    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    I don't know if I will bother with more pics of the colas, as they have now been drying for almost three days and don't look as fat and sexy as they did at harvest. I don't see much in the way of 'dried' bud porn, it's all the plump sticky buds... So, am I the only one who gets a little...

    4 the Newbies... Keep it simple

    'Just needed to fix all of the terrible, inaccurate, advice'... What exactly was so terrible and inaccurate, other than for the fact that the information Capt wrote pertained to soil, and you seem to think that coco is the only way to grow? You changed the medium from soil to coco, and...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Yes BKB, I did check them with a scope...and cut just the three main colas. They totaled 281 grams trimmed wet weight. I've kept the bottom half of both plants so that the other colas and smaller buds can have some more time to mature and fatten up. This morning, I found one 6inch cola was...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Baby Mystic is 5 weeks old today Chief! Think I'm gonna put her (?) into flower with the other two next week when they hit 6 weeks veg. I'm getting a bit anxious to find out if I have some girls this time around, as the first try were so many boys. I clipped the main colas on my AKs today at...

    Yeah, I vote for that too! Can't count how many times I've been called 'man' or 'bro'. LOL Even after I purposely started signing my posts 'Mandi' and changed my avatar to "Stoner Lisa". Good thread Capt. - seems like you've got it back again after the hijacking... Just couldn't take a (very...

    Newbie needs some help please

    Thanks Capt...figured the distilled was probably around 6ph, but have never checked it. I have a new refridgerator with a filtered water dispenser, so I was thinking of using that for my next grow and saving the $1 per gallon I've been spending on distilled. You think I should check ph anyway...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Wow...another month or two and that plant is going to be a monster. Can you handle something over 6 feet tall, as that is likely what it will reach in flower if you veg it for another month or more. When you flower it, you need it to have at least 12 hours of total darkness anyway, so the...

    First Time Grow Lots of Questions!

    I'm about to harvest my first grow - soil, 2 plants now 35 inches tall grown with 8CFLs and a trio of 23" T5 tubes for side fill. I used the T5s horizontally across the rim of the pots when the plants were small, so they would get light from both above and below. When they grew taller, I hung...

    Newbie needs some help please

    Depends upon your grow method... If you're in soil, like me, it may not be necessary. I use distilled water, so I know that should not be an issue for ph. I'm about to harvest my very first grow and my two girls are 35 inches tall and look to be holding about 2ozs each. I also have never...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    No worries...ask away! I vegged them for 8 weeks and they were around 19inches I think when I switched them over to 12/12. I had a small fan on them the last half of veg, but I don't know if that helped them get a thicker stem or just gave some good air circulation. I can't really recall for...

    Yeah Chief, I've been watching your Joni and friends too. She's bigger than mine right now, but the topping I did is growing back very nicely (all that growth you see is from just six days). The other two nursery mates are growing four colas as well...I hope they're all girls! -Mandi

    Thanks mmj...I got a scope today, so as soon as I can see straight again, I'll check out the girls to see what the trichs are looking like. -Mandi

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Have checked out the Ice Hash thread, and it sounds like something I want to try out. I've read some on the seed making - enough to get the girls knocked up on the three buds I pollinated, but since I've never grown, I don't know how to tell when they're mature. I think I will trim at first...

    can these girls recover?

    What size containers are those in? They kinda look like they're in a short bowl, and since they aren't totally full up with soil, the plants may be reaching the point where they need more room for their roots to spread out. If they are in shallow bowls, you should maybe think about replanting...

    New to site

    WELCOME from another noob! I'm within a week or two of harvest on my first grow (two AK48 girls under just CFLs). I'm told I could get as much as 2oz per plant, so I'm quite happy about my first attempt. If you spend some time reading, you'll learn tons of good info here...just beware that...

    Well I would be thrilled with 4ozs from my very first grow...and from just CFLs too! Have you ever made your own seeds Chief - do I wait for em to fall out of the seed pods to know they're ready? Do I freeze the trimmings before drying, or after? Will check out the 'ice hash' thread in a...
