Welcome New Members!

Hey everyone im new here. Whats up! I've got a skywalker og seedling , and 2 g13 clones that just showed some roots yesterday,
10 days and got roots from a just starting to pre flower mother clone. i am using a sunsystems lamp with the t5 42w floros, just the floros
about 14 inches from the plants. Going all organic using ffof soil. My question is first about the lighting, should I turn on the 150watt hps
lamp along with the t5's? I am just running the t5 for now. Is this enough light? Seedling seems like it could grow a little faster, but still looks ok for 17 days though. I am running it 24/7. Any help would be good. I have grown one time before, and this is my 2nd grow!
Any helpful insight will be great. I am vegging until July or so than its going out doors for some So Cal Summer Sun!! See my photos any advice is awesome thanks Brothers and Sisters!!

that didnt work right quote thing

Noobie checking in here to say Hi, although I registered back in 09, I'm just now getting around to introducing myself.

I'm not new to growing, I've been growing for 17 years. and currently run 5k watts on light movers in a ebb n gro system with 72 buckets. i'm in and around the bend Oregon area. looking to make a few clone connections. but don't have enough posts to send and receive PM's.

Hello RIU members. New to the site, new to growing (1st attempt), long time smoker (over 40 yrs). I'm kinda old school and I don't understand most of the lingo but now that I'm in my first grow, I'm catching on.
I have never smoked anything other than "brick-weed" until 2 yrs ago a friend turned me on to Hydro and then again a year ago before I moved to Mexico. I loved the stuff but could not afford it. I saved enough seeds (from the brick-weed) to fill one of those little plastic cans that 35mm film comes in and after losing 6 seedlings, I have 3 survivors.
Many of the growers here, live in states that allow it and are spending more on equipment and supplies than my budget allows. Another drawback I have is, where I live, I have to go 60 miles just to get Miracle Grow, potting soil, 5 gal buckets but no perlite, no pH meters or even litmus paper (I did find some litmus paper yesterday but at $35, I'll do without) and without a car, that gets expensive. So if you look up budget grower with little or no supplies/equipment and has to improvise everything... that's me.
A couple questions I have that has long been troubling me; When you harvest you crop, do you pull up/cut down your plants or do you just pick the buds? If you just pick the buds, how long before new buds are ready for harvest, again? How many crops can you get from one plant? AND (I know, I said a couple questions ; )) What is a good way to preserve what you have harvested to keep it from losing it's potency?
love the site, hope to learn much and contribute, too
Mr N

Hey Mr.N, you do need some help. Cannabis is an "annual", this means it has a one year life cycle. You grow for approx 4/6 months, then harvest the entire plant. I cut the bud bearing branches at the main stem, trim the leaves and hang them to dry in semi darkness, 75 degrees, 40/50% humidity, with low air circulation for a week to 10 days. Now the buds and stems will be dry enough to "jar", for "curing". This process takes a few weeks and the containers must be opened regularly, for "burping", to prevent possible molding. This is just a very brief over-view of the "harvesting-drying-curing" process. I would suggest you dig around in here, (RIU); there are many good tutorials, presented by growers more experienced than myself. Good luck & good grow.......BB

Thanks BB, you're right, I DO need help, sorry for such an elementary question but I have searched many a website for an answer and thanks to you, now I know.
However, attaining 75 degrees with 40-50% humidity is going to be a problem, as will waiting a few weeks before tasting. I don't know how it's done by the locals, they're kinda wary when it comes to talking to strangers, especially gringos, when it comes to that sort of thing.

Man this site is awesome. I've learned a bunch here already. Thanks for the site and to all the contributors, great info.

Hi all , new to site wanted to check out info and so far this has been the most helpful. Here is what i need some help with my plants are 54 days in flowering cycle under 1000w HPS, not sure on the strain was told ATF but not for sure. Are they ready for harvest? Also i've never seen this on any flowers before there are leaves like regrowing out of the flowers, did this go to long? Here are some pics to help visualize, 1st ones are with the light off,(Bottom pics) hope these are not too big of pics. 2nd pics same plants light off , but if you look at the 3rd pic top of the flower there are leaves growing out of it, can anyone explain? Also ive been watching trics and from what i can tell there between milky and few amber.

ill try n answer your question, gimme a minute im in the middle of something but here is a link to my Forum that can give you a giant list of info. Check it out.

Hmmm. Im not really sure that I see what you are talkin about (the problem i mean). Its for sure a Sativa strain and it looks super sticky n stinky! It would help if you knew what it was it would be very helpful. Do you have a magnifying glass with at least an 8x magnification? You will need one to know when the trichromes finish turning their orange or golden tan or whatever color they will change to. You will know that they are done when the trichromes turn from clear or white to a different darker color. Poll other people but i would say do a nute flush, dont water for about 7-10 days cut of those big leaves coming out of the top and hang dry the plant, or whatever you are going to do to dry them.
You may get a much better response if you go to the main page Rollitup.org, go to the forum tab, pick the category that best suits your situation and "post new thread".
