    I'm About to Give Up on Cloning

    nice range for buds... not so much for the little guys. they live on humidity until the roots grow. Also higher temps/humidity on your mothers will make bigger/fatter leafs for your clones. Also if veg/cloning areas have the same temp/humidity this lessen the shock. I have found if you leave...

    Grow Tent Club

    looks like some thick nugs It helps if you get a 5x or stronger eye glass... but you can still see the tricones. once they flip amber about 50% or more your good just take your time drying proly 3w min IMO

    well it must be getting h2o and nutrients from somewhere.... foliar feeding or high humidity may do this

    Going hermi in late stages of flowering (help)

    how far will pollen travel in the air? well that would depend on air movement. For a male your not worried about mold to much or heat stress just get it to finish with 12/12. If you just want to collect pollen you can put little baggies with rubber bands over a male bud to catch the pollen in...

    whoa! switched from 400 to 1200 what's going on?!

    More light needs more ventilation. Also check soil temps or use reflective material. Also make drip irrigation system on timer to feed plants regularly like 2 or 3 times while the light is on.

    Harvest Tomorrow???

    I dont see amber heads on the tricomes, they will come its worth the wait. Are any fan leaves looking funny like ? Usually a plant will drop a few of the fans or they will will show some signs of withering when it is done. You can harvest the tops then and wait to take the rest later after first...

    T5 Flourescents w/ Random Bagseed & Miracle-Grow Organic soil (+rep for reply!)

    you can keep them in the cups quite a while especially if you top them for 4 main colas, but figure on a 5gal bucket to finish them. If you need to adjust the soil PH, with plants in it,just use PH corrected H2O or blend the soil mix before the plants are in the soil. When they get in the 5gal...

    What is the optimal huidity percetage?

    higher humidity makes bigger and larger fan leaves, especially in hot environments. low humidity is desired to stop mold, and it grows less leafy buds.

    Flowering: 2700K or 3000K?

    Veg is when we mimic the summer or spring time with longer days with the Sun directly over head this gives the higher range closer to blue like 4000K+ That range works best for roots and branching. My clones thrive under only 5700k. Flowering is when we mimic winter time with shorter days and...

    Nice Work Did you notice a color change in the trichomes? 8weeks flower is short but im not used to that strain. It looks like you had plenty or a excess of nitrogen in the last days, as your plants were very green, did you do a plain water flush for the last 3 days? It can be hard to time it...
