Hah, thanks man, I always post in the newb section since this is my first grow. Anyways, yeah I've looked up tons of pics of Hermies (not recently) and have already seen what a male looks like, and I had one plant hermie early on, showing both sets of preflowers, but they weren't mixed...

Hey guys, I pulled the plant out from my tent to get better pics. I'm sitting beside my t5s, half are 6400 and half are 2700 but the pictures turned out a lot better. Let me know if these help any more at telling what's going on. And heres a couple that show what I'm pretty sure is nute...

Yeah I tell you what-- I had read about how the blue spectrum helps encourage plants to be short with tight internode spacing, but I thought it was one of those things where the difference is negligible. But now that I have a metal halide, and an hps to compare it to--that blue spectrum shit...

Okay, so that video got me fired up. When are we gonna start planning crit's escape? I knew some pharmacy robbers once, they had a great smash-and-grab plan. Just roll right up to the place with a big ass truck, pulling a trailer, that has a wrecking ball sitting on it-pilot in chair, engine...

Viva libertad! The man is still free!! And roaming the land of down under like a bum, using library internet! Good to know you can handle this man. I've been in the same situation, having my old lady throw me under the bus. Not with plants, but still.. Something about me banging a...

If you research the plants tissues on any particular stalk/branch, you will see that it has 2 layers- a "tube" in the middle called phloem, and then the outside layer is called "xylem". The phloem carries nutrients and water to the tips/extremities, and the xylem carries them back down. When...

Oh lord... Haha. Anyways, man was there any difference in the curing process?

Okay, check it out: that 3 number ratio, known as the NPK ratio, shows the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium in that order. So the African violet is 7% nitrogen, 7% phosphorus, and 7% potassium-- equal parts of each one. When growing Mary j, you need certain nutrients at certain...

I'm a huge believer in smart pots. I used plastic pots at first with plenty of holes for drainage, and they just don't compare to the root pots. They dry out faster (so you can feed more/flush easier) and the root system grows PERFECTLY. The roots grow to the side/bottom and then start...

Give us an update tomorrow, you should see new growth pretty quickly with that little guy if all is well

Dskeens, its impolite to thread jack ;). Sorry for sounding mean but if you start your own thread I'd be happy to help you out, as I'm sure would others as well. (Ninja'd^^^) Anyways, I agree with jerry-- I've done the sprayer thing with Dixie cups, and unless you sit there spraying for like 2...

Thanks for all the replies guys. Im gonna see what I can do about better pixs, I'm not gonna be home for a few hours and I was in a hurry anyways. I'm really hoping they're not bananas, but it's only on the very top buds on one plant so I was kind of hoping it was a mix of a heavy feeding + a...

Okay, so only one plant has these, and I'm reallllllly hoping that its a form of nute burn, not a form of male genitalia. Here's the culprit, looks like the base/calyx of the pistils are swelling or something. Sorry for the shitty photos my camera sucks Someone give me some not so horrible...

Yeah, if they are showing pistils then it shouldn't be long at all before they start to flower. All in all, you've got some nice healthy plants! The size looks good for 3 weeks (28 days is 4 but still not bad for their size) and the leaves are nice and green, and reaching up for the sky. I...

I love innovation, but I love unorthodox innovation even better.

I think what he meant is to check the pH of the water, and not to worry about checking the soil. And he does have a point; when I started out a few months ago, I bought a burpee "soil pH detector" and it was a load of balls. It didn't work at all, especially not for what I was trying to do...

Well, I, for one, learned something new here today on sesame street. The letter of the day is "V" for re-Veg. And now, back to the Count to see how many days left in flower...

Awesome, thanks once again stew, for your wisdom. Much appreciated.

If you want an answer based off of my experience, NO!!! LEDs just don't quite have the nuts in my opinion. Yes, you can absolutely grow dank bud, but to get the same amount of photosynthesis/sugar production to match a 1000w hps, you would need a hell of a lot of watts worth of LED. Probably...

I use the xxxl hood, also, with the 6" port. I also have a 1000w (+ turbo charged 1100w) ballast, which both are definitely overkill in my 4x2 tent. BUT! The nice thing about buying more than I needed, was that I don't need to upgrade when I get a bigger space. Just food for thought, I'm sure...
