when moving indoor plants outdoors, introduce them slowly in a shady area since they will not be use to the ultraviolet light from the sun.

ive read about wearing surgical gloves when harvesting and then freezing them and supposedly the trichs will just break off when ya pull the gloves from the freezer..

If you see signs of nutrient burn be sure to check your pH - it may not be a "too much or too little nutrient" problem. It could be that the pH is off and preventing the plant from absorbing nutrients (see pH/nutrient charts above).

after, or more likely while you are harvesting and cleaning up your buds for drying, your scissors become caked with trichomes. You can scrape off the scissor blades with a razor and smoke what you scrape off - hash!

does this answer your question?

Be sure to dry your buds very well before jarring them. Or at least be very aware of any ammonia or "cat piss" odor - that is mold and you should not smoke moldy bud. A lung infection or worse is very likely.

If you really want to see the progress of your plants, take pictures daily (about the same time if possible). you may be surprised by the rapid progress (or at least impressed with the daily changes).

The minor changes go unnoticed but are easy to see in side-by-side pictures.

my tip for today

this one is for the soil growers

run off is very important, when you water your plant make sure you get between 10-20% run off i.e if you water a plant using 2 litres you want 200-400mil of water from the bottom of your pot, this will help flush out any old nute and stop a salt build up in your soil.

great stuff EMAIL

wear latex/vinyl gloves when handling light bulbs - especially HIDs. It keeps the oil from your fingers off them which can cause them to shatter.

Don't forget to ENJOY your garden. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in trying to be successful or worrying and fretting about the health and welfare of the plants, we forget to just spend time with the little babies who bring so much joy into our lives.

Gardens should help ease your worry - not be the cause of stress.
