    Plants from seed vs Clones

    Goof info--Ive noticed that clones seem to flower faster like you say above, but haven't particularly been aware that there is any better or denser buds at the end of the grow, the ability to choose from a bunch of plants which one to clone automatically ensures that clones are selectively the...

    New grow.. northern lights need advice

    Well, the cloth pots will certainly help, I think miracle grow soil is sometimes considered a bit 'Hot ' by growers over in the US ???--we don't really get miracle grow in grow shops here in the UK. but plenty still use it, anyway I don't believe the yellow spot thing is a fatal disease or...

    New grow.. northern lights need advice

    Lucky Luke--I find it you give NL a decent veg time then the stretch isn't bad, but if you push a half grown vegged plant into flowering a little earlier then the stretch can be 18inches maybe even two foot--Ive had them 4 foot tall and growing into the light suppose the average stretch could be...

    New grow.. northern lights need advice

    Yep, lucky luke--maybe its just a Bio Bizz problem on my side--maybe calcium, or perhaps a PH problem--your info suggests soil related---It never seems to come to anything serious in the end--maybe I should try new soil in the next grow--although it does seem to be a NL specific problem as I...

    What happens when clones are taken in the first week of flowering?

    Be prepared for possibly some pretty funky looking weird leaf activity, when you root a clone from a plant in flower the first couple of true leafs to show once the clone is rooted can be strange looking, like maybe only 3 leafs and/or twisted curly leafs---it soon reverts to normal though as...

    New grow.. northern lights need advice

    Hi-I've grown NL dozens of times, Usually Nirvana Feminised, The yellow spot problem , I still get it no matter what I try. Someone above suggests Magnesium deficiency, but I routinely add a sprinkle of Epsom salts, so I don't think that's the problem. I grow in Bio Bizz soil with Bio Bizz...

    Nirvana NL Auto

    Yeah, good grow--interested in autos and love NL--and growing with a vipar450--so good luck mate--whatever does well in yours will do well in mines--so far so good--a little stretchy but as someone above said--you can bury the long stems deeper--I think?--or can you do that with autos--I got a...

    FinShaggy's Religious Marijuana Grow Journal

    I wonder how much of that is BS to be honest, I once heard of a UK seedbank when they were looking to name a new interesting strain they asked one employee what his favourite fruit was--and he said Strawberries--they then asked another guy what his favourite TYPE of weed was- and he answered ''...

    Going back to veg

    no--it will revert back to veg as long as it not too far into flowering, and the first new leaves etc will be weird curly 3 leaf strange things, but once it gets used to the increase in light again it will be normal--never tried doing this outside the first 3 week or so of flowering so cant give...

    Buying Seeds, Do You Pay Any Attention To the Pics ?

    That's my point mate--reputable seedbanks WILL give out valid info in their pics--you can tell this when you see a pic of something like '' DR Grinspoon ?'' which is a strange bud kind of like wee droopy nugget things-quite different from the normal, and you know the pic is genuine, but 90% of...

    Going back to veg

    if you put a flowering plant back into veg, you get some really strange things happenting, twisted leaves and 3 leaf new growth and all sorts of other weird shit--it eventally returns to a vegging state, but is no doubt a bit confused by the whole experience and it more prone to hermie---anyone...

    Buying Seeds, Do You Pay Any Attention To the Pics ?

    Was going to put this is the Seeds section but as they seem to keep that section for the pros and cons of different seedbanks it seemed out of place---anyway---when you buy seeds how much attention do you pay to the pics which accompany the strain type/ price , info etc---Lets face it it could...

    FinShaggy's Religious Marijuana Grow Journal

    fantastic thread mate, coming to it late as I followed your link from somewhere else you posted--anyway--I love your mindset with the religious aspect and the kind of whole lifestyle approach eg maybe brewing cider as well--I do sililar with various wines in jars etc and I don't know if it...

    Durban Poison

    Durban Poison can be decent weed if grown in the normal fashion indoors, but in the Amsterdam Coffeeshops its usually sold as outdoor grown weed, which means its generally mild, which some prefer--but if given the proper care and attention of the average indoor grow then it can blow your head off.

    Good grow books?

    Hey--Lucky Luke above gives a good call--that Grow Boss dude has a good practical approach to growing and is a good read---some of the problems with most grow books is they assume that we are all growing for dispenseries etc and recommend this and that costing thousands of dollars as if its of...

    Noobies unite

    Yeh thats my only worry here, you work hard and struggle to overcome lots of issues, get your act together and grow some weed---but its not really very good weed ( hey what do I know it might be the best) but unless you get some decent seeds from somewhere your weed will only be as good as its...

    Growing in a big shed?

    I tried to do this in Scotland--worked ok for mar--oct but could not be done in the dead of winter. Only way I could keep things ticking over was to create a '' heated area within the shed with undermat heating pads and thermostatically controlled temps--which isn't as hard as it sounds. say 15...
