Thanks for your help! I will definitely try the 4 day dark period before harvest...that sounds cool. Two other questions are: How long is the usual time period you have once the plants are ready for harvest, and when it is too late to harvest? I realize it is somewhat a thing of preference of...

not sure because i started with clones, but I am pretty sure you do not use nutrients until you have sprouted and have some sort of regular plant growth. If anything, you might be able to spray a very diluted nutrient formula on the rock wool, but I would make sure to check some other posts...

Sorry I have not updated my posts in quite some time...It just did not seem like it was very interactive with the viewers. However, I've run into a couple problems. I just started flushing a couple days ago because they almost look done to me and hopefully I didn't start too late. Also, the...

Here are better pictures after putting then under HPS. Where do the buds come from...at every node site or just from the tops of the branches? How do they look?

So I waited one extra week to move into flowering because I was leaving on a trip and didn't want to start something new when I was going to be gone. Then I did a 37 hour dark cycle and then started them on their 12/12 light cylcle. I had them under my fluoros for 2 cycles until I bought my 400W...

Just posting to get any comments, suggestions, etc. before I switch over to flowering in 2 days. Still don't have the lights, but should be picking them up when i put them through a 36 hour dark cycle. Any suggestions for well priced hps setup or LED? Also, I put my drip back in, after i was...

Hey everyone, I am about to switch over to flowering and want to change lighting from my 6500k cfl to something better for flowering. I am looking at the most cost effective HPS setup or maybe LED setup. So far I am thinking about using HighTechGarden's products shown here...

plants are looking good as far as i know. the root structure is shown and they look quite full and healthy I topped one of the plants just to try it out and left the other two alone, mostly because they didn't look ready. I removed the fourth plant which never took root after it broke a few...

if drip is your only water source i would recommend a drip ring. more water is better as far as i know. I made a working drip system for about 8 bucks, but that is my secondary water source so maybe not the best for you. just hooked up a 1/2 in hose to my water pump which has a hose hookup and...

thanks. looks like I was on track with nutes. maybe a little lighter than possible. i'm still a little confused about topping and taking off branches... Can i top now and start flowering in about 10 days? Looks like I am going to need to harvest in the middle of December? Is that possible, or...

I am using a rubbermaid tub and had the bottom of the pots touching the waterline and then the drip on top. Before you put the rockwool with the plant into the hydroton i think you just submerge the rockwool into water twice a day and put them under 24 hours of light. Not sure because I got mine...

Here are my plants after 25 days. I will change the water for the third time today and 150% the nutes which will be about a cap and a half of each a and b. Its weird because the nutes the hydroponic store recommended are a two part, but both have the same directions on the back saying it is a...

thanks for the replies! anyone have a good affordable choice for more advanced lights? What power do I need for four plants for flowering? Thanks

cool replies... so what is the rule of thumb with topping before the flowering stage? Can i top right at 5 weeks and let it do a 24 hour dark cycle then go straight into 12/12 or do i have to let it grow in veg a little bit after topping? The reason I might leave my drip system is because it is...

I am trying to get the plants to train around the circumference of the pot and then i am going to top it when it meets back up with the beginning. How long should I veg/ how long would that take/ is that a good idea?

Here are my plants at 17 days into vegetative. I have increased the nutrient feed by double which is about a cap full of Aqua-flakes A and a cap full of B liquid formula. How much nutrients should I be putting in? They seem to respond really well to the nutrients with a lot of root growth...

I put it back inside with the other plants after following the instructions, but i don't have rooting hormone on me so i just stuck it in the rockwool and am hoping it will start up again. should i plan on getting new rockwool and rooting hormone tomorrow and trying to replace it again?

Here is a picture of the stem and then the plant i put in the ground outside haha. Please help.

there is one small branch off the stem that contains two small leaves. the reason i want to keep it is because the other clones are pretty full into their second week of vegetative growth. the one that broke was the best and tallest and the stem is the biggest and strongest of the four. i made a...

My fan fell on one of my clones and broke it about 2 inches above the base. Now i am left with a 2 inch stem in hydroten with healthy roots and about a foot or more of the other end of the plant. Will either grow and how should i go about salvaging them? can i put the plant outside? can i cut...
