    First attempt at a decent grow

    You need to remove worms by hand on the plant still out there. It's a pain but worth it. Once you cut the buds the worms will vacate on their own - you'll see them hanging by webs from the drying buds. Wont be able to make it up this weekend. My wife gave me a bad cold. If the worms are...

    First attempt at a decent grow

    Any chance you can get a close up of a bud or two? Hard to tell how developed without being there but it is relatively early in the season. Keep in mind that the 8-12 week bloom period gets a bit skewed when growing outdoors. My personal recommendation, although I understand not a pleasing...

    First attempt at a decent grow

    From my experience when breeders sell a mix it's generally seeds with mixed genetics. I wouldn't be surprised if your plants are none of those but instead a mix of many of them - pollen chucking gone wild style. And considering they advertise as F1's (first time hybridization) I just might be...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Hey all, Still keeping myself busy with fish while it's hot (we're still hitting 100+ for days at a time :( ). Purchased another LED strip but this time just for my fish. $30 for 12x1w (actual 12w of power so I assume 1.5w diodes?) with lenses... grows aquatic plants great: Using...

    Awesome buds guys. I ended up with one tiny survivor which I've dried, half smoked, and stored away somewhere - no pics :( Nothing compared to your guys' buds. Well done puff and the unknown and well done so far to the rest.

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Hey all, I'm well. Just taking a forumland break while the heat is up. Been busy with aquarium stuff and the like. Actually have a few plants going under ~100w of LED which seem to be braving the heat. I'm sure I'll be back once the weather cools or once I finish out my current...

    First attempt at a decent grow

    When the temps are high like they are now they pretty much need watering everyday. As to the amount I'm not totally sure. 20g seems a tad on the high side for 65 of soil but it is hot as balls. How much runoff are you getting? If you aren't getting runoff then go with 20 all the way...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Thanks guys. I defiantly think larger containers is a good direction but at the same time I really don't need to grow during the summer. At some point I'll just get over the restlessness and accept that there is nothing I can do about the weather. I really did think it might have been the...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    I made some silly promise about not having plants indoors so it's either attic or garage and right now the attic is 130+ and the garage ~110 but peaks a bit higher. I told the lady we were moving to devils asshole and she just didn't believe me. Miserable fucking heat.

    LED Party Cup Competition - Official Thread

    I misplaced my camera this weekend but meant to withdraw regardless. I can't seem to keep anything alive atm and I'm starting to think it's just the heat which I have no means to manage. Right now we're at 107 outdoors which is ~115 in my garage with the doors open and higher with them closed...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    So I think it's just too hot. We're in the middle of a heat wave with outdoor temps ~107. My garage with the door open is 5-10 degrees higher and an additional 5 to ten with the door closed. I'm thinking the hot water due to the door being closed might have been what killed the four plants in...

    Rawr Mwootens 2012 outdoor! (2nd gen , first thread disappeared)

    Looking great Wooten. What exactly is the security? Three motion activated cameras and the rest are motion activated alarms? I put a motion activated alarm around my green house one year but was always paranoid the wind or something else would set it off when I wasn't around and would alert...

    How To Water While On Vacation

    Here is what I did and it worked great - I dropped a 460 gph pump into a 35 gallon trash can and hooked up a manifold with drip lines and drip sprinklers. The pump was plugged into a $20 digital timer than could turn on/off in increments of 1 minute. The real task is adjusting the...

    FERO 336x3W and more, perpetual 12-12

    I appreciate the response. I've actually had good luck with short veg perpetuals (1-2 weeks veg) but straight up 12/12 from seed never seems to do me well - but perhaps I'm counting this most recent blunder too heavily. I didn't realize your recent larger plants were 12/12 but the container...
