    iNTERRUPTING DARK PERIOD BY ONE HOUR MAKES MORE FEMALES

    Actually, this is probably wrong. Cannabis has been found to more than likely have a more complicated sex determining mechanism than the dioecious XY system like that of humans. 80 years ago this is what was thought, but not today. Often this supposed system is referred to as the X:A system...

    how much do u know about electricity? +reps given

    It is possible that all the information you need is not going to be on the fans, or the chargers. Do you know how many watts the fans use under normal use? The voltages they are rated to run at? Or the resistance of the chargers (in Ohms, or the Omega symbol) If so, you can get a concrete...

    THSeeds Wreckage question

    Is anybody else growing out the Wreckage that Attitude was giving out as freebies last month? They were said to be regular seeds, not fem. I guess I got lucky because all three germed and were girls. Just a little background info before the question. They grew extremely fast at...

    how much heat 250hps compared to a 400hps

    Really the 250W is not going to be that much cooler than the 400W. If you have a decent ventilation and exhaust setup then you should be good. Just don't think you will be able to close the closet off and seal that light in there with no exhaust, it will be an oven in there! There are cheap...

    Need to find minor Nutes. +rep for help

    Blackstrap molasses has way more than just sulphur and potassium. It won't be on the label, but they are there.

    DIY Fan speed controller

    Before you do that you may want to check these out. $20 bucks...they are router power tool speed controls. I haven't tried it but have read they work for high velocity can fans and in-line fans. They are rated for 120V and 15A max...

    fixing pH in soil???

    It is extremely important to adjust the pH of your nutrient solutions, unless you are just watering with the same plain water the whole grow, and never adding ferts. If you water one day with plain tap water, unamended, and let's say it has a pH of 7.5. Then 3 days later your plant needs...

    producing more trichomes!!!

    It is a very old method. I have read that it is basically an old wives tale or urban myth, but I would love to hear somebody show that it works. I haven't seen a side by side comparison of course so I don't know, but I have read posts by veteran growers saying they tried the ole' tack through...

    True to the bagseed.

    Yea Vegas looks good mate. I've had some killer stuff grown from bagseeds. I grow from ordered seeds now but still keep some of my strains from bagseeds around because they were that good.

    SSUG's Fem'd A/F LR2 grow off: the quest for diggity dank

    Oh yea, and if you feel you really need to give it some bloom nutes now, I only fertilize my plants when the soil is moist. This way you only have to add a little to get it to soak through the soil. So dropping a couple drops evenly across your soil surface won't over-water your plants or...

    SSUG's Fem'd A/F LR2 grow off: the quest for diggity dank

    Colored pistils are usually genetics, and not indicative of any problem. Unless of course they just burned from the light being too close, but probably wouldn't turn an exotic color like pink or purple. Consider yourself lucky. One of my first grows had pink pistils and many experienced...

    producing more trichomes!!!

    To the OP, I too have heard this, but I think that it works better when you decrease heat and decrease humidity. Mother nature does it best, and typically this is what happens to the plant outdoors. Also, some people swear upon a 36 hour period of darkness before harvest, to encourage the...

    fixing pH in soil???

    Try not to worry about what your runoff pH is in the future, because if you start off with good soil and continuously pH adjust the water you are feeding your plant, the pH should never get so out of whack. If you are watering now with around 6.0 and the runoff is coming out 7.4, your soil is...

    Molasses Basic Question??

    You are supposed to adjust the water or nutrient solution's pH before you water the plant with it, not the soil. If you are using a good soil like FFOF then it comes at the right pH, you just have to continue watering with the appropriate pH.

    Need to find minor Nutes. +rep for help

    Blackstrap molasses has all these as well, just make sure you don't buy unsulphured (DUH!). Much cheaper too BTW, and your organics in your FFOF will love it.

    Bloom booster? when?

    I see 12-55-6 on the bottle, and your girls have bud set and nice healthy foliage so they are ready for a fert such as that. It would be better if it had less N but it will do, your buds want phosphorus, and lots of it! Unless you have a TDS meter I wouldn't use 2 tsp/gal to start. I would...

    any flushing or plant rinsing ideas?

    Some strains will be ready while they still have a majority of white pistils. I know people used to say harvest when the "hairs" are X% brown or whatever, it's hogwash. The hairs that are white when harvested will turn the same color when drying, trust me. Use trichomes as your indicator, but...

    nutes to increase smell one week before harvest

    The elements that seem to really improve flavor and aroma have the best effect on cannabis during the middle weeks of flower, so in an 8 week flowering strain that would be weeks 3, 4, 5, and 6. I use Botanicare Sweet during these weeks. I have read before that you can water your plant with a...

    Whats the best and cheapest way to raise humidity in my room?

    I know from my mushroom cultivating that digital hygrometers are oftentimes very inaccurate, especially when reading in the extremes. From 40 to 60 % RH they may be relatively accurate. Note, I am talking about your typical cheap Wally World digital hygrometer, but this is probably what you...
