So, from what I can gather...one would NOT get caught and busted from simple heat detection alone. The grow would have to be way more obvious--while that is enlightening to know it didn't really answer my other question concerning the levels of heat when comparing light sources. To put it...

Hey guys. A quick security question: We've all heard of crackpot reasons why growing is dangerous, but there's one in particular I want to ask about in case anyone has any particularly enlightening information on it and the title says it all: HEAT DETECTION SYSTEMS?? Word from some paranoid...

He's my roommate, but he gets paranoia like fuck apparently. He's a bro and tried to help me be careful. All good.~

Aight good. I was planning on getting a nice HPS setup online, but I decided to end up going with making my own CFL setup from scratch. I can get everything so much cheaper and better organized. Dat Home Depot, man. Haha. Thanks for the advice~

It sounded pretty odd to me and just generally sketched me out. I thought I'd get some more experienced opinions here though. Didn't have any trouble buying seeds from Nirvana in 2011 though, so I don't see how it would be an issue buying lights. Thing is, I'm buying lights and seeds at the same...

Hey guys, fairly new member here so I hope this is in the right section. Anyway, I've heard from a friend who is more knowledgeable about sorts of things concerning the law that: "When you buy a growlight online your 'name goes on a list.'" I'm very skeptical that this is true, but...

That sounds very similar to what I was planning on. I always see pics where people's soil is packed to the brim with perlite and, from experience, I can see why. MJ is very easy to suffocate when it's overwatered. I was planning on like a 1:3 ratio of Potting Mix to Perlite in my upcoming grow...

Umm, ok. I've heard from many people, not just in this thread, that Fox Farm soils (composts) are excellent for growing. I'm sorry to hear about your dilemma, but I'm sure that they're soils are usually sterile... Parasites and Bugs can be seriously difficult problems and it sounds like you had...

Thanks for all the input so far, guys, but I completely forgot to mention that I'm planning on starting them in those expanable Jiffy Peat Pellets. I've used them before for tomatoes, sunflowers, and skullcap and they work great. Almost 100% germination.

Hey guys. I've got an order of Nirvana Short Rider Feminized seeds coming in soon from Amsterdam. Now, what I'm planning to do is go to a local Home Depot or Lowes and buy the most expensive, high grade potting soil (Miracle Gro, Jungle Growth, etc.) and mix it in with some extra Perlite to...

This evening, I placed an order for 5 Feminized Short Rider Seeds from The Nirvana Seed Shop. It was a highly recommended seed bank, and a very small order. It is worth mentioning that I live in a place where Cultivation of Cannabis (even for personal use) is..shall we say....Frowned Upon...

I think my baby may be dying... The leaves have developed a yellowish color and the burned spots are growing.. The leaves were droopy all day, and earlier this evening, I noted that the base of the stem has become brown and shriveled looking, as if somebody has pinched the base of the...

New Development: My child is now getting full daytime sunlight and seems to be doing well after its transplant. A new pair of leaves is forming, but it's still growing too slowly. I now know for a FACT that I have been overwatering my seedling for most of its life, but now I feel like it's...

I know right....and yes, it sucks hard :/ I remember when the leaves looked much healthier. Guess I've progressively become more lenient with watering. I have a good feeling about the new pot though and the soil ^^ We'll be vegetative in no time (hopefully). One more thing... I started this...

New Development: Bad/Good news, my dad found my seedling in my closet today. But he was totally cool with it and let me grow it outside from now on. ^^ This is great, because I had a terrible time caring for it and keeping it a secret. Sunlight is faaaaaar superior to my trashy CFL and...
