Hi! My trichomes have seemed behind in development for a while and I just realized it's because I flushed too early. I haven't been counting the days but it's definitely been over 2 weeks. At this point there are hardly any leaves and in a day or two there probably won't be a single leaf left...

I guess why I am confused is because the buds look really done, almost all the hairs are amber, and most of the leaves have died, while the trichomes are primarily clear and milky. Also my timer broke about a week ago so the light was left on all night for two days or maybe just came on a...

Thanks DoeEyed! but I'm still worried about why the hairs seem so orange already and the trichomes are still only a little milky. I know the hairs aren't a good indicator but I thought they should be at least somewhat reflecting of where the trichomes are at.

Just checked trichomes again under 100x. The trichomes seemed way under developed for how many hairs have turned brown. Almost all the hairs are brown, except the new ones, and I only saw a couple amber headed trichomes. Also the milkyish trichomes I just looked at had amber hairs near them.

Yo! I have been flushing for two weeks and my plants are looking just about ready harvest. The problem is they grew new hairs. I have been watching the trichomes closely and they were pretty milky by the time the new hairs grew. I also don't see any trichomes turning amber yet. I have no...

I have been using the lucas formula for my first grow and it works great but if you only add 8 ml of micro and 16 ml of bloom you will only get a ppm of about 600. I've found that just keeping a 2 to 1 ratio of bloom to micro is the only thing you need to know. I have been increasing the ppm...

I would call it a nutrient recipe for beginners. I use it in conjuction with a passive hempy bucket system. I am only on my first grow, but I'm seeing great results. I recommend both hempy buckets and lucas formula as a starting place for hydroponics. The links are the threads on this forum...

Thank you street rider! Thats what I wanted to hear. I was under the impression that flora micro and bloom have all the necessary elements a plant needs. I am not using calmag and I don't think I have calcium deficiency. I would assume I don't need it but I really don't know.

I forgot to say the numbers in 0-5-10 - For Vegetative cycle and 0-8-16 - For Flowering cycle are milliliters of solution. The problem is if i wanted to have a ppm level of about a thousand I would be adding much more nutrient solution than the formula calls for. Or is the lucas formula just...

My first grow is showing great success but I have one question about nutrient measurement. I'm using the lucas formula which is: G-M-B (Grow-Micro-Bloom) 0-5-10 - For Vegetative cycle (18/6) 0-8-16 - For Flowering cycle (12/12) I also am trying o follow these measurements...

Hello, just started my first grow. I have got my hempy buckets set up with four clones for my first grow. I have added the nutrients I've deemed necessary for starting clones by reading other posts. The problem is I don't know how to tell if the roots have reached the reservoir. Everyone talks...

Hello, I have finally got my hempy buckets set up with four clones for my first grow. I have added the nutrients I've deemed necessary for starting clones by reading other posts. The problem is I don't know how to tell if the roots have reached the reservoir. Everyone talks about how that is a...

Hello! I'm currently a simple soil grower and want to switch to hydro. I have done my forum research and have decided on the hempy method using all perlite. I still don't think I know exactly what I need to manage my water/nutrient solution. The Lucas Formula seems to be like what I would want...

Does the ballast generate a good portion of total heat of the light system making it worth converting to external? If I need to create an air intake, how do you think I should do that in my situation? I was thinking I could put a computer fan in the door knob hole if the knob was removed.

So far I only have two seedlings under florescents but I will be expanding soon. I've got a HPS 250w, built in ballast probably arriving early next week. I'm worrying about the ventilation now because when the light comes, the real grow begins! I guess I forgot to take into account temperature...

Thanks! I'll take your advice. I think I'm just trying to hard because it's my first grow and I'm incredibly excited.

Hey I'm new grower and need a little more help trying to configure my ventilation. I really can't find a good way to say this, but I guess I cannot figure out where to find the best balance between air circulation and adding Co2. I have a 2'x4' closet and I am fermenting beyond what I feel...

Room temp in SoCal. About 73 degrees, no AC

Hello, I'm new to the grow community. I just set up a grow operation with two seedlings in my closet apartment that is about 2' by 3'. I have put an incredible amount of time into internet research but I cannot find anything on ventilation systems that I'm satisfied with. I don't understand how...
