    A cautionary tale. Don't make the same mistake.

    Thanks for the support nowstopwhining. As you can imagine, I'm feeling like shit right now. When I think of all the love and care I put into those plants, and they were looking so good - real good, big and bushy, green and healthy with dozens of bud sites. Oh well, its a learning experience I...

    A cautionary tale. Don't make the same mistake.

    Well this is a sad story but I decided to share it so you don't make the same mistakes I did. My first grow. Living in Spain and growing 4 plants (feminsed seeds from Greenhouse Seed Company). Wanted to utilise the good strong Spanish sun, so the plants spend their day next to open balcony...

    Topping - trying to sort the facts from the fluff

    I want to top my plants and would appreciate any advice. I did a lot of reading on rollitup and have to say that there is a lot of contradictory stuff written. In particular I'd like to know: • when to top • is topping really worth it? some people say that topping doesn't really increase...
