I hope it's okay to add a question to this thread. The pistils on my plants are 50-75 percent red now but I've been waiting for the trichomes to turn from clear to cloudy. In fact I heard you should watch until you start seeing a few amber ones before you harvest. Problem is I'm still waiting...

I'm still a newbie so can somebody explain that to me? If you've got a load of white hairs on a plant, then isn't that a LOT of bud growth? I thought the white hairs were the buds or at least part of them anyway, but like I say I have a lot to learn.

Mostly the temp is whatever the weather is. During October that's been like 60 degrees during the day and 40 at night, but sometimes higher. We had a lot of sun early in the month, but it's cloudy a lot now and getting cooler. Before that the temps were like 70 or 75 in the day and 50 at night...

I need to make something more clear. The plants are mostly under natural light. They sit outside in the sun at least 5 or 6 hours when its not raining and if the day sucks they sit in a window with natural light. They're only under fluorescents when I need to keep them in a windowless room like...

On my first grow. Two plants managed to survive my best efforts to kill them all. Both have dense growth, what I thought woud be beautiful colas. They're loaded with trichomes, as if somebody sprinkled them with sugar. They started getting lots of white pistils. But I kept waiting and waiting...

I voted option 2, me and close CLOSE friends. But damn it I wish I could vote me and my plants. A couple of nice guys got me started with my grow but then I learned that they were telling half of everybody they knew oh Chalcy's growing now. Just because of that I'm going to have to stop. They...

Looking sad shortly after transplanting is normal. Its transplant shock. Shocking them even more by immediately putting them into 24 hour dark was probably a lot for them to handle. Did you give them a big drink of water when you transplanted them? If not do that then make sure they get plenty...

Thanks, friends. I just followed potroast's advice and will now start praying to the garden gods. I know I might have to spray another time or two to get all the mites, so I'm trying to keep the spray to the part of the plant that's effected. ViRedd, whole crops lost? Man I think I'd break down...

Can't believe I did a search on spider mites on a marijuana board and didn't get any hits. I think I've got the little buggers on one of my three plants. This is the same plant that got bud rot a couple of weeks ago. With lots of attention I've saved her from the rot so far. But now I see...

This is a good guide! I used the dead tree version of it to start my grow. I didn't know it was online. It's old tho' and has some advice that contradicts what rollitup experts say. Like it says you can use an 8 inch pot for a full grown plant. HA. Don't do that. Don't even think about doing...

I realized very late that I planted my babies in too small pots (8"). One of the plants looks like it might do better if I transplanted it into a bigger pot. She's root bound and her soil dries out too quick. She's half way through bud, tho'. Can I transplant her at this stage? Should I...

Its getting to be that time so I've been reading up on drying and curing. The more I read the more confused I get between which is which and why. I've read silvernomad's post on curing https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/892-different-curing-methods.html?highlight=curing+drying...

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Read Window's grow guide. Read the 101 already asked questions.

LOL right. Then we could have cops busting in and shooting people to death over cigarettes, and gangsters killing each other over cigarette turf wars, and cigarettes being tucked in with cocaine shipments from Columbia, and people doing life in prison for possession of a carton in the first...

I have to make a hard decision this weekend. My baby has bud rot, and all my tries at picking off the crud and keep it from spreading by using copper fungicide aren't working. I've read and read and the advice is all over the place. Keep the humidity down, keep the air circulating 24/7, get...

LOL, that's because they're indefensible. They run the world's biggest protection racket, but that only makes them bigger gangsters than all the rest. Like mafiosi that burn your store down when you don't pay for their protection, politicians usually cause most of the evil shit they say they...

Thank you. I'll do that. I'll also stop feeding completely at least a week before harvest, and should I flush the soil in that last week, too? I wondered how all that spraying would make the bud taste. Glad you warned me early so my friends and I wouldn't have to find out the hard way.

I'll try to answer that without confusing either you or me. I didn't know that the second week I would SEE flowers is actually the fifth week of flowering. I would have to say that it was the third week after I looked at the nodes along the stem and compared them to pictures in my growers...

I was afraid of that. Damn. Besides spraying with copper, I picked off every bit of bud and leaf that I could find that looked like the fungus had hit it. I also moved the plants indoors to keep them warmer and drier. So far I don't see any additional damage. Maybe I'll luck out but right...

Thanks, Knowm and skunkushybrid. Man, I guess I did overwater. I was watering about twice a week and wondering why the plants weren't getting bigger! Live and learn. This has been an outdoor grow until now, but the weather just went to hell so I've moved my babies inside. They're under the...
