The long white things you are looking at are called stigma or more colloquially, "hairs". When they all (or the vast majority) turn orange/brown and recede and the calyxes swell, you are getting close. You might be confusing trichomes with stigma. The trichomes are the "crystals" (hate that...

What you felt wasn't density, it was mass. The majority of what makes up the mass of living tissue is water. Density is mass/volume. Both decrease in drying but mass does so at a greater rate. The good news is that you didn't really ruin your tight, dense buds. The bad news is that they...

Hmmm. After reviewing your case, I would say your plants are are showing inter-veinal chlorosis along the margins and acute necrosis of the tips. Hope that helps.

Isnt Gravity no suitable for non-ornamental crops? I thought they stopped selling it. Anyway, the most common and probable cause is lack of light. 1000w should cover up to a 5'x5' area. The light should be at a distance that covers that area. Too close and you lose on the perimeter as well as...

You're not going to pull off a scrog with that many plants. You would be overgrown early and negate the benefits of a scrog. A single plant would be a better option... IMO. I use the same area and wattage. I can't put more than 6 in flower at a time. 4 is best when heat and humidity are an...

Do others C99's have strong aroma when flowering or when dried/cured? Mine do have a fruity smell to them but it is faint and dissipates quickly if not kept in sealed jars. It doesnt matter as much to me but it might be a tough sell to people who judge on how strong an aroma a particular strain...

Every flower cycle? Can I have your "old" ones? ; )

You could dig a hole under the shed and cool it geothermally.

Buy the best you can afford. The Quantum "Badboy" series gets good reviews.

If your after yield, get an HPS. A 600w would cover a 3x3 area. If you wont get an HPS, I would grow one plant SCROG and keep the canopy even. Remove lower growth (under the screen) and get the bulbs close to the tops (a couple inches). Mount the CFLs horizontally to maximize light...

Why are you watering heavily? I would go light on the water and not leave a saturated pot in the dark this late in flowering. Good recipe for mold. As for the flowering time, 10 weeks isnt that long. It is probably closer to optimal than harvesting at 8 weeks. I have never seen an overdone plant.

If a female plant produces "naners" or single male pollen sacs within her flower clusters late in flowering and pollinates herself, those seeds will in fact, be female. This is common and a natural survival mechanism and not a true hermaphrodite. It is also what most people are talking about...

Youre not really "breeding" by pollinating one strain with another one time. It takes several generations and a larger sample size. At least in my limited understanding. If you just want to get more auto flowers, just buy them. If you want to become a breeder you should learn about breeding...

you cant possibly expect a decent answer when you provide almost zero information on the plant and its environment. Are you feeding it? A good potting soil is fine. Doesnt have to be an expensive brand marketed to cannabis growers. I have seen perfectly healthy plants grown start to finish in...

I dont think its an N toxicity especially using that little of a relatively low N bloom fert. Leaves will droop when overwatered or subject to low light conditions. Hard to say for sure but I would think it is more related to lockout or an inability for the plants to properly uptake...

looks like over fertilization/lockout/toxic buildup.

and epsom salts are used to treat mag deficiency. Did you have a mag deficiency? Adding things unnecessarily, especially salts, can lead to compounding problems. I can tell you that it is probably not zinc. What is your environment like? Temps/humidity, pH levels of nutrient solution...

Misdiagnoses are just rampant on the internet. Chlorosis may be symptom of a few deficiencies but you can rule out some by noting where on the plant the symptoms show first. A yellow leaf can mean a lot of things but a yellow older fan leaf appearing when a grower switches to "bloom"...

That looks like over fertilization to me. Seedlings can only uptake what they need. If you only have a few leaves and a small root mass, the plant doesnt require high levels of nutrients. It cant use them. They end up staying in the medium and causing toxic buildups and lockout. Feed them...

Oh, but he sees amber trichomes, they MUST be ready!!! This is why looking at trichomes is pointless unless you can recognize a mature, ripe plant by looking at it. And if you can recognize the obvious signs, then the microscope becomes a secondary tool.
