    Flowering

    Think of fan leaves as solar panels...they collect light to power the plants growth. It's best to avoid cutting fans - just tuck them in if you feel the need to uncover areas that seem to be shaded. When your girl is done with a fan leaf, it will fade and begin to die, then it can be easily...

    How cold can my outside girls get without dying?

    Wow, they can take it that cold? If I put a couple big lawn and leaf bags over them, will that be enough when there is a frost advisory as it gets closer to October? Do I cover only the greenery, or do I need to wrap the pot they're in too? The Northern Lights is in a 7gal rubber like tub...

    How cold can my outside girls get without dying?

    So overnight low temps are dropping into the high 40s later this week, with daily highs anywhere from mid 60s to nearly 80. I have a nice Blue Mystic around 3ft tall, and a beautiful Northern Lights over 5 feet. Both are flowering pretty good now, and I hope they will have time to finish. I'm...

    how long will weed stay good

    I'm pretty sure he means 4/20...as in April 20th of next year. Must be having to hold off smoking due to drug testing at work, and when he retires, he's gonna start burning thru that pound he has saved up!

    Brownie Time mmmmm !

    You know, I think there may be some people that can't digest it right or something...at the moment, I'm pretty chemically inconvenienced from just 1 double chocolate cookie that tasted great! I've found that the pouch of Betty Crocker double chocolate chunk cookie mix makes a tasty treat. Just 1...

    Can anybody tell the sex from these pics?

    Yeah, I don't know if you'd have trouble rooting a top if it's more than a week or so into flowering...guess I wasn't totally clear headed when I read your thread earlier. LOL I've gotten into the practice of topping damn near everything in veg once it hits 4-5 nodes. It gives me a second...

    Can anybody tell the sex from these pics?

    Sure thing... The single female I had from that first grow happened to be one that I had chosen to top. I rooted the top cutting and ended up with a 2nd girl after all. Once you find a female, I'd suggest you try the same thing to double your girl count. Here is a great topping thread from a...

    Can anybody tell the sex from these pics?

    Males are almost always first to show sex, so if the others aren't yet, you may have girls left. As for time before pollen release...you've got more than you think. Unless your plants are growing by bionic proportions, it will take a couple weeks before the pollen sacs mature enough to release...

    seeds question

    As long as you can keep a close enough watch on it so that the paper towel isn't left to dry out, a gentle heat source will definitely speed things up for you. If you have access to the hot water heater or cover of your boiler/heat system, its a good place to use. Put them on a glass or china...

    noob outdoor how am i doing?

    Everything is looking great! You must have the touch...and good weather. I've got two going outside now (my first outdoors) and hope they will have time to finish before the weather turns. Would love to be able to grow outdoors all year - the sun kicks ass compared to my indoor stealth grow...

    Shorter Plants?..

    I grow with CFLs indoors only so I have some experience with them. You can get them to within two inches of that plant without problems. A rare strain may object to it, but most will be happy to have the light nice and close like that so they can make better use of it. I have new sprouts that...

    Shorter Plants?..

    Looks like you might be working on starting the third node. The smooth seed leaves don't count, so the first node is the pair of serrated leaves lowest on the stem. Each pair of leaves that grow from the top will count as a new node, so it appears from your pics that you have a third set...

    Shorter Plants?..

    Read a bit of this thread on topping...Uncle Ben really knows his shit! Follow his advice and you will get multiple colas and a shorter plant, while not hurting your yield. Topping can also leave you with a nice clone of your girl, if you root the part you cut off. I've rooted and grown out...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    So...the Northern Lights gave a yield of just over 2ozs from my CFL closet grow. The Blue Mystic was just shy of 2ozs, but the fat cola I lost to mold would have certainly put her over two and a half. As for the 'wild girls' I have going outside...they are doing great! The plan was to let...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Here are the outside girls...growing nicely and about to be relocated to a spot with better camoflage. They're almost as tall as the surrounding weed cover that is supposed to be helping them blend in, so if they get much taller in the stretch, it could become an issue. I still can't see any...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Put a Blue Mystic clone outside the first week of July...that is her in the orange bucket, just a week and a half later. She was adding about an inch a day! The girl next to her is the cloned top of my Northern Lights that is currently finishing up in my grow closet. I thought it wise to...

    1st Crop - CFLS - GIRLS WERE HARVESTED TONIGHT!!

    I agree that it may have been a tad early on the harvest, but you will figure it out for yourself with future harvests. As a newb, it is very hard to resist when you see them getting frosty...you just want to cut them and get to smoking your homegrown bud! If you're choosing your harvest time...

    Anyone have problem getting orders from SANNIES?

    Thanks for the input guys! I've sent Sannie another email to let him know the seeds still have not arrived, so I'm hoping to get a response that he's reshipping my order soon...
