Heat stress, like a lot of things, manifests in a few different ways - and different strains react differently. With fluros, you usually just get burnt and twisted leaves where they actually touch the bulb. Under HID bulbs, you will get the traditional 'heat stress' curl a lot of the time and...

You can see SPIDER MITES with the naked eye if you know what to look for. BROAD mites are a completely different beast and DO NOT cause the same type of damage or tell tale signs, and they are hard to find even with a powerful scope. Google broad mites, and pray you never get them. Spider...

It's a girl, and it's probably genetics. Those autos can be a crap shoot when it comes to pheno expression. If they just started flowering, give them time - you may be suprised how it fills out. I don't see any male parts, the pics are very clear. Maybe someone might see something I...

I too once thought I had braod mites...what a nightmare. I didn't have broad mites-they are almost impossible to find, btw they are super tiny- you need a 60-100x scope. Some people spend days trying to locate them, I spent weeks and found nothing. My problem was actually under feeding and...

I've been reluctant to try to humidipaks, I've heard some people mention they can smell them? Others use them and love them, obviously your in the latter category. I think I'm going to get me some when I harvest this round.

Curing evenly distributes moisture if nothing else. A plant that is just hung and dried will be drier on the outside then the inside. As soon as you place it in the jar, the moisture from the middle slowly leaches out through the bud, evenly distributing the moisture. If your drying your...

LIke all the 'cups' that have become popular in the U.S. Basically grower competitions with different categories - sativa, indica, hybrid, organic, etc. All the winners are definitely curing their product, all but the organic growers are flushing...some for well over 2 weeks. I always look at...

They still carry the Pro-Mix Hp near me at the Lowes, when I found it there I was pretty excited. It's not in the compact bales, it's the smaller bags, but still... I really hope they keep carrying it, but by the sound of it I may be out of luck. I think I'm the only person that buys it...

Looks like your on the right track! I persoanlly love Promix, it's a great forgiving medium for newbies and pros alike. I won't be going back to coco! Good luck, keep on growing :)

I always though that the starches in the plant convert to sugars, or vice versa during the cure. I though that is why it actually gets smoother with age-which I thought was the entire point of the cure- to make the smoke burn evenly and increase the smoothness? Why wouldn't that be desirable...

All that being said, I'm smoking my product everyday after harvest. I smoke it wet, then dried, then cured, LOL. I'll take the cured anyday. I'm suprised any of it makes it over 3 months to be honest :)

What a ridiculous thread...ask all the cannabis cup winners how they fell about flush and cure...thats all you need to know right there. No one is winning cups with unflushed, uncured bud. Will the average consumer be able to tell I haven't fully cured my bud? NO. I don't over feed and I...

So I assumed we were talking about photos since this wasn't in the autoflower section. Scratch all my advice which was for photos, DUH! I totally missed we were talking about autos :)

I missed the auto part, my bad. Photos benefit from transplants- the faster your medium dries out, the more frequent you can water. The more frequent you can water, the faster the growth. Autos are in a league of their own.

Once a leaf fades it will never get green again. It won't always die, and i've seen some appear to get 'healthier' but once a leaf is damaged by a deficiency the damage is done. In the case of mobile elements it takes from the old to generate the new. It doesn't repair the old though - what...

LOL, I didn't realize this for quite some time :)

This is coming from a guy who defended his18/6 'much better growth rate using HID in veg' opinion for quite some time before I realized the importance of node spacing. I was going into flower with much smaller plants, but they had more side branches. Even though my plants have gotten shorter...

Your plants look great, and I was 18/6 guy my entire life until I saw the benefits of fluros and 24/0. Everyone's set-up is different, but I've managed to increase yeild with smaller plants vegging under fluros. More side branches and smaller plants - for my style of growing it works WAY...

Transplanting is your friend, ESPECIALLY if your growing is soil and plan on using anything bigger than 2gallon pots to finish in. You shouldn't have to go more than 3 days inbetween waterings, as more water = more oxygen = more growth. If you start in pots that are too big they amount of...

I totally agree, but they also have much greater distances between nodes, which isn't always desirable.
