    vacation watering solution?

    Going away for 5 days and the plants start to look pretty sad after 3 days without liquid refreshment. Will they be ok (they're in 5 gallon pots, about 6 weeks into 12/12) or should I start to look at pumps or other ways to feed the plants? Maybe a 2nd, outer pot around the first with some water...

    Clones in LIMBO

    I started 3 clones from a known female 3 weeks ago and they simply aren't growing but they're not dying, either. I used Olivia's cloning gel and placed the cuttings in peat pellets. They've been under a CFL bulb with humidity tents on 'em but, again, no progress but no dying, either. I think if...

    water cure

    Had some outdoor stuff and was curious about water curing, so I went ahead and risked it... I'm sure someone else has posted about the process, but I took the pix so I figured I'd post 'em. I started with 175 grams of just-harvested outdoor bud and put them in a 5-gallon bucket I normally use to...

    how much leaf do you need?

    to make the effort and hassle worthwhile? I've got 2 indoor plants and 2 outdoor plants. Assuming I use all foliage, including bud trim, will that make it worth my while (I'm assuming fan leaves are ok to use)? thanks:confused:

    CFL harvest begins

    THe tops are more mature than the lower branches so I'm working my way down the plant. THe bud in pic #2 weighed about 10g (wet) before manicuring. I dried some smaller bud in the microwave and am liking it...thanks for all the help:D

    Pre-Harvest questions!!

    Remember, this is my first time..:o My plants are getting close. N Lights #5, about 22 days into 12/12. By the numbers: 1). my book says to stop ferts 2 weeks prior to harvest. How do I know 2 weeks in advance when I'll harvest??? 2). I'm giving 'em molasses as well as ferts. Can I continue...

    flowering pix, advice?

    Two gals 17 days into 12/12. Everything look OK to the experts? I'm using FF Tiger Bloom. Does anyone think I should add any of the other FF stuff, or anything else in general? Thanks!:)

    Hermie, or noob error?

    Check the pix. The plants are about 1 week into flower. Anyway, before going to work I look at the plants every AM just to double-check everything. THis morning I see what looks like a male pre-flower on an otherwise female plant. I didn't have time to go over the whole plant and I was afraid...

    flowering questions

    2 days into flower, 3 ladies. Finally killed the boys...good riddance. Northern lights about 6 weeks after germ. 1). My book says I should flush the pots, which I did during the last (and every) transplant. Should I do it again, and how much is enough? 2). book also says to "mist" the...

    Tragic LST accident injures 1

    The pic says it all. :eek: I wasn't being rough, just bending it a little. My only consolation is that this is an outdoor plant that I put outdoors b/c it was the runt of the litter anyway...but it was looking good!!! #$%^&*%#%#-er!!! These things break pretty easy. THe remaining plant is maybe...

    more newb questions FIM/LST and pots

    Does anyone out there think these plants could be LST'd? THey're already pretty bushy and I don't see bending them over. If I top or FIM them will they get even more short and squat? I'm lovin they way they are now but do want to maximize yield when the time finally comes. Also, will the pots be...

    tell me if this is a bad idea

    If you have to ask if it's a bad idea, it's probably a bad idea, right?:confused: Anyway ,I'm moving 2 plants from indoor to outdoor b/c of limit space in my grow area. In the pics you see 2 plants hanging in pots on a fence amidst grapevines. I think they're 3 gallon pots. On the other side...

    when to switch to 12/12?

    Maybe this is a dumb question. Do I wait for the plant to show it's sex then go to 12/12, or do I go to 12/12 to make it declare it's sex? THe plants are 24 days from germ. About 9 inches tall, maybe a foot wide, really bushy. The 3 in pic are the best of the lot; there are 4 others. Northern...

    compact fluorescents

    Hi all- first time wannabe grower here. I'm wondering if anyone out there has had/heard of success with strictly CFL lighting? My space is small, I'm using 2x 125 w daylight spectrum CFL's. Space is 36"wide, 16" deep, 4 feet high. Began germinating northern lights last PM (paper towel method)...
