I have never had good results from adding seaweed during flower. Something about the hormones in seaweed, it tends to make the buds more airy which causes them to look bigger until you dry them and the shrink like crazy. I stopped using it and the problem went away and flowering times shortened...

Love the pictures by the way, that is the most exciting stage when the buds start to look like puff balls and you can't wait for them to grow together into nice bigs colas. GREAT JOB BTW. That is the correct shade of green!! A tid bit lighter than I would allow but so close I wouldn't touch...

I will say that quartering the roots of certain plants, namely rhododendrons, is very helpful, with pot being a herbaceous plant, it tends to be enough just roughing them up a bit. I tend to not bother unless it's a mom. I have yet to have anything get root bound including a tree I have growing...

Keeping temp in optimal range will help them grow faster. So if it's getting below the 64* F during night hours then I would consider adding a source of heat. However, if temps can get above 72 with lights on then I would let it get a little cooler to help keep the heat down when lights are on...

I would add a week and see if they look ready then. I didn't look into the strain but they look like hybrids and OG sounds like a Kush which is indica. I would say, if everything else has been good, that you may have a more saliva leaning pheno/'s. Mostly because Kush likes to get nice and fat...

I should also add that heat does not determine rate of metabolism. The enzymes used to break down sugars in the mitochondria, and or control reaction durning the Kreb cycle etc... Too much heat can render them inactive so it is best to keep the heat within the optimal range. In fact most money...

Stomatas open in good conditions not due to heat. Plants use their guard cells to close the stomata in high heat to conserve moister. So plants like C4 don't open them till night time when the heat is at its lowest and humidity is at its highest. With the addition of CO2, heat can be higher...

When it comes to lights, and this is my personal view not meant to start an argument. I found that the Old fashion ballast style is still the gold standard used in most industrial grows to this day. When it comes to light penetration you really cant beat HPS. Flouros are good for veg and will...

My best advice that I discovered works like this. start with what you can get near to you. If it has to be shipped than that's a bummer but you can work with it. It best to get local or semi local so if something happens you can go grab what you need and not have to grab something you haven't...

I get it that it would seem to be a problem it is natural to freak out when something happens and you don't want to risk anything. Others have posted more detailed explanations that have more science to back it up mixed with experiences. If it is this much of a problem by all means pull the...

I noticed a few post that have info that are debatable. one is with shade leave and removing them. I have done both and cant really say I noticed a difference either way. It is best to wait till half way through flowering to when they are not needed. However, when you think of it in terms of...

Did you say COCO outside. I hope not in the rain! last thing you need is for it to be watered by rain water. Coco is a form of hydro thus you really can only let it have water with a COCO specific brand Nutrient or some actually add Cal Mag and use any line. Personally I just like using a brand...

I would start by being happy. LOL the more the merrier man. And this is called a stretch which happens when you switch over to 12/12. every strain has it own degree of stretching. on average most plants with grow to double what they were when you put them in to flower. Their metabolism goes...

I would not concern myself with ph of runoff and here is why. Coco has a buffering effect and helps to prevent Ph swings, to a degree. but to get a true reading for where the medium is at you need to take a small amount and go through this process to find out and in the end it amounts to very...

I have long since downsized from years ago and went solo as well. currently I have a 580 CFM fan with Carbon scrubber and that is just for one 8X8X4 room. not to mention circulation fans. Even with the close quarters and massive airflow, I have yet to have a problem. I do miss my old setup, had...

wow, it gets very hot where you are. The highest I have ever seen the temps where I live was about that temp and that was a long time ago. Winter here is longer and we get around -28 consistently for the bulk of it. its starter mix, so it really doesn't have much to begin with. Give her some...

I would say it sounds the same to what I have had and I got 10 years. You, or someone else, might of missed a small ball sac hanging on one of the lowest branches and one of those will pollinate an entire room with ease. Sometimes nanners are produced from late flower or just stress. If the...

Bananas, in my experience tends to mean that she is ripe and when you let any plant go a little longer they can produce that since they never got any pollen. Now any pollination with a banana tend to be very local as in the same bud you found it and at 8 weeks I would just pluck the banana and...

Well, my first thought was that the medium you are using is too hot and root development was slowed from being burnt. However you say it is a seed staring mix. The true leaves are starting to straighten out but if you notice your seed leaves have almost been depleted to get the seedling this far...

To make sure I'm clear on what I meant about the light. It doesn't matter because your temps are good and the top leaves are not canoeing or have some yellow splotches that will look like a K def or cal mag def. most will suggest CFL or lower wattage light do to less heat and intensity so...
