I got a great yield from my first grow but, i had some troubles and ended up veg for 8 weeks. The potency wasn't high enough and i know that is due to the troubles and less than optimal conditions. I've reviewed my setup and methods and made some improvements. This next time I'm going to try...

Any pointers or tips on the actual chop and on how buds should be trimmed? Tools, methods whatever I might not be aware of or thought about.

Just got a new Hannah phep meter and was wondering am I supposed to calibrate the thing before use? The instructions are kind of vague and after getting the same basic reading from my drops it then varied by 2.5-3 points. Also didn't realize I needed storage or calibration solution.

My first grow is finishing within about a week. I'm already looking forward to the next grow. I'm in the south and during the winter the temps sometimes spike.high sixties low seventies means I'm above 80° at canopy with no ac and cross vent. It spiked here recently and I put the ac on set...

Was just reviewing SubCool's thread on trichs and harvest windows. The pics were the best I've seen yet but I'm still a little confused/uncertain. I don't want to be knocked out when I smoke but sativas and sat doms have seemed to me in the past to be to light. That's speaking as a consumer...

Are the $100 + light bulbs really advised? I got a dual 400w tube and I'm looking for bulbs. I'm thinking a cheapo mh and two son agro 430w for $40 on eBay. I've heard folks talk about hortilux but, gee $$. The no names that came with the lights seem to have worked well. What's the call...

How mch can you get int a 1/2 gl mason jar? What do you bigger growers use besides jars to cure in? plastic buckets maybe ? I bought 3 hygrometers 1 per plant. I dont want to buy more..

Does hanging give a better and/or faster result than those tiered nets? It's near harvest time and i want to start the next run right away so I'll be short on space.

Does one start counting the days from the flip or from the first appearance of flowers?

I'm 36 days from the flip. Should there be much yellowing ? Both my stains (cotton candy, stawberry blue) are, particularly in the middle directly under the light. I've also got some browning edges, tips and spots(cc). I consulted mj garden saver and chalked up thebrowning to a pk...

I've just put my 3 plants into flower. 2 delicious seeds cotton candy and a world of seeds strawberry blue. the sb is the star but, the cc are looking great too. I had a lot of problems and the growth of all three was stunted for a while. I think it was an n deficiency though I'm running...

the old lady has begged me not to post pics so im forgoing a journal but, I need to gripe. the girls are looking good. a twist tie did cut the main, affectively topping one plant though. so I fimmed the other two. between that and the lst they are doing well. they could be greener so I've...

reading over the guides and sticky there is no mention of when to start lst. "I assume there must be some height to the plant. 4 nodes maybe?.. 6"or so? My plants are approaching 2 wks on the 26 and looking good. I've got 4 1/2' of height so I'd like to bush the plants out and maybe even...

I've made some corrections after killing the strains I bought from herbies and I'm on to the freebies. I popped 3 and they are looking great. they are 1 strawberry blue from world of seeds and 2 delicious seeds cotton candy. any word on what to expect in my grow (appetite, flower times) and...

under my 400w cool tube the temp is 85 degrees. I've got a 435 cfm fan exhausting at the top of the closet door and my intake down low. the temp of the intake is 71 degrees. my question is.. how low do most keep there intake temps? it seems that to keep temps around 78 id have to keep it...

I have 2 lsd seeds that have sprouted but, are now wilting. they are in party cups with 70/30 coco/perlite under a 1200 lumen cfl. temps at 85 and humidity is at 50. Initially I saturated the cups and I've been keeping the surface moist. should I place zip locks over the cups? do I need more...

I've been lurking for years and I've accumulated just about everything I need to finally get things poppin (with help from MPers). I've read a lot and checked out plenty of other sites and videos but MP feels like home. I'm in a new state and part of adjusting has been getting used to the...

my lady has graciously allowed me to finally use the equipment I've gathered as single guy for my first grow. she has even been cool about the fact that it has grown beyond the original agreed upon parameters. what she does have a problem with is the posting of pictures. I'm afraid I haven't...

I've heard it said that the size of ones passive intake should be double that of the exhaust so as not to stress the fans motor. Does this ring true with experienced growers? I'm thinking 6" exhaust and 4" intake.

what happened to nuevell chef and his "silence of the fans"? it was the best fan box/noise contol diy ive ever seen online. i know it was pre crash but, is he around?
