    55 Gallon Barrel Grow (322 total watts T5 & CFL)

    It sounds awful harsh to me. I wouldn't want anyone pouring boiling water on my feet. But then again, neither would I want anyone chopping them off and hanging me upside down in a dark closet for a week lol!

    Good point about not be able to check runoff. As for the bamboo question, no I don't grow bamboo. I've tried growing Moso and a few other varieties, but in zone 6a, they don't didn't make it more than a couple years. I actually had an agent come to my house several times trying to confiscate the...

    I'm no expert, but here's my two pennies. You say you're feeding 5-1-5? Sounds like a low Phosphorous number. I give my plants min. 6-4-4 during veg. I grow in soil so things are probably different, but either way you might want to go 3-2-3 for a minute to give those plants time to adjust to the...

    I was reading a thread the other day that suggested feeding all the way up 'til harvest (if growing in soil). The same thread also made mention of watering the plants with boiling water a day or two before harvest ( i think) in order to help accelerate the cure and improve flavor. It was...

    Slow finish or am I missing something?

    No hurry really. Just don't want to pull a kramer and miss my window.

    is this a hermie or what?

    If they are white, they are probably pistils.

    I need to get the title of this thread changed, and maybe moved too. Anyone know how I go about doing that?

    If I were to change the light, I would do it by a few minutes a day, just to let them know what they should be doing. You guys both make valid points, and I appreciate your arguing. Keep it up, lol!

    I have been feeding Tiger Bloom (2-8-4) 2-3 tsp/gal per watering, 1tsp/gal grow big every 3rd watering just for fun, 2 ml cal/mag plus/gal every watering. The buds are pretty fat and dense, problem is they won't quit growing lol! Maybe I need to back off the nutes eh?

    Slow finish or am I missing something?

    I'm definitely not chopping yet. I honestly don't see how shortening the photo-period would hurt anything. Another 'well-known member' on my journal for this grow concurs with you as well. Obviously, there are mixed opinions on this topic. I may shorten 10 minutes per day, just to make sure they...

    It's not really one bud, but like a cluster of 3 or 4 buds. But yeah it is almost as big as a gallon jug, and dense too! The strange thing is that all four plants are exactly the same age and strain. I did accidentally snap the main stem almost completely off on the monster plant. I fixed it...

    You're right, sorry about that. I somehow confused your post with slinkysaurus. Maybe I'll give one more week.

    Yeah I think I'll take your advice and just keep on what I'm doing.

    Here's an update for anyone who may be interested. Plants are four months old. 3 solid months of flowering, and still not finished. Posted a thread in the plant hospital about it. Got mixed advice. Some say to shorten the photo-period, some say not to. One guy said my plant has revegged and i...

    I've never used a vaporizer. I'm sure you could though.

    Lol! It is tempting, especially since i'm smoking some shitty brick weed right now.

    Slow finish or am I missing something?

    Az2000 says shortening the photoperiod helped his plants finish, but then again, a lot can happen in two weeks anyway. But aren't the plants always on the verge of re-vegging in 12/12? It seems that decreasing the light by a couple of minutes a day would keep the plant on a fast track toward...
