2 quick questions about running super soil OUTDOORS: 1) With heavy rains should I expect not to get as much "mileage" out of my SS as I would indoors? Idea being that the good stuff in the soil is being rinsed out with the rains... 2) Cal-Mag -- with rain water only should I count on mag...

Running SS for the first time and trying to wrap my brain around organic gardening. Looked at a bunch of different tea recipes, but I was wondering... Can someone suggest some simple tea recipes using only the ingredients I already have around for making Subcool's Super Soil (plus some...

The term "flushing" is perfectly valid in all of the following usage contexts: - flushing to rid the medium of excess mineral buildup, which can cause nutrient lockout and other medium imbalances - flushing to correct a feeding issue, such as overfeeding - flushing before harvest to try and...

I was in the market for a medium-sized 4pc grinder. Never owned an herb grinder before, my friend insists that I get a Space Case. I go to the headshop and she shows me the Space Case for $90, and then this Aerospaced knockoff for $40. It looked exactly the same to me. Guess which I...

One of my so-called "feminized" plants just revealed otherwise so I've got 1sqft of space to so something useful with. There's a 250W HPS on 12/12 schedule... I have the following freebies sitting here: - Kannabia Big Band (Feminized) - Kannabia BCN Diesel AUTO (Feminized) - GH Ladyburn 1974...

I have a EYE Hortilux Blue MH and Lumatek ballast, all at 250W and relatively new, and it's a coin toss whether the bulb ignites in the morning at its assigned time. At first I suspected the new digital timer, so I switched back to the old-style mechanical timer but the problem persists. If I...

I have 4 plants in a 2'x2' tent in the closet. If you can imagine it, when the canopy fills the entire tent there is little working room and it's a pain in the ass to water the plants in the back (or the backside of the front 2 plants for the matter), and even a bigger pain in the ass to move...

Hey all, It's been a while since I posted here, but I need some serious help. Over the last several months I've been trying to figure out wtf is wrong with my grow(s). Starting from seed, germination goes well and the seedling starts out healthy and dark green, but within 2 weeks chlorosis...

I've got some Dutch Passion fems that I received in October of 2007 (less than 2 years ago). They are germinating normally but when I get them into soil they aren't makin' it above ground. It's really strange because my understanding is that seeds stay good for several years; I've kept them in...

Got some big 2oz colas this time, with another z spread out across the plant. 2 DP strawberry cough plants, 293W CFL, mylar, foxfarm, all in the closet. That's 6oz total, kids. CFL Master Grower status achieved. :bigjoint:

Thanks to everyone who helped me out during my latest grow. Special thanks to GK and fdd2blk whom I bugged a few times each via PM. They are very helpful folks! The results are in as all bud is in glass jars and has been for up to a week and a half now. I declare this grow a huge success...

I have 1 DP Strawberry Cough Plant and 1 DP Mazar (Skunk x Afghani). Both came from feminized seeds. The Mazar hermied and pollinated both plants. 1) What will the seeds from the Mazar plant grow? 2) What will the seeds from the Strawberry Cough grow? I'm looking to find out the likely...

Did some heavy watering today (indoor soil), came backa bit later and saw what looked like black dust on the edges of the pots. Then I noticed the "dust" was moving. Hundreds and hundreds of the tiniest bugs I've ever seen! WTF are these things?

Finally got me a pH pen... one of those Milwaukee ones. First, I calibrated the pen to 7.0. Then, I tested the pH of the plain water I use. It tested between 7.8 & 8.0. Then I water the plant with this water and captured the first runoff. It tested between 6.7 and 6.8. So... what does...

What does the timetable look like on trichome THC content throughout the grow? Is it gradual and steady thru flowering, or is it slow until closer to the end when there's a THC production spurt, or something else?

Today is day 29 of 12/12. One of my girls has grown really tall and lanky and I don't feel like the lower areas of the plant are going to get enough light. There are some buds down there, but their just gonna be little popcorn buds when it's all said and done with... that's my assumption...

I just posted pics and information of my 2nd grow in the brand new CFL forums (thanks webmaster!), but thought I'd link to it here since I am a newbie and others might be interested. https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/40939-dutch-passion-cfl-soil-grow.html Enjoy. :)

Figured I'd share my current grow progress and contribute to the new CFL forum. :) This is my 2nd grow, this time I'm using feminized Dutch Passion seeds -- 1 Strawberry Cough plant and 1 Mazar plant. I'm using a total of 293 watts of CFL lighting (1x125W + 4x42W) in a closet. I'm not sure...

I don't claim to be an expert in cannabis cultivation -- I'm only on my second grow -- but I've learned and read enough information on the subject to know that there is a TON of disinformation here in the newbie forums spread by inexperienced growers who, frankly, don't know what the fuck they...

Besides providing additional light, does anyone know of any tricks to minimize plant stretching when first switched to 12/12?
