Thanks LF, an interesting idea with the fan. i've already done something similar with the insecticide ive got as i didnt want to coat the plants as im so far into flowering. when people say soap im abit confused, are we talking a bar of soap that we wash our hands with? or washing up liquid that...

hi PH, i know you speak the truth in that i should start again but sadly thats not an option as i have to be out of there in the next 3-4 weeks so im doing my best to salvage something/anything for all my efforts. strange thing is the buds are big and dense and still seem to be swelling in size...

lol thanks d3, thats exactly what i thought but in using what lil time i have with them checking for hermies i neglected the bug checking and its those that have got me. Thanks 4 the link Jericho, yeah i know the tric method is a better method, just where im quite new to this so never had a...

hi Jericho, Pencilhead. I've got a 30x lupe on order and should be with me in a few days so that should tell me what stage their at. i've always gone with the 2 thirds of pistols being brown as my guide 2 harvest. problem is i seem to be lacking any pistols! i guess where i've got very unsticky...

thanks 4 the advice, excuse my grammer im on a phone browser. im not sure what they are but from what i've read i dont think their mites as i've not seen any webs anywhere. just loads of lil brown flea sized things fall out the foilage when i handle it.. i guess all im trying to do is lessen the...

Well im sure we've all had thoughts when we're stoned about what might or might not be the case and I was just wondering if anyone thinks there's any truth in this: Should a plant be stressed for say a week, would it add another week onto the veg/flowering time? Just im at week 9 flowering...

Hi All, Leading on from my other post about bugs (mites or aphids) are attacking my plant in sheer numbers, stressing them so that they've stopped producing trichs. Im in week 9 of flowering but want to give them another 2 weeks. So i've sprayed my plant with some organic fruit & veg...

Thanks 2Dog - I can only hope! btw congrats on the bud pic of the month, she looks a beauty.

Cheers umbra - least thats 1 set of thumbs up to carrying on. I've no idea on how to make bubble but i've also got space/time limitations so im just hoping to make some bong food :) btw the buds are actually still increasing in size and im only now starting to see some lil pistols among the...

Just wondering if anyone else has managed to get anything smokeable from plants in a similar state to mine? Would anyone recommend I switch back to light nutes? (been flushing for last 3 feeds) and if I get the bug problem sorted out, grow them out for another 2-3 weeks? (12-13 total...

Hi 2Dog, Thanks for the crystal tip. I tend to give them 'just enough' water each visit, when I first se run off thats when I stop. I haven't measured the PH for a while but I know the water going in tends to be around 6.5. I think you could be right in that I don't think they enjoyed being let...

75% of the leaves have just about had it.. They yellow'd up around week 6 and never really recovered, I think they've been slightly under watered at times as well due to the long distance. Last time I try a remote site grow again! As for the remaining leafs, they look healthy enough and no...

Thanks 2Dog, thats what I was hoping for.. Hopefully the spray will do the trick and i'll give them another week or so. Fingers crossed! Here's a few other pics, not great quality im afraid.

:( My white queen's have been going for 9 weeks now and due to some heat and watering issues they got stressed a few times so was never expecting a normal yield. Problem is in the last week or so i've noticed they stopped packing on any trichs and i've got next to no pistols showing anywhere...

61 days flowering but gotta switch the lights off before the chop. Due to a few bouts of bad stress through the grow im just happy they made it and gave me something. Im a bit worried by the lack of trichs on the lower stuff but the tops are reasonable enough. Im also a bit worried by the lack...
