Congratulations on your first grow! "What stage is this plant?" This plant is in the vegetative stage. It's difficult to know how old it is because growing conditions dictate how quickly they grow. That's kind of a strange question. Did you plant it? Have you read about and do you understand...

This is going to be Standard Operating Procedure for me from now on when I come home from stomping around in the underbrush.

Plants look healthy and still way too pistilate. You may be anxious to take them down but patience will be rewarded. I'm a relatively new grower. I have six jars of bud I harvested too early. It's good weed but my most recent harvest - for which I waited longer - is far superior. If you gotta...

My Old Man used to love, "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" - I grew up on, "A Taste of Honey". Another side of Herb Alpert.

@MtRainDog Sweet pic. What camera/scope/magnification are you using?

Not ready and welcome to RIU. Patience my friend. You're looking for pistils turning brown and curling in, buds starting to swell, lower leaves turning yellow and wilting - not brown and toasty. First grow? Congrats. next grow will be better.

Don't cut them yet. And don't judge by number of weeks. If you can nurse them back to health and keep them growing long enough, you will yield some marginally smokeable bud. After that, you can focus on next grow. Post new pics of the entire plant, closeups of the buds, and closeups of...

100% agree. overfeeding. nutrient burn. i was wondering about that when i saw the earlier pics with the ends of the leaves all but burnt off.

Kelloggs Patio Plus was problematic for me at first. They source their base "soil" locally. I normally consider locally sourced a good thing but there's evidence that the composition varies significantly by region. The stuff I got here in the Midwest looked like it came straight from the...

ADHD. It turns off the constant swirl of thoughts. I can pay attention and be "present". My family loves it.

It's likely any of the mixes above will work. Mine is below. A couple of notes: I probably won''t use Kellog's again. It has massive amounts of wood chips and sequesters nitrogen while the wood breaks down. After about 6 months, it composts down a little better. Next time I'll probably try...

I've ordered from MSNL and have had similar delays processing through Chicago. my experience with the company and their product has been good.

Just to be clear, I've been using 5 gal fabric pots. I don't know if 2.5 gal will be sufficient to take you to harvest, you'll have to try it and top dress at the end of the grow if the plants run through the initial charge of nutrients.

Is it worth it? I grow using a supersoil mix and i love it. First batch i made was 10 gallons. i had to buy a ton of stuff to make that first 10 gallons. so yeah, it's expensive to get up and running. maybe not worth it if you're talking about dollars and cents. I like the fact that i don't...

Yeah, that's Cook. I'm in one of the collar counties and i could just see the local cops drooling over a "drug bust". The headline: "Your neighbor is a pot farmer. Local man has high tech indoor grow operation."

Damn, you mean it's once again socially acceptable to drop acid? Yeah! Bring it on.

Yeah, I'm gonna grow some of them out just to what I've got. Haha. My experience with weed took about a 30 year gap. Someone with more recent experience than mine confirmed with words and smile that the haze was, "solid," even tho i think i harvested too early. it's creeper. about 20 minutes...

Yeah. my bad. i have enough in my soil mix that that's the only thing i've ever had to do other than water.

Spots look red under those lights. are the spots red or brown? Could be a calcium deficiency. what sources of calcium are in your soil? The easy fix is to hit it once with 600-800 ppm of epsom salt in water (or calmag) and see how they respond. depending on how sensitive your plants are to...

Thanks. It's an outdoor growing risk. Not going to stop me.
