    Breeding questions.. autoflower or hermie..

    A while back, I had a Citral plant that got seeded. It may have been exposed to Auto White Russian pollen.. there was a full-on breeder male in another room. So.. either it went hermie or it was seeded via AWR. To the questions.. 1. Is the auto trait dominant? If so, I can just pop 20...

    White Widow @ nearly 8 weeks, over-fert?

    No pics just now, but I've got a general question anyways. My Greenhous WW clones are at 7 weeks and look crispy as all hell. I've got fairly small pots, SoG, lollipopped, 600W HPS. I've used FoxFarm nutes with Advanced solubles (BigBud and Overdrive) for the whole duration. I've looked on...

    T8 grow?

    I have an idea for a grow space, but it's short and long.. perfect for a fluoro SoG. I don't want to bite the bullet and buy T5HO w/ 3K bulbs, as it's a bit pricy, so I'm wondering if anyone out there has done a T8 grow on the cheap and how that went. Before you start hating on this idea, just...

    ElephantRider's Bonsai Shots

    Since my first grow journal is coming to a close with the impending harvest of my first baby, I decided to start a new journal of just bonsai shots. It will not be heavily updated at all, but if I get a nice picture or see something nice in the garden to share, I will. :) Peace!

    Please help.. badly hurt citral.

    OK.. I checked the normal issues sticky here and I'm thinking this is a P overload, but was looking to see if anyone could confirm or deny. I know the pot is small. Re-pot is not a possibility for me. Bonsai only. I've got several successful plants. Running into noob problems happens no...

    breeding ruderalis question

    I'm thinking that I'll have to breed ruderalis strains to sustain grows. SO.. since I'm indoors, if I let all of my plants grow and pollinate to harvest the seeds, Will I have pollination problems with my next crop in there? Do I just need to spray out? I'm thinking of a Growlab60 / 250W...

    PC Grower's Sub-Thread Under Indoors

    There are a lot of us, now. Since this form of growing is highly specialized, it would be nice to see it segregated.

    pollination question..

    So.. to make sustainable ruderalis, a person MUST seed. As I understand it, re-veg is not an option due to needing to harvest early / leaving too much bud, etc. and cloning is impossible. That being said, I'm wondering.. if I just up a full batch of a ruderalis in a grow tent and leave the...

    Minor PH adjustment help..

    Hey.. I just tested my water w/ a ph tester and it said my ph was a tick over 7. 1. Should I even give a crap, since it's not that far off from 6-6.5? For whatever it's worth, my baby plants look healthy. MG Organic, if soil makes a difference. 2. If I should, what's the easiest way to make...

    n00b lighting question

    I'm a PC case grower and my seedlings look decent and healthy. Just wondering if there's a huge difference if I'm at 18/6 or 24/0. Right now, I'm 24/0. Will this stress my babies and cause them to grow slower or will they not notice and just grow like mad? Thanks, in advance.

    NEWB Seed Sprouting Help Needed..

    I've successfully grown 2 males in my lifetime from bagseed and have finally started the undertaking of growing in a pc case under cfl with decent, smaller Indica genetics - Top44 and Citral. Of course, I'm anxious as hell for my seeds to break soil, but it seems like it's taking a bit. I live...
