    How many days till harvest

    Most strains are gonna go 9 weeks at least…and that’s from when you first see buds starting to form. The good news is those buds should fatten up noticeably in this last 3 weeks. Without closer pics, I’d be guessing around a month.

    Good spotting that little detail. The leaves do look a little overheated. You can’t let the temps climb up nearly that high. 85f is about as warm as I’ll go but I usually shoot for 80-82 during veg. Would still Like to know the other details to make a more informed opinion.

    Please help whats wrong

    You’ve done really well with it being your first try and having given zero nutrients…..although that should be a lesson to many who over feed the hell out of their plants. To get her to finish strong and have some good quality buds you will need to feed her now though. She’s beginning to take...

    Can someone give me the lowdown on this growlight?

    I can’t really comment on the bar LED and it’s advantages…..but I did click on your link and saw the model you’re contemplating. For the sheer output you’d be better off buying 2 of the models that I run, which is the 320xl r-spec. Its actually drawing 340w and dims down to 100. Two of those...

    Can someone give me the lowdown on this growlight?

    HLG is top shelf….you could probably save some money putting together your own components and get similar performance. But as they say, “buy once cry once”. I use the 320xl r-spec and it does it’s job way better than I do mine. You won’t be disappointed….HLG and Timber are at the top of my list.

    Need some help

    Need more info: what are you growing in? It looks like soil and watering soil daily is way too often. What are you feeding and at what levels? And when you water are you using tap and/or adding any cal mag? Lastly, when you say you checked your ph, how did you check it?? Runoff? Slurry...

    Advice how to dry huge buds?

    If his RH is 35-45% he needs a humidifier….to add more humidity to the space. 60% is a good number to shoot for with minimal fluctuations…. I believe I would trim the big stuff before hanging and break the largest colas into smaller nuggets. Humidity that low will cause the buds to dry a lot...

    What Lights in your veg room?

    I use the Photone app as well…..I found that the numbers were really skewed when I switched I-phones. And depending on the particular piece of paper I use for a diffuser the readings can be high or low. But, like you said, as long as you can get the same readings consistently you can...

    Advice how to dry huge buds?

    I would be scared the buds will dry too fast at 35-40% RH….unless it’s mighty cool in the space. i just finished drying some and kept my RH right at 60%, but the coldest I could get the temp was 69F. I was hoping for 11-12 days but after 8 full days they were done. I jarred them just in time...

    What Lights in your veg room?

    Question on the HLG r-spec…..what height do you run that during flower?? And do you increase intensity as you get further into flower?? I have the 320XL r-spec and just flipped my photos to 12/12. I vegged them at about 24-26” from the canopy set at roughly 70% intensity. I was hoping...

    Rethinking what ripe really is….

    I firmly believe the healthier and less stressed the plant is the more chance for a “prototype” finish. That’s been the case with what I’ve seen. I can’t say why some plants do what they do, but I can def see once the buds have gone through their end of cycle swell. My thoughts have changed a...

    Foxfarm

    Listen to his advice….add some additional perlite and EWC at the start. That will carry you into flowering (if growing autos). Just water it…and I always ph’ed my tap to 6.6-6.8. Around week 5 or 6 (as the plant is exhausting the amendments) you can do any number of things…the simplest being...

    Urgent Help needed….just chopped and found a mealy

    So I just chopped this small auto after 36 hours of darkness…..I’m not a total believer in the dark period practice but the plant was ready and I didn’t have time to chop and deal w/ it. Anyway, I chop the plant at the base and spotted what looked like white cotton fibers on the backside of...

    Flipping to flower tomorrow

    I defoliated my 3 plants 4 or 5 times during veg….I’m growing in organically dry amended coco and the growth was rapid. You wouldn’t believe the volume of leaves that I snipped. i just flipped to flower and they are lollipopped pretty good with an even canopy. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to...

    Need advice on a grow..

    The label simply states the dosage amount of 1 tablespoon per gallon at a rate of once per month. I think I’ll give em another full week to acclimate to the flip and then top dress.

    Need advice on a grow..

    They went to 12/12 on 7/14….4 days ago. When would you do the first top dress? I plan on some EWC along with a mix of 1/3 Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2/3 Gaia Green 2-8-4. I figured they would need a little nitrogen added above what’s in the flowering fert. I’m wide open for suggestions on that...

    Need advice on a grow..

    Wow….I’m so new at this I can’t figure out if your assessment is real or an attempt at humor from the very highly technical critique…..forgive me for not being able to differentiate. I guess for the time being I’ll take you at your word and sum up your suggestions as 1. Water less often and 2...
