    Pre-flower or just new growth?

    Haha ok I'll simplify. Remember this is only from what I have read so double check everything I say! What you are looking for is as close to 100% cloudy trichomes as you can get. Some young trichomes will still be clear, some older trichomes will have turned amber. You will not be able to...

    Autos alongside non-autos

    Plan is to veg the other non-auto plants as long as possible, but even with training I would struggle to go much more than 2 more weeks of veg. I would like to avoid the classic noob mistake of flipping too late and running out of room. Like I say, quality over quantity is paramount :D I...

    Autos alongside non-autos

    Unfortunately outside is not an option. I am in the process of building a veg tent for a future mom, and could potentially stick the autos in there, but they would be under a *VERY* low wattage bulb, I figure 12 hours of 600W has got to be better than 18 hours of 100W? I was afraid someone...

    Pre-flower or just new growth?

    I would be looking more at what proportion of the trichs are cloudy rather than clear. That way colour has little to do with it, you are looking at the opacity of them instead.

    Autos alongside non-autos

    I have two autoflowering plants in the same tent as four photoperiod-sensitive feminized plants. I was hoping to have harvested the autos before I flipped to 12/12 for the others, but it is now looking highly unlikely, as I will have to flip within the next two weeks to avoid running out of...

    Pre-flower or just new growth?

    Sensible. So late on in the flowering I wouldn't want to leave them on their own it would terrify me! If you struggle in the light to assess trichomes, take a small sample into daylight and check there.

    Pre-flower or just new growth?

    Sorry my bad I had looked at the someone else's pic when I diagnosed sativa dom! You are right, looking at your pics definitely indica dominant. As such, you might just scrape harvest in before your vacation, my advice would be to do like me and not book anything until you've harvested! Lol...

    Pre-flower or just new growth?

    Hi there Smokinr33, just read all of this thread with interest, great little micro grow you've got going on there! From such small plants you actually seem to be doing quite well yield wise! Couple of cents to throw into the hat here, as always I hope to be corrected by experts if I'm...

    Are my girls ready to top ?

    I think they will do fine. They are a little stretchy, perhaps more light needed? Mine were half that height at the same number of nodes, even my sativa strains. I have a 600W MH two feet from the canopy.

    Can I BEGIN the grow in 5GAL. pots?

    I wasn't for a moment suggesting the OP should start in giant containers, I was merely stating the facts about my grow. That is, they were slow to get started but are doing fine now. I kinda wish I'd done the whole potting-up thing, but what's done is done and it set me back about a week at...

    Indoor pest prevention

    Sorry, I may have mis-communicated my issue here, allow me to clarify: 1) I have had some form of pest already, possibly a caterpillar, and have treated with pyrethrin spray. 2) I am wary that having pets is one of many ways in which bugs could enter the environment (via me, I don't let the...

    Indoor pest prevention

    I started with a sterile space...is it necessary to move my plants out to re-clean the tent? I will keep the pyrethrin spray up, could veg another 3 weeks tops so hopefully will kill the bastards. Getting some sticky fly paper tomorrow. Will bomb before flowering. Can you use pyrethrin bombs...

    two plants with problems need some advice asap

    Yeah I would say see how they go, if it gets worse post back, but other than the little bits of chlorosis they are looking really bushy and healthy, if a little on the dark side. Yum yum ganja.

    Learning a Lot on First Ever Grow

    Awesome dude. NIce neat work. Still petite but you will manage. Have you thought about building a second cabinet of similar size or slightly smaller if needs be, to clone / veg in? You could do a perpetual grow then, and the small yields from the small box won't matter shit then!

    Can I BEGIN the grow in 5GAL. pots?

    I am growing in 15 litre pots and have been from seed. They were a little slow to get started but they are doing fine. As for Jim's comments about 3 gallons being sufficient indoors, I agree, but a friend of mine would strongly *dis*agree, on the grounds that he grows monster plants with very...

    two plants with problems need some advice asap

    Such an obvious point I had not even considered when diagnosing on my own plants, thanks for the common sense heads up!

    two plants with problems need some advice asap

    They do look like different problems to my inexperienced eye, plant B has issues more at the leaf edges whereas plant A more internally on the leaves. I am interested because some of mine have issues similar to your plant A. They are very dark green, is this the strain's nature or possibly a...

    Indoor pest prevention

    I've done a fair bit of reading on pest prevention but am still unsure as to my best approach. Most of the threads regarding pest prevention are to do with outdoor growing, whereas I am growing in a tent. I have already had some pest problems - I have found holes in my plants that look like...

    water feed question

    He hasn't said anything about what medium he is growing in, so adding nutes might not be the right answer! If it's a coco / hydro setup then nutes are required, but dependent on the type of soil (if it is soil) then nutes at this very early stage could be a disastrous over-fert. To the OP...
