I'd personally look at trichs before chopping, but lacking that, I'd say it's done

Damn close, and good job holding back on the chop :) I'd say give it another week, but I doubt it'll be longer than that!

no where near ready, will plump and hairs will get red. All the advice on microscopes is good, it's really the most specific of the 5 indicators of ripeness (swell, trichs, glow, hairs, growth rate).

you can search around and find some flo grows that are rather impressive. However, most of the really top ones are running a lot of t5's, like 8+ tubes, and it sound like you probably got t8/t12 or something similar (not terrible, but not as effective as T5's). Anyway, the real key is going to...

The main issue between organic and hydro nutes is solubility. Organics are more complex forms of substances like nitrogen which are broken down by bacteria living in your substrate (usually soil). Hydro nutes (and other water additive nutes) are soluble, meaning the plant can absorb and use...

low watt aquarium heater, 25-50w should be fine up to 10-20 gallons

It's something like a lumen per m^2 or something god awful like that, basically just slightly brighter than the night sky with zero light pollution. This is all quite different from photosynthesis, which requires a specific light intensity to begin, but then can maintain under much lower...

few things you don't mention, like room size, or grow style. Venting is going to be your biggest concern, and short of a tent, you'll need to pull air out of the room, and have at least a passive vent to pull fresh air in from. Odor is a potential concern here, so if you're not legal, don't...

far to small for nutes. You also were watering way too much to start. So a quick rundown, overwatering, then nute burn/toxicity. It's possible you might be overcompensating and not watering enough now, hard to say. They shouldn't get 100% dry, but should be close. Leaf damage normally is...

probably not enough to feel it. To get usable amounts of canna's from leaves you need a lot (think a few oz) and an extraction method so you can take the small amounts and concentrate it. Regardless, plants store mobile nutrients in leaves, and when the plant decides to drop a leaf for any...

Totally misread the question as relating to bubble bags, lol, for hydro my answer makes no sense :) however, some info about filtered water: distilled is usually quite pure, but occasionally can contain copper from the distillation process. RO/DI water (has to be DI), if properly maintained...

it's all where you're at. If in the US most of what is good is coming from the west coast, where depending on who you know you could be paying $150-250 an oz (or substantially less if you are buying large quantity). As you move east coast the black market price goes up. I've seen oz's in new...

you don't require a flush at all, however many chemicals are broken down with metabolic processes and converted to things which effect the taste less, and most people prefer (less harsh). Regardless, after you chop a plant, there are still metabolic processes going on, mostly determined by...

yeah, and if I am remembering correctly the date is more tied into the fact that they used a base 60 system than any sort of apocalyptic recognition. Similar to how early computers stored dates leading to the 'year 2000 bug' in old codebases, simply a matter of the limitations of ways we...

came over from a thread you were asking harvest info in. On the one you got given, it's hard to say what happened before, and many leaf problems won't ever repair, leaf damage pretty much stays forever. 9-10 weeks is average for harvest windows, but it's not uncommon for 12 week strains, and...

Looks great, can't wait for your finished pics!

happy new-year and many sticky returns!

it depends on where you cut. Some places will regrow two shoots from the nearest nodes, some just one, some none. It really depends on other growth and where the clone is taken from. Read up on topping, as all the pertinent info on behavior is there, and plants behave somewhat mechanically in...

bad ass grow. Fuck all the haters! Subbed in hopes you keep it up!

I use those little white plastic stake things that every garden store sells. I've been building a DB/front end to track everything, since we have separate gardens, but haven't gotten around to finishing it yet. There's some decent software out there already to track gardens too. White-boards...
