    Adios, Amigos

    I had a knock on the door from the local porcine patrol yesterday. Seems they had an anonymous tip about some plants growing in my garage. Long story short, they found the grow op, left with some vegetative matter and tore down my setup like Elliot Ness used to bust up breweries with goons...

    Will these rescue an over-dried crop?

    I let my buds hang-dry a little too long (they're up from 50% to about 55% rh now that they've been in the jars for a week). I just read about a humidifying device called Drymistat Humidifier Tube that looks like it might revivatate 'em. Anyway, I ordered a few. Anybody have any experience...

    Over-dried, I think. Any way to fix it?

    I hung my trimmed buds (still on stems) on kite string clotheslines in a closed, dark tent with good ventilation but no air blowing directly on the plants right after cutting them down. RH in the tent was a steady 50%, temp 80F to 85F. After about 5 days, the stems were bending with a slight...

    Best RH for cured bud?

    OK, My first grow is harvested, trimmed, dried on the "clothesline" for a week (Breaks, but not a full snap) and stored in mason jars. I have one of those stick rh/temp meters tucked into one of the jars, move it around every day, and burp jars for about 1 hour/day. Rh has been a pretty steady...

    Did they hermie

    So I harvested today, and I notice that at least one plant has buds that are loose and internal structure is like a cluster of grapes. Are these males? The other plants have tight buds, no "grapes". The buds in question are very sticky & strong smell - if they are males, are they still good...

    Best USB Scope?

    I've got a Zorb USB microscope that takes nice sharp pics, but it's only 30X, not enough to get a good idea of the state of the trichomes. Anybody know of a better USB scope that goes to at least 60X? I have a pocket 60X-100X scope that shows the trichomes nicely, but can't take pics through...

    30X USB Scope - Enough to say go/no-go?

    So, these were taken with a Zorb USB camera. Through the 100X pocket scope, they're 75% cloudy. Can anyone comment on these pics? More importantly, can anyone suggest a higher-resolution USB cam? Thanks!:peace:

    Lights or no lights when flushing?

    Please, somebody help a noob...... my girls are ready to harvest, trichomes say so. This is a hydro ebb/flow system. I need to flush to make sure bud burns and tastes right. So I figure run it three to five days on straight ph water. But what about lights??? Many say you want darkness...

    Trichomes say they're ready; questions on flushing & light

    This was accidentally posted in a sticky:oops:, Re-posted here. I'm at the end of my first grow, and just now figured out how to use my little pocket scope to view trichomes on my ladies (six G13 Haze, ebb/flood, Hydroton, 1000W HPS, etc, ten weeks into flower). Great jumpin Jehoshaphat!!! I...

    Germination: Paper Towel vs Rapid Rooter Root Riot Germination Pellets

    I'm getting ready to start a new generation from seed, and I have two questions. 1. Is there any special advantage to using the pellets rather than the paper towel method? Last run, I popped the seeds in paper towels, moved them to 1" rockwool cubes,then into 4" rockwool embedded in a tray of...

    Nervous Newbie - Are these ladies ready?

    I know I'm at least the 10,000th newbie to post this question, but how close are these ladies to being ready to cut? After two months in veg (grown from Attitude seeds) under 24/0 T5, they've now been under 1000W HPS 12/12 for 60 days, getting full-on GH nutes 3X/day in an ebb/flow table...

    Mutant behavior

    Hi, Y'all - I have a couple dozen clones all taken from G13 Haze mothers, and just this one is behaving like it's Bizarro Weed. It started out OK, then I topped it, and then one of two main branches that followed turned yellow and withered for no obvious reason. What's left is what you see in...

    Running Out of Headroom

    Hey, y'all - This is my first grow, so I'm pretty much hitting all the bases for newbie mistakes:dunce:. Problem: I have six G13 Haze that were in veg for 2 months, about 18" when I transplanted them to the bloom tent. They are in a 2X4 flood table, in 4" Grodan cubes set into Hydroton...

    Feminized seeds - do they always produce female plants?

    I've had five plants in the bloom tent for about two weeks, and flowers are starting to pop. So far, they all look female - yellow tendrils coming out of a small yellow fuzzball, pics to follow. They were all grown from seed; G13 Haze Feminized from Barney's Farm, via Attitude. Big...

    Crop or Top? Got a Tall Girl in the Tent

    One of the 5 girls in my 4X4X8 grow tent has grown twice as tall as the others. Her top parts are crisping on the cool tube and her sisters are too far from the light (1000W HPS). They've been in bloom light cycle for about a week, no flowers showing yet. I'm concerned that if I crop her...

    Gorilla in the Grow Tent

    Hey, y'all - I've got six ladies in the bloom tent, doing well under a 1000W HPS. Problem is, one of them is a complete gorilla, growing fast and nearly twice as high as the others. Top leaves are burning where they touch the cool tube. There really isn't enough real estate in the tray for...
