Are you going for a heady high or couch lock type high? 3 of my girls I started flooding when I saw a few amber trichomes; most were milky or cloudy when I started the flood.

I think there's a completed journal on this site using that light --> Here. He's got another grow going but it's on another site.

I tried flooding 3 of my plants pre harvest; 2 for 24 hours light and 48 hours darkness and the other plant for 36 hours light and 24 hours darkness. All plants are harvested now and have just placed the final cola into a large jar for curing. I've found the flooded plants to have seemed to cure...

Not sure but it looks as if you still have branches coming out of the bottom 1/3 of your plants? Lollipopping removes the stems entirely (like the pics in this thread). Removing the branches entirely allows flowering hormones to focus on the top colas instead of "popcorn" buds that you'd get on...

Wow I did not know that. I read the book almost 10 years ago and have since reread it along with Hawking's A Brief History of Time. I'm really interested in the book comparing Rome with modern day U.S. It's definitely on my "to read" list as of now. There's another book I've read that might...

Nice to see some recommended reading material. A few that I've read in the past that I'd recommend. 1. Brian Greene's Elegant Universe - Talks about string theory in layman's terms. Most of it is still beyond my comprehension but Greene manages to make the gist of what he's talking about...

That looks fantastic man. I had several small buds/branches break off before I actually harvested as well. I tried the water cure for them and am smoking the results until my regular harvest is cured. How's it smell?

I'll be using an iceolater type system as it seemed to me the easiest to do. I don't really want to be messing around with explosive crap just quite yet and the other methods I've read about seem much to involved.

Well here are some pics of what I rigged up for my auto curer. This thing is very basic but seems to be able to do what I want it to do. Might have some problems on volume though and I'm kinda worried about the buds not being moved about a bit. Basically it's a 1/2 gallon jar with 2 small...

Well when I did my pruning I cut everything below a certain level (about 1/3). I did my pruning all in one day but you could do it in 2-3 days as well.

Hey looking good there KOTG. My .02 is to prune the bottom 1/3 of your plants. It'd probably delay harvest by a week or so (for them to recover) but I think you'd see an increase in yield. This is especially true if you feel your light penetration is weak on the lower portions of your plants...

I wouldn't turn off the other spectrum in your LED for flowering even if you're worried about ending canopy height. While I know that the red spectrum is ideal for flowering, adding at least blue spectrum is going to help in bud formation as well later on. The blue spectrum will also help with...

Sucks when a timer doesn't work doesn't it? I almost killed my mother plant due to a faulty timer. At any rate, based on limited info, you should let your plants get 12 hours darkness before you switch again. My reasoning is that experiments have been done with extended light schedules on...

I'm sure that the 2nd exhaust hole allows a small amount of moisture be released as this rigged system isn't air tight. From my 1st few tests I found the RH to peak and stabilize at 70% so moisture is being retained somewhat.

Yea pretty much. I took a 1/2 gallon jar with a metal screw top. Poked 2 holes in the top, 1 for air-pump tubing going out to a small air pump and the other just for exhaust (I made 2nd hole smaller). Digital timer attached to the air pump and a hygrometer inside the jar with the buds. I...

Well I pieced together what I'll be using to "auto-cure" a small amount of buds. Initial testing done on a few small buds in a large 1/2 gallon jar makes me think this will work great. Here's what I used: 1. Large 1/2 gallon jar. It's not exactly a "mason" jar but it is glass and it does have...

True that. You're going to love hand hash btw. So far the harvest is going well. My timing is a bit off; I'll be out of town again in 10 days for 5 days so jar curing is going to be a problem. I made an automated jar curer that will expel and replace the air inside a jar every X amount of...

Wow they are looking fantastic! I've already chopped 3 of my girls down and am chopping the 4th down tonight. I flooded 2 for 36-48 hours lights on and 24-48 hours lights off to see how it compares to the normal flush method. Man your hands are going to be so cramped manicuring that jungle lol.

He's got a journal grow in the same area of the forums here with pics and yes they look pretty crowded. I agree with lollipopping pruning for maximizing his space used but I think he could get away with doing it all in 1-2 days (bottom 1/3 of his plant). This is precisely what I did with 1/2...

I actually thought at the beginning of my flowering that 24 hours of darkness induced plants to flower quicker. I had believed I had read this in Cervantes' Grow Bible but when I tried to find the same info later I could not find it. That being said I don't think the difference between 24 hours...
