    can i cut fan leavs?

    I don't know anything about autoflowers except that they seem a little unstable. I Try not to cut leaves off. If a leaf is blocking light to my buds I cut the leaf in half, halfway down the fingers as a compromise. I don't know why it is that people (myself included) want to pull fan leaves off...

    Check my plants :) 1st legit grow noob

    Looks like you've got some clones under some cfls. Looks like they are healthy. Looks like you are going to start a fire balancing your lamps on books and video game cases. Good luck on your grow!

    A dumb question.

    Awww dude, That's not nute burn. that's a deficiency. Looks like a Mag deficiency. What nutes are you using? full strength? how often? My Blueberrys don't ever get deficient in Mag, but my OGs leaves start curling under if I don't give them CalMag once a week. A soil test kit may be helpful. Are...

    lst recovery time?

    Tie the motha' DOWN! when I top or supercrop I usually give them 3 0r 4 days before flowering them, just to observe and make sure everything is ok. As far as tying , go aahead and tie em all you want , all the way through. I tie them down at first ( the day I switch them to flowering), and then...

    A dumb question.

    FLUSH! Set her on a screen over a drain and pour about 3 gallons of water through her and let it drain. When the soil begins to dry out again start the nute regimen over at half-strength. Pics would be helpful. At about week 5 of flowering most indica dominant strains will start to use nutrients...

    Flowering Time

    First off, 2 plants joined at the stem is 1 plant. This plant is Sativa dominant and can take between 10-20 weeks depending on its heritage. I don't even have a jewelers loop, I use my kids microscope with a $1 clip-light on it. I always say Im going to get a fancy LED pocket microscope for like...

    Molasses or Sucanat?

    Yes, I have been putting it in a gallon of water and oxygenating it for 24 hours. I give it to my ladies in weeks 5-8 of flowering twice a week along with their regular nutes (FoxFarm BigBloom and TigerBloom). I just figured the regular sugar was helping to feed the miccorhizae, and that the...

    D: Whats wrong with my babies?!?!

    these guys are right about the overwatering. The weird leaf formations ae from the light bouncing off the inside walls of the cup which are highly reflective. with the light coming from weird side angles instead of straight down from above the plant is a little confused about which way to form...

    OMG i broke one branch!

    It should be fine. It takes about a week for a plant to heal. Sometimes you will get a fat "knuckle" where the plant heals itself which will actually make that branch a little hardier. If it doesn't heal, no biggie. Your plants are just beginning to flower and will make up for the loss of said...

    help whole plant turned almost yellow overnight.

    Nitrogen deficiency. If your using soil, flush with 2 gallons of water and then switch the brand of nutes your using and give it to her full-strength. Most bloom formulas have very little N, so if your using half-strength, then she is getting barely any. sunbiz is right, without more background...

    Veg with HPS

    Phillips are only discontinuing certain models of CMH. Other models are being repackaged (and re-priced). GE and other brands are making them now , too. A Phillips CMH produces a far superior spectrum to an eye hortilux, with twice the life and at less than half the cost. I do believe that...

    Molasses or Sucanat?

    I have been using 1 Tbsp Slow-as Pure unsulphured blackstrap molasses along with 1/4 tsp table sugar as a bloom booster and its working great. I just found some Sucanat at the grocery store and I have heard that it works well as a bloom booster. Should I use it instead of molasses or along with...

    Ceramic MH GE vs. Phillips

    There are very tiny differences in spectrum and lumens between the various Phillips CMH bulbs. The All-start runs on a MH ballast, only uses 330 watts but has less red spectrum and lumen output, the retro runs on a HPS ballast, consumes 400 watts, has more red, and more lumens. I really don't...

    Tips on Seedlings?

    I have been growing for a while now but only from clones. I am having incredible success with DJ Shorts Blueberry and SFV OG Kush. I just got some seeds of Serious' BubbleGum. I have NEVER grown from seed before! I planted 12 in jiffy pods in a little humidome on top of a heat mat (same mat Ive...

    Need help

    That $15 light you bought at RadioShack is probably total crap and not good for the plantys. I got my first growlight from HTG supply for $80 shipping included. It is a mini-compact 150w HPS with the ballast contained inside the reflector. These things are super-versatile and user-friendly. You...

    150 hps or cfls? For new grow cab design

    I produced a QP in a similar space using a 150w HPS and 4 23w Daylight CFLs. That space is tiny, so running a 150+ cfm inline fan exhausting outside the chamber is a necessity. running it into the same room is ok as long as the room temp is kept low and there is plenty of air exchange.
