    When to harvest trichome question.

    I figured I would show a few pictures to make sense of things. I broke this by accident a week and a half ago so it is not as mature as the photo of my grow room taken tonight. I am just using it for my explanation. The top inch is 30-50% amber. 1" below that is maybe 10%. Rest mostly...

    When to harvest trichome question.

    Sounds good. When you say 3-5% I am guessing that is near the top. If this is the case I will flush a few days and chop.

    When to harvest trichome question.

    This is what I was thinking too. I'm almost sure it's not too early but I am trying to go textbook for the first one. I have about 70 colas from training and I harvested one last week drying it for a few days before testing it. Honestly it was the best high I ever had probably because it was...

    When to harvest trichome question.

    I am on week 8.5 of flower for a 7-8 week strain. At the very top of the colas about 30-50% of the trichomes are amber but I was told to check halfway down the cola which seems to haven't started changing at this point. I am not taking my readings from the sugar leaf tips showing through but...

    When to harvest? Top of cola looks 75 % orange hairs middle to bottom maybe 10%

    I am having the hardest time determining when the most optimal time to harvest is. I am growing Royal Queen Northern Light. It is a 7-8 week flowering strain and I am a day from the 7th week. I figure I have a week to go. I bought a USB microscope but it is almost impossible to use without...

    Ebb and Flow buckets system reservoir question (light, air, & algae).

    I just changed from using individual buckets to an an Ebb and Flow Bucket system. I filled it filled up tonight and like the design so far. The question I have is in regards to my 55 gallon reservoir. Do I need to make it light proof and airtight? Where the hoses go through the plug hole at...

    2 Gallon EBb & Flow Multi Flow Buckets Too Small?

    I think I just messed up buying 2 Gallon EBB & Flow Multi Flow Buckets. I thought they were bigger. Are these too small because I can swap the buckets out for something bigger. I am looking for 6 to 9 pots in a 5x5 tent. Will these buckets be too small for growing out that many plants under...

    RO Filter on a septic system

    I don't think the filter would do it depending on your water composition. Their are other things in the water that can cause you problems.too. What is the ppm reading of your water out of the tap? Mine is around 150 and 15 after going through my 1 to 1 RO filter. I don't know if this is true...

    RO Filter on a septic system

    This is true. Only reason i didn't recommend it is being winter and here in Mass I was getting 15 inches of snow at the time. That would be a split rain barrel from the cold. I was just thinking if it was warm you would run it out the basement with a long hose instead instead of under the...

    RO Filter on a septic system

    See my above question but I want to give some advice I was thinking about. This may be a good thing to do anyway if you have a failing system or new system.. If you haven't already replace your toilets with a dual flush low gallons per flush. Toilets are extremely cheap and around $100 to...

    RO Filter on a septic system

    It's funny I have the same size system and 30 years old but for just myself. I have been concerned about the same thing. How many gallons of water does each of your systems use and how often do you need to fill them?

    Net pot question on transfering net pots between veg and flower tent in dwc.

    I want to be able to move plants that will be vegging for 6 weeks from a veg tent to a flower tent. 5" net pots should work for all stages of growth from what I read however my concern is moving the net pot. If I use 5" net pots will I be able to get the root balls through the 5" holes in the...

    Please help picture of a few leaves

    If my RDWC fails since I already bought the parts I may go to Rubbermaid tubs or try EBB and flow buckets which I understand may slow my growing some. To me it seems like EBB and flow fills and drains right after but what if it was rigged to fill and stay filled with an air stone in each...

    Please help picture of a few leaves

    So not Mosaic virus is good to hear. I guess just another plant that won't become a mother plant :). It's been 13 days since I flipped to 12/12. Today was the first time I noticed obvious yellow buds forming on the tops of the strongest plants. In the photo you can see it forming on the...

    Please help picture of a few leaves

    The back center one is the one with the leaf spots. The front center one is the one that looks like Mosaic Virus. As you can see growth is good and consistant with all 6 . I mix my nutes up in the same tub so this makes no sense. Thats why I am starting to lean twords genetics. I'm going to...

    Please help picture of a few leaves

    Yeah. I'll take more pictures. The newest growth looks fine but its spreading to rest of plant. All 6 plants are from seed. One looks like mosaic virus but is growing fine. I'm debating on flushing the plant for 24 hours in tap water.. Then I will mix up a batch just for this plant with ro...

    When to flip 12/12 with picture first grow.

    I used a Vipraspectra 1200watt dimmable for the first 2 weeks of veg. In all honestly it was a well built light for the price tag when compared to others but no way in hell it was going to cover a 5x5 or even the 4x4 they said it will do. Realizing my noob error i returned it to Amazon and...

    I discovered bugs!!! :(

    Would ozone kill Tobacco Mosaic Virus or any Mosaic Virus? I got some form of Mosaic Virus in my vegetable garden over the summer and now one of my plants is showing possible symptoms. Unfortunately no way to really confirm but 5 of my 6 plants are fine. I have used the same sheers on all of...

    2 Bags seeds, First Grow.

    By now you are probably past the seedling stage but for anybody else reading I would dim instead of raise unless you need the light spread with the cobs. Save on the electric bill and reduce wear on the cobs. If you are using the same cob setup for veg and flower the light spread shouldn't be...
