When it's time to switch to the 2700k lights for flowering, you can get what they call a 'contractors pack' of a dozen CFLs for about $15 at Home Depot. I've only seen them in the 2700k color temp though, not in the 6500k daylight (vegging) type version. If you get "Y" splitters and sockets...

Is Sevin spray something that is effective for spider mites? I have a couple plants outside (first outdoor attempt) and was planning to spray to keep pests of any kind away...

Well, I don't know about all that...but I DO know it took much longer for my bud to dry the time I was lazy and let whole branches hang to dry without trimming everything down first. It seems the more plant material you have, the more moisture there is involved - and the more time it takes to...

Made an order with Sannies for some Herijuana seeds back on June 29th...and still have not gotten it here in the US. I've already emailed about it, and got a reply from Sannie on July 18th...'just wait a bit more because sometimes it takes longer', etc. So...now it has been another week, and...

If you're using the 2700k CFLs for flowering now, you can pick up a box of a dozen - called a 'contractors' package - for about $15 at Home Depot. I would guess that Lowes should carry a similar item as they usually have about the same things as Home Depot. Compare that to buying them by the...

Yeah...what Puffin said... Welcome to RIU zoombud! Read and read some more, and you will be growing and smoking your own in good time...

I'm also waiting on an order from Sannies...been since June 29th and still nothing, although it says 4-15 days to arrive. It was only a day or two before the site showed that they were shipped already, but since this is my first order with them, I don't know if it's time to worry about them...

So...it's been a while since I updated - if anyone is still checking for this thread, sorry for the long silence! My Blue Mystic is about 7 1/2 weeks into flower now. She has 4 colas, the tallest being 44inches, then two at around 38inches, and the runt at about only 28inches. She started out...

I've always just rooted the cuttings after topping, and grown another copy of the original plant - gives me a second harvest after another few weeks, and doubles my yield from just the one seed! Don't want to waste a cutting - especially if I know it's from a girl... I've been under the...

Any chance you may have dribbled some nute/water solution on them where they could have sustained a few tiny burns? I've heard that a bead of water can possibly magnify the light enough to cause a burn, but I'm not sure about that from experience. I always avoid leaving any water drops on the...

Read the last post on this page and you will get the idea on what I was talking about with the movable walls setup... https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get-166.html

Heres a link to Uncle Ben's topping thread...you should be able to learn all you need to get the job done by reading the first couple pages! https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html

They usually prefer the 6500K range for vegging and the 2700K for flower - but you can use the soft white (I think those are about 3000K) for budding too. Many growers use a mix of both color temps when they flower, and that is just fine if your plants are happy that way. It's the 12hours of...

Looking good! I totally understand your enthusiasm for growing...I think most of us felt the same way on our first grow. It's exciting to see them through the whole process - wait til you see the girls poke out their first hairs... They really do become like your babies that you want to whip...

Thanks Heavy! I'm actually kind of a newb myself, as I've been growing less than a year...but I have done A LOT of reading here on RIU and other sites, so I try to help out if I have a link or info that might help another grower along the way. Growing up as a kind of nerdy bookworm has...

You may be confusing the single 'hair' as a preflower when it is actually something called a stipule. Stipules are pointed hair-like spikes that come out at every node (there are usually a pair - one on either side of where every leaf stem attaches). They are on both male and female plants and...

I agree...top it and make a negative into a positive! It may, or may not, continue to grow normally for you as it is now - but if you top it, the results should make you happy. The current growth above the burned area may even be healthy enough to make into a clone after you top it. If the...

Hey Chief, sorry to hear you're out of the good stuff already. I've finally got my Blue Mystic girl (shes three weeks into flower) and have just done the ol' dab and tickle on her to make a few seeds for later. The Master Kush turned out to be a boy, but I'm gonna save him for pollen since I...

LOL-Forgot to mention...you can get white posterboard or silver mylar gift wrapping film from a dollar store to use as reflective wall covering. They also have a variety of plastic buckets, cans and pails that can work great for plants - just drill your drainage holes and you've got a really...

Oh, BTW...I've done all my grows in MG soil that feeds for 3-6 months. I add MG Perlite to their potting mix to help drainage. I've used a seed starter soil recently, but since it has no nutes in it, you need to repot once they get a few nodes and really start to grow. When they're ready to...
