    Drying and Curing question...

    Depends on a lot of factors, bud mass, climate, airflow... I've had to dry for as long as 2 weeks. I go by how springy the buds are when squeezed, how dry the stems are... When bud is in jars, you don't want humidity any higher than 60%. It's easy to tell, if when you pop the jar the air inside...

    Am I ready to grow?

    It would be much easier to start with 6 seedlings 24/0 and flower them after 2 weeks. Ditch 3 of them, carefully transplant your females, and continue flowering. Better yet, put one female back in veg to clone for your next grow. When it comes to bagseed, always germ 2-3x what you expect to...

    First Grow. Strange symptoms.

    Sure, flushing would be a good idea. Lime will actually balance the ph. PH is determined by the amount of certain elements in your soil, namely hydrogen for acidic, and calcium and other mineral deposits for alkalinity. If you have more of one type and less of another, your PH will be up or...

    First Grow. Strange symptoms.

    The damage is on the older leaves, meaning it's a deficiency of one of the mobile elements. Nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, or zinc. Not that you aren't giving them enough, it's that they get locked out by too much of something else. Potassium is locked out by sodium, so if you have...

    Is this Mite Damage??!!!

    $12 at home depot, lowes, walmart. The wand gets under every leaf. If I was concerned about mites a few weeks from harvest, I'd drop my temps and spray plain water under the leaves daily. As long as you can keep this up, you'll keep the mite population on your plants to a minimum until...

    400hps or 600hps in my somewhat small grow area?

    This chart is pretty accurate... wattage + cfms = grow temp increase over ambient temps. It nailed my temp increase perfectly. I'm re-posting this because temps and ventilation are critical areas, thought you might be able to use it...

    First Grow. Strange symptoms.

    Your ph was a little high at 7.9 Check out this thread on nutrient lockout, good advice there....https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/8596-nutrient-lockout-explained.html If you've got lockout, then giving them more nutes will add to the problem.

    What childhood toys have fans inside them?

    Yes, fans are necessary. Cons are, your plants die. Anyways, I thought about cannibalizing one of my inflatable lawn ornaments for the fan so if your parents have that kind of stuff, by all means, break it. You could also use the fans from your dad's computer or the one above your parents...

    How much can a 2x4 stud would hold lengthwise?

    I just like solid builds, no big deal. I've seen 2x4's warp in storage with no weight on them. Matter of fact, as soon as you pick boards from the pallets they begin to warp.

    How much can a 2x4 stud would hold lengthwise?

    You can also span a 2x4 eight foot with zero weight and have it warp on it's own. I take it you have little experience with carpentry?

    Sour Deez in my closet

    Thanks man!!! I pretty much know when I'll get water down there, heavy snowmelts, rainfalls and such. I got this strain from another grower who got some seeds out of a sour diesel/mango grow. He gave me some seeds first, which I germed. Few weeks later, he gave me 3 outdoor plants that he'd...

    How much can a 2x4 stud would hold lengthwise?

    I'd make an I-beam out of 3 2x4's and 2½" deck screws. Solid as fuck.
