    Is it possible for a plant's trichomes to genetically not turn amber?

    Hi there, I'm growing this feminized autoflower, and the plant is looking pretty done. Foxtailing and leaves turning yellow (see picture). She's about 10 weeks old. I'm waiting for amber trichomes to appear but it hasn't happened... yet. I'm planning on waiting it out another week to see what...

    Should I harvest now or ok to wait two weeks? What's your opinion?

    Hey there, I'm somewhat of a noob, growing for 2 years. This is my first time growing Granddaddy Purple (that sadly has not turned purple) - it's a sativa dominate plant that has been flowering outside for 16 weeks. She is starting to finish up, but still popping a few white pistils. When...

    Ever seen this guy before?

    I'm thinking is some kind of aphid? I went away for 3 weeks and came back to my plants being attacked by these guys. I hit them with spinosad twice in the last 4 weeks but I'm seeing they are making a comeback. Little bastards! I've been googling MJ bugs and can't find this one. Thanks!

    In your experience, how long does sativa dominant strain take to flower once you flip to 12/12?

    Hello, I'm growing GDP which from what I've read is supposed to be an 8-9 week flower. These plants are definitely more sativa looking. I'm finishing up week 4 of 12/12 with a couple plants still with only pre-flowers. And growing huge! Is this normal? What is your personal experience...

    At what point do you decide that your plant is ready for blooming nutrients?

    Hello, I'm on my 6th grow and have consistently had problems with my plants lightening up shortly after I start giving them 12/12. What I have been doing every grow is to start giving them bloom nutes right when I give them 12/12. This grow I'm going to wait until they really start to flower...

    Granddaddy Purple from seed by Canuck

    This is my 6th grow. I'm so excited to start GDP because I'm in love with purple bud, only had it a few times in my life and this is my dream come true! I've seen many different pictures of the finished product of GDP and some don't look at purple as others. I'm crossing my fingers for that...

    PH problems

    I'm currently growing in Roots Organics soil and smart pots. I've constantly had problems with nutrient deficiencies and can't quite get a grip on it. I bought a Bluelab PH pen and have been PH'ing my water around 6.5-6.7. I'm still having issues with my plant so today I decided to check the...

    Recommendations on an accurate PH meter?

    Hello, I'm growing in soil, using smart pots. My garden is small so I'm just ph'ing a gallon at a time. I don't trust my PH meter I'm currently using! Any recommendations for one that has worked for you? Thanks!

    How long does it take pollen to "set"?

    I brushed on some pollen onto the lower branches of one of my girls. Does anyone know how long it takes for the pollen to be accepted by the calyx and start growing the seed? I have a spider mite problem that I'm going to treat with spray one more time before I let her finish. I'm afraid I'll...

    My LED veg using Pro Grow 180 (180 watts)

    I have a 24"x30" space that is not climate controlled so heat is an issue. This little LED light does okay for itself. Attached is a picture of my girl - from sprout to now she is 8 weeks old. She's been vegging under 24 hour light and I just kicked her outside to flower. I've been growing her...

    Thrips! Help!

    I'm growing outdoors in smart pots. I'm use to fighting off spider mites, but this is the first attack I've had with thrips! Those little bastards are all in my new flowers. I sprayed last night with SM-90 before the sun went down but this morning the party continues on my baby girls. This...

    Water/Feed Schedule different for outdoors?

    I live in Hawaii so I can grow year round outdoors. Currently I'm growing Jillybean x sour diesel in 3 gallon smart pots with Roots Greenfields soil. Where I live is pretty windy and hot so I'm watering my plants every other day. I'm using dyna-gro nutes once a week. My question is: should I...

    When do you switch from grow to bloom nutes?

    I have 5-6 week old plants that just got switched over to flower. They have the beginnings of preflowers but haven't started to go off yet. When do you switch the nutes from Grow to Bloom? Should I start using Bloom now since its on a 12 hour cycle or should I wait until it's clear its ready to...

    Increase nutrients throughout grow?

    I'm currently growing small plants outside in a 3 gallon smart pot using Roots Greenfields soil. I'm using Dyna-Gro nutrients and looking at their fertilizing schedule, they recommend starting out with 1/2 tsp of Bloom/per week at week 1 of flower and by week 6 you are giving them 1tsp per...

    Early detection of male and female preflowers

    This is my first post so I hope I'm sharing this in the right area. I've been growing for a year and this is my fourth grow. Throughout every grow, I am always learning so much. For this grow I decided to look through a loupe and try to detect sex as early as possible. I took some pictures and...
