I've read b-4 that some strains are best to harvest while clear, i would cut 1 good bud dry it and try it.

Thats the craziest thing i ever heard, Have you never bought bud with seeds in it? its not "non-smokeable" it will just have seeds, if you leave the male with the female for a long period while the male is spreading pollen ur female will get so full of seeds that there wont be much left to smoke...

Depends on what kinda strain ur growing most strains need 7-10 weeks of flowering u should see color change start around week 5-7 depending on the strain. unless ur plants get stressed or root bound then it will come earlier with less yield.

Just like you when i first started growing i heard that to give em 48 hrs of dark then 12/12 was best, i've tried it and didnt see any difference than going straight to a 12/12 cycle.

Here's some info i've found helpful in diagnosing plant probs, hope this helps Sick Plant Symptoms Changes in Colour of Bottom Fan Leaves Are the leaf tips curlling up, do the leaves have yellow margins or tips with green veins Are the leaf tips curling down, do they have yellow margins...

Water when the soil looks dry, dont soak it just wet it. and if ur stem is drooping at 3-4 in. maybe add a little Mg to the water(1 tsp of epsom salt per gallon) this will strengthen the stem.

As was said, mixin females with males is how u get seeds, there is no way to increase ur female ratio other than growing feminised seeds which come from hermies. dont look at hermies as a bad thing all feminised seeds come from hermies and all females whether they come from a hermie or not...

You should check out the links provided earlier in this thread we get 150w hps for 32bucks delivered, here's a 400w metal halide for 85 E-PB4M40Q 16-inch 400-watt Prob Start MH High Bay with Acrylic Prismatic Reflector, quad-volt HPF CWA ballast. Open Rated socket and lamp included. Meets...

It's been my experience although some disagree, that the lighting doesnt effect the strenght at all just quantity, if you have a good strain it will be good little buds or good big buds. It's mostly in the genes anything you do as a farmer wont change the thc or cannibinoid strenght much at all...

I spent a lot of time and money on cfl's before i went to HPS and still use my CFL's as secondary lighting. Heres the skinny on CFL's. the first pic is a 26w CFL compared to a 105wCFL (the 105w is the biggest u can get without going to a mogul base and puts out 6900lumens of 6500K for around...

Actually there are 3 wires, (white nuetral) (black positive) and (green ground), sometimes the ballast will have white, black and a wire with no covering/color. it would be the same as a green wire, if you use the heavy duty outdoor extension cords (3 prong orange kind) they too have 3 wires...

Their not anyone who says they have gotten great results with cfl's probably havent grown with HPS or MH before. you can get good results with cfl and they are defineately cheaper to run but the GREAT crops are grown with the bigger bulbs. Think about it light is food for plants and most plants...

It does put out more heat i keep mine about 12 inches from my plant tops.

no he was right id doesnt have a cord it has 3 wires coming out of it. but all you do is get an outdoor extension cord one of those orange ones cut it strip it back exposing the 3 wires and match the color wires to the same color wires on the light then put on some wire nuts.

The lumens and kelvin temp are the most important, for vegging stage you want 5000k or above best is 6500k, for flowering you want 3500k or below best is 2700k. For autos u can and is best to use 3500k and below from start to finish. At the very least go to the site i gave you for cfl's and look...

Personally i dont harvest till about 70% of the pistols have darkened. I hope this helps to explain it. When the glandular trichomes are clear with very little, if any coloration, THC levels are at their peak with CBD and CBN both at levels that will not overly influence the THC with their...

I am retired from the military and while serving i was trained to be one of the peeps that administered the test, the only foolproof way to beat one is the whizzanator 2000, its a strap on prostectic with a built in bladder and heater cost around $200, or if you know their not going to watch you...

Ditch the cfl's and get a HPS for 20 bucks (ballast included) puts out 15,000 lumens compared to your 1,700 lumen 23 watters, check out the link! By the way you can add all the 23watters you want but it doesnt increase your lumens. One 23w cfl puts out 1700 lumens. eight 23w cfl's put out a...

By the way the 150w hps i put in my last post does include the ballast!

I've grown many different lowryder hybreds, dont worry about the cfl's drying out the soil you can always add water as long as the heat isn't damaging the plants your not to close. the lights you have will grow them but don't expect a good yeild, you need better lights, the ones you have...
