im using completely organic manure... cow dung mixed with worm extract
dont have a ph meter.... but im using a reverse osmosis water filter system ph is 6.5...
isnt recommended ph between 5-6? Maybe you should try lowering it a little bit before watering.

um lighting maybe? your problem is strange. Usually its a nute burn, but it doesnt sound like your adding a whole lot of nutrients.

I've heard rain water is good to use on your plants. Can you use the runoff from your roof, or should you just use the stuff that falls directly from the heavens?

learn 2 edit post rather then posting twice : P. Yes females have hairs and males get little white balls. if the balls pop your females will be fertilized so dont let that happen. I dont know about peters whatever. Im going to use fox farm or general hydroponic nutrients.

I've heard from people that police helicoptors can detect rays that the light emits for growing marijuana and the only way of preventing that is tin foil, mylar, or something similar to those. Is that true? My growing space already has flat white paint so as long as there is no risk involved with police i don't want to have to buy tin foil ya know? And I was also wondering what is the best light to start and finish with, I've heard floresent light is best for veggitating if so why is it the best? just curious! Thanks :]

hey buddy, got a couple of questions. I got 4 skunks and the tricombs are starting to turn amber on the top. They have been flowering for 5 weeks, should I start to flush? I also have a hermaphrodite as well. I plan to use my shake over the year and make cold water hash. Could I use the hermi shake for the thc, is there thc in a hermi, since there are little hairs still growing. and do u know anything about seeding? thanks

I want to start growing in May however I really need some bud for the summer. If I germinate late April would it be possible to have bud before July?
Also, how long does it take before a plant begins to show whether it's male or female? What are the differences?

Thanks

If I over watered my plants with nutes.. How do I flush my plants?
mm.. You want to flush with roughly 2x the size of your container. Some people do 3x. Do it all in one session.



Will I be able to grow my seeds for 3 weeks with 20w 12v lamp and then move them outdoors?
23W CFL you mean, right? 6500K. Then yeah.. if youre planning on doing a few plants it would definitely benefit you to put a more CFLs on the plant though!

before july.. mm, i would say no. if you grab a clone, you can start flowering almost right away. you'll need to start flowering 10-12 weeks before you want to smoke it. 8-10 for flowering, 2 weeks to dry and start curing. with a clone starting end of april, maybe ready by mid-july. some sativas take longer to finish, so be wary of that too.


Concerning males and females.. look at the first 3 questions and answers on this link! ---> Q & A for newbies!

Flush about.. 7-10 days before you harvest. Some people go longer.. couple weeks with 1 or 2 small waterings.

Yes hermi's are smokable/have thc, so you can use them for what ever goodies you want. they also have seeds..

what did you want to know about seeding? how to? like with a brush?

Not really sure about the detection stuff. I would say it's some hoo-ey.. but i'm not sure.

Here's a link to a nice thread on lighting ---> READ THIS. It's worth the time!

I would break it down but its really something you should read.
