    clear trics, clear amber trics, no cloudy trics - +rep

    On my first grow I noticed this as well. I think some trich's exhibit a dark brown color at the early stages of development. I don't count them as amber/degrading trichs. In my case the brown is more in the trichome stalks. You can see a few here: And remember to check the trichs...

    **how much molasses per gallon??** +rep

    You won't screw it up, but I don't think it will give you the desired effect. I say just make sure you flush a few weeks before harvest and you should have some killer bud.

    **how much molasses per gallon??** +rep

    Try to go for a fully organic, blackstrap unsulphured molasses from an organic food store. It's usually a dark brown, almost lack, sticky and thick "liquid". Has a similar texture to honey. I've seen some of the varieties in supermarkets (here in Switzerland) and they're usually no more than...

    Help!!! She's So Tall and Thin

    He did say it was only one of few seedlings that were doings this. I'm on my 2nd grow and have 6 seedlings (and 15 clones) under a 400w HPS. Only one of them is doing this kind of stretching. I highly doubt it's a lighting issue in my case. I say it's just a weak seed, and if the others...

    2 questions on seeds

    There are numerous phenotypes for every strain. It's all about genetics. Think of it like this: do you have a brother/sister that looks more like an aunt, grandparent, etc. than your biological parents? some genes are more recessive than others.

    Snow White Clones Infected - Please Help

    could be heat stress. Did you mist them by any chance? did so on my seedlings and that burnt the hell outta the leaves.

    anyone heard of "water curing"

    Tried it. Hated it. You lose all aroma and flavor since terpenes are water-soluble. The bud gets all dark and ugly, and it just doesn't feel like smoking ganj anymore. I only did it cause i burned my Bubblegum with ferts. Never again!

    Why organic?

    Yeah veg was fine, and even through flowering i was light on the nutes, but it still ended up almost ruining the bud completely (flavor and smoothness, anyway). Still smoked all 4 oz of it, but from my current grow onwards it's organics only :p

    Hollywood Unmasked!

    Nothing new for truth-seekers, yet i'm surprised how people immediately reject this stuff, even here!!! I guess people are getting stoned and not getting high. We can even go into how Disney is just another tool for brainwashing and indoctrinating our children (watch the ending of Fantasia...

    Why organic?

    I thought it was all hype, but during my first grow my Bubblegum plants were burnt before harvest. Even after flushing, etc., the bud didn't burn smoothly, the smoke was harsh, and the flavor/aroma wasn't bubblegummy-sweet at all. Now i'm a believer in organics.

    Reintroducing microbeasties to sterilized soil...

    My light soil-mix is sterile to begin with, so I add some of this for funghi: and this for bacteria:

    Sandmonkey's 2nd grow: Dutch Passion Flo, Magus Warlock, and ???

    Well I went to my local grow shop today and got myself some new babies: 8 White Widow and 7 AK-47 clones. Planted them immediately and gave them over 6 hours of darkness to rest after the transplant shock. Lights just came on: I've decided to try my luck at perpetual growing, so...

    Bizarre Rusty Patches on Seedling's Leaves! PLZ HELP!!!

    Thanks for the reply laserbrn! I guess this could be one of the weaker ones. I did test the run-off, and it fluctuated between 6.6 and 6.8. Temp is about 78 degrees, so a bit on the higher side. I've only got a 400w HPS but for now have it set pretty high off the canopy (over 30 inches) to...

    Sandmonkey's 2nd grow: Dutch Passion Flo, Magus Warlock, and ???

    like I said i haven't been using actual grow nutes, just additives with extremely low NPK values. Puzzling eh? :-? I would cut the leaf tips, but the entire leaf feels crispy to the touch. In fact in the pic above you'll see that the leaf on the right actually snapped off! today the same...

    Bizarre Rusty Patches on Seedling's Leaves! PLZ HELP!!!

    Greetings all, I'm on my 2nd indoor grow and have decided to start from seeds rather than clones. So far things have been OK; except for one plant. These seedlings were planted in a light soil mix by Janeco (used it in my last grow). The only nutes I've given so far are BioBizz...
