    Low air circulation in closet worried about smell

    If your strain is not a really strong smelling one, you could try getting by with a quart jar of ONA GEL opened up inside the closet. If you have a skunky, stinky plant variety, then you're gonna need a carbon filter of some kind. There are threads here where you can learn how to make a...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    The shower would be a good idea for some, but my plants are 34inches tall now, and I don't want to risk damaging them by hauling them through the house to the bathroom. It would be awful to break a stem when they're just 2 or 3 weeks from harvest. Besides, the stealth kinda goes out the window...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Think I may be able to build some kind of raised platform with an open grid design, then slide the drain pan underneath... Got the idea looking at my dogs food bowl setup - he has one of those table things for big dogs to keep their dishes at a better eating level than the floor. Maybe he'd...

    no drainage ever ...not watering enough or is it clogged?

    I've got a 2.5 gallon pot with 34" tall plant in flower 4 1/2 weeks. She sucks up a half gallon, dries two days, and then is ready for another half gallon. It depends on how fast I pour it in whether it drains out any. If it does, it will draw it back up within a half hour, so I leave it be...

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

    Yeah, I'm crossing my fingers hard that I get girls too! I figure that my odds of finding a girl seed are maybe better now that I've already found 2 boys from the 10pk - if they have at least half girls in there, then that means 5 of the 8 left were ladies. Of course, I could be one of the...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Thanks SinSimian - Not too bad for my first try...and with only CFLs, I'll count any harvest as a victory! Thanks for the tip, us girls need to help each other out! Glad to learn from your experience. I've made enough mistakes already in my first grow, so I'll take all the tips I can to get...

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

    Didn't try my own cross breeding yet Chief...there was one boy from each of my 3 strains in the "boys room", so I used the AK48 pollen on my AK girls. But if you think it will be a good cross, maybe I will try it later on my next chance. I've got pollen from my AK48, Blue Mystic and Short...

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

    The party cup plant is my Christmas Blue Mystic baby, the other was a BM beauty that ended up male (in a 1 gal pot). I grew him out enough for pollen collection so if this new baby is a girl, I'll be set with the goods to make a few seeds on her lower buds for later.

    This is my Blue Mystic baby...maybe not quite as big as yours is Chief. The pretty boy is my first BM topped for 4 colas - it would have been such a gorgeous girl!

    Tin Foil as a Mylar replacement?

    Yeah, it appears to be thin mylar. You can see thru a single sheet from up close, but with the cardboard backing it works as a fine "wall". I have a closet grow that has two white walls but I needed to have a movable piece for the other two walls to be able to adjust size for the growing...

    Tin Foil as a Mylar replacement?

    Couldn't find emergency blankets for some reason, so I got a few packs of silver (mylar like) gift wrapping film from a dollar store. There were three or four sheets in a package, and I just papered my walls with it using double stick tape. It seems to be working fine, and you can't get much...

    BUMP is just a bogus post to 'bump' you back to the top of the list. Many will not read a few pages into the listings, so if your thread drops back a page or two, it kind of gets lost and won't get many looks or replies. The bump gives you new life until newer threads move you down to the...

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

    Hey Chief...I don't know if they would be autos, but I don't know why you couldn't get some seeds from your BMs in the usual way. I'm a total newb, but I read up a little on the pollen collecting thing and gave it a try. I made a "boys room" from a cardboard box and a pair of CFLs - put them...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    Thanks for the reply Chief! So...since they're in a 2.5gal pot, I need to water with 5 GALLONS? That sounds like an awful lot...I'm only giving about a half gallon twice a week (water with Big Bloom, skip two days, water again with Schultz nutes). Should I be using FF Big Bloom and the...

    Christmas must be the day for new baby Blue Mystics! I have one born then too...along with a Short Rider and an AK48. It's my second try for the Blue Mystic - my first two seeds ended up being males (but they were real pretty boys!). I grew them out long enough to grab some pollen from them...

    So many males!!! Fawk! What to do?

    I feel your pain...had planted 6 seeds, cloned two of them from their topped cuttings and ended up with 8 plants. Out of the original 6 seeds, there was just ONE girl - luckily, she was one that I had cloned her top, so I ended up with 2 girls from 8 plants. They are now starting the 6th week...

    Do I need to flush before harvest if I've been using organics (Fox Farm Big Bloom)?
