I have adjacent veg and flowering rooms that run both lights off a single duct. The duct runs from outside, though a 250W cool tube, then through the wall to the next room to a 400w air-cooled hood before hitting the fan and venting outside. My fan is a 333cfm S&P silent inline. I have had some...

Here is an article I put together for your entertainment. Feel free to chime in with your views. If folks like it, I will do more in the future. Why Potency Doesn't Matter Any More - The Sensible Toker Potency is currently one of the most common measures of a cannabis strain's value, and...

I am so glad for all the work being done to bring the benefits of canabis to the light of day. Here is a great read by CNN, talking about the benefits of all the acumulated actives the plant provides. http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/11/health/gupta-marijuana-entourage/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 Here's a...

Pull up a virtual chair and enjoy my latest grow: Jillybean by TGA Grand Daddy Purple by GDP, and Strawberry Banana Kush by Reserva Privada This will be a test grow, through which I will be selecting candidate mother plants, so I am not expecting great yeilds, maybe an ounce per plant or...

I live in New England, and ordered seeds through both Sannies and Herbies Pick'n'Mix on January 12. Sannies doesn't take cc directly, so the order went through Western Union. The whole process was smooth, and Sannie's emails communicated the status of the payment clearly. Herbies Pick'n'Mix...

I am considering pressing kief for long term storage (1-3 years). I have read (and it seems to make sense) that pressed kief keeps much longer than loose kief or jarred bud. I plan on wrapping the pucks in parchment paper and plastic wrap and keeping in my freezer. The question is, as I press...

Here are a few excerpts from the article. The gist is that for the first time, a Federal judge will here the merrits of Schedule I status with Americans for Safe Access v. DEA. http://metrotimes.com/mmj/putting-dea-on-the-defensive-1.1355614 This might be the big one for medical marijuana...

Seeing the Disney banner ad at the top of the RIU site put a smile on my face. I mean, fuck, when Disney is helping to support marijuana growers, it's a beautiful day. Thank you RIU for making ganja colorful family fun.

Here is an article making it into several papers around the nation: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2018709356_potprices18.html What is not discussed is how lower prices would devestate much criminal activity. If pot sales legal in Wash., Ore., feds will have problem, experts...

Yes, here in Connecticut, we must be pretty unsophisticated. Here are some quotes from the Hartford Courant article (emphasis is mine): On the second floor — where Manning lives — officers found what they described as "a high-tech marijuana growing operation." Manning told police...

I have the impression that a lot of growers on this site grow soilless in peat, but I hear little about these grows or technique (vs. lots on coco). I have found that it gives great results with little fuss. So--- Who out there is using a soilless mix based in peat moss? State your mix...

Greetings! I am in the process of finishing off a grow space that I have built under my stairs, allowing me to move up from a 250w cab grow to 400w. The approach that works best for me is Promix/Perlite Soilless with hydro nutes. I am currently running Fox Farms, but am strongly...

Connecticut (yea Connecticut!) is being cited as the model of decriminalization for New Jersey. The bill is making bipartisan progress through committee: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/new_jersey/20120521_ap_marijuanadecriminalizationbilladvancesinnj.html

I've been doing some research on the utility of micorrhizae in soilless mediums using hydropoinic nutrients (since that's my grow method). In various cannibis forums, I have read concerns that high concentrations of Phosphorus or Potassium found in hydropoinic fertilizers kills it off. Howver, I...

Some good news to start the morning... Residents of Oregon voted out the AG that is against medical marijuana and is responsible for raids and threats in that state. This is the best response to hostile legal actions from federal agents, imo...

It's finally happened: CT's legislature voted to approve Medical Marijuana. It now heads to the Governor, who says he will sign it into law. Good news for those in need of medicine. Congratulations to all who helped in the effort...

I plan on using a STB extraction using the Whatchamacallit tek (thank you Floridasucks). Will wash and freeze precip. After doing some reading, I plan on imbibing via changa with a bong or water pipe. Rather than using a solvent, I will likely use heat to melt the DMT into the material...

Several of our dearly departed provided a lot of great wisdom for growers on this site. Many of us benefited, myself included. I would like to do something about preserving that great knowledge. I am looking for volunteers to comb through such great threads as 'Making it Rain,' Uncle Ben's...

Every time I include the word Marijuana in a post, auto corrects to a link to the RIU home page. It's a bit annoying because I can no longer control the font characteristics of the word. What is the point of this change?

Howdy, I usually run a much longer Scrog, but this summer, I have to accommodate a vacation, and can only veg for 2 weeks after they have taken root. How many clones will fit under the light? This is Barney's Blue Cheese in a soiless grow, btw. Thanks ahead of time for your help.
