Tits on a bull said: Correct. It will kill any spores or prevent their growth if they are present on plant when you switch to flower. Personally I don't grow for penis envy. I'm a topper. Keep on plucking!
But there's extremely low chance that a plant would mold before switching to flowering, so what's the point? You may kill/inhibit any spores up to that moment, but then you still have 8 weeks for new spores to settle into the growing colas and create contamination. Pretty sure the spores landing on the cola are not going to be affected by the coconut oil that was sprayed on fan leaves two feet lower and weeks earlier.

Humble Newcomer said: Uhhhh probably not, what's VPD lol
Edit - vapor pressure deficit, no I'd never heard of this metric I'm reading up on it now, it opened another door in understanding the plant science, basically the differential between the inside of a healthy leaf ehich should be vapor saturated and the outside grow room, and taking grow room temp and leaf temp into account with with it.
" Leaf temp should not be equal to or higher temp than the grow room air, a 3-5 degree cooler leaf temp is normal, if your leaves are same temp or higher than your lights are too close" - that's a gem I'm surprised I never read before
I know next to nothing about indoor, but I know the Jungle Boys say, "live by the vpd die by the vpd", and they srem to know what they're doing.
So yea, definitely worth looking into. If you like nerding out on that kind of stuff check out the Cannabis Cultivation and Science Podcast. I just listened to an episode that discussed VPD, botrytis and PM, and how lighting relates to all of it.

Can you link the episode? I agree VPD is probably the most important factor 2nd to the light intensity.

Close up of Gelato

Here they are from another view. I guess they need phosphorus. I gave them some yesterday.

Here are a few Autos. The big ones are about 5 weeks old!

I recently received a new plant from a friend who is moving away. I don't know anything about the plant but something looks terribly wrong with it.
My guess is maybe this is a calcium deficiency? Can someone tell me what could be the problem? It came to me this way and smells too good to let die.

Found within 30sec of searching for "autoflower lab results", 23.6% cannabinoids & 20% THC, from a Critical Kush Auto (from a forum user here):

You really quite underestimate the power of breeding. No one is putting out straight ruderalis... With good breeding you can keep the genes that produce high thc while also introducing the autoflower traits, just like you can do with basically any trait you want (color, terps, shape of the leaves or even mutation like ducksfoot for example). And it's just the beginning for autoflowers, and the critical kush auto by dinafem has been out for years. I wouldn't be surprised to see 30% thc from autos in a few years.
That's how we got to this point of high quality even with photoperiods, good mendelian breeding.

More PICS! Tell me if I'm posting too many pics in this mutha
Gelatos. Photoperiod. I assume they are turning purple from lack or lockout of phosphorus.
Northern Lights. Auto about 6 weeks old

Not a good pic, I was trying to keep my tortoise from crushing it while I snapped the pic You can see a bit of his shell. My 4" Wet Dream that is flowering. Photo

Another NL on the left. Afghan Mass on Right. Both auto 5 to 6 weeks old

Feel free to give constructive criticism or bash my growing methods and plant genetics.

I know its cannabis growers but technically how long should these buds last? Stored vacuum sealed in a cool dark dresser drawer. Im an infrequent toker.

If you open it to use, that number/time period dwindles corretatively to how much air you expose it to. Now and again opening and resealing should still result in a quality shelf life of 2 years. Closer to 5 if you never expose it to air/light.
2 years? So7nds good to me. Thanks ashfiken.

Nice growth structure on that NL Auto in the yellow bucket.

pur3bind said: What's your peoples opinion on "You should pick off the crystallized buds right when they start to crystallize- each at individual seperate times it's meant to, rather than picking the whole stocks out and letting them dry"
I kinda get what he's trying to get at as far as harvesting individual buds/colas at different times, rather than the entire plant at once....
...but following the advice of, "You should pick the buds right when they start to crystallize" doesn't really make sense.
Some strains will get "crystallized" buds rather quickly. Some of my plants started to get "crystallized" within a few days after they started to form buds, and now they're pretty damn frosted but they are certainly not ready to be picked....Buds that have trichomes on them does not mean they're ready to harvest, there's usually still a long way to go after the buds have started to produce trichomes.
Keeping an eye on the ratio of clear/milky/amber trichomes and the color of pistils is a reference for knowing when to harvest.

Yeah, I really like the way this Northern Lights grows. Even with my "hot" soil they still grow fast. I got impatient and planted them in my soil that wasn't cooked all the way. I think PH is like 7.8. Sometimes I water with vinegar water in hopes of cooling off the PH.
I've always wanted to try Northern Lights strain. It was the first named weed I ever heard of, but it never came around. The NL bud doesn't have much of a smell, maybe it will in the future. I can smell my Gelatos from across the yard. The Afghan Mass has a good smell, but still not really strong. The Northern Lights and the Afghan Mass genetics are from 00seeds.

That's how it's getting around my yard & plants now too.
My Slymer and South Fork Kush have been pretty aromatic for a while if up near the plants, and if I barely touch a bud it's a loud burst of smell, but they haven't started to stank up the yard until this past week (the heat is likely playing in role in that too)....Over the past few days now, when ever I open the backdoor I pretty much instantly smell them and I constantly get whiffs of em' around the yard.
The essence of my Slymer is a very strong creamy-lime smell, a lime-citrus sherbet kinda thing.
The South Fork has a sharp/clean lemon-fuel thing going on, lemony & skunky & gassy.
The Tangieland just started to get some aroma over this past week...The first smells I noticed when it first started to get some going on were peppery (like black pepper), and it still has a bit of that peppery smell at first/up front but it's starting to take on more of a sweet-berry-citrus-woodsy character.
My Frosted Cherry Cookies is the farthest behind....It still doesn't really have too much of a distinct/pronounced aroma, I expect that to change within the next 48 hours lol.

How does this look as far as males go?


And here's the female.

They're from some Blue Lotus seed, probably pollinated by Romulan.

Some large Sativa dominant plants. (My uncle in the pic, not me)
The weather this year has been terrible in Massachusetts, so much rain I'll be lucky if they don't get mold before harvest time.

More Pics...
Can't wait to smoke this stuff! Hopefully I can dry/cure it properly. I might by a humidifier just for that because it's sort of dry where I live.
