Haha, I was about to say right after I posted that--theres a perfect picture of swollen calyxes above. And then i was like Wait a second, that post wasn't there a second ago. And then it hit me: Ninja'd!!

The calyx is the part of the plant that the pistils (hairs) grow out of. Basically, the calyxes swell up (almost like bunches of grapes) and make up most of the smokable matter in a bud. They are the little nodules that make up the bud. Sorry if I'm not explaining it well See the "balls"...

I'm no expert (on curing) but that bud looks like it is only going to get so good of a smell. You've been given some good into, seems like it being in a pile is a big problem, as well as probably the humidity of where you are trying to dry it. But in one of those pics, the bud looks straight...

Yeah, if you have weeks to go I probably wouldn't start increasing dark. However I have heard/read of people decreasing the light to 10 hours with white widow for the last week, then doing 48 hours of dark. But yeah, supposedly just doing it at the end (2-3 days as havek stated) works wonders...

Daaaayummm! Some frosty shit getting posted up in here! I'm gonna throw mine in, sorry that a few of them are under an hps but you can still see them do their twinkle twinkle. And I'd like to add, that I'm on my first grow, and even tho I have great expectations as far as honing my craft I...

Alright, well as a test I went ahead and stripped some of the colas. There were so many leaves that on 10 inch colas, it started getting lime green like 2 inches down BC it wasn't getting any light. I know defoliation is a really controversial subject, and I'm not trying to start any...

OK. I suggest you buckle up BC this is gonna probably be a long one. So let me start this out by saying I hate it when I'm right. My girlfriend hates it when I tell her I might as well have a crystal ball, BC I swear I can predict the future. My plant had pH problems at the beginning of...

Agree, either need a more detailed pic or just a little more time to tell.

Cool thread! I have a white widow plant, that I was told was a "duck foot". I'm wondering if its actually a polyploid, also. When it sprouted (from seed) it had 2 cotyledons and 1 rigid leaf instead of two. It grew strangely for a couple of nodes, and then started growing 3 leaf sets, then...

400's don't have that much penetrating power. If your plants are 5 feet tall, there is no way the light is reaching down through the plant enough for it to be able to efficiently use all the lumens. That sucks they won't ripen up. There isn't really anything wrong with a plant growing passed...

The growth does seem a little slow..probably from not enough light, as stated. But the close up of the buds look alright; I see some crystal action going on up in herrr

I suggest using botanicare's cal-mag. It also has iron in it. The plant needs 9 elements-nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (the main 3) and then calcium and magnesium. These 5 are the "macro" nutrients, or the ones needed in larger amounts. Zinc, iron, copper and molybdenum are the four micro...

Nice mother, lots of tops. I'm thinking you could easily get anywhere from 3-4 ounces, possibly more depending on how big the colas swell.up. If I were you I would transplant into a 5 gallon; I transplanted all of mine right at the beginning of flower and they all took off in the beginning...

Thanks for all the replies guys! I hope I can get this cutting thing down (no pun intended...if that even counts as a pun) BC only one of my seeds germinated for my second batch (hso OG kush) and until I make another order its my only hope for my next crop. Top fuel, I totally think you're...

Agree with adjor-- the first thing I noticed (and more important thing than the number of leaves) is the slight curl that you see. It is a minor problem with an easy fix (lift that light a little! Or put a fan blowing on it, anything to reduce your temps). If that leaf curl progresses, the...

Hey guys, I recently bought some root riot cubes in an attempt to turn my og kush into a mother, since my second lot of seeds got messed up. I tried taking a few cuttings about a week ago with no success. I think I'm keeping the cubes too wet; here's my system. I took an over watering tray...

Have you tried the habanero spray? Just dice some up in a frying pan with water, near a window with a fan in it. If you only have two weeks to go it would be a good option and hero deter the mites. Those buds are looking crazy tastey!

It could be the same formula but with differently sourced ingredients. I dunno, I don't like the fact that it looks different lol.

That's awesome, this grow was soil for me but I think I'm gonna drop the money on a nice aeroponic setup that they have at my grow store. It looks super nice; I can see a lot of benefits of going aero instead of hydro. But I have had great results with soil so I'll probably hold off. Also...

Holy shit you guys are really making my day with with this news, lol. I have been searching and searching but not able to find anything about the growth inside of those things. Maybe its like an ovum? Like a non-fertilized (or pollinated) female part. I hope you're right BC I pulled a small...
