    Drying Your Buds

    Hehe... I've been using this method for quite some time. Works well... takes 3-4 hours to dry, and I've never had a headache... except when the wireless high-jackers are near.

    Drying Your Buds

    When I take a snippet of bud, I put it on top of my Internet router to dry. After I smoke it, my brain is connected via wireless!

    What is the minimum temp for growth?

    I live in the northern latitudes and it gets cold here. My plants are indoor grown with natural window light only. Suprisingly, they do well, although I'm sure quite slower than my commrades with fancy lighting. My question is, I have my plants in a room that has no heat and can get quite...

    is there anything wrong with my pistils??

    This weird. My white pistils turn amber/brown at night, then back to white during the day. I'm not hallucinating... my wife checked them out too and tried to get me to harvest, but lo and behold, the next morning they were white again! What gives?

    What a smoke!

    Man, what a nice toke I just had. I've been babying my two lonesome indoor plants and finally decided to do the unthinkable... I snipped a couple of bong-hits from the top of the cola. I've heard that this is harmless and in fact causes the cola to be bushier and maybe even branch more budes...

    Homegrown nutes?

    OK man... just pissed on my plants (and pants). 15:1 mixture. Watered my babies. I'll report back after a few days and let you know if I see any diff. Thanks for the info. :hump:

    Homegrown nutes?

    Thanks Toker! Who wudda thought. And why not tap water? Is there any other kind? I get my water from a well and I'm sure there is probably something wrong with doing that too. I tested the well ph using a keto stick for urine tests and found the ph to be almost right on at 7.0. I sure have a...

    Homegrown nutes?

    Can an experienced grower give me some tips on locating essential nutes via the "MacGuyver" method? I can't afford fancy store-bought mixtures, so I'm hoping someone can help me how to use the MacGuyver method and tell me where in my own kitchen or cleaning closet I can locate... (N) (P) (K)...

    Long stick with flower

    I have an injured plant that is one long stick with a flower on top. No vegetative material below the flower, but some nice small greens just under it. I over fertilized this lady when she was about a month old. All of the vegetative growth gradually turned brown and dropped off, leaving a...

    Changing light cycle after flowering

    I only have 2 plants approximately 8 weeks old. Poor lighting, and no fancy nutes... just window light. They're small but healthy. Due to my northern latitude solar cycle, both have flowered on their own at about 7" tall with one distinct bud at the top of the stem. I see no more pistils at any...

    My first grow

    I have 2 immature plants about 2 months old. I use no artificial light at all. I rotate the plants to different windows in my home and capture as much sunlight as possible. You can see by the long stems that there is insufficient lighting, but the plants are healthy and starting to flower. I...

    Nutes for a poor newbie

    Yes Knowm... they have several drill holes in the bottom of each can. I never water until the weight of the cans feel dry.

    Nutes for a poor newbie

    Well... here are the two distressed plants I've been talking about. Regardless their appearance, both appear healthy. Again, no interior lighting. I just rotate from window to window during the day. Notice the pretty flower growing on the left. The right has tiny pistils that aren't visible yet...

    Nutes for a poor newbie

    Oops... too late. My two (and only) immature plants are flowering already. One is 7" tall, the other is 4" tall. I don't use any interior lighting. Both are in one gallon containers. I see VERY distinctive white pistils at the tops growing daily! I move these plants around the house every day to...

    Nutes for a poor newbie

    Humbolt I respect your experience and will stop trying to induce flowering until I get more vegetative growth. I'll just be patient I guess, but days are getting much shorter here (45th parallel, 1/2 way between equator and north pole). Theres already only about 10 hours of light a day, and I've...

    Nutes for a poor newbie

    Well... here are my two "underperforming" plants. They are the product of the only 2 seeds I could scavenge from a friend. I planted them about 8 weeks ago and put them in shock after about 2 weeks by soaking them in Miracle Grow. Major stoopid. I flushed and haven't been using MG ever since...

    Nutes for a poor newbie

    Thanks for all the helpful information folks. I have a "High-Times" grow book and it says to induce flowering by giving the plants MORE than 12 hours of total darkness. I'm going with ~14 hours of total darkness to see what happens. It's autumn here and the days are getting shorter, but there's...

    Nutes for a poor newbie

    Can I really force flowering by limiting the plant to less than 12 hours of light? I'm wondering if a black plastic bag would do it.

    Nutes for a poor newbie

    Thanks Garden Knowm. I was quite surprised that you said the plants should be 2-5 ft tall by now. It's fall in Oregon, and the amount of light per day is only about 10 hours. I'm concerned by the look of all the pics of beautiful bushy plants, so I took your advice and snipped a few nodes and...
