My plants do not match up with other Bangi Haze plants. These were two free promotional seeds i received from a seed bank . They seems to be a hybrid as far as i can tell. My question is did this happen to anyone else and do you know what seeds they could be?

High, y鈥檃ll. This is Dark Star from T.H. Seeds. She鈥檚 a broad-leaved Indica 3 weeks into flower. Looking up into my plant I鈥檓 getting 15% light pen or so. Should I be shooting for a certain percentage or perhaps clean out a majority of the inner veg? 2nd year (legal) grower.

So we found out she is actually a he/she. Nice kept my environment pretty spot on. This is a bagged seed so it's most likely genetics. Cut the banana off with the bud. Will be watching her. Any advice? Working on finishing her off because she does smell and look tasty. 馃憣馃い

First hydro. Is there anything I'm forgetting about ppm, maintaining pH from the resevoir, keeping rot from growing (non-issue with hydroguard right?) , etc? I plan on something for light, and change the jar and nutes if needed. Will let the roots breathe at the top.Canna->Lucas.

Just a few weeks from harvest and have some friends telling me to harvest and dry with the roots attached. Can't find any info on this. Anybody have experience with drying the whole plant roots included? Their idea is to wash the soil off the roots then hang them upside.

Defoliation soon after Supercropping
I am thinking of defoliating my Blue Cheese. I supercropped it about a week ago and the growth is powering. I want to do some defoliation but I am unsure if it is necessary, or if it is too soon after supercropping.

Still a relative noob, so please excuse my ignorance. What fertilizer is good for the full cycle (veg, flower, bloom) that is easily available and not outrageously priced? Using a peat/sphagnum mix, virgin soil.... Thanks in advance!

Can someone tell me if the flowers are burned? the ends of the pistils are brown. It may be that the treatment with potassium soap has damaged the pistils? I always apply them in hours without sun. Thank you very much !!

Any suggestions?
These two are recovering from a Broken PH Pen, and stunted by too much recharge(mislabeled for hydro). We've fixed the issues and are back on track, we've finally started to see some stretch again! My question is - should I defoliate more, to encourage branching? Or just wait?
