General Cultivation Q&A

Has anyone got magnified pics of a female plant? I have seen a male with the small ball on the stick type of thing.. my plants have been growing for four weeks now, ,on their fifth week, under fluoros still though, so tiny.. but the largest one has two TINY TINY i can barely see them, two little growths from the stem.. Im DYING to find out if I can get some females, as I really love this smoke, but it was bagseed and I dunno what it is.. but anyway, I saw a microscopic pic of amale, just wanted to know if anyone had any of a female.. also, there are two, what seems to be small pistils, but.. they are green so they might just be the top of the female bud where the pistils …

Hi there, I have read somewhere that a dark period at the end of flowering for about 48hrs, just prior to harvest, increases the potency/quality of the final product. Anyone out there know of any truth to this. I am about to chop the last remaining plant in my first grow & am wondering if I should bother? I also read somewhere about harvesting early in the morning( in terms of light cycle) as there is supposedly more THC in the buds. Any ideas guys??

Is there anyone out there who has tried perlite as a medium then coco as a medium and what did you think of them? Thinking of changing and would like your opinions Thanks for thoughts and advice in advance

i have 2 mother plants in 50/50 perlite and potting mix,they are about 7 weeks.recently (2wks ago)cut it back and cut 25% off roots and repotted. Mum 1 leaf tips curling up,giving it plain water 2 times per wk without nutes as potting mix was added after cutting.is it something i'm doing or not doing thats causing the leaf curl. Mum 2 a very dusty speckled look to the leaves and getting worse.What do i need to do to get them back on track ?this is my first attemptat keeping a mum so any advice would be apprecited.thanks all.HR

hy! can anybody help me chooseing some seeds. i'd like some variety that is very good yielder. which is or are these? (indoor)

yesterday i opened my cupboard to find that my plant was starting to lean and sag a little bit, and this morning when i looked at it, it was completely fallen over, the stem had not broken, it was as if it had fallen asleep, just lying down. The plant seems to be fine, doesnt look sick, just cant keep itself up. Its under fluros, i use osmocote, its about a month or so into flowering, i gave it a nice watering yesterday. Any ideas? P.S. i had this problem before, only alot milder, just a slight sag, which i fixed with a stake and a shoelace, i could fix this with a stake, but im worried about damaging the roots by plunging stakes into the pot. and i would also need a go…
