I do have little stones on top of the soil - it helps to retain moisture. Also, watering disturbs the soil, and plants can't root as well in disturbed soil. So using small stones on top allows the roots to come up a bit higher in the pot, which are quite small given my small grow space. I...

First, sorry Mom! I could have sworn that I'd seen some pollen sacks on you, but I'm so paranoid about hermies from my "feminized" seeds that I'm seeing pollen sacks everywhere. Second, I'd swear we're growing in the same space, and I've found that with my six plants things are a little tight...

Congratulations - now the fun begins! how long do you plan to veg them for?

And I've only fertilized once, with 1/16 strength fox farms nutes (my girls are in fox farms' Ocean Forest). I did that with my last watering, and the chicas seemed to like it. Next time I'll do straight water (distilled, bought my local hypermart). Judging by the moisture meter, that next...

Here's two views of a typical plant. I have a total of six, and thanks to a complete bonehead move on my part (I transplanted the ladies but not the ID tags), the best I can say is that this is either original haze, white widow or big bud. sigh. . .

So I'm almost a week into flowering and the girls are having a growth spurt. I still have all six, and they are looking pretty reasonable. Some of the lower leaves from when there was a lack of nutrients / heat burned are still a touch spotted, but the newest leaves are coming in robust and...

I just came back from the 'Dam, and checked in with some old grow buddies. I want to tell you that I asked about jack herer simply because this nice guy on the internet was curious, but Jack Herer is on my short list for next grow as I love the high. Everyone said the same thing - great smoke...

Thanks for the note - your girls look great! After today's veg period, it's 24 hours of darkness, followed by 12/12. I've had some heat issues related to where I put my box, but those problems have (knock on wood) been solved, so we'll see how the girls do in flowering. If any experts do...

congrats on the success so far! My experience is that the Jack Herer is among the finest to smoke, though the "word on the street" was that it was a complicated grow, so I avoided it for my first grow. I'm now a subscriber to your journal, and look forward to cheering your girls on!

I'll second the "avoid haze" recommendation. Sweet jeebus, my haze girls just reek three weeks into veg! Can't wait for the 12/12. . . .

Seriously, I'm a first time grower here, and I'm amazed at the extent to which my veg stage girls just reek - and I filter the exhaust through serious carbon.

I'm a new greenhouse convert. Arjan lists the THC percentages on his strains, and so many seem to be above 20%, which is about four times the concentration of the weed that I grew up with. I just bought 10 of Arjan's Ultra Haze #2, and I'm excited to get those girls in some dirt!

Thanks brother, but so far so good - my orig. haze girl is a bit leggier than the rest, but I've lst'ed her, and she seems to be dealing with it pretty well. Of course nothing matters until harvest .. . .

Gotcha. and, fwiw, my girls grew about three inches since your post. I'm not sure if it's because of your message or the fact that I just transplanted, but still ... ;-) Anyhoo, I'm off to start my 12/12. . .

Great journal and good luck with the rest of the grow GG! Here's a link to a pretty good "scuff germination" technique that I, a complete noob, used successfully on a 2 hard-to-germ white widows. ymmv https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/25706-what-best-way-germanate-seed.html#post265071

Thanks for the advice! Should you flower after the fifth internode because you can, or because you'll end up with a friggin' tree? I'm about three weeks into Veg, and am at about 4 and 1/2 nodes.

Quick question from a newb- Do you put the carbon filter at the intake end of your ventilation system, or at the exhaust? I'm growing in a small (0.8m wide, 0.8m deep, 1.3m high) grow space, and I run a 4" inline fan. Here's how the airflow works: open tube inside the top of the grow box...

First timer here, and I'm curious about Fantaseed's Big Bud. I've seen the advantages of Big Bud listed: fast, simple grow, tight internodes and bushy growth, hardy plants, good for beginners and absurd yields. But I've also seen some disadvantages listed: Indica high, sometimes...

Could be, but I got them from the Fantaseeds retail outlet.

I'm not sure about the "afkomst" of the seeds, so I was a bit curious. I'll confess that I pulled the most expensive indoor seeds I could find off the wall that had a reasonable flowering time. It was only later that I started wondering about the indica/sativa split on the breeding, though I'm...
