Ahoy there! I've got a couple strains cloned right now, and I hope to be ordering two or three more. I'm hoping on keeping some small bonsai moms, and I figured small pots with coco and a wick feeding system would work best. I'm wondering how I test ph and ppm of the coco medium? I guess in...

I have a sinking feeling I know what the consensus will be... :sad: I am pretty new to hydro and DWC. This is my third grow since abandoning the soil. I'm using botanicare pure blend and liquid karma, along with sweet. I know people say that botanicare will stain your roots, so it took me...

Hello all, I'm wondering who else out there uses Botanicare's nutrients? Specifically, I'm wondering if anyone has tried their "Triflex" or "Power Series" lines, and how they compare to the Pure Blend Pro. Also, if anyone has tried their supplements "Cal Mag" or "Hydroplex"? For quite a...

Hello all! I am growing in a 2'x3'x3' tent with a 250w hid. Lately I've been looking at new strains to try, and would like to get some good sativas that are big on social effects and low on burn-out. I've been especially interested in the many variations on Haze. The "Arjan's Haze" line...

Hey folks, after recently reading some of the info in the FAQ about molasses compared to purpose-marketed "carboyhdrate" supplements, I'm thinking that for my next grow I will try using molasses. Right now I've been using botanicare "sweet" along with botanicare pure blend pro bloom and liquid...

Hi Folks! I'm currently running a 250w HSP with a cool tube in a tiny grow tent in my bedroom closet. The fan I have makes a reasonable amount of noise, and while it doesn't bother me as it's off during the night, I may soon have the opportunity to have a lady-friend in my bed for the first...

Hey everyone, The other day in a bag I bought I came across a single seed. Other than that seed, the bud is of the highest quality. I've been told the strain is Sugar (buddy is a true professional and always knows exactly what he's selling). So, assuming that the seed is viable and turns out...

Hellooooo out there! Well, I got started growing on this site a couple of years ago, have learned a lot along the way. Started learning with cfls and seeds from my cousin's organic farm. About six months ago I upgraded to a 250w hid, and quality genetics from the net. In a couple of weeks...

Well, I have just discovered that I seem to have a fair amount of spider mites making my plant their home. I'm not sure how I didn't notice this earlier, but anyways... I'm about 1 weeks from harvest. I'm wondering what I can use to get rid of them that won't be poisonous or nasty tasting...

hey all. I've been growing for about a year, and I learned everything from this site, so first off I'd like to say thanks to all those who helped me when I was just starting out! Now, I've got some spent potting soil and I would like to reuse it. I'm wondering what a good ratio of...

So, I'm just wondering what the advantage is of keeping a specific plant as a mother never goes into flower, as opposed to just grabbing a couple clones off each plant before flowering, and then using those for the next crop, grabbing more clones from them, etc. Is there some benefit to having...

well, I'm building a stealth CFL grow out of a dresser. The question is, should I go for higher wattage lights (42w) but less, or lower watts (23) but more. overall, the wattage adds up to roughly the same. The reason i debate is, I have the eight 42w lights I would need, so if I did that...

#1) I am growing in a tupperware grow-box, and after chopping the plant will hang the whole thing to dry in the same box. Would it be better to have the fans going, to keep air moving and prevent mold, or should I keep the fans off? #2) Yesterday I pulled out my pen microscope and had a...

well, i've read through the FAQ a few times, trying to figure out what is going on with my plant, but i'm totally lost. it is 5 weeks into flowering. i'm growing in a box made from two rubbermaid tubs, with 8 23w CFLs. The lights are about 1" from the hightest buds. I'm feeding every 4 - 5...

well, i went to my jar to pull out another quarter bag of my harvest from a few weeks ago, and i discovered that some mould was growing in a couple bags, and i lost over 1/2 oz. so sad. but i'm wondering if it would be safe to make butter out of? cheers.

if you want to read my description of my harvest bud, read below. if you just want to look at the pics, please do - and offer comment. any guesses as to dried weight? well, i harvested my first crop yesterday - 50 days into flowering. I know it's early. I was planning on waiting another...

well, i returned home after 10 days at my parents' place for christmas. my plants are at day 42 of flowering. lots of the leaves are brown and crumbly. i know that towards the last few weeks of floweing, leaves will dry up as nutrients is transfered to the buds......but, this looks worse than...

alright, well i'm approaching 3 weeks of 12/12 (tomorrow is day 21) and here are some pics. buds are starting to put on some mass, they are feeling nice and dense-ish when i lightly sqeeze them. first question - as you will see in the pics, some of my buds' hairs are starting to dry and turn...

well, for a while the future looked bleak, but one of my two clones has rooted and is starting to grow. woohoo!! no more starting from seed for me! I am wanting it to grow nice and slow, to keep as a mother. basically, in 7 weeks when my current grow is done, i will need to get about 6...

well i'm on day 14 of 12/12, doing a ScrOG grow. My question is, how much foilage is safe to prune off to allow more light to the budsites? I've been training every day or so, and i've been tucking the fan leaves under as much as I can to open up the light. i've pinched off a few leaves here...
