do seeds have to be dried, or will fresh ones germinate if you plan to use them right away? sry if this has been asked... slow connection = difficulty searching...

here's a better pic of the first one... same balls no two hairs...

skunkberry from peakseedsbc.com apx 1 week into 12/12. I think they are males, but wanted positive confirmation before pulling them b/c I've only used female clones in the past. also, assuming they are males, apx how long before they would start spreading pollen?

thx 4 the info Hobbes. I did have one of these blueberries go hermie on me after trying to force it back into veg after flowering for about 3-4 weeks. I pulled that one once I saw those green bananas u described, though. It was a stoopid, wasteful experiment...

yeah blueberry but I'm not sure which one or where it's from... possibly peak seeds, but that's just a guess b/c I know they came from SW BC. They're fussy little bitches sometimes... so I don't need to plunge them into darkness today? just wait for the lights to go off like normal tonight...

week 7, trics are still mostly clear... maybe 10-20% cloudy.. Veg chamber w/ 4 40W flouros was left open during dark cycle. Not shining directly on the plants, but the reflection off the wall lit up the room... problem? chop now or proceed?

if u use baby oil, turn the lights out for about 4 hours to prevent cooking your girls. since you are in veg, you can also just mix up tobacco and/or cayenne pepper to spray them down w/. make sure you hit the whole plant, especially under the leaves. another cheap easy fix in a small area...

azatrol works pretty good, but you'll never get them all w/ spraying... fill a 5 ga bucket & intvert & dip them so everything gets covered. do it again in 3-5 days after the eggs hatch, but before they reproduce. high humidity is very effective at killing them too, but prbly risks other...

late entry, but for anyone who has a Kirby vacuum, there's is a hose attachment w/ a very sharp taper that ends w/ an opening not much bigger than a pencil point. Works good for removing mites & eggs w/ out shredding leaves. a tip I was given w/ azamax is to mix up a bucket of it, invert the...

u might want to try a few before replacing all of them. only reason I say that is I switched all a few yrs ago, but wasn't happy w/ the light quality in a few rooms. I spend 12 hrs/day in a windowless room & had to go w/ Reveal bulbs to keep from going batcrap crazy... the CFL's were just too...

great tips... I'd like to add that, if you are the homeowner, many of the energy saving improvements like adding attic insulation, windows, & energy star appliances will qualify for a tax credit also. Thereby saving you additional $$$. Talk to your accountant before making any purchases or you...

LST can be time-consuming... but that's not necessarily a bad thing if you enjoy spending time w/ ur plants & watching the grass grow

I thought the damage was inconsistent w/ the pics of spider mites I've seen too. And, someone else just told me the creepies I found are the wrong color for spider mites. They look black or brown to me, but I can't get enough magnification to tell for certain... only that they're zipping around...

thx for the responses, but I did a little closer inspection this morning w/ a piece of paper & magnifying glass & it appears to be spider mites... fvck

these spots started showing up a few days ago & don't look like the nute burns I've seen in the past. much more copper colored. I'm told this is blueberry, and the mother they came from tasted a bit like blueberrys, but all I really know for certain is that the original beans came from a farm...

the vermiculite you buy bagged up in stores does NOT contain asbestos. Some vermiculite mines in the past contained asbestos , but have since been shut down. It is perfectly safe, but not what the OP needed anyway unless he's making some cakes,

pssst.... hey, RUI... if anyone asks, I was never here, ok?

basically just looking for a few free/low cost tweaks to help yield. Any suggestions are welcome, however, budget is stretched thin already, so $400 CO2 systems or separate MH lamp aren't in the cards right now. Might try a DWC system next, but want to stick w/ forgiving soil for a few more...

here's a good site for knots http://www.animatedknots.com/truckersrescue/index.php

quick lst question... after you switch to 12/12, when do you stop training and just let them grow upward? right away? wait until flowers appear?
