You'd be very safe to grow for personal use. Keep your plant numbers low and veg a long time for maximum yield to minimize any legal repercussions, and just be smart about your grow. The vast majority of busts are made off snitches from sales gone wrong. Somewhere along the food chain, some...

I'd just be counting myself lucky not to be in jail. If they were real cops, yeah you could go after them, but would you really risk almost certain jail time to get back a measly two grand? I'd count your losses if I were you. Talk to your landlord ASAP and tell him that your money was...

Thanks for the input. Seems like I've been holding my pH at 5.8 based off of some bad information I read a long time ago. Hopefully this lowering allows more mojo to take place.

I've noticed on a lot of nutrient availability by pH charts, there is no magic number that satisfies all nutrients. My question is do you you let your pH fluctuate and from what to what? I run an NFT / Aero system and my pH ranges from 5.8-6.0 on average with rare spikes of 5.5 up to 6.3. I...

The usual formula is 1000W per bedroom, however if you're not going to be actually doing much besides growing you can probably double that and be fine. Basically $100 a month per bedroom on your bill is high, but not insane.

Flushing them out with a large quantity of water will release the nutes into the water being flushed and out the bottom. I never had massive burn after flushing out my MG potting soil plants.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Now if you had a heads up, say you deal to someone, they get busted and you suspect they'll be knocking on your door with a warrant within the next few days, then you can get rid of evidence in any number of ways. Without even leaving the house, you...

.5 per watt is a pretty pedestrian yield. It's really hard to calculate because of all the factors. Temps, fertilizer, medium, strains, location, etc. This question can't be answered well with a calculator or a third party. You'll just have to wait :D

I've been getting .5 per watt during my first grows (burnt as shit thanks to over nutes and the hottest summer evar), so I assume it's quite possible. 2 pounds for 900 watts (6-150W HPS cabinet grow) is my eventual goal.

I have seen the top colas stretch late in flower before while the lower buds seem to stay chunkier and turn brown (hairs) before the tops. I don't know the strain I have, however it looks like a kush variety. ... Yeah, real helpful, I know.

I see my future...

MG soil often causes nutrient burn in seedlings. The cure is to flush the pot with lots of water (3-5 times the amount the pot could hold if empty) and then fertilize it very lightly afterward.

Google "line voltage thermostat". If you get a "double throw" one, you can have it either turn something on when the temp is above OR below a certain temp, as most are used for heaters and only turn on when the room temp is below your setting.

I may post my setup sometime and give some advice on problems I've run into, but I just want to throw in my 2 cents first. Grow boxes are a pain in the ass. I did a series of grow boxes hidden in a big secret area behind a basement workbench. Looking back, I don't know what advantages it...

Thrips will leave little depression patches that are not easy to see at first, and they're really small and (usually) white. Thrips are resistant to neem and many other pesticides, however pyrethrum and permethrin (synthentic pyrethrum) work like a charm. BEWARE: permethrin can hang around for...

Yes, if you own a gun and it's at your uncle's house, then you'll be fine. By own, I mean having in the same location as your grow. If you have a gun in the same house that is being grown in, it can and will probably add time.

Most often it's going to be a nighttime raid. The problem is that they lump marijuana in with violent crime. If you're going to be selling heroin or coke, you have to have connections to other countries where they can get away with growing fields of the stuff. I don't know much about the...

The fact of the matter is SOMEONE has stated that they're clearly suspicious. Ditch everything. Take your stash and smoking gear to a friend's house and smoke over there for a while. Even with possession, your name goes on a list and you're marked for life.

The first trip to the grow store can be intimidating for first timers, and on rare occasions, inexperience can lead to getting harassed by police or even arrested. There are some obvious steps you can take to keep your profile low and maintain your growing habits. Most of this is common sense...

Butter is super easy to make. Add trim to a bunch of butter in a crock pot on low and let it sit for a day, stirring occasionally. Beware, there will be a big odor caused by this, so have some kind of ventilation or odor control. If you're growing with a carbon filter, set the pot up in your...
