    4 the Newbies... Keep it simple

    So...if you clone a plant from the cutting when its been topped, once it roots and starts regrowth, do you consider (and give nutes) as if it were the age of the original plant - or treat it as a young seedling? Does this make sense...LOL

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Here is a look at my three babies born on Christmas. I plan to veg them for another week and a half, until they reach 8 weeks. I figure I may as well get them as big as I can before switching them to flower, since I have a good sized closet for them to spread out. Bigger = more bud! This...

    Did you use that 'ice hash' recipe Chief, or is there another easy way to make it?

    Here is a link to a very informative thread about topping. Uncle Ben really knows his stuff - read the first page and you'll learn exactly what to do to get a beautiful 4 cola plant that will make the best use of your grow space. Looks like you're well prepared for your seeds when they...

    Huh? I think you got the wrong thread daweed... Or you're confused and didn't read the whole thread. Any recent mention of my 'babies' going to veg until 7 or 8 weeks old pertains to my 'babies' that were born on Christmas and not the mature AK48s that you can see flowering heartily at the...

    Yeah Chief, I plan to hold off until I can get the trimmings from the last of the popcorn buds, then put it all together for a batch of ice hash. I'm going to chop the stems from the main colas into short pieces and add those in too (they felt sticky, so I think it will be worthwhile). It...

    Does this mean it's a female (pics)?

    Those 'spikes' are called stipules - and they are on both males and females...not to be confused with preflowers, which will tell you gender.

    I've got the trim drying and I'm going to give that 'ice hash' recipe a try once its all dry. I still have the bud from the main colas curing in a big mason jar. I took one small bud back at 7 weeks flower, and thats what I've been rationing out to smoke. It seemed pretty good to me, but I'm...

    Are reflectors for lights a need?

    If you mean that you have the clip lights with the metal shade type reflector, the smaller sizes will not fit a "Y" splitter UNLESS you were to add an extender to the socket. You can get one at Home Depot for about $2.50 - probably within inches of where they display the "Y" splitters. It will...

    Chopped the other colas and largest buds this morning. I got 226g trimmed, and they're hanging up now to dry. I left the plants with their popcorn buds so they can have a few more days to see if they'll bulk up at all. If they don't seem to make much progress by next week, I'll just chop the...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Thanks Chief - I'm planning on chopping the rest of the colas Thursday morning, and maybe leaving a few of the smallest buds for another few days. I'm afraid to cut the buds that I've pollinated as they're on the very bottom branches. I don't want to take them before they're mature. I've had...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    I've saved my AK48 trimmings to try the 'ice hash' recipe later. The stems left over from the main colas seemed a tad sticky in places...should I save them for the hash? Is it likely they've got enough on them to bother with? Only the smallest leaves with obvious resin are worth saving...

    Chief Puff Puff's Tent Grow---Auto Blue Mystics

    Joni's looking great Chief! Looks like she is going to have a whole bunch of tops for you...maybe I need to give lst a try next time around. I've been using Uncle Bens topping method for 4 colas, and it seems to work well for me, but maybe I'll try your tricks on the clones I made with the tops...

    Nice to see I'm not the only one who can't roll for shit...LOL! I bought a nice little blown glass pipe to save me the trouble. Maybe I need to check out that rolling thread you made for those of us riding the 'short bus'. -Mandi

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Yes Chief, I already cut them from the stem and put them in a 2qt. mason jar. After trimming, they were exactly 2ozs. I'm definitely going to chop the rest of those smaller colas tomorrow - should I do the popcorn buds on the very bottom, or do you think it would be worthwhile to give them...

    First time grow, need some help.

    Not a lot of experience yet, but I've seen way too many boys from my first grow(5 out of 6)...and I'm sorry to say, those are balls my friend.

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    They're down to 2.6ozs already, but I hope they're almost done shrinking because they seem fairly dry now. I put them in a paper bag to see if there is still moisture to draw out from the inisde. I'm hoping the rest of the plants will end up giving at least another 2ozs dried. There are still...

    First time grow, 1rst day in flowering, male or female? Pictures...

    I also have that same fixture...it came from Home Depot. They make them in sizes from 3-6 light strips, with several choices of finish.

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Wow are they giving off some serious stink while drying! They didn't smell this much even near the end of flowering. They've been hanging for almost four days now, and they're looking a lot smaller and drier. Should I put them in a paper bag yet, or wait until they hang a little longer? I...

    Can u flower from the beginning?

    You probably could do it...but it seems like it would be a waste of a seed, since you wouldn't yield much from it, due to the small size. Try it and let us know...
