Hi Stoners, I have two plants that started autoflowering. I'm trying to get info from the SB, but havent as yet. Can anyone tell me what I can do with an autoflowering plant? Is it worth continuing, or should I toss them? Thanks.

hey guys, i just recently put out a bunch of lowryders outdoors in this seedling raising mix, the only bad thing is that it contains the dreaded words- slow release fertiliser on it. will this be a problem for the taste of the buds when i harvest, as at the moment the only potting mix i can access has slow release fertiliser- brunnings premium coco coir or something? the thing is that lowryder is ready in like 9 weeks so im worried that the fertiliser taste might filter into the buds and im not too keen on smoking chemcals...any advice would be greatly appreciated. cheers.

how can one identify a strain grown from bag seed? i have 2 different bags, taken from two different smokes and no idea on what strains they are. how would you go about verifying them and knowing what strain they are? DS

Ok some of you may have been reading my grow diary...however I wanted to re-spark interest in people who may not bother with that topic anymore. So here it is I'm in about my 5-6 weeks of flowering... I'm just wondering what you guys think. How soon should I harverst? Should I start flushing now? Do I really need to flush..I've heard both sides ( If you don't it will taste bad and give you headaches...and conversly that people who say that just do what others tell them and for best potency keep feeding them till the end) anyone with real experence boths ways out there? please. I've posted with this a pic for some other dudes forum about when to harvest...everyone says g…

Hey ppl, need to know will this work. young bagseeds indoor under 24hr, no sign of sex. if i take cuttings of each one get them rooted under 12/12 they should show sex pretty quick yes? Trace each cutting back to donor and that will tell me the sex in advance, so i know what to get rid of even if they haven't shown sex. will that work 100% ? Thanks :thumbsup

Hey all, just a quick Q... I have 1 plant (Purple Haze) that turned hermy, outdoors. It is in third week flowering. I would like to remove some (or as many) of his pollen pods (little male ball things), so that the female parts won't get pollinated too quickly and stop producing resin. So my question, if i was to remove with tweezers the male pods that look almost ready to pop, would that cause the plant too much stress. Or being a hermy, would it frantically try to produce more male parts in order to successfully reproduce? There are a couple that look about ready to burst, so any help would be great, ASAP. :scratchin Thanks.

So, amazingly, Ive gotten to the stage where its time to change the lighting to 12/12.......... When do I change to bloom nut's ? I think I remember reading some where to stay with "grow nut's " for the first week of 12/12. Any thoughts... think I worked pics out here she be................

I'm wondering if I can do away with the clay/verm/perl mix I have in the trays underneath these tubes - the roots can grow straight out of the bottom of the tubes and could sit in a layer of nutes .. instead of growing down into the base tray medium? If I put a 'skirt' around the base of the tubes to stop lite gettin to the roots and changed the nutes in the base tray regularly, would this likely give better growth than the current setup? :scratchin - If that'd work I can just transplant into a tube of clay balls sittining over the tray of nutes. Or would it be better to fill the base tray with clayballs instead of just nutes? I am about to transplant some clonez so…
