31.8g dry bud5.4g dry stem 8.5g dry trim no powdery mildew out break during the hang going into cure now it is crispy on the outside and the stems are dry but not to the point of snapping should i give it burpings more often then the norm out of caution for the pm?
Yes, at least 3 or 4 times a day and pour em out of the jar to check em at least once a day (helps to rearrange em) for a few days till your not seeing any moisture moving (by that I mean they will get damp/moist on the outside once in the jar for a day or so) once the outside stays dry when you check your good, burp once or twice a day
Oh and while were on this subject, I'll share that I like to breath into the jar (think breathing on a mirror so you can write on it) once a day after about 2 weeks of curing, I have found this keeps em fresh and tasty longer

Ed, all you can do for a wilted clone is keep it moist and wait. If the stem is properly secured in moist (not wet) medium it should recover. It can take a 2-3 days sometimes, strain depending. I've got this euphoria unlimited that takes fucking forever to drop roots (14-16 days) and it shocks bad but they come back.

lol i love it when they jump like that .. my standard rule of thumb is pump the nutes to them till they start to burn then back it off a bit then just let em roll ... watch out they will be winding around your chains like a vine next

here is something most people wont think of but its something i do and it works great for closet grows 
ever had problems getting your temps right on that small a space .. it always seems like its either too warm or too cold all the time .. well here is what you do and its is gonna sound stupid but it works liek a charm ...
for areas where you are getting plants too cold and you are getting *purplish*because of it in with your water mix black food coloring .. the black gets picked up by the plant and makes it darken its leaves which retains heat .. if done for a entire grow it will make the leaves eventually turn completely black with a greenish cast to it ..
now with most of our grows its more along the lines of the place getting too hot but that can be fixed too with the exact same application just use the color yellow instead which in turn will cause it not to retain the heat which allows the plant to not have to aspirate as much and allows for better growth/light cycles .. will over a entire grow cause the leaves to take on a goldish hue
i have experimented over the coarse of a few grows with the exact same seed for the last 3 years with this one and the most i have ever yielded has been off of plant i have been *experimenting* on
alot of people have laughed at me for telling them this but i swear on a stack of bibles it really does work and with it being a gradual buildup in the plant they take to the treatment right off the bat with NO side-effects and i have noticed littleraly NO loss of yield and in some cases a substancial increase over the average for the seed strain Averages taken over the coarse of 3 grows and then divided by 3 to get base number then base number used as base for subsiquent grows to compare.

That's a new one on me normal. I may have to try it our sometimes and see how well it works. Out of curiousity, do the buds maintain the color after harvest? Might be kind of fun to offer someone a bright purple bud and see how they react.
only color i ever got to stay to any extent is black but around Halloween if i have a harvest i try to make black buds with red hairs

look at the darkness of these leaves
this is my closet monster its name is Girlz-Gone-Wild you can see where i started to give her the black treatment then changed my mind and flowered her(4th day of) instead so im letting it wear off now... to give you the size of this plant that is a 50 gallon pot its in and you can see the numbers on the rim that is its lst points

yes its the coloring this is super skunk and it has bright almost forest green leaves almost the color of grass
here ill post a pic of then when they was younger
this is with no coloring
now the plant behind it had just gotten a good dose of black cuz my bro-in-law wanted a black one started for him you can see the black dye in its leaf veins

mine are way darker with just MG
well they aren't supposed to be black i said you can see part of it in them
that plant only had 3 waterings and they went that dark.. and in the second pic you can see where the dye is going through the leaf veins of the young-ling...if you do it the entire life of the plant you get what i call nearly black and the buds come out that way also
don't believe me try it lol it doesn't hurt anything and its a fun experiment .. i use McCormick black food coloring but any food grade black dye will work but don't do it unless your plant needs more heat because it will make them run hotter becuse the leaves will absorb more becuse of non reflective coloring

weed aint carnations.. it doesnt use color of fluid.. just what it can use.. if food coloring worked dont u think u'd see diffeent color buds all the time on here.. team colors and shit.. so i doub its food coloring tht is making it change darker.well they aren't supposed to be black i said you can see part of it in them

i have a question for anyone that is in this thread. one of my spouts has a green stem and the others are purple. could have possibly have anything to do with females or male?

No, sorry but these things just happen that way. sometimes purple happens from colder temps other times it is merely a pheno in the seed, can also be a response to nutes
what you don't want is red as it is a sign of upcomming N def (in most cases)
there are no purely proven ways to determine sex before preflowering and flowering, though there are a lot of myths, one book I have talks about counting the serated tips on the leaves then applying a math formula, pure bunk

thanks riddle, one of them is reddish purplish, if it is a nitrogen def, whats the best thing to do?
Should you experience a N deficiency with seedlings its going to be because you are over-watering like 99% of the time. N is the first nutrient deficiency to occur when plants are not able to uptake water and nutrients.
Like riddleme said dont worry about it.

Yes some of the best still use foil i do and it works great,mylar is a bitch to clean and it is to much $$$i buy the wide stuff from reynolds thick and a good reflectant cheap foil suck ever dull finish.now for ur next ? use a mh for veg it is the right color and hps for flower and the hps bulb u have now is just fine.and i do not use fan till they sprout then turn fan on to move the air in the room keep soil wet till they pop up and off in growin u go!!
