"Hey Jumbo it's nephew actually. From Wikipedia "Trucks was born June 8, 1979, in Jacksonville, Florida. His uncle, Butch, is a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band."" Ooops! Sorry, I was told he was Butch's son but I never checked on the veracity of that info. Anyway, he's in the family.

Yeah, there is an Allman brothers connection there. Guitarist Derek Trucks is the son of the Allman Brothers' long-time drummer, Butch Trucks. Very astute of you!

Two AMAZING guitar players that don't get much attention are Derek Trucks (blues slide) & Steve Morse formerly from Dixie Dregs & (oddly enough) Kansas. Steve's work with the Dregs & his later solo records are just terrific. These are not just flashy fast players ... for lead parts both of...

I've been growing Arjan's Haze#3 for a few years now & it is very consistent without major phenotype diversity. It stays short & bushy for being mostly sativa & doesn't smell much at all while growing. Very respectable harvest. It has a GREAT high - thoughtful, warm, euphoric, mildly social...

Hey Cobnobuler ... I do a very similar thing with (20) 30-watt CFL's in my closet grow - all hanging by individual power cables. For hanging I use the paper binder clips like you plus a bunch of small (1.5") spring clamps. Each light can be individually raised & lowered - as well as moved to...

I keep reading about growers trimming fan leaves on flowering plants & tucking upper fan leaves under your bud sites. The "wisdom" in this, as I understand it, is to get more direct light to the actual buds & bud leaves so that these buds will grow larger & firm up better. Is there any...

Man! That is soooo true!

Hi, Serapis stated: "8 days in my new EZC 30 and it looks like possible bacteria issues on the stems.... I even wiped fiskars with rubbing alcohol, used new gel, new inserts ..." "joe macclennan" is probably right. OK, so why not try adding 1TBS. of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon to your...

Hi, Take a look at DNA Genetic's Chocolope. It is a ten to eleven week flowering, 95% sativa strain that will respond well to topping, super-cropping & LST. It will grow somewhat big & tall but can be easily managed. The high is amazingly "up" & warm & euphoric - mostly in the head (some...

Thank you for the information folks & for taking a stab at this issue. BagSeedBoy, the lighting consists of (10) 30-watt CFL's per plant, most as close as 2-3" to the canopy & the individual buds are very tight ... so the lights are probably not causing this phenomenon. Good thought though...

Hi all, I've been growing successfully for a few years (mostly sativa-dominant strains in Hempy buckets), and I have a question about a phenomenon I've often noticed during late flowering. Often when my girls get to around 8 to 9 weeks flowering out of a 10 to 12 week expected flowering...

I tried this approach to autowatering a pair of 5-gallon hempy buckets two years ago when we were out of town for ten days. My hempy buckets have a 1/2" hole set at 2" from the bottom just like most people's. However, I siliconed 1/2" plastic pipes through the overflow holes & then ran these...

Those buds in the bowl were from three Arjan's Haze #3 four-gallon hempy pots with one plant per pot. The total Haze crop of buds for those three plants was 6.3 oz. dry. That was over a year ago & since gaining more experience & dialing in the supercropping, bending, nutes, etc ... I'm now...

Hi, how high did it grow Jumbo? Not much taller than most indicas (that's pretty good for a sativa). I had multiple grows of this strain & supercropped, & trained & bent stems each time so I didn't actually put a tape measure on them. On average though, after 6 weeks of both seedling growth...
