    Pollinated plant, carry on or restart?

    OK cool! Out of interest does that theoretically mean you could pollinate 2 different buds on the same plant with 2 different males and get 2 different hybrid strains?

    Pollinated plant, carry on or restart?

    OK that's reassuring! If no more pollen is introduced will seed production stop or is that not how it works...... Lol OK he'll someone less gross to do it

    Pollinated plant, carry on or restart?

    Hi all A single female plant has started to show signs of pollination, it is exactly 4 weeks into flowering (just starting week 5) and it is a Royal Queen Seeds sour diesel, so it will take 10-12 weeks to flourish. On a few buds the pistils have browned and curled inwards, and a few tiny green...

    Can a low pH spike doom a plant?

    Thank's for your input guys it's appreciated! Been letting her clean out and she hasn't got any worse so I'm hoping as long as I don't give her any more stress she'll be all right!

    Can a low pH spike doom a plant?

    So like an idiot I added too much phosphorus into the reservoir last night and the acidity dropped very low (the indicator fluid isn't too accurate but it was very low). I quickly tried to correct it and about 40 mins later it was measured at about 6. Today the pH is still around 6 but she is...

    Seedling roots drying out

    Is she ready? Got the NFT tray ready and waiting but I thought I had to wait until she's basically root bound?.. :P

    Seedling roots drying out

    So I finally have my first little seedling in a 4" rockwool cube, she's about 10 days old (I think I stunted her growth early by keeping the rockwool too wet), and shes has just started her 3rd set of serrated leaves. All in all she looks moderately healthy, however I've noticed that the few...

    400w or 600w hps

    OK man, thanks for your reply! :) Loving the look of the setup! Do you remember the min/max temperature inside the enclosure? :) did you have to run the coolshade to/from the window to keep it controllable? Also is the fan inline with the coolshade also acting as the outtake for the...

    400w or 600w hps

    So I'm aprroaching my first grow with much excitement, and I'm wondering what light I will able to get away with in the setup I'm going for. I'm only going to grow 1 plant (maybe royal queen sour diesel) as I have an nft tray and can only fit 1. I'm also gonna have a go at scrog :) The setup...

    Sour Diesel 1 plant smell?..

    Man that looks gorgeous! If I get anywhere near that I'll be delighted xD mind if I ask a few questions about your setup?... What light are you using for flowering? Looks beautifully frosty!! Which breeder did you get the seed's from? Looking at royal queen but I've heard mixed reviews How tall...

    Sour Diesel 1 plant smell?..

    Okay great thank you very much :) managing the nutes seems like it could be tricky (as I say Im totally new to this!) The plan was to start just on the low side of the recommended NPK and creep up until she is just about taking all she can handle... maybe a silly question but if she needs more N...

    Sour Diesel 1 plant smell?..

    Aha! Have to say the stench is part of the reason I'm drawn to it! Can I trouble you for any more advice on this strain in particular? I hear it can be tricky at time's so any little tips would be great fully received :)

    Sour Diesel 1 plant smell?..

    Excellent, exactly what I wanted to hear :) I'll make sure everything passes through the filter and hopefully all will be fine! Thanks for the good info! I will deffinetly keep the temp on the low side if possible, do you think a 400w hps with a cool shade will be cool enough with airflow...

    Sour Diesel 1 plant smell?..

    OK great that makes good sense! I think the outtake moves about 350m3 per hour and the filter is rates at 500m3 per hour, am I right in saying that it doesn't matter that the filter has a higher cfm rating? Removing the intake is a good idea in regards to the odor control, do you think the 1...
