    will my seedling survive?

    Now that you've got that tube off it might be a good time to think about carefully moving into a larger pot and burying the plant deeper so at least half of that spindly stem is underground. Also try aiming a small fan so that the young plant gets a gentle work-out. Not hurricane force! You...

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    Pet, you're poisoning your own well here. Don't you see that? The BML's may actually be very good lights, but it's too soon to make that claim with any confidence. And by the time you've managed to completely annoy just about every experienced grower on here it'll be all about the messenger...

    8 Weeks of Flower, How long till Chop?

    Indicia, do you mean you're shooting for 50% amber trichomes? If so, why? According to this sticky, amber trichs contain degraded THC that's lost up to 90% of its potency.

    HELP!

    Your plant is almost certainly stressed because of the sudden transition from weak CFL light to full sun. I read a thread just this morning where some of the growers said they'll park theirs in partial shade for a few days when transitioning from indoors to outdoors. Don't hammer it with...

    Is my weed plant topped wrong? its growing sideways

    5 pages now and he still wants to know where to cut it some more. SnaFuu, in Post #81, summed it up best I think

    please help my nothern lights. thank you.

    I'm glad you got help and figured it out. As painful as it may have been at the time, a good learning experience, eh? This forum is like any other. Sometimes people are just a little cranky and they'll gang up on someone for no particular reason. Sometimes it's small things that set people...

    Is my weed plant topped wrong? its growing sideways

    I agree. adiaz, if you've been trolling just for the fun of seeing who wastes their time trying to help, shame on you. If you're not a troll, all I can say is you've picked the wrong hobby.

    Nirvana Snow White Area 51 xgs 190 first LED grow

    We had a discussion of XGS weight months ago. Seems to me someone put theirs on a scale and it came out to about 12+ lb. So figure 15 lb. shipping weight.

    Onyx Grow Bloom vs Area 51 RW-150 Gorilla Glue #4 Grow

    Interesting. I've heard over and over that the ability to select exact bins is one of the things that sets the high-end manufacturers apart from the dreaded "Chinese junk". I certainly don't mean that Onyx's or A51's or AT's are the same as the free-for-all Chinese LED market. CREE's lack of...

    What's the most honest way to express grams per watt?

    captain, do you just keep it real simple and divide all your lights consumption against the final dried bud? Do you include fans? Drivers? Come to think of it, it'd be hard to figure out the driver consumption vs. LED consumption, so never mind.

    What's the most honest way to express grams per watt?

    I agree with you, GroErr, a dedicated meter would be awesome but I doubt people are going to do that. Wait, you could put a Kill-A-Watt in cumulative mode and let it run the whole grow, couldn't you? Wouldn't that give you a number for figuring a G/KWh reading? That doesn't help for comparing...

    What's the most honest way to express grams per watt?

    Is it grams of dried, trimmed bud? Do you ignore trim, leaves, etc.? What if you added some lights during the grow? Would you figure the wattage just before harvest? In the case of an LED grow, do you include driver losses and fans? The simplest thing (and the most conservative) would be to...

    Is my weed plant topped wrong? its growing sideways

    I don't know if some of the folks who've responded have gone all the way back to Page 1 of this thread. If you fellers click back to the first post there's a picture. Ignore the clot of dirt in the branches. This poor little confused clone is into flower. Is there really any point in...

    Seedlings sprouted in one day, but they're yellow?!!

    FFOF is a solid choice as the plants get older. The one comment I've read several times is to add some dolomite lime to FFOF. But, yeah, a lot of people think it's too hot for young plants. You could start with some FF Light Warrior or some other commercial starter soil. Some of the starter...

    Is my weed plant topped wrong? its growing sideways

    Yeah, I understood that you bought a clone. Unless someone with lots of cloning experience says otherwise, I think you've got some pretty good starting points. Let the plant dry out between watering. Don't spray the foliage. Get some real potting soil that's mixed for the intended...

    Is my weed plant topped wrong? its growing sideways

    As you know there's a huge difference between Northern California and Southern California shoreline environments. You said the sun gets hot, so I'll assume you're at least south of the Bay Area. If you're so close that you're affected by fog and salt spray carried in the wind that would add...

    Tried to Top, ended up fimming, so i re-topped

    I tried FIM'ming once. Well, twice, because there were two plants. I was sickened to see all those mangled leaves rising up out of the damage for days. With one snip I'd cut into at least three forming nodes. To add insult to injury, both plants continued onward with single tops! I went in...
