    Question re: trichs, leaf color and harvest

    My last plant had some yellowing of the leaves at the end of the cycle when harvest was imminent. This plant seems to be pretty much ready based on trichs, but no yellow leaves. Should I wait another week or two or go by the trichs? Do leaves always go yellow? As background: Both plants...

    Autoflower strains question on light

    I just finished with 1 Lowryder 2 that I had on 20/4 the entire cycle. She yielded 3 oz. wet (about 86 gms). In the CFL room, someone commented that it might have yielded more on 12/12. This isn't what I'd read, but would love confirmation one way or the other as I have another lady in flower...

    Clarification re: CFL placement

    I've got some very nice plants growing under 2 20w cool tubes, 2 27w cool cfls, 1 65w cool cfl and 1 55w warm cfl. Right now, all except the 2 20w cool tubes are around the sides of the plant and the 2 tubes are at the top of the plants- I move them up as the plants grow. The problem I'm...

    Feminized Seeds- worth it?

    Thinking about buying new beans- and because it's a bit of a drag to invest so much time to find the plants are male, was thinking feminized. I've heard conflicting info about hermies from feminized seeds- does this risk outweigh the benefits of the female seeds? Can one just remove the male...

    Durn it- Hard Freeze question

    Last night, my area (NE) had a hard freeze :cuss:- our first of the season. I covered ALL my outdoor plants including the last MJ lady that I have going with garbage bags/tarp. It was a pretty significant freeze and all of them are still showing frost on them, including the MJ. Should I pull...

    Craigslist postings?

    My friend's contact totally flaked so I posted on CL for 420. Got a few responses, actually, but am slightly paranoid about meeting strangers since I used to get from friends before their source went AWOL. I did some Google research to see if there were any accounts of stings or anything like...

    Help with CFL set up

    Hope you guys can help. Can't vent a 400w HPS light- turns out (from recent experience) it runs way too hot for the space, there's no real option for ventilation, open doors emit visible glow that is problematic for stealth, and it appears to be a major fire hazard due to the wood paneled walls...

    Need input re: flouro lighting

    I sprung for a 400w HPS to grow in a closed off cedar closet in the basement. I wish I could say I knew more about DIY construction than I do, but I'm a girlie chick. Anyway, light is too hot, there's little way for me to properly vent, security is an issue as the light is visible if the door...

    Help- Hermie or Male? To pull or not to pull...

    Hey folks- you guys have been an amazing help, so hopefully can get your input this time too. Started with 8 plants- 4 were male and have been pulled. Of the four remaining, one is clearly a female and is into flowering, though has not produced buds yet. My question is about one of the remaining...

    Sexing question

    Planted early June- all 8 plants got to be about 4-5 ft. high with substantial stems but are pretty lanky because of where they are planted and light conditions. There's one New Purple Power from seed and then the other 7 are bagseed of unknown origin. Three pre-sexed to male over the last...

    Question re: preflowering on outside grow

    I'm in the Northern Hemisphere and plants have been in the ground since late May/early June. They're growing steadily where they are. I'm wondering when plants will start to preflower outside in the Northern portion of the US (Zone 6)? I've been watching them carefully, but a guideline on timing...

    Question re: Flowering Outside and Shade

    I had to move my 7 plants to a less than optimal location at the beginning of June because it was pretty clear they were going to be detected where they were due to their out of control growth in the full sun. I put them in the back of my lot, surrounded by tress, and they get about 4-5 or so...

    Getting ready to transplant outside- question

    My seedlings are about ready for transplant outside- they've been hardening off for several days, will be hardened off for a few more days and then will be planted. They appear nice and strong and have been responding well to being outside- I notice drastic growth over the past day (they like...

    Issues with bent stem- help?

    One of the stems bent on one of my 3 week old seedlings- they're about 2 1/2 inches high now and it bent underneath the cotyledons. Staking was awkward for the little thing and created issues with keeping the plant close to the light since the stakes I have are too high. So, I carefully...

    Newbie ?? re: germination/planting seed

    Hope you guys can help- I think I may have messed up and hope to salvage. Germed seeds in paper towels and planted yesterday with white tap root up because of info that root will turn 180 degrees. Today, the root was above the soil so I (mistakenly) removed the humidity cover and put a light on...
