I'm just gonna chime in here because no-one has mentioned it, but if your window sill gets a lot of direct sunshine then it will be enough light to grow a pretty healthy plant...if you live somewhere sunny. The chernobyl I'm currently growing was vegged on a window sill over summer, although I...

If you look closely in the shot below you can see some yellow within the bud. There are maybe 5 bud sites showing this. It's hard to see clearly through all the trichomes, but looks to be yellow "calyx" tips rather than yellow sugar leaf... It doesn't really look like new bud development, and...

Like the goddam motherf&*%^ng mook I am....when I took out the plug to the HPS and changed in the CFL I must have knocked a load of timer switches...because I noticed the light on at 1am last night when she should have been asleep. (she's been on 8am to 7:30pm cycle) To compound my stupidity, I...

All good options. Another benefit of the more expensive one over the other is that it has a pretty standard size attachment screw on the bracket holding the microscope itself, so you could potentially use a camera tripod or even...I was thinking a microphone stand (which would help getting...

They've got a very narrow depth of field, so you'll never get everything in focus unless its under a slide....but...the stands on both of these are a bit wobbly, and the focus wheels are far too hard to turn, which means every time you focus you also move the microscope, which makes it very hard...

Easy peasy for me. It's 240V, so I just wired it straight to a plug... I didn't even have proper wire to hand, so used some old fat speaker cable I had lying around.

Today's snapshot shows the leaf colours more accurately. I've just had to switch off the HPS as the temps were hitting 33C!! She's only got a 75W CFL on her right now.

For info...The small quiet one I bought was an epicair SRD100. It is very quiet, as I mentioned, but only just big enough for my 2ft x 2ft tent. (and I should probably be running the bigger fan now I'm in flower... RVK is a pretty reliable brand for bigger inline fans, but nothing fancy.

Buy as big a carbon filter as your fan can handle too. No point skimping on that if odor control is important.

That depends entirely on the size of space you need to ventilate. I have an inline fan which is very quiet but not powerful, and I have an RVK which is very powerful but is definitely not quiet (even though it is sold as a quiet fan). Noise depends more on fan size and speed than brand...until...

If anyone else has other USB microscope brands and want to add to this comparison then feel free to post your best pics here, but please make sure you mention which brand it's from so people can use the information.

I put these pics in my grow, but though I'd share it here, since this is where everyone interested in trichomes will eventually end up!! I bought two USB microscopes this week and to save anyone else the bother of buying both I thought I'd add my comparison pics. Basically both will do the...

I've actually still been giving her a light feed every now and again with worm-casting tea...but she's still looking a bit too hungry for my tastes. I'll give her another final does of that tomorrow I think. While I'm pretty happy where she is I don't want that deficiency creeping into the bud...

A month tops, but I'd actually be willing to put a small wager on it being a bit less. Usually, if there was a full month to go I'd expect to see more white pistils than red. But yeah...definitely a at least 1-2 weeks more at a minimum based on the trichs. (Give her a bit more time if she...

ETA 9 Days. Lots of reds now.

This is good of you to do. Personally I tend not to do anything to my plants...so I have no real-world experience of how plants react to heavy pruning, however I'd always read that pruning was used to keep plants low. This implies (to me at least) that "didn't do jack" plants will (all else...

The top leaves are definitely burnt from the light. Unhealthy leaves will always fry quicker than healthy leaves. The rest of the symptoms are a bit of a mix though. Given that you seem to be displaying signs of deficiency (based on the colour of leaves) as well as signs of nute burn...I would...

LOL. The emphasis being on "try" :p Like a lot of people living in countries where the law isn't in their favour I'm often short of good smoke, so it's easy to start eyeing up your blossoming ladies and think, "that'll do". ...<put down his scissors and zips up the tent>...

Milky trichs everywhere I look. A few amber ones on sugar leaves here and there, but maybe 20% clear/mostly clear, 75% mostly milky, 5% light amber. A few straggler calyxes and pistils still emerging in places, but I'm still thinking harvest should be about 10 days. 15 at the very most...

That's not at all how I think it's defined.... "Pre-flower" is the flowers that you see prior to the plant being hormonally "in flower" (i.e. 12/12 light). They indicate that the plant is sexually mature, even if you have 24 hrs light a day. (I've seen this happen when I used to run 24hrs for...
