Who Needs Help?Ask Here..

Blazed hippy isn't right man.. He sticks very close to ideals he has learnt and it just his OPINION.. My opinion is u have done a fine job.
I trim just about as much as u do, this is so I don't get bullshit pop corn below and my plant can put all of it's energy into
top buds, I grow SOG..
Very recently I saw a legit grower giving his plants the closest buzz cut I've ever seen, it's almost brutal yet he claims since he started doing it he's increased 7-10 grams per plant.. He says the leaves in the buds are enough for the plant to fully fuction

Blazedhippy, plz don't come back arguing, less bud with bcos of less leaf is just too general a comment wen many many top growers achieve great/better results trimming accordingly..

Just leave em alone, let em do thier thing

hey guys I'm new on t his forum and I'm also a starting newbie, I have been reading this forum for some days but I can't find enough info about AF ones, specially the one I've recently got, the Snow Ryder... I just put them in small pots after germination was completed, soil is ok, they have been in pots for 4 days, I'm also checking the PH and doing it outdoor, I think I'm doing good, my question is, when can I start using the flowering nuts? I've never did this before, and the info about this strain is almost zero, I don't know how long will they take to keep flowering (as I read I should stop with the flowering nuts 2 weeks before harvesting...most of the info I got here is about normal strains, AF strains are faster to grow) ...any input will be appreciated!

Ok so every one knows I preach don't trim leaves, This is high on my experiment list for an upcoming grow I will do a side by side one trimmed one not and we can see what happens.

That said there are methods/styles of growing that require prunning/trimming, these methods are designed to maximize canapy growth in small spaces in order to maximize yields under these conditions. I don't agree with these styles but that does not mean that they don't work for thier designed/intended purpose

Beauty of having both myself and StreetLegal here is that you the reader get two different opinions and styles to compare and follow, in the end always remember that your working in "YOUR" garden and the way you decide to grow is totally up to you!

Assume AF = autoflower you should start feeding bloom nutes 2 weeks after you see buds forming

Hey Street and Riddle. I have two small white rhino going at the moment. Street has seen them. On my last and first plant the main top cola was by far the best looking bud to come off the plant which is i presume normal. The rhino appear very compact at the moment and i want to make sure the top cola is all it can be. I am not using FIM or topping or LST. I am growing under CFLs and i was wondering, continuing on the theme of the above posts, whether chopping off some of the lower branched where buds will form will increase the top growth or this would be detremental and may cause too much stress and hermi. The reason i ask is that the amount of leaf growth is pretty impressive and i dont want the plant wasting energy building those buds if it can be avoided. Cheers. RockS.

Isn't two weeks too much? This is exactly what I want to know, but if they're so fast I'm afraid they will get ready so soon that I'll miss the flowering nuts time...

I totally agree with trimming lower branches actually. but if u have the space you shouldnt trim what is already there. This is common sense. What I do, is cut the top cola and let the popcorn buds grow bigger before harvest. This makes leaving the lower branches on ALOT more useful. This is something I have done, I am not making things up. If you have a small space and alot of plants in that space like I do on this grow, it is VERY useful to cut your plant in the way he did. You need to be able to see under the plants to water. Also the lower leaves dont even get any light. In my opinion it depends on the situation, however in general I would keep it natural (see my blog). I normally dont post things I read, I try to post things I experience.

P.S. If you don't want an arguement try not to say im wrong straight up like that, my brain goes into evolutionary monkey mode. I become programmed to kill the second I read it. LOL

Trimming doesnt herm plants, unless you decide to rip off leaves with ur bare hands or something. Herming only comes in really intense stressful situations. One of mine in my last grow hermed because of LST. (i think i did something wrong). take a look at todays blog I wrote it about hermies.

ok i will ask I did have a auto ak47 x blueberry but it was a male so i pulled it out and its all choped up in the compost bin so its too late but some one has said this

what ever you do do not kill the male off. Keep it flowering till its almost ready to pop its pollin sacks. When its ready to do that harvest them.

am I missing something why would i whant Males in the grow room to produce seeds instead of buds.?

that is weird where did u hear that? I have never heard someone tell me to do that. I mean if u accidentally bump one of the males it will open and mess ur crop up. I know that for sure. Seems like the guy who said that may have a good idea but isnt explaining it right.

EDIT: I think he is referring to the fact u can collect the male pollen, and use it to pollinate the females on later grows. Maybe? thats the only reason I see that you should keep males around.

hey riddle i need help. check out the thread i just started
https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/326015-leaf-problems-ive-done-my.html

My first grow and I cant find any info on Pakistan Ryder or Il Diavolo as far as feeding schedule and lighting. I have herard folks saying to use 20/4 for light or 18/6 for light. Gh Floranova grow and bloom, Koolbloom, Botanicare cal mag plus and great white microzyme are on hand I'm thinking dwc bubble or cocogro 6"-8" cubes. Is there anyone who has experience with these strains?
-2 yieldmaster a/c hoods
-1000 watt hps
-1000 watt hortlux blue
-Got tds meter and plenty of ph solution
-been starting sprouts in rapid rooters and cocoplugs

I have been testrunning 2 dwc boxes and some soil with bag seeds, I feel like I have been pretty succesful thus far but I can't get a professional oppinion because i ccan't figure out how to upload my pics and just like a first time parent I have plenty!

Sup normalguy.. Umm wot is it that u want info on?

U sound like u got all the right equipment down.
As for lighting, that's the same for all MJ, except maybe autoflowers, which is wot I think u have, which can take any light cycle..
I'm not reliable on auto flower info, but I think 18/6 is best.. But make sure u check it out.
As for feed sched, MJ is mostly the same, small variances in nute strength tolereances which u have to work out urself really.

How can I add humidity to my 3x3x4 grow box without a humidifier. Its only about 27% right now, day 31 on autoflowers under 400hps?

Use an electric crock pot.... (10ltr slow cooker) - fill it with water place on low and let it go = Cheap mans humidifier

Nice thread by the way SL ! - one act of random kindness a day

Crockpot is def one way (but could add a small bit of heat) other ways are a bowl/pan fillled with rocks and water in front of a fan, and another is to hang a towell in front of a fan that has one end in a bowl of water

Thanks guys, you are some creative dudes. I'm gonna try the bowl of water in front of the fan first. What is the ideal humidity? Around 40-50%?

50-60% would be better with temps around 26 - 27 degree celcius.
