Anybody out there ever tried growing Niverna's Jock Horror? Thinking about ordering some seeds but wanted to hear some first hand reviews.

How often do you change bulbs? New bulbs for each new grow? I have read CFL's degrade over time.

Can stress in late flower cause plant to mature early, amber trichomes, before buds fill out completely?

I want to make tincture from harvest trim. Do I need to grind trim before I decarboxylate or just pop in oven, chill and add to everclear? Butter recipes call for product to be finely ground but I haven't seen that for tincture. I will need to dry trim before it can be ground.

When I harvested yesterday I noticed the stems were hollow, kind of like bamboo. Is that normal? Don't remember hollow stems the last time.

I have to use my grow box for drying but my temperature and humidity get to dangerous levels without heat from lights. last time I used one incandescent light bulb in the reflector and lowered it to the bottom of box. That keep everything in perfect range. I know light is bad during drying but...

Definitely got some amber trichomes showing up so I guess it is harvest time. This grow only took 7 weeks from light switch compared to last grow that took 12 weeks. Weird... I was able to use 42w CFL this flower compared to 23w last time but 5 weeks difference??? These buds aren't as fat as...

I'm starting to get foxtails on buds closest to lights. Although I don't really care I am curious what is causing them. I had the same thing happen last grow but buds grew into the lights. This grow, lights (4-42w CFL) are about 4 inches above top of buds and when I hold my hand under lights it...

I read/hear conflicting comments about harvesting too early because buds add weight and potency the last two weeks before harvest yet some like no amber trichomes while others prefer more couchlock. So do buds swell and get more THC just before harvest? I harvest by color of trichomes so my...

I have been surprised at the differences between my last two grows of same strain. It's almost like two different strains. I only grow one plant at a time so they get my full, undivided attention but is this common? Is this what is meant by phenotypes? Certainly not complaining, just trying to...

I saw a T5 high output light at Home Depot yesterday and after looking at it I had spots in front to of my eyes. Like looking at the sun! Have done some research and read T5's penetrate better, but I trust this site more. Do T5 lights penetrate better than CFL or is the difference minimal...

Anybody out there have any close up photos of swollen calyxes at harvest? my trichomes are turning cloudy early (?) and pistils are mostly brown and curly but buds haven't filled in as much as last grow when I waited for 20% amber. I did sample a popcorn bud from underneath and man oh man! Just...

Thinned and spread her out as much as possible. Now comes the waiting game. Trichomes are already turning cloudy, 6 weeks in but no amber. This grow is ahead of flower schedule to last grow of same strain. Nebula said, and she was right, that buds really fatten up the last two weeks of harvest...

Most everything I have read or heard discusses visible trichomes. It just seems reasonable that trichomes or THC would also be present inside buds too or we wouldn't all be striving for big fat buds. Makes sense?

Just gave her a much needed trim. Had to spread colas apart to get in the center and fingers got really sticky so I know existing trichomes were damaged. Can trichomes regenerate after week 5 of flower?

Trying to be proactive but about all I have read on bud rot is that it's bad. I have many colas in a small grow space (see photo). The photo is just one section but represents whole plant. I have used toothpicks to seperate some buds that are already touching but this is only week 4 of flower...

I have a small grow box (2X2X5), soil and a total of 288 watt CFL and learning to increase yeilds. Two questions. I only top once early, but have what I assume are secondary colas because they develope below the two colas where topped. These "secondary" colas go on to develope as well as the...

Thought this might be interesting or of some use. Weekly photos of first 12 weeks.

Into week 6 of light switch (4 or 5 week of flower). Should pistils be turning brown this soon? Mostly top of colas. I use CFL lights but still struggle keeping temps out of the upper 80's.

I'm in week 4 or 5 of flower (6 wks from light switch). Can I, should I, take more fan leaves on top this late? A lot of bud sites are heavily shaded. Can't even see all bud sites.
