I got a late start on my first outdoor crop. They were indoors for germination and a few weeks until yet one more light bulb from my supplier burned out prematurely and I had to get them all outside. They appeared to be doing fine, though. But although one preflowered early, none showed any...

Thanks, RadioKills, I like the 24 hour thing - makes sense to me to get the extra veg - I tend to take Cervantes book like the Bible, but ... We often don't get frost until November or close to it here. What are the details about CBD content - it develops last, so to speak? I was able to take...

The 14 hours or less light thing is from Jorge Cervantes big book Marijuana Horticulture and the info came from Henk, the owner of Dutch Passion seeds. But that doesn't make it gospel. If someone else knows details on this, I would like to hear about it. This referred from what I can tell to the...

So I have finally completed my 1&2 compound grow. I got a fairly large amount from my orange bud - one large single plant and 4 (as I recall) smaller ones. The buds were huge, some a true handful. I paid attention to detail in harvesting them - the first batch had orange pistils and the...

I am getting a late start for growing outdoors - I have a medical card so not so much worry in terms of outdoor growing, but I know I should have had seeds started long before now. I thought I would start them indoors under HID at 14 hours light (more females) for 4-6 weeks, then put them...

I have used the AG to start seeds and grow starts two times and it worked beautifully but by four weeks, they had to be transplanted - not a problem, but there was no way they were going all the way in the AG.

So I am going to harvest this weekend - it's been about 3 months since I put my one female (Orange Bud) into 12/12 - I thought she would be done before now, but I think she is about perfect now. I will include photos from harvest, but today will put up some from a few weeks back, heading to the...

Had another bulb failure - a bulb that should have lasted more than 6 weeks - HPS - and it's really frustrating. I had another, but was lucky. It did give me an excuse to swap out the HID while I found the HPS and take photos of the grow. Sure can't get good shots with the HPS or my green safety...

Hey, nice grow! I am just finishing up on my first grow also hydro. It's pretty cool. Will add some pix to my grow journal, noob's first grow or whatever I called it. It's fun to share first grow experiences. I know the h202 helped mine. Thanks for the fun! Learning how to do this is pretty cool...

I just started using H202 a couple of weeks ago. From information I have gotten, the OTC 3% does have additives that they apparently don't need to tell us about. That's true for both some foods and drugs. Good ol' FDA, not. For stabilization or some crap. . The 35% tech version also has stuff in...

Semi-update and pondering my first/second (mixed together, sort of) grow: I bought Skunk #1 seeds and Orange Bud seeds - Have sprouted 7 of the Skunk and yet to get a female, tho I have one seedling growing that has not preflowered and might turn out female. The OBs did 4 females out of 6...

Thanks, Fuct, this is information I have really needed. I have a tiny space - about 5x6 feet, financial constraints, health issues, but could probably do two plants every two weeks with the right set-up. That's about 3/4 oz average per plant? I suppose it depends on the variety. But that's...

I had not heard that feminized seeds tend to go hermaphrodite! Is that true? I had hoped to save up for some since my luck with regular seeds has not been anything close to 50/50. Yikes. Is that true for some varieties more than others?

Higgins and NoeNoe, welcome - I am a noob doing my first grow - skunk #1 and orange bud - I just got my medical card and once I have what I need hope to grow for others who can't as I think the quantities will work out. You should be able to get all the help you need here. It's been really great...

Yeah, thunder, that's what I am asking, too - what's a good sweet nute for buds? Okay potroast, that's two of us askin'.

So SunnyD, did the new bulb work? I thought my bulb had blown but it was the ballast. HTG sent parts, but that took over a week and then those didn't solve the problem, either. It was the ballast itself. They finally sent a new ballast but my 12/12 went almost 3 weeks on HID because I didn't...

Hi cbraaszsy I think this plant is about 2.5 feet now, and will hopefully go taller. I am trying to estimate now, before I can harvest and weigh it to see if I have enough for my medical needs and how to plan. Counting my chickens before they are hatched, ya know! :-) Thanks, tho - that will...

Progress report - photos coming later. My main plant, the orange bud, looks pretty good considering HTG still has not gotten my replacement 400 ballast to me and I am having to run on 250 HID for this stage of bloom. From what I know this will reduce my yield. Hoping that ballast comes soon -...

By the time they had grown 4 weeks, my AG starts were pretty huge (had just been transplanted in my grow journal photos) and the root tangle was rather a problem - I hated to tear any roots at all, but had to. I don't know how much trouble that is. I used superthrive on planting them in my ebb...

I will watch out for the gunk - my ebb and flow reservoir is kind of a drag - I will look into trying the DNF A&B you recommend. I like my bucket a lot for ease, but not sure it's ideal for growing clones in my space - once I have eight of them they are no longer easy. Can anyone suggest the...
