    Cutting early

    I have to move my plants tomorrow but they still need about a week before they're really ready to be harvested. They're under a screen and getting them out will be hard unless I just cut the branches. What should I do? Is there any way I can harvest them but keep ripening them? Edit: I should...

    When does "X weeks to flower" start?

    When people say a strain takes 8 weeks to flower, does that start when you switch to 12/12 or when they start showing flowers? I switched my lights to 12/12 almost 9 weeks ago but they took almost 2 weeks to start flowering... Probably have about a week left, so I'm guessing the count starts...

    Broken Water Pumps?

    Does anyone know what happens when a water pump breaks? Can water flow backwards? I'm designing a recirculating DWC system and since I don't have much space I'm going to put the main resivour below my 5 gallon buckets. I'm going to put a float valve on the drain line going back to my main res so...

    Don't switch straight to 12/12 according to new study

    I just read an interesting article about a study that found that plants "remember" how long "night time" is and change how quickly they're using starches so they don't run out before "day time". If the length of their "night time" changes quickly they will run out of starch too early. I'm not...

    Root Rot and High Res Temps

    Ambient temps where I live have been rising to 85f, which keeps my grow tent around 90f. Yesterday I saw root rot for the first time. I thought I cleaned it up and the plant started looking healthier, but when I came home last night I could smell it around my tent and when the lights came back...

    Help, my plants stopped growing!

    I'm doing a DWC grow with Auto #1 from autoseeds. It's my first grow, and I'm growing 3 plants in 5-gallon buckets. I started 3 seeds in rockwool cubes and put them in a DIY humidity dome under a single 14w CFL. The were growing pretty well, but then I got impatient and put the seedlings in...

    Big clones?

    Sorry if this isn't the right section, I didn't see a better one. Can I take bigger clones than usual from a plant? I'm doing a medical grow with 1 small tent and I'm restricted to 3 mature plants, so I've been planning on growing autoflowering strains so I can get a harvest every 2 months...

    Ventilation and lighting overkill... options?

    I'm starting to realize my light, fan, and air filter are overkill for my tent. I've got a 600w HPS, a 6" 440CFM vortex fan (w/ speed controller), and a big carbon filter in a tiny 2'x4'x4' tent. I'm planning on using my light at 50% power for my first grow, and then try to sell it and buy a...
