imma check out that website. regarding the two ways you mention for checking out seeds, that s what we ve been doing with the seeds from our previous harvest, but since they are seeds from our dealer's pot sometimes they just rot before germination... but so far they look good. i ll let you know and thanks for the link. by the way we saw your youtube video and almost cried... u motherf/()&%$!! haha they look real good. and credit card IS an option here so i ll def check it!
buenos humos!

bagseed is always a risky grow.. if the mother had a disease its passed to the seeds... they could be old seeds... the genetics could just be weak.. its best to try to buy seeds from a reputable breeder/bank.. also.. spend the extra money for fem'd seeds.. its worth it!!

oh.. and thanks for the compliments.. i ended up with 2.5lbs off of 9 plants on what was a pretty shaky first attempt at hydro... but i cant be mad.. all and all it wasnt a bad grow..

i am in flordia and want an oudoor strain that yiels alot but can take 100 percent humidity have durban poision
know any
there is no strain that can take 100% humidty.. at that humidity level transpiration in the leaves is stopped, and the plant will basically choke itself off and die.. it wont be able to breath...
 
its not always 100% humidity but stays around 70-80 percent in August last year i tried several strains and most got bud mold Durban didnt nor Jamaciaqn pearl only got 4 elbows for the whole summer know any strain i could try

I'm growing hydro in an enclosed cabinet with about 4' of height room. Ending 1st wk of flower and plants are already within 16" of lamp. It seems I must crop them but I've been told flower is too late for cropping. Haven't been able to sex them yet, so I'm thinking there will be some more room when males are gone, and then I can scrog remaining females. So - should I crop now (and where/how should I do it) or should I wait for sexing and then scrog?
thanks!
Thanks for the response. My concern is that I will soon run out of height space. To be more precise: I'm growing in a cabinet where the lamp is a fixed height. I'm thinking I should do nothing until I can sex the plants, get rid of the males, making room to start bending the females. My understanding from your response and other readings is that I'm taking big chance by trying to slow growth once in flower. That pretty much leaves bending them as best I can (the actual grow space in cabinet is pretty small: 2'2"x2'5"x2'8" - see www.bcnorthernlights.com 'Roommate'). Does this sound right to you?
thanks again.

if your light is at a fixed height try to raise the plants themselves to get closer to the light... the closer the better.. and the faster the growth..

although this is not a recommendation, you can do some pruning early into flowering.. throughout the first couple weeks there are still some growth hormones left that have not been replaced with flower hormones.. this means you can get away with a little pruning.. it may slow your flowering time down some.. maybe up to a week...

its hard to say what your best option is without seeing the plants themselves.. but i would, based on what you've said, let them go until you know the sex, then start trying to tie them down or LST'in them...

Not trying to hijack anyones thread here, but active thread right....

My Current set up: 20 X Kush babies from seed 2 weeks old, under 4 X 23W and 2 X 42W CFL. Soiless Promix soil, and have used DNF nutes at 1/4 solution and everyone is doing GREAT!.

I have a 400W MH conversion bulb ready to go and the room set up to RUN, however, do I upcan first and then put them under the new light (hung up high) or get them outta the veg cab and get them under the big light, couple days, then upcan to the 2gallon pots.

LMK what you think.

hey bro... glad to see your girls look so nice...

with the plants being that short you should be pretty well off.. the 400w will supply you with some very very respectable buds for sure.. nothing to be upset about by any means..

of course it wont be as much as if you used a 600 or 1000.. but im sure you already knew that bongsmilie

i will tell you all the nutes i've used and my experience with them...

i used technaflora's BC line for a grow.. just had a sample pack.. which was enough to get me through... had good results.. the grow itself was a little flaky... but i could tell a huge difference using the nutes over prior grows were i didnt use them (i used nutes.. just mainly teas tho)... i probably wouldnt buy the line again... not because of preformance.. just because i personally liked what i moved onto better...

after the technaflora i went with GH and have used it for a while.. its a good line... good results.. easy to use... has all the additives you may want to use.. but works good as a stand alone system as well... 2 and 3 parts for whatever you want...

i am now making the gradual switch to advanced nutes... i am either sticking with GH or AN.. but i need to get to the AN line to see the difference.. i am hoping it will be good.. i've heard NOTHING but praises and good things about the line.. plus its tailor made to grow "our kind of plants".. its posted all over their site.. they cant say what "our kind of plants" are on the site to keep it legal.. but i think we all know... bongsmilie

its been kind of unfair comparisons also.. everytime i used a new nute i added a bunch of extra shit to my grow.. new lights.. new hydro system.. new exhaust.. even new location.. so i cant be 100% sure that my findings with technaflora vs GH are right.. or even in the end what those two verse the AN does.. but something tells me, that with the experience i have, i should get a good idea of how they worked comparitvely tho..
