    Bubblelicious & White Widow

    One week passed by, lots of stuff going on, both work and off-work related. My girls are looking better than ever at the end of this 5th week. Nutrients were switched to 55%/45% grow/bloom at the beginning of the last week, and lights turned to 12/12, because I was worried about them getting way...

    Bubblelicious & White Widow

    Started from seed. I don't have the patience nor the time to keep clones for such a long time :) Good to see you around, Joe!

    Bubblelicious & White Widow

    Hello all you guys, Hope all has been well. Just got home and took a pic of my plants on their end of 4th veg week. I'm thinking leaving them one more before switching on to 12/12, but I hope they just won't get extremely big. What do you think? Because of the fast growth I experienced...

    CFL,HPS,BOTH? indoor grow setup help

    I suggest starting the plants on CFLs, in their first 3 weeks (or MH if you can/want to). After that move to HPS. The HPS doesn't cover the white/blue spectrum of light, which promotes foliar growth and root development; think of the CFLs/MH as being the spring, and with the HPS, you bring the...

    Bubblelicious & White Widow

    Hello everybody, First of all, thanks for dropping by. I'm currently growing 3 plants: 2 Nirvana Bubblelicious and 1 (supposedly) White Widow. All of them are 3 weeks into vegging (now beginning of 4th), applied Uncle Ben's 4 tops technique about a week ago. All the plants were 6-7 nodes big...

    Home made 250W HPS grow box

    Haha yeah Joe that's kind of the case. I've been involved with a series of projects at work during the last 2 months, but it's been good. Mostly. My bublelicious yielded about 40g dry, no topping and no nothing applied. About 5g were discarded because they caught mold during the jarring process...

    Flowering/Vegging/Harvest

    Usually it's best to keep the plant in veg until preflowers appear and/or leaves start alternating. From that point on, they can be flowered. Keeping them longer in veg will grow bigger plants, but it all depends on the time you have :) 3-4 weeks is the minimum time you should give your babies...

    Nirvana Seeds Seized by US Customs

    Just as a side-note, buying/selling/keeping cannabis seeds is not a criminal offense as they don't contain any THC (you need to check that for your state), but these fuckers look like they don't have anything better to do than confiscate some plant seeds...sorry to hear about it. Make another...

    my first plant my first time

    Welcome is in order :) About your plant, it's looking good mate, very good :) Looks like you know your way around growing. Either that, or you read a whole lot on growing before attempting it yourself. Keep up the good work either way and let us know how it smokes when it's done. I assume it's...

    SCROG HELP NEEDED! quick question

    Flowering/Vegging/Harvest

    Figure out the strain you're using and check people feedback...others must have grown it, to get an idea on a specific strain. But usually you want to stick with 7-8 weeks in flower for indicas and 9-10 for sativas. So use that as a base schedule and calculate on times based on that. If they...

    SCROG HELP NEEDED! quick question

    Hi there, Your questions seem a bit odd, but I'll answer nevertheless: 1. ideally the temps should be constant; however, due to the environment temps, a 4-5 degree (C) deviation is acceptable; humidity should be 40-70% in veg, and less than 40% in flower, to prevent bud mold. 2. see #1 3...

    Do hps lamps get weaker over time?

    Change that bulb. Most HPS lights come with the recommendation that you change them at least once a year, because of performance decrease. For a pretty decent light, once a year is enough. But no more, because as you found out yourself, the lumen output decreases and the plants won't grow as...

    Flowering/Vegging/Harvest

    Howdy mate! Well what you're asking is kinda general, these answers depend on strain and conditions you can provide. Oh, also the setup. An indica generally takes about 2-3 months from seed to harvest (3-4 weeks vegging + 7-8 weeks flower). If you have an auto, you can get away with 2 months I...

    is my plant wilting and dying?

    Overwatering...the pots you're using are similar to what I'm using (assuming they are 3 gallons) and I used to water my plants only once a week when they were that size...cut back on the watering and get a moisture meter. One of those you stick in the ground is what I'm using, it has 2 metallic...

    Help - 5 Weeks old plant dying thanks to a heatwave!

    If you can get a hold of some ruderalis seeds, you'll be more than happy! They're waay more resistant to high/low temps and shouldn't have a problem with your climate. You'll also benefit from a shorter flower time :) That is, if you don't want to wait a couple more months. Sorry to hear about...

    Is This Plant Healthy?

    depends on how many lights you already got on it :) You said you're going with 13W, so I'd recommend a minimum of 4 and a max of 8. But I'd suggest first get better bulbs (20-23W at least); about 4 of the 13W output barely 3K lumens, if even, where as 4 pieces of the 23W will get you to a near...

    Home made 250W HPS grow box

    Howdy guys, Just dropping an update. After a few days of HPS activity and cool up/down I've collected a few stats. So, temps are around 36 (C) with the grow room open, otherwise they stay at about 32-33 and that is for the top of the plants. I've placed my thermometer in the HPS lighting area...
