Can someone be allergic to the smell, rather than the smoke, of pot? Our upstairs neighbour tells me she has respiratory problems, and that they're aggravated by James's (medicinal) pot smoke. I got him a vapourizer for his birthday, so I told her I'd ask him to use that when he's on the...

Hi, all. My understanding of the issue here in Canada isn't that they're banning it, but that the companies can't actually market it as an insecticide until it passes the gazillions of tests required by the government. I just found some at the florist, and you can also get it, labeled as "leaf...

Interesting thoughts - thanks. I don't think it's too much feed, because the bottle says to include it in every watering and we only do every other, and then not quite as much as it says. Plus, this recent damage showed up right after I flushed. I'm very careful about the Ph, and I didn't...

Hi, again. I flushed them until the water ran clear, and I've been really careful about not giving them too much feed or plain water, and I'm really careful about the Ph. I was away for 5 days, and a friend was taking care of them - this is what I came home to (these are all lower to...

Thanks for all the great suggestions - and, Old Leave, it's really helpful that you had the same problem. I'll try flushing and watering less. For how long should I flush, a week, maybe? As for the first two pictures - I tried with a flash in darkness, both on the plant and on the counter , and...

Hello.. Our girls are looking fairly happy, but there's something definitely wrong. James is away, and I really don't want his plants to die before he gets home! *there are pictures attached *we are growing indoors *the watering schedule is as they dry, feed, feed, water, feed, water. We're...

Hi, we're back. Well, Elsie is back - James is away. We did put an in-line duct fan into one of the bottom ports, and it's worked well. If it seems to be getting a bit warm we just use a normal household fan to blow a bit more cool air at the outside of the port. The ladies are flourishing...

happy`s all we want! thanks again

Hey, HHH. We`ve been reading up on SCROG. We knew about training the plants horizontally to produce more bud, but we hadn`t heard or thought of using netting. Thanks very much for suggesting it!

Thanks, KG. We're doing something similar, and it's working for now - we'd just like to be able to keep the tent closed. I'm glad you've found a solution - just don't grow any catnip! mr2shim: we hear your frustration, and agree that fans just push air around. In our case (and, it sounds...

thanks for all this great advice! We have the light damped down 50%, so it's more like 300w than 600, and we've opened the flap at the bottom and are blowing air in. It seemes to be working, although we'd prefer to have everything zipped up tight when the lights are on. That's why we're going...

Hi, Kryptoniteglo. We're having the same problem, and if you look at the thread we started yesterday, more cooling problems , you'll see a number of suggestions. It's kind of looking as if we're going to need to get a cooled light, but before we take that step we're going to try an in-line...

Hi. I've attached some pictures showing the inside and outwide of the tent. The one I've inserted below wouldn't attach because of it's size. It's actually on it's side and needs to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise (the white part is the ceiling and the pink is the wall). We pass the air...

don't think we haven't thought of that:-P!

Yay! We're not alone in this one! I'd read about the portable a/c somewhere else, and it sounds as if it's worked well for some people. Our problem with them is space and expense, but we're planning a day trip to the States this week, so maybe we'll be able to find something. We're kind of...
