Finally got the Skybasic 50x to 1000x digital microscope so I can view trichomes. I felt sure harvest was close but needed a better view to be sure. 50 to 1000 is BS but it's not bad to do a count. This is same as @MagicMike but a diff label as much china crap does. I'm thinking with approx...

Some times us 'Old Farts' can be a little slow on the uptake. I just discovered the dry vape pens now available. I am not a fan of oil based vape devices. Another chemical to ingest it seems to me. As a 54 year cigarette smoker I had a wake up call last year by needing a 4 way bypass surgery...

Aarrrgh! Yesterday as I was writing a reply my touch pad on my Toshiba quit working. Can't move my cursor. I have tried all the suggested fixes online to no avail. At least I have my phone or I'd be SOL for internet. Hard to find a trusted shop out here in the wilds beyond Prescott so I have...

I'm a bit freaked because my 8 week in colas are fattening slowly but the last 3 days the sugar leaves have cocooned down at a 45 degree angle. Is this part of the natural process or maybe strain related? It seems like maybe they are protecting the cola or unhappy about something I have missed...

UPDATE: 6 days since I hog tied them again and the even canopy with, close as I dare, even PAR 300w total actual at 11" is showing positive results. The mid cola buds and the bottom buds are all responding to the intense light with enthusiasm. Many here have said that the low buds should be...

Today is end of week 5 flower. In an attempt to get even more light to the sides of my colas and my lower buds closer, I decided to try some more LST on my colas. What do you think? Was this a mistake at this point in flower? Do you think they will turn back up? My 3 100 watts actual, 300w...

Looks very good to me jeff1961 , close to my timeline, I had to defol just before switch and again at 2 and four weeks because you will be surprised how quickly it will fill in again. I kept my lower bud sites as open as possible all the way through and the lowers are able to fatten too. Your...

It has occurred to me that a lot of Forum members and Guests seem to be of the "Boomer" generation both here in the US and internationally. I thought it might be interesting to find out what the average age is of folks who grow and use our favorite medicine, come here for information or just to...

I know several of us who may be......Ain't it great!

Today is the end of week four of flower. Yesterday as I was working with the ladies, I managed to focus my old eyes very closely on one bud and was pleased to see a few very tiny bright specks that I was sure were trichomes. I felt as though I had achieved a real milestone in my first grow...

So in Nebula's tutorials and elsewhere we are cautioned about allowing absolutely no light for our plants during the 12 hour dark period. Not even so much as the small indicator light on power strips or devices. Does this apply only to indoor plants or to outdoor as well? What about moonlight...

As I did the switch to 12/12 5 days ago, I consider my once girls to be ladies now as they begin their stretch to flowering. Luckily there are no men around, lol! They're from feminised seed; Critical Mass from ILGM in Amsterdam. Still as with my daughter when she became a woman, I felt a...

Bloomspect SS1000 X 3, 100w each draw, 300 w total Cover 2.5' x 4' very well. $90 each . Just before watering day so they're a little droopy.

You're coming along nicely, the hardest part is to relax and be patient I think. You are a bit tied up with twisty wire I see. I had a few ft of 14ga electric wire left over from a project so I bent a small hook on one end and just pushed them into the coco where I wanted them to go. Worked...

Trying to decide if I should remove these lower bud sites to encourage more growth in the 12 original cola tops established by my manifold. Which would give the most yield? 12 colas alone or with many smaller ones? Not like it's a SOG cuz there's only one root ball, right? Thanks for you best...

Hey again dphipps1020 , Don't know why my pic did not show? I'll try again. I'm in a small rural community half way between Mayer and Cordes Lakes. In the clone I had to use regular MG to finish filling the pot as I had nothing else on hand at the time. The price of Mother Earth coco plus...

I'm at week nine on my first grow and have been a member here for about a month so I don't claim to be an expert but I read here a lot and have noticed that many are having issue with low humidity which is common most everywhere in the winter. Nebula addresses this in her tutorial section but...

I noticed this morning the first signs of WPM on 2 of my plants. This surprises me as I have been keeping My RH constant at 50% + - 3% and temp at constant at 72. Outside my cabinet the AZ climate is running at 28 to 55 degrees and RH in the 40 to 50 range. The cabinet is located on my enclosed...

Just did some very selective defol on one of three to open up some bud sites that were in shadow. I do this often as part of my program of manifolding to get as many bud sites exposed to light as possible. I take a few here and there as needed on all three. In doing so I noted some sap oozing...

OK, got my lighting dialed with 300 watts + - 3%. My manifold training is now complete and my LST 95% to allow the side branches to grow to the edge of the pot for top separation. They will now be allowed to grow upward another 8" before the switch to flower in about 10 more days. They will be...
