    New Gardener needs help

    guys, stop giving misinformation about molasses and get your facts straight. The roots are unable to absorb (through active transport) carbohydrates and other larger molecules. Molasses is mostly beneficial in an organic grow where the microherd breakdown the sugars into something the...

    chemdog question

    don't forget that different phenotypes of the same strain can have different flowering times. But it's all in the high you're looking for as well. But leaving it to "over-flower" will cause THC degradation pretty quickly. I smoked some Orange Bud before christmas that was over-flowered and it...

    chemdog question

    outdoor flowering periods are usually given as seasons (specific months for a certain latitude range) rather than number of days/weeks.

    Stem problems help needed.....WORRIED

    I'm not a hydro expert, but i know a lot of folks here buy pH up/down from hydrostores or even aquarium stores. I personally like to keep it natural so I just use organic white vinegar (without artificial acetic acid) as a pH down. Never had to raise my pH, so... Also make sure you get an...

    Stem problems help needed.....WORRIED

    exactly. My fan has 2 power settings. I use the lower strength until they're about 7" tall then step it up a notch. I underestimated the importance of strong stems on this, my first grow. but i've learnt my lesson for next time :)

    Stem problems help needed.....WORRIED

    i personally have it on 24/7, but it's not too strong to begin with. Remember to rotate your pots a quarter turn every day or so so that the stems toughen all around.

    First time flowering - advice?

    looks good! molasses is mostly beneficial in an organic grow where a microherd is present in the soil to break down the molasses. I doubt that roots are able to absorb disaccharides or other complex molecules all on their own.

    believe me it's a welcome problem :eyesmoke: but yeah i had to use the poles from my photo tent to keep those colas upright.

    Stem problems help needed.....WORRIED

    right on. And make sure you get the fan directly hitting the stems. I set the fan too high up when I got my clones, and now towards the end of flowering the stems are bending 'cause they can't support all that bud weight.

    BioBizz All Mix

    If my local grow shop had that soil in stock, I'd be using it. But instead i'll just use the same soil mix i'm using and add the BioBizz pre-mix if I can find it, or something similar from Advanced Nutrients.

    Almost Ready Nuggs

    Sorry but you can't hate on Jorge. If anything he's pretty down to earth. Not a show off at all... And if you had watched his videos carefully your grow would have probably come out looking a lot better. So you can't really call it "mehh". Yeah there are "newb mistakes", but you can avoid...
