Checked the trichomes? It looks pretty close. Swollen calyxes, pistils turning, and frosty. If you can look at them close and they are almost all milky with a few clear and a few amber then I'd say it's ready when you are. With autoiflowers you may just want to go by what the breeder says as a...

This cola here (the big branch) weighed 4oz on the dot wet so I'm hoping to get an O off of it alone. And yeah, gimme a month to dry and cure and we'll see what's up. :bigjoint: P.S. Here's a lighter pic for reference: And the frostiness, just a day later. Can't wait for it to cure!

Yeah, it was the most amazing torture ever. Just hate getting old. My thumb is swollen and numb, my arm is on fire and my shoulder won't move. Just before chop-chop. Plant is 3' tall (not counting bucket). And just after. Wound up with like 2 dozen branches each plant plus a ton of nugs below...

Well perhaps we should have played a different game. The one called 'takes 8 hours to trim 2 plants and you'll be up until 7am and then have to go work!' Harvest pics coming later today for anyone that wants to see!

The trichs are a little bit amber, mostly milky, and a few clear. They all have huge bulbous heads on the glands and I can practically see a swirling motion in the milky orbs lol. And yeah, even the lower buds that got very little direct light are super hard. They can't even be squeezed tighter...

No help from the awesome RIU community? Or is everyone too full and baked to get online today? :bigjoint:

Some more bud pr0n.. may help someone give me guidance if anyone is out there today! Happy Easter! These buds are larger than golfballs, and just as dense and hard as one. If you got an ice cream cone where the large scoop on top was golfball sized and turned it upside down, you'd have these...

Belated greetings RIU! After several setbacks due to life and circumstances I am finally ready for my first harvest, or so I think! These 2 girls were grown under a 400w electronic ballast (MH veg, HPS flower) in homemade 5gal DWC buckets using Lucas formula and RO water (and you can see the...

Yeah, I built 6 of them myself. No pvc. Just a bucket, a netpot, black airline and an air stone for each. I don't have a central res. Speaking of glue.. I think there were some stickers on the net pots... didn't even think about that. Would glue residue make white bubbles everywhere? It's in...

A couple of days.. one day with no plants, just solution and bubbles. No lights either. I then transplanted and 12 hours of light later I had the foam.

Nope, using GH nutes, designed for hydro. I wouldn't expect them to naturally make a biological frenzy.

So I finally got my 5 gal DWC buckets going and this morning I checked on them and they all had a layer of white foam on the surface. It's bright white, no brown or green. Rez temps got up to 75 at peak. Only thing in the water is GH Lucas Formula and my tapwater (yeah I know). It's fairly hard...

Well the good news is that pH is stable at 6.1. PPMs are all near starting level, 920-950 in each bucket. So it's not something that has bloomed and eaten all the nutes or anything. It's not throwing pH out of whack anymore. Lights have been out for over 6 hours though. I went ahead and added...

Ok that IS a huge disaster.. but mine has potential to be! I don't think 75 peak is too hot, and that's not going to happen a lot. It just got warm in the room last night (86) since someone turned the damn AC off the first night the shit was going! Ideally it will be closer to 70 most of the...

Yeah, I'm not super panicked yet as the roots are still healthy.. I just didn't have this problem when I ran the buckets without plants and then the first light cycle with them, boom! White foam. Kind of scary.

Doing a lot of googling seems to suggest this isn't an uncommon problem. Has anyone else faced white foam in a res early in a grow? Like the first day? I let the nutes run for a day with no plants in the dark and had no issues. My only thought is light getting in around the top of the hydroton...

I just checked the roots in the netpots and they are all clean and white at the bottom. None are in the water yet but some have grown 1/2" or so towards the water after just one night so it can't be root rot. It has to be an algae of some sort. I'm not seeing any slime either. just creamy white...

I'm debating it. I'm going to pick up some H2O2 this morning and add it in during the dark cycle today and fill up my net pots completely to eliminate any chance of light leaks. Think it would be safe to give it a day or two and see if the foam dies down? The water isn't too cloudy, but it's...

My buckets are the silver ones from lowes, completely light proof. Although the net pots do have those little slits and the hydroton may not be covering the top row of them well enough. Going to pick up some aquarium gravel to top off the pots and add some 3% H2O2 at 1 tsp. per gallon of...

So yesterday I transplanted into my 5 gallon DWC buckets. All individual buckets, no central res. I thought I would have temps under control, and after 10 hours of light (and somehow my grow room temps getting up to 85) the res peaked at about 75 degrees. With lights off it's under 70...
