    rolling leaves

    SayWord, raise your lights! Personally, I think thats heat stress. Mine do that as they grow and get closer to the lights. I raise the lights, they flatten back out. Jrod, as for our leaves turning/curling under, who knows? I doubt that it's heat, seeing as it is only affecting my lower...

    400Watt HPS..1st attemp..unknown/known seeds

    Yeah, I thought that they should be a bit bigger too, which is why I asked about the temps. They're between 75 - 80, you cant argue with that. Dude, for the veg phase, you want a higher N, and for the flowering phase you want a higher P. (N-P-K) While I'm sure that those "Hydro-Shop" pre...

    Do I need to paint white 10gal. buckets for soil

    Oh I KNOW the theory behind it, thats what made me question it at the end of my first grow. Like I said, I MEANT to paint them this grow, but that kinda fell thru the cracks. I got no moldy smell, and the plants SEEM healthy enough, but I know that light does adversely affect roots, so better...

    Removed a lot of "leafage"

    Live and learn. I'd be really interested in what grows back. Will it come back with a vengeance, and be thicker and bushier? There have been several posts about doing the same thing here lately. I guess the abuse was more than they could bear, and they went away. Nobody (to my knowledge) has...

    Do I need to paint white 10gal. buckets for soil

    I meant to do just that with mine this grow, but somehow it got overlooked. It doesn't SEEM to be making a dif, but then, how would I know? I WILL paint the outsides black after this grow for sure. It might not make a dif, but it sure can't hurt. MY concern with those pots you have is the Height...

    Limp Tops

    I have been thinking that I needed to up the Potassium, since there hasn't been as much as I think there should be. (Don't ask WHY I thought that) And my thinking was confirmed when I PMed one of the gurus here. SO. I went looking up potassium deficiency, and exactly what potassium does for the...

    rolling leaves

    Same thing here. I don't know that I'd call it a problem or not, but I'll keep an eye on it. I have been watering about every 4 or 5 days (Erring on the side of caution). Today they were curling under, and I watered them today. I'll know tomorrow if it was 'cuz they were thirsty. If it was heat...

    400Watt HPS..1st attemp..unknown/known seeds

    Lookin' good!!! How's your temp in that tent? High temps retard growth, among other nasty things like burn. You gotta keep it between 75 and 80 optimally. 2 things. Watch your watering. They now do not need to be watered that much. I water mine every 3 or 4 days. Let the pot get dry before you...

    how uniform are the trich colors?

    True Dat! It MIGHT (and probably will) vary from plant to plant (different phenos), but I doubt it's enough to matter. Take a piece of leaf off a bud at both top and bottom, and split the difference.

    simple question simple answers

    Kinda off topic. But it being your first, i thought I'd impart a bit of advise. Remember, these plants got along just fine without our help. And as long as you start with decent soil, and don't over fertilize or water, tour plants will do just fine on their own. You will read about the...

    Odor question

    Which in some cases is OK because the house has a general aroma of pot smoke. (Case in point, My house. We smoke and do nothing to mask it) As long as it doesn't scream "Grow Op" it's all good.

    Help think im killing my flowering girl

    In dope growing, a "Hermie" is an hermaphrodite plant having both male and female reproductive capabilities. A plant that can fertilize itself and others. Not good for a pot garden trying to grow sinsemilla. The last thing you want in your garden is a viable male, unless you are trying to make...

    Odor question

    The Damp Rid works OK to "mask" odors. But I read in another thread (a different forum maybe) about a dude who made a fairly concentrated (25%) mix of Pine Sol and water. He filled a 5 gal bucket about 3/4 full, and dropped an air stone in it. Pine Sol comes in different fragrances, Orange...

    Odor question

    Glad I could help, but be aware that the info was concerning the 2 grows I have under my belt, and the same strain. I hear alot about others having real odor problems. Mine didn't reek. With the growroom door open, you could smell that "earthy" smell in the rest of the house. Close the door, and...

    Help think im killing my flowering girl

    What COULD happen is that you'll stress the plant, and end up with a hermie, or so I am told.
