    Switching autos from a 20/4 cycle to an 18/6 in final stages of flower?

    A friend told me that if you have stubborn autos that are taking forever to ripen, try changing their light cycle He said switching from the 20/4 cycle to an 18/6 cycle will often jump start the trichomes and force them into ripening. But only for the last couple weeks. Anyone?

    Day 42 flower, auto Blue Dream

    What Ive been doing is, I place the tiny snip of bud on a flat surface and place the lens on the same surface, directly over it. The I work power adjustment knob to bring in focus. By placing it on the flat surface, it minimizes the camera shake. Then I try and efut my photos using the...

    Harvest is close, watching trichromes, advice

    Last summer we had a tough season for outdoor gardening. I grow a lot of heirloom tomatoes and we had some horrible periods of soaking rain. Anyway, my new next door neighbor grew three cannabis plants that were each 7' tall! He claims he never grew before. I'll bet he got 2lbs of bud. Funny...

    Harvest is close, watching trichromes, advice

    Thank you. I've been growing photos for years, inside and out. However I prefer inside because of the short growing season here in the NE. I'm experimenting with a new HID lighting arrangement, and it seems to be doing well. I just don't want to lose the race in the home stretch lol

    Harvest is close, watching trichromes, advice

    You see the reason I'm so concerned is 420 Fastbuds goes out of their way to promote Wedding Cheesecake is seed to harvest in 63 days. They say it over and over in all their videos. I don't want this plant to over ripen and the potency degrade.

    Harvest is close, watching trichromes, advice

    Im growing 4 autos, One of which is a Fastbuds Wedding Cheesecake. Billed as seed to harvest in 63 days. IMO a bit ambitious, but that's marketing. Ok, I'm in day 77. Beautiful frosty plant, but the only place I see amber trichomes is on the sugar leaves, and very little on the buds. I've...

    Massive hard buds, yellow leaves?

    I'm presently growing 4 autos, Blue Dream, Wedding Cheesecake and Gorilla Cookie. The buds are as big, or bigger than any weed I've ever grown. All are tight and firm, but the Blue Dream are rock hard. Intense nose. But what concerns me is the leaves. They're all turning yellow? I've posted...

    Tested my new handheld digital USB microscope

    Just got it, and tested it out. Trimmed a couple sugar leaf tips. I'm concerned about the photo, not so much the trichromes. Can I do better with this unit, or as this as far as it'll go? BTW the plant is an auto Gorilla Cookies.

    Gorilla Cookie day 66

    She's skunky as all hell. My wife got loopy just handling it. My gut says another week. But she's not sticky? That concerns me. Thoughts

    Your local hydroponics store or do you buy it online?

    There was a great hydroponics store a mile from me, they carried full lines of everything. Then one day, they closed. I'm noticing local box and hardware store franchises are beginning to carry soil and nutes. At better prices than my local hydro store.

    Your local hydroponics store or do you buy it online?

    When I first began growing I did all my shopping at my local hydroponics store. Always felt I was paying through the nose, but I enjoyed going there. Plus, they could give advice. But as you gain experience, the advice becomes less important and it's more about price, variety and savings $$$...
