9.67 ounces from 4 White Skunk Feminized Auto-Flowers (SensiSeeds) from seed to grave in 12 weeks. 600W HPS, 100% Coco Coir medium, tap water, sod the PH, unmeasured nutrients bombarded. This is what I like to call the blunderbuss approach

Oh I see - I haven't ever had the experience of hermaphrodite plants - growing from feminised seed perhaps I have just got lucky in not having had a dodgy one yet?

That's what its all about my friend. The more you know, the better you grow. Pharmacists aint got nothing on us.

This is interesting and I assume the cause? I treat my grow in a clinical fashion, and prevention is better than cure. Very nice looking bush you got there.

I'd point to bag-seed as one potential issue, the Russian Roulette of growing. When you're going to all the effort of growing anyway, I personally think its better to invest in a tried, tested and good quality strain from the off so you have some basic level of expectation in terms of growing...

The beautiful thing about "weed" is that it is a weed by name, and a weed by nature. As my dad once told me (the only useful bit of advice he ever gave me) - "It WANTS to grow". Mine go in rockwool cubes under a propagator and CFL for a few days - even when I have bashed the propagate with my...

Well that looks very nice indeed.

Take it from me it won't at all. The water is hard as nails in my area and my ladies love it. It's only what they'd get if they were growing outside anyway...

Well a cursory glance at that article and I think its safe to say we all know that is nothing but a load of old flange. This kind of assuming bilge will never be debunked all the while cannabis remains a clandestine issue not covered by science and pharmaceutical research - but I think even the...

I am afraid I do not know what RH means :) Regional Humidity? At a guess - and if that is the case, I do live in an extremely dry part of the UK (Officially marked at risk of desertification no less) so perhaps that's why they love it so much?

My mantra is that PH is a load of old nonsense on anything other than a hydro set up - mine are watered with hard tap water with only nutrients in it (unmeasured at that) and look pretty healthy I'd say. The "watered by weight" thing is interesting, and I would predict that may be your problem...

I could see how the bin liner principle could work, the darkness being the simulation of the descent into winter, ergo, time to flower. However, I seriously doubt that would do much for the plant and its never ever going to be any better than simply switching to a flower cycle on your lamp. If...

I am curious as to general thoughts on the misting of plants, given that many talk about high humidity as posing problems. I personally mist mine during vegetation to absurdly liberal levels, drenching them 5-6 times a day with a full spray bottle of mist, and them seem to absolutely love it. I...

They all look very healthy to me, very green and the curling all suggests to me its a classic case of borderline over-feeding. I'd be somewhat suprised though given your feeding cycle. I personally feed every time I water, but stick to a 2-3 day cycle as and when the medium has fully drained...

Looks okay to me, I have had asymmetry on seedlings before and the odd runt, but in the end they seem to manage. Just keep an eye out for stretchy weak stems, they're a bigger problem than malformed leaves in my opinion.

Might not be that helpful but: 1) Why ever bother with autoflowers when switching a lamp's timer over is super easy and gives you control over your preferred vegging period? I have been told that autoflowers produce lower yields, though have no evidence to back that up. 2) I just buy feminised...

That sounds like a reasonable set up on the face of it, although I am yet to convert to LED's I am utterly convinced they are the way forward. I think on balance they have a slightly more concentrated coverage compared to their HPS equivalents (in terms of output). I am currently operating a...

Absolutely no candy - leave your last two weeks for a total flush with pure water and no nutrients. You must let the bud finish synthesising all of the nutrients to obtain both the best growth and to avoid any chemical retention in the flower head. If you continue to use nutrients you will...

The principles of bud suggests to me that anything other than hand-trimming is a detriment to your final product. All of the best quality products in the world are made and finished by hand. In the context of Afghanistani weed plantations - they tumble the buds to shake off the trichomes to...

I am no expert but I apply basic grandma gardening principles, when the lower shade leaves are starting to yellow, they've done all they can do for the plant and just become a detriment. At this point anyway, I'd say around even 50% yellowing of any one leaf, they usually just fall away with a...
