Hi fellow grower & cultivators! In the middle of my first indoor grow and outdoor grow. Next step cloning & flowering! What a fun, therapeutic hobby. Grow on.

Hi friends, I'm new here! Just finishing up my first indoor grow with the second already started. What a learning experience this is! Anyways, hope to meet some people who I can learn from, I've been silently reading the site for a good 5 months now, it's about time I signed up and started participating.

Sweet...always nice to have more female presence... have you already harvested, if not what color are your trichomes?
Do you have a setup for drying your ladies? Tip: use a few mesh laundry hampers and hang them horizontally from the corners, these are similar to the expensive ones sold for drying herbs. I made one for myself and it worked out great, picked it up from Target.
Oh and what strain is its?

Indeed it is, growing various plants still amazes me each and every time.

Not sure if you have any pest management, but there was a great podcast that had tons of info on preventing mites, etc.

Hosts are so so, but the guests are top in their field. Gets interesting at the 36 min mark.

Why thank you! I haven't harvested yet- My one plant is a blue dream, I got the clone at a dispensary on New years day. I think I should be okay to harvest next Saturday, but open to suggestions of course. I think I will try your drying idea though, I don't have anything set up for drying as of now. Whatever supplies I will need for harvest need to be bought or ordered today since I won't be home a few days. These pictures are 3 days old. You think next Saturday is accurate?

nice Blue Dream is one of my faves and yours are looking great.
As for when to harvest its a little hard to tell from the pics since they weren't too sharp, probably not enough light if you were using your cell camera. Judging by the color of the pistils and I'd say you are nearly there.
Do you have a magnifying glass or microscope? If not I would try to take some additional close up bud pictures at the max megapixel setting of the camera during your light cycle.
Be sure to take a few random locations since buds can mature at different times, then look at the pictures on the computer so you can zoom in and see what color the trichomes are.

Another option to drying would be to hang them in your grow room if you have enough air circulation and don't plan on turning the room over for another grow, best part is its already dark and maintains a certain temperature which should be between 65-75 F, humidity is crucial as well, 45-55% https://www.rollitup.org/t/best-temp-n-humidity-for-drying-curing.332993/.
If your using a circulation fan, then they are ok but never direct the air at the drying buds, instead point it in the opposite direction to create an indirect breeze.

Here are some pics from my drying rack to give you an idea, I used some nylon line with a good strength and plant ties in between the racks, alternatively you can have two separate ones instead of having them stacked. I did it this way since I didn't have space to hang it anywhere but outside inside of a large cardboard box using a rod to hang from.

What's going on guys? New to RIU as well as the West Coast. Just got set up to get some indoor going. I'll try not to bombard the OG's of the site with a bunch of questions . If I did this signature thingy right, you should be able to see the strains I got going.

Hey everyone! New here, thought I'd share with you my plans for this upcoming journey of mine.

I decided on growing hydroponically (with bubbleponics and top feed) in a 3x3' vivosun tent using scrog. Under a 600w LED Viparspectra, I will custom make the hydroponics system from scratch. I still have a lot to research, and my top questions yet to be answered are:

-How many plants is ideal for a beginner to grow hydroponically in a 3x3' space? From what I've researched, it seems that just one is best and to just scrog it.

-What is the ideal depth for the container so that the roots can grow the strongest? Do I need a deep 2' container? Or can I just use anything shallow under a 1' deep?

Thanks for everything guys, you seriously rock.

Hey y'all! Just thought I'd say hi! I'm new to the forums and I'm about to start my first grow journal! Currently I'm growing Tutankhamon, Ayuahuasca Purple, and Sugar Black Rose! This is my first grow, in shoot..15 years..LOL I had a rough start but I think they are doing alright now! I look forward to the advice and comments I get!

I started my journal! Hope you guys check it out!

Can't really tell yet. If a white pistil comes out of that ball it's female. Give it a few more days. Is that white mold powder on the leaves?

I don't think it's mold its already producing resin

Hey! I've spent, uh, three days reading rollitup almost non-stop. I'm waiting for five ppp seeds in the mail. I ordered them after nonchalantly dropping a random pot seed on my house plant and it sprouted. Now I've transplanted it and am enjoying every little aspect of this early journey. I'm a transplant myself having moved from one coast to mid country. OMG I HAVE NO CONNECTIONS. I can't take it anymore! I'm going to grow and love every minute of it! Thank you all for the knowledge and help. Love this website.

I hope to do a journal as soon as i can. things are going well with grow so far. trying not to make too many newbie mistakes and kill these pretty girls. I am feeling especially proud of myself today after putting together my first cob array.
I hope to be suucessfull at growing my medicine and learning how to utilize all that that this weed can give.

Hi all, I'm Phenomenawesome and I'm new here.

Some history about me and excuse the length but I think it may be helpful to anyone that has gone down this road. Long story long here it is. I'm creeping on 40, smoked all through high school, get into harder stuff in my 20s but smoked occasionally. I quit due to an acute onset of repeated paranoia, likely due to the 'hard stuff' that I would then be highly addicted to. I got 'sober' in 2008, went to college became a software professional, but deal with chronic pain and anxiety so went to methadone rather than something abuse heavy like Oxycodone which I had abused already. My wife smoked bud our whole marriage (8 years) but I was always afraid that I would get the "haven't smoked in a long time paranoia".

So finally fed up with Methadone side effects and Xanax for anxiety, Protonix for stomach acid and Gabapentin/Baclofen for muscle and back pain as well.
All of the medications wrecked my testosterone and we haven't been able to conceive children. Not to mention all of the damage to my kidneys etc.
It's just been horrible with big pharma running my life.

So what happened? I tried a hit of bud about 6 months ago because I couldn't sleep and needed to. I was amazed that instantly after hitting the pipe and before the effects even take place the pain is knocked out almost immediately!! Now with the ability to smoke some sativa heavy hybrid if in a good safe place or some GDP for anxiety and I'm ditching the other medications. I'm weening off of them now and starting to grow my own medicine. Bring it back to nature and have some beautiful kids of our own. All while connecting with nature, new hobby and saving about $1000 a month between myself and my wife. Win, win, win win IMO

I'm excited to meet you all and let's do this!!
