So I never saw this one coming. Checked on my plants today BC they've been stressed and noticed there was something other than just the stipules at the nodes of my oldest plant. They're still on 16/8 and are still getting grow formulas. Either that plants a female or I'm taking crazy pills...

I guarantee you're looking at the stipules. My girlfriend looked at my plants and got all excited when she saw them, too lol.

It looks like you have a couple indica and a couple sativa plants. Keep in mind that sativas can really stretch in flower and can get 2-3 times their size, and indices will generally only gain about half of their height, if that. Use upside down buckets or whatever to keep your canopy even...

My plants branches grow branches too-- every one of my plants. I think its BC of vegging under a metal halide, keeps em bushy. But yeah, all of my branches act like tops, and grow more branches at their nodes

Thanks, sir ganja, that's a handy little piece of info, I'll remember that. Honestly that might be one reason why I was going so long in between waterings; the plants might not have been using the water, so it was staying wet longer. I was letting them get reaalllly dry in between waterings...

Thanks for the responses guys. J, I was just reading about the si supplements, my local grow store has protekt (dyna gro) and I'll probably pick some up. Was wanting to keep it all organic but it seems like I could use it. My smart pots are 3 gallons, and actually lately I have been watering...

BTW, over/under watering also not a problem. I water every 4-5 days in smart pots and have plenty of perlite in my mix. It looks like a light problem/heat problem, which I guess its the light BC my temps are fine. They've only been under the HPS for 3 days, I turned my ballast down to 400w...

Cool, its under the .7 scale so hopefully that's fine. I worry about the chloramine BC I'm using aurora's roots organics line and I don't want to kill of my good bacteria and fungi. And yeah, I'm having problems with the "internal water pressure" of my plants; the tops are getting really...

Those lined up cool tubes are awesome... ...not toention the 30 thousand plants in there 8)

Peat moss retains water as opposed to helping drainage. Sand is also a good choice to help for drainage purposes, but perlite has tiny pores that helps hold nutrients. If you aren't going to use it (mind telling why? It works wonders in soil) then at least use the expanded clay or something...

People don't realize how easily this can happen. You can have some damn trustworthy people around you. And one of those people can bring just 1 damn trustworthy person with them. The problem is, the transitive property of trust is, well, non existent Just BC you trust person A, and they...

Advanced nutrients will really drop the pH. Nutrients almost always take the ph down. My water comes out 7.5-8.0, when I add my nutes it takes them down to like 4 right away. Mixing nutes the day before and letting them sit for 24 hours can sometimes help buffer it out some (it does with...

I had the exact same thing; "canoeing" (where they kind of fold in half) can be like magnesium deficiency (I think), but when the leaves start turning really shiny and really curling up around the jagged edges like that, its from heat. If you can get the temps under control the plants will...

Thanks j, I've been thinking of calling and asking them what they use, to at least find out if they use chloramine. I don't have an ec meter but the ppm is 200, slightly hard so I've been thinking of other options.

I water with city tap water. I've seen products at the fish store for water conditioner that dechlorinates water, and ammonia treatment (or something) that gets rid of chlorine, ammonia, and chloramine. Does anyone know if these are safe to treat water with for your plants?

I still think female is a possibility, those just look like calyxes but time will tell. I'm no expert at sexing plants, I just like googling pics of their genitalia

Try and find something other than the miracle grow brand perlite, if you plan on using advanced nutrients. They put fertilizer in it so if you don't plan on using g other nutes it would be fine, but I would look for the plain kind. You and your plant will love having that perlite, it'll really...

Ehhh, after taking a second gander it does look like its possible that there is more than just one lump, so there definitely is a possibility that it might be a male. You'll know soon just check ten times a day, lol. That's crazy, present flowers in 22 days from bag seed. Is that towards the...

I'm definitely wanting to do a run with at least one critical kush. Heard so many great things about the strain. Edit: looking good, op. I'd definitely lift the short ones and even that canopy, it'll give you some nice even colas up top, and will especially help if ytou have tall and short...

I have a 400 watt metal halide too, its really not gonna work well for flower. It seems like it does work, tho, seeing as how you have buds, but it isn't ideal. Metal halides provide blue spectrum, hps's provides more yellow/red spectrum like the sun gives off in the fall. You definitely need...
