3000ks for two reasons - the right color light for flower and they are more efficient. it takes more energy to make higher temperature light in a CFL, so a 23 watt 2700k usually outputs more than a 23 watt...

    My second grow - I think I figured it out (pictures)

    Yea i know, you guys are right. because of space and power issues, this is the most i can do right now. eventually i do plan on getting an hps for some real growing, but this is better than nothing right? once i move out into my own place (dont want that electrical burden on my roommates) ill...

    think it would be okay?

    I used to always let my tap water sit out, but then out of necessity a few times i didnt and my plants took it fine. however, my tap pH was about 8.0, so i did have to lower it. i do put it through a pur filter though, not sure if it even matters. pHing your water is the most important concern...

    My second grow - I think I figured it out (pictures)

    Hey guys, this is my second grow, growing 5 clones from my best plant off my first harvest. my first grow was successful, i got 10 grams from two plants, although they kinda struggled because i was a first timer and figuring things out, and i really think they could have yielded more (bud pic...

    Watching for amber

    3 feet isn't a monster, but it is def a decent sized plant. what type of light are you using? thats what really defines how big you can grow your plants. a 3 footer should have 600 watt hps on it, because thats how far a 600w hps can penetrate (read that somewhere on these boards). its good that...

    Watching for amber

    You'll find many contrasting viewpoints on when the earliest you can effectively flower is. Once you see pre-flowers, once you have sets of 5 leaves, once the nodes become unbalanced, or some count of total nodes are all methods i have read on when to flower. It really depends on your specific...

    Watching for amber

    I actually harvested these guys yesterday. It was probably the earliest i could have possibly harvested, reason being i had the clones that needed to get into the big grow room fast. The trics were all milky with a few amber, which is fine because i like the head high anyways, body stoning bud...

    Photoperiod fkup?

    plants respire at night, and ive had better results with 18/6 than 24 hrs. plants will stay in veg with anything voer 14 hours of light per day, but 18 hours represents the summer solstice - the day with the most light hours in the entire year. so its like every day is your plant's favorite day...

    T5 vs. CFL

    flouro tubes give a more even light distribution, so the light finds ways to the lower canopy from above, but then the argument can be made that the light has less intesity (less light flux for all your fellow nerds out there - less light passing through a unit area). I grow with 4 2' T12s with...

    Watching for amber

    you think they're pure indicas? they're from bagseed and the bud they're from was a really head high, so maybe a sativa-indica cross?. Also, they're feminized seeds - i got real lucky, must have come from a hermy.

    Cutting down in one more week hows it look?....

    make sure you put up some pics of the harvest when your done...if your still harvesting today. Im within a week of harvest and waiting is becoming so hard, especially after i clipped two really really tiny buds off the bottom of my plant and got stoned as hell with the cleanest high of my life...

    12/12 Light Cycle and Growing From Seed

    I have a plant right now that was 12/12 from seed, not really by choice but i was growing 3 plants, one didnt make it so i decided to germ a new seed. by the time the new seed was germed the other two plants were on 12/12, but i kept it going anyways. I ended up topping it to for the hell of it...
