    True leaves 'scrunching'

    Welcome! Don't worry, MJ is not that hard to grow. People complicate it but it's a weed for fook's sake :) The first set of leaves are usually stubby. They don't form "blades" just yet. Is that what you mean?

    How Much Longer for Trich's to Turn Amber?

    Thanks BK! Hey if you're ever in Switzerland you're more than welcome to enjoy it ;) Well let me get more accurate: there are some amber trich's on the leaves (you can count them- literally) but non on the calyx. I'm actually looking for no more than 25% amber on the Bubblegum for a good...

    How Much Longer for Trich's to Turn Amber?

    AFAIK leaves are actually the energy source for further growth of buds at the end of the plant's life cycle. Once they're drained of energy they wither and fall off naturally.

    How Much Longer for Trich's to Turn Amber?

    Hey all, getting closer to harvest my first grow :weed: was wondering if anyone knew how long it typically takes for trichomes to change from milky to amber? I know this differs from strain to strain, grow to grow etc. but do they change from milky to amber faster than clear to milky...

    GrowLab 120 or Homebox L

    Nah I was at a growshop two weeks ago and it was branded Homebox. Still not sure if Sun Hut is in fact Homebox. Some sellers claim they changed the name, but I dunno... http://www.homebox.net/dhtml/product_family_homebox_xl_silver.php

    How much longer do you reckon?

    ***UPDATE*** Well it's been over 2 weeks since i started this thread and my babies still aren't ready. The buds have definitely filled up, but I still see new growth with white pistils. They've now been flowering (budding, not just 12/12) for 53 days and I'm getting impatient. Still no amber...

    Is it wise to feed nutes to my Blueberry mother plant (in soil) EVERY time I water?

    very true. My Bubble Gums (Sativa dominant) required less nutes than the Northern Lights cross. Definitely more sensitive.

    GrowLab 120 or Homebox L

    I'd definitely go with the Homebox XL. I've honestly never heard of the Grow Lab, so I can't make a fair judgement, but from my research Homebox is the original and perhaps best option. I know that they DON'T use PVC lining for the interior which is toxic to the plants. A lot of other brands...

    Not mediocre, just garbage. And it's not as if it flowers in 30 days or something that the flowering time is THAT short. There are lots of awesome strains that finish flowering in 50-55 days. Is that extra week or so worth compromising quality? Not for me, but to each his own.

    Whats the deal with this lil wayne hullabaloo?

    I'm sorry but that's a really stupid argument. True art (including music!) is for the soul, from the soul; not from the marketing departments of big, commercial record labels. Lil Wayne is just one example of how money can turn supposed artists into tools for the media corporations. They...

    Whats the deal with this lil wayne hullabaloo?

    hellz yeah! Rip the Jacker was such a sick album; especially with Stoupe on the beats. There's still real rap out there. You just gotta look for it ;)

    homebox L and venting (and odor)

    no major odor problems at all. It smells just a little bit when you enter the room where the Homebox is placed, but that's it.

    Is it wise to feed nutes to my Blueberry mother plant (in soil) EVERY time I water?

    I'd giver her a proper dose of nutes every other watering.

    homebox L and venting (and odor)

    I'm using a Homebox L with a 400w HPS and here's my advice: -ditch the cooltube. just get a parabolic reflector. -get a 6" inline fan with a carbon filter. -No need for intake fans, just keep the side flaps of the Homebox open and the pressure from the extractor fan will suck in cool air...

    Does Big Bud Knock your Socks off????

    Take a look at mr Nice's Critical Mass; a re-worked version of Big Bud. Big yields, good high, but no special taste/aroma.
