    sterilizing soil

    get some diatomaceous earth and mix in 2 cups per cubic foot into your soil thoroughly, transplant the plants, then lightly sprinkle more diatomaceous earth all over the surface of the soil in the pot. Those gnats will be toast. It is organic, and it won;t kill off your beneficial microbes like...

    Leaves growing from root shoot!

    not strange, i think when you cut the clone and cleaned off the leaves that were at that node, you neglected to trim the shoot, what you are seeing is the shoot growing in the absence of light so thats why they are light colored and not green.

    Can I sow an autoflowering cannabis plant directly outside?

    as someone above pointed out autos dont like to be transplanted. If you are going to grow them outside in the ground, just start them in the ground. hardening off is when you expose the plant to sunlight for the 1st time, you only let it get an hour or so of sun, then move it into the shade, the...

    28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my...

    Confused about grow room temperature

    top of plant take a reading, you want it to be 75-80 F for best results. and your thermometer uses alcohol dyed red, not "red mercury" which i don't think exists. mercury is a silvery color, and is very poisonous to humans, so they no longer sell mercury thermometers to the general public in...

    hanging heavy lights using anchors?

    i wouldn't trust ceiling panels to hold the weight of a hood, what you can do is find your stud in the wall, in or near the center of the room and run a 2x4 from wall to wall at ceiling level, tying into the wall studs with nails or screws, then hang your light to that with a big screw in hook...

    inprove my soil

    the perlite won't hurt the mix, it will improve drainage. may want to mix in several liters of compost with it, or earthworm castings.

    this cant be happening

    well i had this happen to me once, and the culprit was a mouse. he even went so far as to dig up the seeds i planted to replace the seedlings he destroyed. caught him and havent had a problem since. get you a victor trap and bait it with peanut butter at the base of the trigger.

    Growing In 4 Inch Pots ??? yellowing problems always

    if i were you i would have a look at the party cup competition journals for tips on growing in small containers. My advice is to water it when needed, but don't let them get so dry they start drooping. Learn to feel the weight of the container and judge when it is dry and when it still has water...

    Plant drinking water faster than I can keep up with

    i would re pot it if it is in a manageable sized pot such as 5 gallon pot. i have re potted many plants and the more you do it the better you get at it. If done carefully the plant won't even notice. if the pot is too big to manage without disrupting the root ball too severely i would follow...

    Play along...You are stuck on a desert island and can only grow two strains....ever.

    i think Africa is the birthplace of the sativa, with Jamaican sativas having their origins in Africa, going to Jamaica with the slaves. The Thai sativas are reputed to be the highest in THC as far as i know...

    Play along...You are stuck on a desert island and can only grow two strains....ever.

    i would take with me an indica and a sativa. with these i can create many hybrids such as 50/50, 75/25, etc. and also the original genetics. I would probably choose a Thai or African sativa and an indica from the Kush mountain region.
