Oh yeah it’s looking great. How long do you plan to veg it before flipping to flower?

Photoperiod plants will show male or female pre flowers once they reach sexual maturity. For me, that’s usually around 12” tall and has alternating nodes like Hamster Lewis mentioned. Hey @buzzkill can you take a close up picture of the tops? If it’s showing preflowers you should be able to...

You could probably wait a bit more, just look at them daily to see if the amber trichs are multiplying too fast. You do run the risk of it throwing some nanners the later into flower it goes but you could just chop the plant at first sign and still be ok. The buds do look a little thin, are...

Some people freak out about the thought of heavy defoliation but it’s definitely doable. I don’t know about limiting it to just 4-6 colas but I do agree with the general sentiment of cutting off anything that won’t be worth its time and energy wasted on growing and trimming. Are you familiar...

I believe he’s referring to the plant training methods called Topping, Low Stress Training (LST) and Lollipopping. Lots of info on this site and YouTube that go into detail on each technique but the general goal is to stop the plant from growing into its typical Christmas Tree shape with just...

I hear ya, it’s hard to have patients when it gets so close(I’ve chopped early too) but it’s worth it for the added weight they’ll put on.

I’d wait, less than 50 days in flower is too early to chop IMO. Another couple weeks and they’ll put on some good weight and those trichomes will get even more cloudy.

Whew! and here I was thinking this was all real as 100s of thousands of people are in the hospital and 20,000+ have died from COVID-19 in just a matter of weeks but I guess it’s just a figment of all our collective imaginations since Mr. Messiah, aka @robinsontrasport3500 has come to tell us all...

Upgraded the light in the veg tent to the HLG100 v2 by Horticulture Lighting Group. It’s another QB LED like the Spider Farmer but made here in the USA which is always a plus. I was originally going to go with the Spider Farmer SF-1000 but they have raised the price up to $180 this last week so...

Trimmed up the buds after drying for 6.5 days. I’d like to get that number closer to 8 days so I’ll probably put the fan on a timer next time so it’s not running 24/7. Got a total of 4.3oz from the 2 plants. The shorter plant produced some nice dense colas with very few popcorn nugs. The other...

That’s one hell of a grow space, can’t wait to see you fill it out!

Maybe some internal or external heat tape?

I’m not familiar with any kind of pre heater that you could hook up. Sounds like your homes water heater is not big enough to keep up with the demand from the extremely cold water coming in? Are you on a well?

Sounds like his hooks up to the faucet so you do have to be careful about what water temp you push through it. Without the unit hooked up, try turning both hot and cold nobs the exact same amount(quarter turn or half turn each) and then see what the temp is at after it runs for a minute or two...

I got to pick up a pack of seeds from one of the large dispensary’s close by. It’s a cross of Jah Kush, Cindy White and Graper Ape. Haven’t smoked any of these strains before so it’ll be interesting to see how they turn out. Guy at the dispensary didn’t have a clue so no help there. Dropped 5...

Plants got the chop and have been drying in the tent for 5 days now. It’s dry around here so I’ve had problems in the past with them drying out too fast and never getting rid of that hay smell. So this time I left all the leafs on to help lengthen the drying time and it seems to be working as...

Great reads, thanks for the links!

I get the sentiment but for me I’d rather do it the hard while I learn as much as I can about organic growing. I’m still very new to growing but I’m in this for the long haul and organics is how I’m going to grow. I’ve read through a lot of grow journals and have seen a lot of pictures and can...

Awesome info everyone. I don’t need it right away so I’ll amend the soil and let it cook for a while. Will it put off a strong smell while it cooks? It’s still too cold outside at night so I’ll have to keep it inside.

Plants are ready for harvest and I’d like to reuse the soil for one of the next rounds of growing. Is there anything I have to do to it to get it ready or can I just re amend the soil and it’s good to go?
