I am 49 days into this grow in my garage. 21/3 light cycle. The tent is running in the mid 70Fs with 50-60% rH with lights on. Lights off and the temp goes into the low 70s high 60s with a humidity in the 80s. I have 4 fans moving air inside the tent constantly. Do I run a risk of mold/mildew if I continue with lights off numbers like this for just 3 hours? Would running the light 24/0 at this point cause the plants to hermie or other issues?
heres tutorial on how to make some BUBBLE HASH THE TRICHOME FARMER WAY HERES WHAT YOU NEED bubble bags a 2 bag set will work with 220micron work bag and a 25micron bottom bag to catch the resin the more bags you have the more refined the final product will be next up. a mixing spoon anything that is good and rigid will work just fine a 25micron pressing screen not essential but very handy to have most bubble bag sets come with one if not the internet will provide also a couple of towels or paper towels to wick some moisture from the hash before freezing make sure your bags are in the right order largest micron size at the top so in my case this goes 220 . 160. 75 and 25 you will need a 25l bucket to fit the bags into iv mine...
Terpene1 - any of a large group of volatile unsaturated hydrocarbons found in the essential oils of plants, including cannabis (with over 120 terpenes) which play a large part in the aromas and flavours of plants. Cannabinoids are a class of terpenophenolic (part terpenoid, part phenol) compounds. While terpenes are hydrocarbon groups created by various combinations of the isoprene units that make them up, and may be aromatic, all phenols are aromatic hydrocarbons, which means they have a very pronounced aroma. Terpenoids are compounds related to terpenes but may also include oxygen or have molecules rearranged; the terms are often used interchangeably. Cannabinoids, being half terpene and half phenol, have very pronounced aromas and...
Cannabis: Forms and Types (Beginner-Advanced) These days there are a lot of different types of cannabis plants available...between standard photoperiod strains, light sensitive photoperiod strains, fast version photoperiod, semi-autos, and standard autoflowering plants, whew! As well as the 3 standard types of cannabis, indica, sativa, and ruderalis, also a mix of the three which are classified as hybrids. What does this all mean? Lets first delve into the 3 main types of Cannabis. All photoperiod and autoflowers are either Indica, Sativa, Ruderalis(autoflower), or a combination of any of the 3 in a hybrid. The 3 types have very different characteristics. Indica - These are the base strains for heavy narcotic stones. These strains...
Just listened to a Growcast episode from 7/18. The guest mentioned that there is a study showing that an effective criteria for determining whether to defoliate a particular leaf is 200mmol/m2/s. This is because below this level it takes more energy to maintain that leaf than the leaf provides back to the plant. Just wondering if anyone has seen this study and where I could score a read - sounds like a very interesting idea. Thanks in advance. :pass:
My girls have responded well. I left the ponytails on during lights on and took them off during lights out. 18/6 I did 2 sessions. I just bumped up the light to 75% power at 24" also. I tried upping it 4 days ago and they didn't like it. Now they seem to. They are 25 days old. Ethos Pluto Cut and 420Fastbud CBD. I love growing.
Eveing all. New to the site. Spent the last few hours going through here. Great site, learnt so much already. I have been growing autos now for a number of years. Outdoor grows, in pots. I grow 4 plants a year, two cbds, and two low thcs, nothing above 13% level. I tried photos, with very poor success, due to climate and rot, also the time it took them wasn't practical for me. I had a successful year this year. I have been doing a bit of reading up in ruderails, regular, and am very interested in them. I bought a pack of seeds of sensi seeds. My question to members who know more than me, is, can I breed these with feminized autos to produce some of my own seeds. Or would I be better off, using a regular auto strain.
You don't need an auto pot to use an airdome. Just use a fabric smart pot, hydro pebbles, and coco. I'm doing a control now with 4 plants that have 4 air domes and the rest of the plants do not, its around 8 plants without that are the same age. The 4 with the air domes are out growing the other plants by about 35%. They're taller, bigger and more leaves, and growing a lot faster. I have 3 of them tied down and its putting on limbs like crazy. I think this is a big enough grow for a control group to compare. Your opinion may be different, but they are getting 15 liters of air an hour 24/7 and its night and day difference. THey're cheap, easy to set up and zero maintenance ..You really should try a couple..You place the airdome in the...
baged this from someplace else it was posted by Mutt a long time ago great info though. What reflective materials can I use for my grow room? Choosing the right surface for the walls of your grow room is very important, as up to 40% of your total yield comes from the edge, and the right wall surface can increase the amount of light those plants receive by up to 30%! Artificial lighting diminishes exponentially with distance, so it is important to ‘contain’ as much of this light as possible, and direct it accordingly. Reflective surfaces also help illuminate the lower portions of the garden, providing lower buds with light and heat energy. To get the best results with your light and walls, it is important to get the walls as close as...
What's up AFN? I was inspired by @Son of Hobbes' "Operation Compassion Care" thread, to post a tutorial, "Dollar Tree Meets Wally World: Grow Meds On The Cheap". I've been thinking of what the next step is for a new grower after they complete their first grow . For most new growers, the answer is to buy new seeds, which can be very costly. Cloning is a priceless skill to acquire. It may seem to be a very technical application of growing, and maybe it is, but it doesn't have to be an intimidating process. I am going to put up a "bare bones" tutorial on how to do it on the easy, and on the cheap. I am going to do it as one consecutive post, so let's get stared! :thumbsup: Tools Needed Alcohol Scissors/Shears Box Cutter/Blade Permanent...
Hi guys,I managed ti harvest 2 big plants in my First Coco attempt.It was spring and my tap water was 0.4-45 EC maximum.Now,I am having a Little different experience now in Summer,EC Is 0.5-6 maximum and the water report of my city changed a bit.I take my chance and tag @Mañ'O'Green Who has helped me before to read those values.Please Just let me know if this tag has bothered or Is not polite.I thank all of you guys in Advance. I dilute It to 0.4 EC with distilled and then put half recommended dosage of Coco A+B.I then pH to 5.8 but It takes a lot of pH down (nitric acido from Canna at 3%) What do you think?
Topping an autoflower is a choice. If you have the room and height to let her grow then the choice is yours. If, like me you have vertical restrictions then you might want to consider topping. There are many threads in AFN about topping (@autobeast is one of them) but I just thought a quick demonstration with the results after a week would give first timers the confidence to give it a go. When ever and where ever you top the plant will give you different results. Each set of large leaves off the main stem will produce a side branch that will turn into a small cola, this is called the node. The more light this cola gets, the bigger it gets but never usually as big as the main central cola. If you top the plant, the main cola is removed...
Hello group my name is Nez, I am paralyzed from my shoulders down and wanted to grow CBD. So he chose Harle tsu, I was surprised to find out the seeds I purchased auto flower and started to see budding add around three or four weeks. I have no idea what to do so I just let it grow! Now it is going on nine weeks and the flowers are pretty big. I don't want to overgrowth them so this is where I need your help, please look at the pictures I am posting and let me know your thoughts. Thank you!
