    Builder's Screen to support buds

    I have started growing 20 plants in 12 inch pots placed tightly together. I pinch and top my plants. I have 4-5 foot plants with 4-6 major cola sights per plant above the canopy in the light. During the last several weeks of my last grow it was a frickin' mess. I had limbs falling over and...

    Trichome color for harvest

    I should have thought of this to begin with, talking about community and all. The owner of my local dispensary eyeballed my stuff and says 10 more days til harvest and recommends harvesting before moving to amber for a longer high. I'm taking his advice as I hope he'll be the end recipient of...

    Trichome color for harvest

    Riddleme, thanks for taking the time in putting out info. I'm sure you do it for free. I'll read your stuff when I have some time. It has been a huge help relying on more experienced growers in learning how to grow. I know a lot of experienced growers on RIU like to see NooB's read and read...

    Trichome color for harvest

    riddleme....thanks for the advice. Though I researched growing thoroughly before even putting seeds in dirt, I still like to send questions out. I don't mind weeding through the stupid opinions to get some sound advice. You sound like you have an analytical and objective mind. What is your...

    Trichome color for harvest

    I've heard to flush them two weeks before harvest and then no more h2o, at all, so the plants use up the extra nutes they have stored, so that you won't taste the nutes when you smoke. You're saying h2o till done? 420...you're saying to flush a second time? I only h2o once a week, so I...

    Trichome color for harvest

    This is my 1st grow. Can anyone see if I'm doing anything wrong? I have ceiling height issues so I topped and pinched. I have only 1 600 hps so I squeezed them all together. I now realize I'm basically growing a SOG and am going to use builders screen next time to keep my buds from falling...

    Trichome color for harvest

    I am growing some Chunky Cherry Malawi under a 600 hps in a SOG. I'm pretty sure they are known to mature in 9 weeks. I am at week 7 and I can clearly see trichome crystals standing on end with bulbs on top with a 10x's. I can't stand still long enough to see anything very well with a very small...

    Cloning

    Is it better to keep a mother for cloning than it is to take clones off my veg plants while pruning them up to go into flowering.

    pruning during flowering

    I have (2) 6" fans venting the light/heat through duct work. I've drilled holes in my floor and the air flows into the room at a rate which can be felt and blows the sawdust from the drilled holes upward, as a result of the suction created by the venting. This qualifies, in your mind, as open...

    pruning during flowering

    If you don't mind helping a newbie: I've made the assumption that if a plant grows well outside with 300ppm of carbon d, then with a fresh air supply from with-in a household of 3 people and 3 dogs, there is ample carbon d at 1000+ppm supplied to the plants. Is this reasoning correct or do I...

    pruning during flowering

    Thanks webb. I trust that you have more experience than me and I will take your advice and continue the art of not doing. I would hate to take the chance and end up with a hermie ruining the batch. That is the major concern with stress during flowering, right? I had read about stress during...

    I'm growing legally as a mmj patient in the CO. I am growing Chunky Cherries under a 600 watt hps Agro. Bulb. I am at week 2 of flowering, plants in soil. I have ceiling height issues so I have topped and pinched my plants. I now have 6-8 dominant stems with buds developing in full light. I...
