It's spelled "TRICHOME". you need a good magnifying glass and they look like tiny mushrooms all over your buds and smaller leaves. Do not harvest according to the color of the hairs. Want a mental high ? Harvest when the trichomes are 50% clear and 50% milky or mostly milky (on the head of...

Leaving it on 24/7 will help a bit in the tubes not plugging up so bad. Nutes don't solidify as quickly when you just let it run. Here's a helpful hint for you.....get a syringe and fill it with real hot water and then unplug the air tube to whatever pot is plugged and push the hot water into...

Re: How to know when to harvest. Well, you shouldn't have cut the fan leaves off. They supply the plant with a lot and collect the light. Your buds don't look done yet. Have some patience and turn your lights on for 11 or 12 hour cycles. It is the genetics of the plant too. I'd use...

Re: A poll to see what kind of nutes are prefered. See my post on page 5 of this thread for my grow history. Now for my facts....... Used all the stuff I bought on my babies for 1 month ( not the bloom of course). Not happy with the results and all the mixing. I went back to SUPER NATURAL...

Re: A poll to see what kind of nutes are prefered. I have used taranula and piranha with great results and am using it again in my 6th indoor grow. I recommend it, the girls LOVE it.

I used the Water Farm for 4 grows. I too had lots of trouble with the tubes plugging up with salts, when I used all organics the drip tubes plugged up with slimey matter. I just got the Ebb and Grow system and am hoping to avoid all the problems I had with the Water Farm system. good luck

Re: A poll to see what kind of nutes are prefered. Okay, so I went to DH ( Discount Hydro in Riverside, CA about 200 miles from me) on Monday and because I am a GREAT customer ( order all my stuff from them, comes in plain boxes, best prices too) they took real good care of me with a discount...

Re: A poll to see what kind of nutes are prefered. I used a flood and drain for my first grow doing it manually every couple of hours with Maxi Grow, Super thrive and made bat shit tea, and added Sweet for the first month. Then I changed to Dr. Hornby's Iguana Juice. Added a CO2 Boost Bucket...

I use the Waterfarm system by GH. My roots are in water and my plants are huge and green. I think you have over fertilized and it's too hot. Lower your temps !!! Keep it below 72* and even cooler when the lights are off during bloom period.

Re: How to know when to harvest. couldn't have said it better myself. you are right on with the trichomes and this is how i judge when to harvest too. about 2 weeks to go with my crop of calif orange, og kush and mandala #1.

Re: Humidity And Tempratures?!? Hello again" love to burn", temps I told you about. 72* and lower I find is best. I live in the desert and use a swamp cooler and humidity is about 60 in the room. I try to mimic Northern Calif temps and humidity that they run in the fall, after all we do grow...

I have an 8x12 room and use 2 1000w lights. I have 8 girls 2 weeks from harvest. I think 4 plants for 1 1000w is fine. I use the 1000w on veg too. Everyone thinks I have the best around and so do I. In my experience keeping it cool, like 70* is the best and even cooler at night. My buds...

Re: I need help soon ! I don't know why. But if you take some strips of cloth, you can tie them back up with little damage to the plant in most cases. Just tie them up. and good luck

2 of my girls are Mandala #1, A big purple plant, very tall, 8 feet, big purple buds. Anyone have any experience with her?

In my experience cooler is better. Before I got my swamp cooler hooked up my buds were not tight, not much weight. I keep my room around 70 and down to 60 at night when the 1000w are off. A 10* difference is really beneficial. My buds are big and tight now. good luck with your grow.
