    How much longer till chop?! Jack frost (jack herer x white widow x NL #5)

    You could chop now, or soon, but I think you'd be cheating yourself a bit. Looks great for a first grow, but I'd say you could give them another two weeks or so. The leaves are still green and very healthy looking, which leads me to believe that the plant still has some fattening up to do. In...

    Botanicide imminent

    You've come this far, don't try to cut corners or rush things now.Give them ample drying time, no "quick dry" BS, trim them nicely and give it a good two week(minimum) cure before smoking. The final stages are just as important as anything you do throughout the growing process. If you try to...

    My Buds seem small......2nd time grower needing Help!!!

    First thing is to not "calculate" when they'll be done. They're done when they're done,period. If you stick with it, they'll fatten up nicely in the next two to three weeks provided you don't rush things. A big thing, one of the first things I learned, is that when you think the plant is ready...

    Harvest Curing

    Like growing, it's all about patience. You've come this far, at harvest, and now you want to cut corners and speed things up? Big mistake. Trimming is easy, just no way to really speed that up unless you have a friend help. Curing is just as important as good lighting, decent nutrients, etc. If...

    sexing time

    Depending on the maturity of the plant(s), could be three days to two weeks, possibly more.

    Cannabutter

    Sounds like it may be a bit underpowered. I don't waste my good bud on butter, I just use shake and trimmings but will usually use 20-30 grams per quarter pound of butter, usually actually using about a stick and a quarter to compensate for some loss. Being that you're using bud it may very well...

    Pre-flower????

    No, nowhere near ready yet. The pistils are still all white, and the bud is still relatively thin. That thing looks like it's going to fatten up very nicely for you though. Patience is key, you've got another solid three to four weeks on that IMO, but looks very nice.

    Misting buds during flowering ????

    You can still mist them, provided you have a fair amount of airflow. Plants outside get rained on while in flowering, and usually a lot more moisture gets to the inside than it will just from misting them. If your temps aren't too cold and you have decent air movement, mist away, just don't soak...

    Seed is sprouting...

    Seeds don't need or want light, that can actually slow down the germination process. Tupperware isn't the best either if you have the lid on it, better of just on a wet plate or something so the seeds stay damp but not soaked. Also, plant your sprout taproot down for quicker rooting. It will...

    Nutes

    Typically you don't want to feed any nutrients untill at least 3-4 weeks old, depending on your medium. If you're using soil, that can vary depending on the type of soil and what may or may not already be in it. If you're doing hydro, I can't say because I'm a soil guy. Others may be able to...

    autoflower question!

    Don't go by "should have been done by". The plant will be done when it's done,period. There is no such thing as a true 60 day finish, or 45 day finish, too many variables in play when growing. The plant will be done when it's done.

    How Bad is it? Help

    Nice looking Sativa. Hope you have about another two months time for them to finish properly. Love Sativas, but damn they take forever.

    early sexing of plants?

    Some go 12/12 from seed just for that reason. Personally, I prefer mature plants that show sex naturally so for me a two or three month veg is normal. Some people will force flowering at 3-6 weeks, then either let it go or make it revert back to veg. It's all about personal preference, or it can...

    red hairs???

    Pistil color has almost nothing to do with them being done. Pistils constantly change color from the first day they appear to the day you chop. The only real way to tell is the trichomes. I have red/orange pistils a week into flower, but I know it's not ready. Pay little to no attention to them...

    Reflection!

    No, the plant will be fine, just try to keep the area ventilated like you should do anyways when painting. Open a window or door, run a fan or two and you'll be just fine.

    Plant Sexing

    You can, but it's a big waste of time actually. You have to wait for the plants to show their sex, which under 12/12 could be weeks or months even, then revert them back to veg state, then back to flower. All that really does is stress the plants, waste time, lighting, energy, and could very...

    An emergency blanket from a dollar store is cheaper, and better, than aluminum foil.

    small black bugs

    If they're black, it sounds more like fungus gnats than spidermites, which are red and very hard to see with the naked eye. You can try hanging a no-pest strip in your grow area if they fly. If they stay on the plants and in the soil, you may need something else, such as neem. You can also try...
