    Can these buds be saved??

    I recently harvested my grow of 3 autos. One plant was chopped about a month ago and the other 2 about 2 weeks later. I think the buds from the fist plant are ruined…..mold or rot or fungus of some sort. The plant was small and compact w/ a little over 2oz of dried bud. I wet trimmed it...

    Air purifier in grow space question.

    i understand one larger hole being better than several smaller ones….but I’ve already cut 2 small 3” ones. It started out just as a conduit for my elec cords but then I realized how much debris was entering the space from under the door. I figured I could screen or filter the round holes...

    Air purifier in grow space question.

    I have quite a bit of pet hair and carpet fibers that get in through the current space under the door….I was thinking about eliminating it somehow. I could add as many of the 3” holes as needed. I’ll def use a layer of MERV13 over the holes as well.

    Air purifier in grow space question.

    Thanks for the info. I’m not really concerned about anything in particular….just wondering where the air purifier unit would do me the most good, inside the closet or outside near the passive intake. Since u seem fairly knowledgeable, I’ll ask you a more basic question: given a space my...

    Air purifier in grow space question.

    Hello everyone, I am about to start another run in my 2.5’x6’ closet (ceiling is 8’). I have a small air purifier that uses a Hepa filter with a thin carbon screen in front. It came from Lowes or Home Depot and is suggested for small rooms. It’s a stand alone unit and not connected to my...

    New Grower - Day 74 - Need second opinion

    I don’t think that bud is gonna be ripe in 2 weeks…..just my humble opinion. Great looking and have a lot of swell left if you give them what they need. In 2 weeks it may be smokable and get the job done, but only at a fraction of it’s potential. And for heavens sake, feed the plant. It’s...

    Give her a week and check those trichs on the calyces. Looking great though…..

    New Grower - Day 74 - Need second opinion

    If you’re still feeding you might consider titrating down slightly…..but don’t starve them before they finish. Unless you plan on smoking the soil, there’s no need to flush or any change in the routine. IMHO Otherwise keep doing what you’ve been doing. They look great and should be ripe or...

    When is the perfect time to harvest

    My eyes aren’t the greatest but I don’t see hardly any pistils, which leads me to believe those calyces may be getting ready to swell up and kick out some thick ones. The heads don’t look big enough for the buds to be ripe. If you get that wave of pistils it’ll be a good 3-4 weeks before they...

    how much?

    To be honest it doesn’t look like it’s that much closer to being ripe compared to the pics 2 weeks ago. The leaves are showing some age but the buds are still spitting out some white hairs. That’s the thing with some plants that confuses the hell out of me….when they just don’t wanna finish...

    Ripe for weeks but no amber…any help?

    Good day Sir, I wanted to pick your brain as you seem to be a knowledgeable and experienced grower who’s not afraid to give sage advice. I’m ready to harvest the other 2 plants and was planning on doing it tomorrow. As I was looking in on them with my hand held magnifying glass I spotted what...

    Spider mites 2 weeks before harvest

    I don’t have an answer but would like to hear one. I’m literally ready to harvest tonight and spotted a couple strands of super fine hair-like strings stretching from bud to bud…..in a few different places on the plant. I looked thru a jewelers loupe but didn’t see anything moving. How did...

    Where am I here?

    You’ll see amber trichs on the sugar leaves really early on but the ones to pay attention to are on the calyces and interior pockets of the buds. 99% of the time the buds aren’t ripe until all the pistils have turned brown/orange. Once that happens you can check out the trichs and see if they...

    Why no amber??

    Sorry I did manage to get out the calendar and count up the days….today was day 140….. I don’t wanna hijack your thread but I may hijack any ideas that people offer up as a solution. Lol

    Why no amber??

    114 day auto!!!! Whoever heard of such nonsense ? Well I have and you’ve got a ways to go before you catch me. I’ve stopped counting days and even weeks…..I’m counting by the months. Mine sprouted on Oct. 13….and started flowering hard a month later. I won’t even get into all the dirty...

    Ready to harvest?

    Hey man, people usually give you the best advice according to their understanding and abilities. There’s no rule that you have to take it. Your plants and your choice on how to grow them. It can be some tough love on this site on occasion but it’s all well intended. The upshot is there are...

    Growth of a trichome

    So you can’t swing a dead cat w/o finding info explaining the 3 stages of trichomes and the “supposed” results of harvesting based on this mix. My question is what part of the trichome forms first and is it common to see trichs that are just forming and only partially developed. I know the...

    Harvest time?

    The fruit isn’t ripe…..harvest if it’s unripe fruit you’re wanting. Otherwise allow it to finish. Buds aren’t ripe with new white pistils popping out top to bottom. Over the next few weeks those hairs will turn and recede while the calyces swell up nice and plump. They are great looking...

    Harvest Time: A Tutorial

    Hey I know this is an older post but I’ve seen many of your responses and it seems like u know what you’re talking about. I was hoping you could clear up my confusion with curing buds. I’ve recently chopped 1 of 3 plants. I chopped on Sunday and it’s been hanging in my cellar since. My temp is...
