Was examining my plants today and among whitefly and spidermites I found this thing, I thought aphid but I couldn't see any legs. Can anyone identify this little prick so I can figure out how to combat it? Thanks in advance. (Neem'ing tomorrow morning before lights out, sucks because I'm in...

Dang dude, that sounds like terrible luck. Normally if mine fail they fail at the initial germination or hermi halfway through the grow (instability I assume). You need to make sure the seeds are stored out of sunlight and in dry conditions. If it's too humid where they're stored the moisture...

I normally like to find a nice strain and a strong vigorous parent, I then normally clone it reasonably early and then begin turnin 'er into a hermi. My preferred method here is colodial silver but im sure there are better methods. Normally if a female plant hermies and pollinates itself or...

It looks good, one-two weeks until chop imo but the only true way to know when it's ready is a microscope pen, usb microscope or a loupe. I personally like the 100x pen microscopes with led, I got mine for $15 off ebay and works a treat. Less amber trichs more milky/clear trichs will get you...

Little bit :P, I don't doubt their ability to turn out nice buds I just think once you hit 300w+ it's better g/pw ratio to just use a 250w or 400w hps. Personally I like to use cfl or t5 for seedlings/clones, led and/or CFL'S for veg and 400w HPS for flower, in total I draw about 800w-1kW/hr...

If you want to add a blue spectrum bulb check it's lumen output and make sure it's equal or lower to that of one 2700k spectrum bulb. Ideally you want about 3 quarters warm yellow light and a quarter blue spectrum. You could flower just fine with all 2700k bulbs, the blue spectrum just guides...

I used a single 23w cfl to sprout 6 seedlings recently, I'd just stick with the CFL's or go with a t5 :p I love t5 for seedling/clone stage. Plus why change what works?

Damn those are shiny, did you neem or something? Never seen such a shiny plant naturally.

Are they all the same wattage and somewhat the same lumen output? It depends how many lumens the bulbs output, a 70% 2700k spectrum and 30% 6400k spectrum wouldn't be bad but if the blue light spectrum puts out too many lumens it may begin drowning too much of the 2700k and giving the plant...

Light leaks!! If light gets out it gets in, I've had this concept since I started and it's served me well. Put your hand over the canopy between the lights, if it's uncomfortable for you it's uncomfortable for the plant. I used to run 4 145w CFL'S with 80mm and 100mm pc fans for intake/exhaust...

I normally veg plants to about a foot, foot and a half with LST and then flower them, normally get at least 2 zips dried weight per plant and run 6 plants in 3 gal pots in a 1.2x1.2x2m tent. I don't scrog though I may as well, I tie all my plants down so the canopy is even scrog style, normally...

Hey mate, I think you uploaded the same pic twice so can't see the residue but are these out doors by any chance? It looks a lot like some slug/snail damage to me, could also be a caterpillar though.

They're not pc fans. Pc fans operate at 12v and normally move 80-200cfm. His fans are 240v and move twice as much. @op They make some pretty quiet 6" inline fans these days. Couple that with an enclosed hood and a carbon can filter plus the fan you showed for in-take and I think you'd be...

With that set up I'd do a rotation, have a few cuttings under a t5 or cfl, veg in a separate area with the l.e.d and flower 2 plants maybe scrog with the 400.

Had a smack in the face when I woke up at 7am this mornin to check my plants and found an array of bugs on them :( Found what appears to be a caterpillar in one of my tops, got the tweezers out and eradicated him but not sure if there is more. Also found 3-4 of these green/brown flying...

I actually hate spiders haha, normally they send cold chills up my spine but these little guys amuse me haha. One of them little money spiders moved on yesterday, I was very amused by his side ways walking until he jumped and I couldn't see him. I think I may have a gnat problem, lack of air...

Yeah swazi gold is a strong sativa hybdrid from Swaziland. It's probably not, just that node structure reminds me of one. Don't stress about the new growth, it's likely just the strain.

Fair bit of stretch, you may need to support the colas a little further into flower but it'll be an alright plant. Tip for your next grow, keep the lights as close as possible without burning the tips. CFL's can be kept really close to the canopy since they don't produce much heat. I use 2x...

He is still there, and one of his mates has moved in on a clone haha. These plants are indoors under 12/12 lighting now, decided I'd do what I know haha. I didn't think it was a spidermite just wasn't sure what to do with him haha. He doesn't seem to make bad webs, just between leaves as he...

Hey guys, so this is my first out door grow, I've done a few indoor but my mate moved and gave me a plant so sort of have no idea whether to keep this spider or not. 2 days ago I spotted this little spider and moved him off the plant, angry little bugger he is too. I noticed his back today...
