I have been very successful with seedlings starting by germination, transplant into a rooting cubes and then transplant to 1 gal bag with organic soil when the seedling has a well established rooting system, white, thick and healthy. I also spray once in a while my seedlings and I'm moderated...

Hey you're right, I did not really read the rest of the post before answering, not a big deal! Well, you have the people like you that would recommend a bunch of stuff like plenty of light for the vegging, this or that, and then you have the people like me that once started following all the...

your friend is a fruit cake and might be working for the feds!

What soil are you using and what nuts are you using? are you in veg? Overall, it seems to me the plants are overwatered, suffer from nut burn and heat stress. Whenever you start to feed, start with 1/4 dose and increase to a full dose progressively. Look at your plant and follow up on the new...

I think we all agree that the main goal to grow is to sustain your own consumption which require to maximise the harvest in yield and quality, @nappa23: Flowering from seeds does NOT make any sense to me, the investment in nuts, soil, electricity and time would be far superior from the gain...

Before starting with pruning and topping, get familiar with the strain by having a couple grow in your hands. Pruning won't work if all other conditions are not present. As an indoor experiment, I did some topping and pruning on white widows, I had a nice bush but at the end my yield was...

And what in world made you top that plant that early? if topping was necessary because of a problem of height, then wait until you have 7 to 8 nodes and top above the fifth or sixth node. How long do you have this plant in veg? I believe not more than 3 weeks (add 2 weeks if you started from...

I have been trying to find information on the effects of spider mites on human health, especially when the medicine smoked may contain spider mites. With high temps, spider mites strive and toward the end of flowering, one doesn't want to spray anything on the bud that could compromise the...

I originally did my installation with 5 of those, 2 are blowing fresh air and another 3 are sucking. My veg room is 4x10x12=480 cf and the flowering is 8x10x12=960cf, with outake rated at 210cfm, it should be ok but the truth is that it's not. My opinion is that I came to the point that I know...

I rather germinate my seeds before putting them soil before. Here is the reason: seeds have already all the nutrients and component for the seed to germinate and your soil which is probably high in Nitrogen might actually compromise the development of the seed. Just put your seeds between 2...

So, yesterday after checking on my crystals I decided to harvest, kinda strange since we are on the 7th week. Got my clippers and as usual started by the biggest ... check it out.

I don't know much either but common sense and experience says that when you have any kind of plant in a container outside that develops its root system into the soil to the point the bucket is stuck, to me and in my humble opinion, it means that the plant found a really cool place to settle...

I would not touch it, your plant is striving and loves it right there, how big is your container and how tall is the plant?

Just my two cents, I found that drying is another very important stage, stems and branches should be snapping and break without much pressure, bending is not enough. You should have a very minimum of moisture before the curing process or you risk to develop mould. Anyway, make sure you open your...

You know the phrase that we are always better teachers than students? so after posting and replying on RIU, I go to my room and say I better check out the crystals man, ... so I take my scope ... wtf, it's harvest time! to my surprise most of my colas trichomes are fuckin ready and I'm only on...

You'll know when your ladies are ready because they will stink and you'll get hungry! joke apart (they will stink for sure), 1. Look for orange hair and no more white hair. 2. If you did the job right, you should feel by touch how the bud are denser than before. 2. Buy a cheap scope and watch...

Not necessarily, it will depend on your soil ph, how much salts and nitrates you have. The best way is to experiment by ph'ing your water before and after and see the difference. I think 6.7 is kinda risky and I would stay in the mid 5 up to 6 just in case. This way you have a nice margin for...

I use DC every time I had liquid, it's a prevention thing and it avoid salt built up. The bottle is kinda expensive but you only need very little like 1/4 TS per 4 gallons. For the ph, I use a cheapo ph kit and monitor the water each time. I'd love to have one of these fu fu meter but I don't...

Hey, would you raise that lamp a little bit (20cm), must be hot down there! plus an excess of light will contribute to leech the plant, take it easy! Air circulation is so so important so get a fan too but make sure to keep your moisture high enough. You'll be fine!

The flushing is gonna help to get rid of the salt built up which I think is a determinant factor in the health of the plant. Since you already cut the nuts, I would flush once. The weight technique is kinda hard to explain since it consists in weighting the container by hand and get the feel of...
