    Thanks Rusty & mae, your input reduces my doubts. And there is a third factor. this mom was cut 1/3/12 so in pot yrs she is really old. Today the cola area showed a much darker green, so I think the N need has been forfilled. This is good sign, so I'll back off and try to coast her in, and not...

    Auto Feminized Seed Crop

    Nice thread snoops, I didn't even know you could do this with an auto. Saw some of this elsewhere much earlier this yr. I've been trying for a while now to fem up my fav clone. She's a Maui-Wowie special pheno, I'm currently running the great, great, great, great, great, great, great, ...

    Planting sprouted seedlings in dirt, how wet should the soil be?

    !st mistake is sprouting seed. Take seedling size pot fill with soil, saturate soil, let the pot of wet soil reach 70 to 80 degrees, plant seeds horizontal about 1/2" deep, keep soil pots temp between 75 & 80 for the next 5 day. You have now eliminated all seedling transplant problems, and the...

    whats the snizz on coco soil?

    Coir works well in a hempy bucket, and it gives you more of a soil grow feel. compared to F&D & other hydro setups. Use chunky perlite to just above the hole then fill to the top with properly prepped coir.

    Supercropping and Canopy Control

    Wire it back together, support with a stake if necessary. It will heal itself. Several grows back the hood yo-yo gave out and I split a plant down the center at the base node. I wired it up and she thrived.

    Forcing Outdoor Potted Plant to Start Flower

    This will be the final update. My girl is flowering hard now, and a few nights ago I stopped tenting her at night, and she is continuing to flower without light dep. My problem now is that she is fading early, so I continue to up her feed, I've even gone hardcore with immediate available nutes...

    I just can't stop the fade on my outdoor girl. I've slowed it down a bit, but she's still eatin' herself up early. Maybe it has to do with the large temp swings outdoors, this plant has been grown for generations indoors with < 20 F swing. Now she cycles from 92 to 54, this could be part of it...

    Really like your watering system. My problem is I haven't grown all the same strain for ever, and they all have different intervals. I'd need a valve manifold lol. So tell us how you empty your catch trays. I've seen shop vac's used, what's your method?

    Hempy,,,,,, get a bucket drill a 7/16" hole in the side 2" up from the bottom. Fill it with a soil less medium, put in a plant, water till run off out the hole, rewater when dry. It's really that simple. Hempy's are a passive hydro system, but you water them more like a soil grow. Nizza I...

    My First Hempy Bucket Grow

    Everything looks so healthy, great job man. Well you know me I have to throw in my 2 cents, and I know that the auto is past it's published date, but I'd wait until those protruding calyx receeded a little more. It looks like you will have plenty of clone sites on those two girls. Did you ever...

    Trying to figure out what it is..** PICTURE **

    Sorry to hear about that. SM's are the worst little MF's around. I've never used mighty wash but I hear it does work. If your only working with one plant then this is probably your best option. Mites take at least 3 applications no matter what product you use. Myself at 3wks I'd use a neem based...

    If you can get ladybugs they work real well for most bugs with Aphids, &Thrips at the top of the menu, spidermites being the exception.

    Need help on drying and harvesting

    Yes read up, you have lots of time. IT hasn't even showed sex, I think your biggest concern is how far off is the 1st frost in your area, you've got 2 to 4 months to go depending upon the strain.

    I have been growing for a year come October but is this done?

    Most all the bud calyx hairs have receded and I don't see any little white hairs, so yea I'll give you permission to harvest. Unless there are seeds (the photo below the lighter shots looks like there could be) if that's the case then you'll need min 4wks after sex

    Picking seeds from buds

    You will cause more damage than good trying to pick out seeds now, If its personal meds then just finish the grow out, (minimum of 4 wks after pollinating). Harvest and cure as usual, it takes longer for seeded bud to dry. The seeds come out much easier when they are fully mature and the bud is...

    Tent Setup With Hood Or CoolTube?

    A hood will out perform a tube any day. Flat glass causes less refraction of light compare to curved glass. Plus the reflector is generally better in a hood. Large hoods work great and have a better footprint. I run a 4x4 with a 2x2 hood with dual 400w CMH, and it covers the whole area really...

    Supercropping and Canopy Control

    Well I got pretty creative last night. I cut two rings out of a tomato cage. I took the 10" ring and worked it into the middle of the plant down below the "B" point, then tied the 4 mains to it. I pulled the minors in 1st then the majors over the top of the minors. I plan on continue pulling the...

    Supercropping and Canopy Control

    Thanks Shwagbag. For lights I'm running 1 hood with 2 - 400w cmh. My lights just came on so I plan on working them this light cycle. So let me get this straight, you'd recommend to take the 2 major stems to the center, and I would assume taking the 2 minors to the outside? I get what you say...

    I've got an impending height issue. I'm growing clones from a seed run. The seeds came from outdoor grows in Hawaii. Back left - unknown indica dom; Back right Duc-Foot Indica both of these in the seed run grew to over 6' out of 2 liter bottle. Front left - Big Island Thunder; Front right -...
