I've said it before....If you want to know the very best spectrum for your plants, then just set up several different types of lights in an empty room....let a cat into the room and wait a few minutes....Come back into the room and take note of which light the cat is lying under. That's the best...

There are a few tasty commercial strains, but, in my experience, every time I scope the trichomes of commercial strains, they are clear. I'm not talking about bottom shelf stuff....I'm talking about the "best" stuff in the store. So, my conclusion is that commercial growers' priority is to be...

Don't overthink it too much. These are plants, not baby humans and they are encoded with "what to do" instructions and will grow just fine as long as you avoid extremes. There are likely enough nutrients in the potting mix you're using. I would advise you to avoid any kind of feeding until they...

They look okay to me. Just keep the soil lightly damp.

Yeah, but. like I say, by that time, the plant is pretty much done growing. It isn't really putting on any more mass past a certain point. After that, it's all ripening. Keep in mind, when I'm talking about 'ripe' I'm talking about plants that are taken to 14+ weeks -hybrid or Indica (Sativa...

I know that it's always an anxious time whenever it's getting close to harvest time. I think a lot of these methods are just to give the growers something to do while the plants ripen. I was tying down the branches and the stalk split. I immediately taped it back together and, in a matter of...

HPS bulbs (unshielded) do give off UV. I think they give off more UV light than compact fluorescent reptile bulbs.

Well, you know how it goes...You spend almost half a year nurturing the plants from a seed.....the everyday routines start to set in....the high expectations....Then, when the day finally comes to chop them down, you know you've put the time and care in on them. When you finally get to taste...

I've grown a bag seed from a commercial batch of GG#4....which has all kinds of Chem strains in it...and then this last run was the Chemdozer -which is Chem91 X Planet Purple F2...and it showed both balls in early flower which I picked off....and then everything was cool...until when I was...

Unfortunately, there's a good chance that almost ANY strain you grow is going to present this tendency. The strains now are so complex and the lineage is so deep and convoluted with hybrids crossed with hybrids crossed with hybrids. The more "stuff" that's in there, the more chance that gene is...

meh...I ran those reptile bulbs and didn't get any noticeable improvement. Next run, I'm going back to the old school unshielded HID bulbs....MH and HPS. That way, there's always plenty of UV.

I have had mixed success with Archive seeds. The dispensary is nearby and it's easy for me to go and snag a pack. Yeah, it's expensive, but it's also convenient and, other than high prices, they have a good reputation for quality. I am only a small time hobbyist grower. I usually grow 4 plants...

Well...Here she is after 15 weeks in flower ("How far can ripeness be pushed?").... Chemdozer was supposed to be a 10-week strain...but we all know how that goes... The plants went through several different phases of smells as the flowers were allowed to age beyond the recommended stage. By...

Well, my choice of available seeds at the time, was Mother Tongue and Shangri-La. I decided on the Mother Tongue. (I will say, that I also ran a bag seed in a bud of Vortex that I had one time. That plant turned out with some interesting flavors.) I don't know enough about what was early or...

Well....I let the Chemdozer go for 15 weeks!! The plants were basically almost dead in the ground when I chopped them. It only took 6 days for the plants to hang-dry. I just got done trimming up the last of the two plants I grew and got them into the curing jars. It looks really good -lots of...

I bought a pack of TGA/Jinxproof "Mother Tongue" seeds years ago and ran them all...None of them were anything to write home about...mediocre at best.

I'd say three or four more weeks.

I ran my GG#4 for 13 weeks...turned out great! Just as a general rule, in my experience, there are very few (if any) photoperiod strains that are truly ripe at 8 weeks. Ten weeks is a minimum starting point for ripening and sometimes up to 15 weeks and beyond, if it's a phenotype that leans...

We must see the entire plant in good lighting. There's no way to diagnose anything from those pics.
