    How cold can my outside girls get without dying?

    So overnight low temps are dropping into the high 40s later this week, with daily highs anywhere from mid 60s to nearly 80. I have a nice Blue Mystic around 3ft tall, and a beautiful Northern Lights over 5 feet. Both are flowering pretty good now, and I hope they will have time to finish. I'm...

    Anyone have problem getting orders from SANNIES?

    Made an order with Sannies for some Herijuana seeds back on June 29th...and still have not gotten it here in the US. I've already emailed about it, and got a reply from Sannie on July 18th...'just wait a bit more because sometimes it takes longer', etc. So...now it has been another week, and...

    First Grow: Are My Girls Looking, Okay?

    These are my AK48 girls...vegged for 8 weeks with 6500k (26w) CFLs and 3 small T5s for side fill. The ladies are now under 2700k (42w) CFLs with the T5s, and they're on day 30 of flowering here. One is a (topped) double cola plant, and the other is the single cola clone of her top. They're...

    First Grow...2nd week flower-yellowing on lower leaves...any help?

    Any experienced growers know what the issue is with the first plant? She's only two weeks into flowering and is losing color at the bottom. Is it N deficient, or something else? The last photo is the cloned top of the first and is just three inches shorter at this point. The strain is AK48...

    NEWB question...When is it too late to re-pot my girls?

    Have a couple AK-48 girls that are just 11 days into flower now. I was planning to put them into larger pots (going up to 3 gallon from about 1gal), but think I remember reading that stress from repotting could hermie them. Is it too late to gently switch them to a larger pot now that they've...

    HELP! Question about sex- (No, not that kind of sex you perv)

    Do male plants usually show faster than female? Also, do the female preflowers look similar to the male pods at first appearance? The male pods are showing in clusters of at least 3-5 pods, but the one plant I'm not sure about yet has similar looking things in single spots where the branches...

    HELP! FIRST GROW- how long for a male to produce pollen so I can collect some?

    I have some AK-48s that have been vegged for 8 weeks and just finished the first week of flowering. One appears to be showing male now and I was thinking of keeping it in another room (far away from grow) until I can collect some pollen from it. How long would it take for it to mature enough to...

    Feed FF Big Bloom alone or with other nutes?

    My plants are in their first week of 12/12 flowering. They're in soil, using CFLs and were vegged for 8 weeks with Schultz 10-15-10 nutes. I've given them a dose of the Fox Farms Big Bloom since starting the 12/12 schedule, and they seem happy with it. As the Big Bloom is organic and rather...

    FF Big Bloom question

    I'm about to switch into flowering after 8 weeks veg. My plants will be due for their nutes the day before changing to 12/12, and are currently getting Schultz 10-15-10. I have Fox Farm Big Bloom ready and waiting to go, but should I start using it now, or wait until after they've been in...

    Bathroom ventilation fan usable in grow box?

    I got a ventilation fan like for a bathroom/shower that is set up to vent into a 4inch outlet hose(which I already had). Do you think this will be workable for a closet grow box setup? I think it was a 70cfm, if I remember correctly.:bigjoint:

    You clone a clone...but should you top a top?

    So I know that many growers take clones from clones, basically keeping the same plant reproduced for a very long time. My question is, would it be the same thing to grow a top out after topping a plant - and then topping that top, and so on... When you plant a top that was clipped from a new...

    18/6 lights-to 16/8 then 14/10 before 12/12 -anyone have experience with this method?

    I read somewhere about a gradual shift toward the 12/12 lighting schedule for flowering. It suggests that from the 18/6 lights, you lower to 16/8, and then 14/10 before the 12/12 final for flowering. The point was to avoid stressing the plant by giving it a week at each light level on the way...

    What Temperature and Humidity range is best?

    My stealth closet grow has been seeing much lower temperatures now that the weather here has turned cold. Overnight temps drop to near freezing and daytime is anywhere from 40-50F...this means my indoor room temps are often as low as 65 after dark. I use CFLs and soil, and will reach the 5...

    Is this over watering...or something else?

    From what I have been able to find on the 'plant problems' pages, it appears as though I've been guilty of the newbie tendency to over water my babies. Am I correct in this diagnosis, or is there something else wrong here? The plants were 26 days old in these photos. The two AK48s and the Blue...

    Stealth grow odor control questions

    I'm starting my first closet grow of 2 short riders and wonder how stinky they're going to get. Will two smaller plants like the short riders are supposed to be get really stinky, or is it easy to cover with air fresheners, etc.? What about charcoal to absorb some odor - a tray or two right...
