Using Foxfarm. They aren't organic nutrients? They are made entirely from organic sources. When you say "chemical nutrients" do you mean synthetic (man-made, inorganic)? (I think the (organic) Advanced Nutrient line is buffered so pH is not needed.)

Does flushing with a retail solution remove and/or kill microbes in soil? I may need to flush due to nutrient lockout and get my soil back to 6.5-6.8. (Currently at 6.1 and adding dolomite lime over last week is not working that well and Ca solidifies in the soil when it dries which decreases...

What color are you other leaves? Light, medium and/or dark green? How about older compared to newer leaves? I had some rust spots at beginning of flowering (skunk, NL) and added some dolomite lime, Mg, N. I had some very light green leaves and now my newer leaves are coming in dark green so I...

I grew Acapulco Gold, Hawaiian Snow (among others) from Attitude and they grew tall and were a pain. The yield after long flowering produced no high.

Stick to Indicas (NL, Skunk). They are the easiest to grow indoors. I'm growing two right now with Blackgold soil (excellent stuff) and went to 12/12 after 35 days, first flowers appeared at 41 days, trichomes appeared at 59 days. Fastest I've ever grown plants.

I don't know. It was a mixed seed bag from 420 Seeds. First week of flowering and 6th week overall. Fastest I've ever grown plants. Also have a skunk and NL/skunk females (Feminized from Attitude). All about 24" high. Using Black Gold soil mix and soil conditioner. Very nice soil. I guess I'll...

Never grown males before. I assume these are male pre-flowers?

Yes, I think that's it. What do I do to get rid of them? I think they might have come in the bag of soil. It ate a couple of my seedlings pretty fast. Edit: Also called "woodlouse". I researched and found two ways of getting rid of them: "diatomaceous earth" and "buy the cheapest beer possible...

No, they are shorter with many legs, medium grey, very quick, size of an ant.

I have a few small bugs (light grey, fast, shaped like rice grain) in soil of 10 day old plants. From what I've read they might be mealy bugs. I think they killed two seedlings that I germinated. And I think they rise to top of soil when water is added. (Using Blackgold potting soil: sphagnum...

Absolutely. Throw them in an oven at 200 deg for 30-45 minutes or set them on top of your HPS hood for a few hrs. Gives you a quick idea of where flowering is at.

I've never had triches turn amber after 5 grows (and long flowering). I'm baffled. I do know that they turn hermie if you go too long. I'm going back to step one with just indicas for now.

Does peat or spaghnum contain (or break down into) any good microbes or provide supplemental nutrients?

I thought I read that you should avoid these because they hold too much water or something. Then I saw them listed in several soil mix recipes. Which is correct? And are these found in some (or all) commercial composts?

Sorry, I'm still not sure what you mean by "too much" (referring to the over-sized buds)? (I don't what all the LOLs are for. Clue me in - I'm not a mind reader. I wish people were a little more articulate on this board. Not you HempGod, you're always informative). ie. This semblance of a...

By germinated you mean pollinated? During veg the Kush looked like a female (and was a feminized seed). I noticed buds ballooning after I used Beastiez Bloom (4 wks into flowering). I'd never use that stuff again - might increase bud surface area but amount of triches is not significantly...

Thanks HomieHogleg and ShecallshimThor. I don't have air-cooled hoods. I made the hoods myself from aluminum sheet metal. (I'll have to cut some slots in the hoods to get rid of some heat via convection.) I've never heard much talk of T5 or CFL. Everything I've ever read on vegetation is MH! MH...

I can't follow. I mean I don't the know all of the specifics of growing and no one's giving me specifics except for node spacing. (I haven't found super detailed grow tutorials on the net that go into that type of thing. Most tutorials are all the same general stuff.) You're saying the spacing...

Triches never changed color (no amber, etc.). Different strains (Hawaiian Snow, Acapulco Gold, etc.) in organic soil and waited more than 15-16 weeks (of flowering). Used HPS 2x250 on 3 plants, only produced body high, no head high. Used foxfarm on final 2 months, commercial nutes on previous...

Very nice. What was the yellowing (which you cut) due to? Light burn or nutrients? (I'm having lots of yellow of fan leaves with my AK after 8 wks (think HPS burned them) and buds/triches are at a standstill - not sucking up much water. I hope it finishes well.) How long was flowering?
