another 3 weeks, at least. Those don't even really look close but it's kinda hard to tell with the one bud photo a bit blurry. Take a look at some of the grow journals in that section to see what a fully ripe plant looks like.

I agree with JoeCali. Those aren't pollen sacks they're calyxys. calyxi? They've got burnt tips but they don't have the indented sides that pollen sacks do, they're rounded. Plus they're in single formation, not clusters. Don't pull them off or kill the plant. If you can seperate it from...

crimeny Cowell was that off the top of your head? From time to time I'm amazed at how intellectual and knowledgeable some of the users of this site are but that was just rediculous. +rep4u

If something like that happened to me I would immediately set whatever time the power was lost as the plants new "night-time" You may lose a couple hours of light from that day, but it's better than stressing the plants out by giving them two hours of dark right in the middle of the afternoon...

ok, here goes; 1. seeds should sprout in 3-4 days after planting. You don't need the light though, not until after they've sprouted, just make sure the growing medium is able to stay moist. 2. horizontal, unless you can somehow arrange your plants vertically so a vertical setup would make...

yep, those clusters are the pollen sacks. chop 'em quick!

mix one into the water thoroughly then add the other. Read the instruction if there's any special steps like some ferts need to sit for awhile after being mixed so obviously add those first. A good pH for soil is around 6.5

You're probably thinking of a rotary growing system. There's a few different brands but it's basically a wheel where the plants sit on the inside and rotate around a light suspended in the center. I've heard it's the hardest way to grow because you've got to get everything just perfect, from...

Yeah...I forgot to read the second page. Opps. Kinda was tripping for a moment cause I thought my post had somehow been moved to a different thread. lol.

nice setup. If you want lower PPM the easiest way is to start of with low PPM water. Either reverse osmosified water or distilled water. Really though, it looks like your plants have adjusted just fine, I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as you start off with low nutes for young...

I don't think that's mould, I think it's eggs. I think you've got spider-mites. Look at the marijuana problem forums for threads about pest control, I've never had to deal with mites myself.

If you're shortening days don't add to the dark period, that defeats the whole purpose. The reason for shortening the light period is so that the overall day is shorter. By going to a 8/12 schedule you effectively remove 4 hours off every day and so the days cycle more quickly. Your plants...

they make conversion lamps usually with a switch so you can swap out HPS and MH bulbs. A regular ballast won't be able to do that.

google or youtube powderburns, confessions of an ecomomic hitman, and war is a force that gives us meaning. Hear about how our government operates and why from people who used to work for them.

Your buds would dry up and die, Like a grape left on the vine to wither.

There's a chart around here somewhere...Off the top of my head a 400w hps puts out 50,000 lumens, a 600w 90,000 lumens, and a 1000w 140,000. I know that's not exactly correct, but it's close. A MH puts out less lumens than a HPS and I don't know those numbers but I imagine they're roughly the...

My vote goes to hot spots created by the tinfoil burning the leaves.

How many watts is your ballast? A 600 watt bulb in a 400 watt ballast will only produce 400 watts.

Actually, my math is wrong because I was counting the last week as a full 7 days of 12/12, and if you change the schedules It's like you get an extra day of growth every four days. You'd probably be able to get them pretty darn close to being done. You'll lose some mass, but like you said...

Yes, there is and I did it my last grow when I was fighting a gnat infestation and my plants were miserable in Miracle Grow. You shorten the day on them. Instead of running a 12/12 schedule, run a 6/12 or 8/12/ or 10/12 schedule. Since you've got to cut a week, that means you've got 168 hours...
