    reveging and outdoor plant? Any ideas?

    I've got a real keeper plant, outdoors in the ground. The strain is Mr Nice, about 3 weeks from harvest. I could not get clones from befor she flowered ( my biggest mistake). Now I am wondering if it would be possible, after harvesting, to reveg her to keep the strain going? My idea is to...

    About to lose 16 purple widows. 8 feet tall to mold what can i do?

    Last year I had some mold problems on my grow. I treated with the milk/baking soda solution and had pretty good results in keeping it under control. I used 1/4 cup skim milk + 1 tblspoon baking soda to 1 gal water and sprayed onto the affected areas. The idea behind this is to change the ph of...

    Strange bug problem

    I'm growing several different strains in an outdoor grow. For the last couple of weeks I've noticed that something is chewing the stalk just under the newly forming buds, killing them. Its not reached the point of panic just yet, but I've seen nothing quite like this on any of my previous grows...

    Mr. Nice indica strain from heaven

    I've got 6 Mr. Nice growing right now, about a month from harvest. Havent had the opertunity to give it a smoke test yet but I have to say this is by far the best grow I've had. Planted clones on May 15, its now mid Aug and they are all doing great at 5 ft. plus and just as big around. Flowers...

    What could have done this?

    I've got the same thing on several of my plants. It doesn't seem to be too invasive. I think some kind of bug eating the leaves. Maybe grasshoppers or some kind of moth? Haven't been able to catch any of the critters in the act though so I don't know for sure. As long as its only a few leaves I...

    How tall should they be by now?

    two lbs per plant is a little over the top as far as I can see. I generally shoot for a lb per plant in my calculations. If I get more than that than I consider it a bonus.The blue dream is a good producer and I've seen them get huge ( 3 or more lbs. per plant). Not experienced in the other...

    How tall should they be by now?

    you don't mention the strain. I have a sativa strain ( Arjans Haze) that is over 9 ft. tall right next to an indica strain that is only 4 ft. tall. It depends on strain, when they went into the ground and many other issues. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just keep feeding and don't try and...

    plants starting to budding 35 degrees N

    Did you gradually decrease the light while they where indoors to match the light6 when they will be planted outdoors? When I am going to transplant to an outdoor grow, I decrease my lighting on those plants by about 1/2 hr a week untill it matches what the available lighting will be outdoors on...

    home made pressing screen?

    Howdy folks. I'm new to hash making and will be doing a run of bubble in the morning. However I do not have a 'pressing screen' for drying. Is there a suitable home made replacement that I could make myself out of household items? Is a pressing screen really needed? Other ways to finish off the...

    who thinks that they got the biggest outdoor plant so far this season?!!

    I've got one Arjans Haze that I put in the ground around May 10. She was aprox 2 ft. in height when I planted her. I didn't top or otherwise train her, but now I am regreating that decision. Planted in 45 gal. smart pot with my own mix, she now is 81 inches tall. Its a bit scary as I have no...

    brown splotches on fan leaves

    No its been composting for about 4 months, Although I did think that maybe it could have been a contributing factor. Last year I didn't use any and had no problems. Maybe it is to hot for the, not much I can do about that now though.

    dreadlocks on my colas

    So its caused by heat and genetics? I know that controling heat in my setup is less than ideal. I've had it go as high as in the 90's and as low as the 40's. I've since added a portable swamp cooler to my room ( not enough available electicity for a air conditioner). Low temps arn't a problem...

    brown splotches on fan leaves

    I've got several plants, outdoors in 45 gal smart pots, that have developed brown splotches on the leaves. As this is only the third time I have grown outdoors, and am relatively inexperianced, I wonder if this is something I should be concerned about? Soil is a 80% compost / 20 worm castings...

    yes , thats it. I had no idea what it was called. Is it something I should worry about? or is it just some kind of strain dependant thingy?

    dreadlocks on my colas

    Haven't seen much info on this, but I have 6 master kush, growing indoors in soil. Under 400 watt hps lamps. I'm getting real close to harvest ( about 2 weeks away) and I notice a lot of new growth on my colas. They look like dreadlocks and they cover the cola. Is this normal or a reaction to...

    2-3 Weeks From harvest and plants are starting to look like crap

    Two things you did wrong: Water only when the plant really needs it. By overwatering you are drowning your plant. They can not take in the reqired oxygen and nutriants due to being choked by all that water. The roots will start to rot and be unable to supply what the plant needs so she trys to...

    A bit worried.....

    Your looking fine, just give them time. Many people who plant outdoors have started them indoors way ahead of planting time and thats why they look bigger and meatier. They are too young to top or lst, if thats what you wish to do. wait until they have some growth to them, say 7 or 8 'branches;'...
