Yeah, what hic said. Tear that shit up, as deep and wide as you care to go. Set you up some kinda buffer at the bottom--local leaves and logs, greensand, what the hell ever, but put something down there. We have had plants die due to root rot, caused by standing water at the bottom of holes...

Agreed, but impractical for larger crops. If it's my choice, which it ain't always, I'd cut it down, "big leaf" it (pull the biggest fans) and then hang the whole plant. Takes longer than wet-trim-and-quick-dry, but high quality has its price. Which in this case is doing absolutely nothing...

Unless you live on the sun, 2 days ain't enough dry time. Between when you cut it down and when it's ready, it'll go thru what we call the "gassy" stage around here at my place. That's when the water is evaporating and the chlorophyll and starches (?) in there are undergoing their chemical...

I agree, but don't forget to wash it off, OK? Spray it on and once you're done, don't let it sit on there longer than an hour. Less time is even better. Yes, it is a wonderful bug killer that I use constantly. But it clogs stomata, and that's how your plants breathe, and if you don't wash it...

I second that part about the grape ape. The bubble hash from that plant didn't need to be pressed, and couldn't be, anyhow...taken out of the water bags and put onto a plate to dry, it simply puddled as it dried. A week + later, when dry, it had to be peeled off the plate, and bent and folded...

Do you mean the hairs seem too big or too long? Or they're weird in some way? 'Cause I've had that happen to me, and it was caused by heat stress, in my case. Otherwise, no, it's all good, enjoy yr pistils.

If your room is really well sealed and climate controlled, it shouldn't make a difference, but mine's not, so it does to me... Soilless is just that...anything but soil. I've never seen anyone use straight peat, i think in most cases that'd be a bummer. Sunshine Mix, por exemple, is peat...

I sure like my MK Ultra for an all-dayer. It's got a unique cedary, almost paint-y smell and flavor, with a surprising fruity undertone on the finish. Crazy. The high is real uppy; I'd almost-but-not-quite call it speedy. Most herbs I've smoked that I'd call "uppy" I'd also call "feeble."...

So my "selfed" beans are just as likely to produce hermie plants as any old feminized whatnot? I haven't grown feminized stuff, but I understand they are prone to herm... Thanks for stepping in to help, BT.

Plants can sometimes do what they call "selfing." Poke around in the breeder's threads, over in the advanced growing section. (I'll dig up a link in a minute...) They'll produce a seed or two, probably down at the bottom of a branch rather than IN one of the nugs. Not always the case, I...

Here's my NYCD, halfway thru week 9. Wish I had a nicer camera, or some skill at taking shots, but wth...As you can see, some of these are nowhere near done; I just figured out it was the green lite. The nugs directly under it got all long and pointy...The ones in the corners (not shown) are...

I like coco best so far as well... But it does depend on some stuff, there's no cut-n-dry answer. Atm, I'm using a coco mix made by Royal Gold. A little pricey, but i think the drainage is dynamite, suitable for ebb n flow. Also, it contains some organic stuff, so when my little ones are...

I did a trim in CO, 5 strains, all from Dutch seed. Which seed companies, idunno. Each strain had a plant or two, with a seed or two apiece, always in the same spot: right at the bottom of a branch. These must be the "selfed" seeds you guys are talkin about, 'cause I can testify that there...

Ah ha! I think that purty much answers it. The question of genetic drift needs to be taken in context...I mean, in an ideal scenario where you take clones from your own lovingly cared-for moms, generation after generation should stay virtually identical, probably for longer than you can stand...

Your grow method will be determined by: your space, your goals, and, most importantly, your plants. It's difficult to impossible to know what to expect from a plant/strain until you've seen it through a whole cycle. Given a good environment (it sounds like those youtube videos can show you...

Yep, the GC (sorry, "Dream Queen" lol) I had for about a year was 8-9 weeks, meaning I could get away with 8 but 9 was better, in 6" rockwool on flood n drain tables. Dunno about the others, but I'd expect 9-10 wks on em. GC was one of the earlier finishers outdoors, but I dont think it likes...

"surviveors111 Hahaha I was stating some facts I found out by doing it!! Not bye reading it!!! My results are not theory! I might be lazy, I might be not, I could be rich, I could smoke pot, I might just be lieing, a whole whole lot, but in My Huble Opinion, I know how and how not.... I don't...

OK, here's my two cents, since this has come up for me before... First, let's assume that most people growing the ganj are NOT self-proclaimed "old-school" "experts." Let's also assume that they ARE capable of reading and following the instructions printed on most brands of plant food, whether...

Fascinating thread. Please keep us posted!

Here's some pics of the Alien OG x Master Kush after 2 weeks in 2 gallon pots. I know I said 1 gallon before, but I was mistaken, which is the first time that's ever happened. They've been t opped over the last couple days, with the exception of the one pictured. In about 10 days they'll go...
