It sounds like you're on the right track with everything and doing a lot of research. Keep reading and keep asking questions.

I really like where you are going with everything. I was where you are about 2 years ago and I have encountered every problem in the book. I'm not an expert in the field but I have learned a lot through trial and error and I can say that I'm a pretty damn good gardener now. Your space sounds...

I understand that nutrient brands have their suggested measurements but it ML or by teaspoon and does not include PPM levels. Not to mention if you are not supposed to feed them at the suggested levels that really effects what an accurate ppm level is. Maybe I'm making this way more difficult...

Hello again. Basically I have been learning more and more and trying to put all of the knowledge and tools into action but I am struggling to find specific info regarding ppm levels throughout plant growth stages. Now that I have finally got a grasp on what ppm's are, I have a question every...

Hello, I noticed today that I had a couple of buds that had very minor moldy spots on it but I know that mold is dangerous and even minor mold is no good. I thought I had dried the buds enough before starting the cure and I also thought I was burping them enough but apparently I wasn't. I have...

Came across John Doe seeds and they seem to have good prices and a good selection but I'm always weary about ordering from places other than Nirvana. Any feedback would be great.

You could use a large fluorescent for vegging but I would use the HPS in the flowering department. Your baby could really use the reds of the HPS spectrum.

Sounds like you have a lot of great tools for the project. I wouldn't be too concerned about sound proofing anything unless your fan or light make an awfully loud buzz. Is the box 40" tall? It may get pretty hot so in my opinion I'd go with 250w light. Hydrofarm makes a great light that is...

I would guess this is nutrient burn / lockout. I'd flush them and continue to feed them straight 7.0 water with no nutes for at least a couple of weeks then start with your nutes at 1/4 strength but keep your PH around 6.8 - 7.1 range. Runoff should not be at 7.5. Hope this helps a little.

In my opinion it looks like it could have had nute burn. Did you start your last round of nutes at 1/4 strength? Same thing happened to me recently. I would flush them. I also concur with BigJim that your Ph is too low. I usually bump my PH up to 7.0 with soil.

Well it looks like 5 days was too long. I jarred them up and they never came back. In order to salvage anything good I took several members advice to trim a fresh leaf and toss that in with the jar and try to continue curing as usual. Kind of a bummer but it's a great learning experience.

I'm concerned with bottling too early and also not drying long enough. The outside feels pretty dry but when I squeeze one of the larger ones I can tell that there is still some moisture in there. Any good advice / tips for based on my humidity levels and description? Since this is my first...

Thanks everyone. The humidity on a low end of the day is 35% and 45% on a high. How often should I burp them if I bottle now?

I've been drying for 3 days and the stem isn't snapping yet but everything feels so dry on the outside. This is my first harvest so I'm getting a little worried. Should I jar it now? Should I wait? Will they moisten back up? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all of the input.

Thanks Vonkins. I appreciate the quick reply.

I have a problem with ordering Indian take out. Curry and Veggie Samosas are too good.

I'm trying to get all of my ducks in a row before harvesting and there has been some conflicting info when it comes to harvest time, dry time and curing time. I think I've gathered some good info on the harvest so now I'm on to drying. I have a cabinet with a screen that slides in and I will be...

Thanks Professor. That's some fantastic advice. I'll hold off for a week and see how she does.

Buds are VERY plump, especially over the last 2 weeks. My microscope is a cheapie and I can't really get a good picture through it. I have this feeling that she's ready but I don't want to pull the trigger too soon. So frustrating.
