    sandmonkey's 1st grow: NLX and BubbleGum

    Already preparing for the big harvest and my next grow... went a lil' crazy shopping :weed: Decided to go organic from my next grow on. BioBizz really appealed to me because they're OMRI certified and easily available here in Europe. I also picked up some Advanced Nutrients Piranha and...

    7 weeks in flower, whats wrong? (PICS)

    yeah it should. I've also been using Canna's PK13/14 and it definitely stops the deficiency, but damaged leaves won't recover.

    7 weeks in flower, whats wrong? (PICS)

    Looks like a phosphorus deficiency to me. Leaves will yellow off towards the end of flowering but not like that. and yeah the gas mask is pretty cool LOL. still have mine back home from the Gulf War...

    sandmonkey's 1st grow: NLX and BubbleGum

    Go light at first. The Bubblegums grew slowly in veg, but after the switch to 12/12 they really took off. Can't help with hydro though.

    sandmonkey's 1st grow: NLX and BubbleGum

    I put about 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of yeast. I fill the bottle about 3/4 with water; allowing space for any foam that is produced in the bottle.

    Checking Trich's: Better than a microscope...

    Here's what you can do: get a 30x loupe and put it on your lens. I did this with my Canon point & shoot IXUS 960: Clearly not the same quality of results, but I guess still beats looking at 'em directly with the microscope. Focusing is a biatch though.

    Checking Trich's: Better than a microscope...

    Wow, thanks for the kind words dude. That's really encouraging to hear for a 1st-timer like me :lol: and it's cool that through growing I can improve my photography, and my photography could help me yield better results. a win-win situation LOL I certainly give 'em all I can. Nothing's too...

    The trich check low down.

    Very valid points, caddy... one of the reasons I hate those microscopes and loupes (got 3) is that they only show fractions of the "whole picture" regarding trich's. Not enough to make a sound decision IMO. Different buds, and different parts of the buds are likely to finish at different...

    Odor Question

    Some strains stink more than others... i've also got a carbon filter and can smell the Bubblegum (stinkier than NLX) when I enter the room where my Homebox is. The rest of my place has no odor. What i've done is use some of those Air Wick electrical plugs that slowly evaporate perfumed...

    Checking Trich's: Better than a microscope...

    The ones above were taken outside the Homebox. I took these yesterday in the Homebox under the HPS, with the settings mentioned. There's still gonna be that HPS spectrum of colors, but greatly reduced. I don't think the results are bad. Here's a Bubblegum: NLX:

    Checking Trich's: Better than a microscope...

    well I'm using aperture-priority mode (Av), so I just set the aperture then the ISO and shutter speed are automatically set according to that. under the HPS i set the white balance to about K2500 and reduce exposure a bit. that certianly helps! I try to avoid flash when possible. don't be...

    Marijuana Nation Show on tonight!

    Switzerland (which is supposedly way ahead of the US for legalization) had a vote in November and a lot of growers voted AGAINST legalizing it! it might sound hypocritical, but the underlying fact is that when it's illegal there are practically no regulations. You can grow whatever you want...

    Marijuana Nation Show on tonight!

    and I can only imagine what kind of restrictions will come with legalization. Imagine they start banning strains with more than 10% THC for example?

    Marijuana Nation Show on tonight!

    it's not about right or wrong; good or bad. the government is a business. the tobacco and alcohol companies have to get something out of it, otherwise what's the point? sad but true.
