Me either. So much for that plan.
I've been reading cruzer101 greenhouse thread too. I plan on a Sulfur burn (or 3) too. I have Neem Oil and Pro-teKt too. I'll try to find that Doc Doom, but I might have to order it. Next plan sound OK if no one has the doc doom?
Here's pics after we trimmed all infected fan leaves off. I think maybe cardboard box for pure dark then whack down tomorrow. I don't want this to spread to any of the other areas. Burn the box too when I'm done.
Oh, I think my outdoor plant Lucy is going to hermie on me too. Decide real soon on that one. Strikes and Gutters, Dude, Strikes and Gutters. Love that Lebowski.

From what I have read, when you harvest the plant the living bugs will leave in search of living plants. Just something more to chew on.

Maybe dark in box for 24, then clip and hang in box to dry?

Damn riddle . I think U have convinced me to drop my current train of thought and following .Not mentioning any names on my following but not to hard to figure out .Too many discrepancies with that guys method I think all the fame maybe swelled his head! I,d rather follow someone who is concise and backs there experiments instead of leaving everyone wandering spending hours reading threads on various sites trying to figure out what the hell this guy actually did to make this shit work! Don't get me wrong though much respect for this guy as a successful grower/breeder , but what u have going on is similar to my original train of thought .You give details with "exact measurements and quantities " ,and run very interesting experiments .I,m subbed brother gonna read up on your experiments .

just read all my sig links completely (takes awhile lol) but there is a ton of research and info all of which is now being tested in my current grow

i think they hate heat and humidity. so dark box may not be good thing. someone please correct me if I am wrong about the heat and humidity...?

i had them on my very first grow, but as soon as I got them it turned out to be a male. it was in my attic, and all my gear stayed there for 2 months of winter before growing again, so i have never seen them again. but point is I had to do a little research on them, but cannot be for sure about my above statement, it may be the reverse. good luck.

hey riddle just a quick question regarding your "make it rain" methods. Which might I say seem very intriguing and on my first grow will be initialized. So you flush the plant with 3 times the medium with 5.8 pH water? Now I'm a little confused.. is this done during the lights out period? and do u add nutes shortly after?

do it within the first hour of lights on add nutes when soil/meduium dries at least 3 inches down

I wrote a better explanation here

link goes straight to it

I think I got a hermie. This pic kinda shows.

hermies happen, get some seeds

I'm pretty sure #8 Lucy, was a clone with #10 that hermied months ago. Genetic, not stress. I'll make it into butter again. I have seeds of Purple Rain to start next, and access to other cloned strains from my caregiver so no reason to chance more or even any on the other 4 outside. Tomorrow I'll know more. She/he has been left out of the dome. Outdoor plants are weird.
Doc doom fogger and knockout ordered. M.M. is in the shed for the night. I had her in the sun for several hours. Didn't see any mites this afternoon on a check.

hey riddle one more quick question regarding "making it rain". Do you do this every watering? and is this done during both veg and flower?

just jumped over to that one, I'm reading them all. Great information and much gratitude to you sir.

RM3 is an awesome researcher, even better teacher and we will see how great a grower....

JOKE!! LMAO!! Excuse me as I am rather baked on brownies and some 'wreck...

If you think as you read it will click in your brain and you will amaze yourself. He is truly gifted and such a generous soul...a treasure in today's dark world. All the guys you see "hanging" out in his threads are awesome knowledgeable common sense people who have awesome "hype and BS radar". I have attempted to apply all I learn here and all of it has proven rock solid. These people will turn you into a grower and not a noob.

Thanx, RM3, Cowboy, Gumball, RMH, Big MultY, Dapper DYI Dan, SKH, Cruz, UB, MM, etc. and so on and if I left you out its cause I am baked and not responsible so thanx to you as well...LOL!

Well anyways you are heading down the correct path.

welcome..

Namaste'

All gobbldy gook to me !!! But thats what it is

i know. i think he was trying to say, that CMH only gave you a wider spectrum, and HPS gave you more light. but i guess he decided to ramble on about other bulbs. sorry, i speak a little mumbo jumbo, not close to fluent yet, but getting there hahaha

my females are starting 8th week. bagseed, mainly sativa cross. The last 2 weeks i have added Gravity at half strength (1/4 tsp per gallon) 3 waterings. I used Molasses 4 waterings (2 with the gravity, 2 by itself), I started this 4 weeks ago, alternated with FOX Farms feeding using their calendar. My plants are healthy, flowers are really dense and gooey, trichomes are beginning ot turn milky so i am close to finished. On 3-5 buds, i am noticing some male flowers on one of my plants that was stressed from pulling the top down to get it more light, when i did this the main plant shaft bent a little, causing bruising but it didnt stop the growth. should i worry about the male flowers this late in the cycle??? soil grow, 150W HPS, T5 CFL

How long into flowering do you have to wait before you can collect the pollen on a male? either by removing the sacks or letting the pollen release on its own?
