None of it is really needed…..and I’d be very careful using Cha-Ching and BB. It’s strong stuff and will fry your plants if you get too heavy handed. I don’t mean to be critical of Fox Farms, as I used Ocean Forest before I moved to their 70/30 coco. But notice how they call for so many...

I just super cropped a couple tops 2 days ago. It was a tension filled event but in no time the end bud was pointing straight up and things look good. I’m growing 3 different photo strains (Don’t ask why) and this plant (Jack Herer) was reaching for the moon, so I had to do something or I’d...

They could have went a bit longer…..they’re ripe when they’re ripe and the date on the calendar is not relevant…..but I don’t think that would cause your issues. IMHO it has to be something that occurred during your dry and cure. It’s possible they are still not dry enough….evidenced by the...

Damn that is a lot of work. I just posted a thread that you’ll find interesting. My bro-in-law grows a nice outdoor crop every yr. Nothing crazy….like 5-6 plants, and he’ll lose one every now and then. But every single yr he has a nice harvest of really top shelf bud. Different strains...

So my Bro-in-law has grown a handful of plants outside every year for as long as I can remember…..at least 11-12 seasons. He has had a few unlucky events cost him but every yr he has a lb or two of outstanding quality buds. I never really asked him about his feeding or the other particulars...

I think your plants are growing despite dumping copious amounts of different nutes on them, not because of it. I don’t mean to be critical but what you describe sounds like a massive train wreck that’s bound to happen. But as they say, “we are most convinced by what we ourselves...

The quality looks great and you’ll be a happy camper in a few weeks.

HLG or Timber……a little pricey but never a doubt. Growing big buds and making sure my house doesn’t catch on fire are my two top priorities…..and i have no worries with either.

Perhaps prototype isn’t the exact right word I was looking for. Maybe “textbook” finish is better suited? I was saying that it’s been my experience that the healthier/less stressed plants tend to finish out in a more predictable way. On the flip side, plants that have issues (deficiencies...

I have to agree that those the plant needs a couple more weeks….2-3 at least, possibly even a bit longer depending. Those white pistils are not the “last ditch effort”, random or heat related superfluous ones that can really be ignored. To me, those look like the wave that comes as the buds go...

What’s my answer?? Do I burp or not? I can see the reasoning for both answers, so I’m confused.

No need to flush my friend…unless you plan on packing some of that coco in your bowl and smoking it….. It’s ok to give only water in the last few days to a week. But if the plant has to reach into its reserves too early for too much it can impact how it finishes. Keep her healthy and...

For God’s sake don’t stop feeding her now….that’s why she’s yellowing…..this is an important time for the plant to have everything it needs. For a plant to finish out properly, like the book says it should, it must be healthy and unstressed. A little yellowing is fine as part of the natural...

Hello, I recently harvested a small auto that was severely stunted as a seedling. I almost tossed it but now I’m glad I didn’t. I hung the entire plant with most of the fans still on….although the leaf to calyx ratio was insanely low….very very few leaves. The best I could muster for...

I think you’re probably in that window where harvesting would be fine….but letting her go another solid week to 10 days would only enhance the strain. If you are seeing an abundance of clear trichs on the calyces it would be wise to wait a week and re-evaluate. But if 80% are milky and you have...

It’s my belief that Fox Farms suggests a regular flush (w/ Sledgehammer) for a couple reasons. One, to simply sell more product…..they’ve overlapped and duplicated extensively with their feeding schedule lineup already….might as well add another for flushing. Two, a flushing will almost...

If you plan to grow more in the future, worm castings might be the single most beneficial arrow in your quiver. I can sub for almost anything else and be fine….not worm castings.

To me they just look a bit hungry. A top dress with fresh Ocean Forest and some EWC should push them across the finish line.

As long as the plant is getting what it needs and is relatively unstressed, it should continue to ripen as the previous comments suggest. If that’s not the case, particularly with stress, they may not progress according to the book. I’ve had plants, all autos by the way, that I made mistakes...

I’ll add this perspective…..we generally look at a grow and think the worst case scenario is ending up with very little to no finished product. Worst case scenario for me was having to explain to my wife why my grow space went up in flames….or God forbid, ended in a fire that killed someone...
