    Lowryder?

    its a little early to plant, you can plant anytime after the last frost. Ive seen the strain, it has drawbacks. You can't clone it so producing a lot of them would be expensive. If you live in a populated area its not a good idea to grow outdoors. If you parents find it, they might flip out or...

    When to phase out nutrients

    You need to flush your plant. You want the plant to use up everything its has, including in its leaves. It's recommended weeks ahead of expected harvest. I personally do it around a month, slowly reducing nutes until i just feed water for the last two weeks. It shouldnt stress or shock your...

    Stems turning purple

    some strains have naturally occuring colors. I have some papaya right now that are starting to get some pink color. Extremely healthy. I think maybe you are looking too deep into this one. I've also heard that cold makes them change color, but I've had plants roasting in 90 degree temps before...

    can a 400 watt hps be good for the whole grow?

    I have a 400 watt HPS. I have posted a FAQ on beginners questions including a section on light. 400watt can grow as much as 16 plants as I have calculated depending on the size of the plant when flowering. And for another prospective I have also veged with a 400watt MH with two 2.5' soil plants...

    Bugs in soil

    First things first, "fire pit" soil probably isnt the best soil to use in growing marijuana. You can buy a bag of processed soil (no bugs and unwantables) for like 5$ at Lowes. Since they are crawlers you might not be able to stop them, especially if they live under the soil. I wouldnt recommend...

    Watch out for hermies

    I had a plant entering its 5th week of flowering when i noticed small male flowers INSIDE of the massive female buds. This is the worse case I have seen and it cost me a few seeds in the neighboring plant. Make sure that you check your buds. Males flowers do not have to be all together and...

    Veg plants smelling?

    All strains have different smells and potencies. Just because it smells doesnt mean it will be potent or a female. Some buds can produce extremely fragrant buds that are mild. There is no way to tell a female from a male based on smell, you are going to have to wait until it sexually matures...

    Germination Question

    I usually just drop them into a moist peat pellet, you can also use roc wool. I have used the paper towel method before but i dont think its quite as good as seeding directly into what you will be using for growing.

    "thin" seedlings

    Air movement will shake your plants, this will strengthen them. I had the same problem with one of mine but in a hydroponic setup. I used twist ties and a dow rod to help prop up the plant. I have found that when the stems are weak its usually because of too much moisture however if your lights...

    Problem with a sprout

    Just like a baby human is fragile so are seedlings. It could be anything from your seed shell being stuck to your first leaves to under developed roots. Some manufactured soils contain fertillizers with the soil mixture already, it could be that. If you used poor soil it could be that. Watch it...

    yellow spots

    Could be lack of nutes since your plant is eating them up like mad to make your buds. Could be splash up from nute water. Im in the 3rd week flower of mine as well, not skywalker tho. Noticed some of the lower leaves arent looking as good as the top leaves. Think it might be because of lack of...

Need to know how much water your are diluting your mixture with. I use botanicare pure blend pro grow with a 3-1.5-4. Starting with seedling i...
