How many days are you into vegging? Could be a couple plants sexually matured a little faster than the others.

Fungus gnats or gnats? Had both last month and used fly strips and mosquito dunks (Bacillus thuringiensis or BT) on top of soil (to kill larvae). Apple cider vinegar didn't work. Neither did diatomateous earth or sand on top of soil. Also try live Nematodes.

Fans directed on plants stress plants out too much. I tried that last grow and ended up with hermies. This grow I had plenty of air circulation on my lights, in the room (10x10) plus gentle air on the plants during light hours. This article on gray mold states that over-watering and...

Mold engulfed my NL and Skunk buds a few weeks towards end of flowering. Humidity has been normal. Maybe overwatering or cold overnight temps? A couple nights temp got to 58-60 or so. Plants ruined. Do the mold spores spread very easily throughout the room if you cut the infected buds off?

I just had fungus gnats and gnats (or fruit flies?) and I tried three different things: fly strips, apple cider vinegar, mosquito donuts. The strips caught a lot of gnats, apple cider vinegar didn't do anything and didn't hurt using mosquito donuts in top of soil to kill larvae. I was also...

Ventilate well and too much stress (environment, direct fans on plants, etc.) can cause plant to go hermaphrodite. What water will you use? Do you have pH tester? I read night temps should be 5-10 deg less than day (but not below 60 deg F) to help promote female hormones. Surprised you're...

You might want to check your spelling. You used a four-letter racist word.

But some strains do not turn amber (but stay cloudy)? if so, how can you tell which strains do or don't turn amber? (I'm keeping it simple - I'm only growing indica strains. Not confident to tackle the other strains.) Thanks for feedback.

I can't tell whether my trichomes are clear or milky/cloudy. I should get a better magnifying glass. (Using jewelers x30). They look pretty much like this stock photo. Trichome heads look pretty matured and bulbous and all hairs are brown. (Plant is Skunk #1 and 54 days into flowering.)

Sensi Seed Feminized Skunk #1. Branches are getting heavy. Fan leaves have some yellow and rust spots so decided to flush today. (Went little heavy on nutrients last week.) I found one swollen calyx with triches at 2-3 stem nodes. Never saw that before. Does that indicate anything? I should...

When can you go back to feeding normally after your plant has received too many nutrients? Tips of leaves turned white after I thought I'd try to feed (FF) a little heavier over a few days. Go several days just watering then gradually increase nutrients back to normal dose? Does this process...

Why not distilled water? No minerals or trace elements and pH of 7.0. Why use RO?

Not to get off-topic too much but I made a statement at another very popular cannabis forum (with lots of members) that growing weed was difficult and I got called every name in the book. Growing weed is like trying to master a musical instrument: you have to practice it every day and pay close...

Were the plants under any type of stress from environment, nutrients, etc.?

What do you use for nutrients? These strains have very long flowering periods?

I am using this for my 6th grow. Best soil and soil conditioner (bat guano, bone meal, kelp, earthworm castings, and mycorrhizae) I ever used. (And both contain dolomite lime.) Aerates/drains beautifully. Vegetating went super smooth and went to flowering in 5 weeks. Soil about $25/2.0 cu ft...

The organic soil and soil conditioner (worm castings, bat guano, bone meal, kelp) I used both contained dolomite lime in them and vegetation went very well. And the plants are still doing well: Fan leaves at very bottom turning yellow, all new leaves are dark green and flowering progressing...

I can't get into making my own teas so I guess I can never be an organic grower (?) What should I read to get me started on organic growing? Fastest I've ever grown plants. (Skunk, NL. Blackgold soil and soil conditioner.) Went to 12/12 in 35 days, first flowers 41 days into grow, first triches...

I just assumed all soils contained certain number of microbes in order for growth to take place. Guess I'm not organic. Soil is all organic (Blackgold) but using FF which is partially chemical I guess. Very confused. I guess organic is much more involved.

I don't know what a beneficial is. Guess I'll try to raise pH with solution then if lockout still occurs I'll flush with mild nutrient solution. I read mild nutrient solution is better than just water.
