    Can Flowering cause Sinus problems?

    I've never heard of people being allergic to the plant itself or its secretions. Also, no males=no pollen. Is it possibly some other environmental thing like mold, mildew, dust mites?

    Strain Identification

    Agree. Too many strains in the world, not enough difference between them, too many mutts, and no international sanctioning body monitoring breeders' claims about heritage.

    Bunk Nirvana AK-48 feminized seeds...

    Wow. I've had the opposite experience so I want to make sure the other side gets heard. Grown a number of Nirvana strains including AK48, Bubblelicious, and now Ice. Never had a problem germing-- at least 9 of ten each time-- in fact I can't remember losing any. Re: AK48-- the one plant kept as...

    My White Widow pictures !!

    If you are going to separate them, the sooner the better. The roots will tangle together and it will become difficult to separate them without damaging one if not both. There are lots of good reasons not to have them in the same pot. I don't know if you are growing from seed or not, but if so...

    My White Widow pictures !!

    They do look great. Imho I don't think it's wise to have them in the same container.

    Separating males and females

    Sorry, move the males from the female. If you plan on breeding out a strain, be careful to make good records and do good research. It's complicated because you can't tell whether a male has optimal traits until you grow out and finish its female offspring months and months later. Then factor in...

    Separating males and females

    No distance is safe if you want a guarantee of completely seedless bud. Pollen from the male travels in the air and on your clothes, etc. If you want to capture the pollen from the male then flower it out in another room far far away, don't put a fan on it, and don't visit it before you visit...

    Molasses

    Yeah. I agree pretty much with the other posters. Use unsulphured molasses-- I'm pretty sure ordinary molasses from the grocery store is usually unsulphured. I just guesstimate a little over a half Tbs per gallon every other watering, sometimes twice in a row if they're going strong. After I...

    Molasses

    I can't speak for Earth Juice, but I will vouch for Molasses. Of all the adjustments since I started growing, adding molasses has propduced the greatest benefit.

    False Hermies?

    I'm wondering if anyone has had plants that looked like hermies early in flowering, but turned out to be completely female. I have these Leda Uno plants. I started 5 seeds got 5 strong plants. I switched them to 12/12 about 10 days ago. It looked initially like I got 2 males and 3 hermies. This...

    best style of grow?? personal choice and opinions encouraged

    I've never run a big grow like you are working on-- I limit it to 6-9 plants in flowering-- so your strategy will likely differ quite a bit from mine. I try to keep the plants as short as possible with the lights as close as possible. My thinking is that since there is something like an...

    What's the best near scentless, short-flowering strain ?

    +1 for Nirvana's AK48. At least the phenotype I know about. Smells lightly sweet, fast to flower and flowers fast w/o too much stretching. Good yield, great resin.

    Traveling to mexico with Bud - fool proof

    I don't think it's a good idea to transport across the border. That's federal territory, multiple governments, and Mexico is the focus of the "drug war" right now. But if you aren't convinced, I would make some cookies or brownies or something, or maybe some oil. Make it so that even if they...

    The best water to grow is!

    I like the *idea* of rainwater, but I do not want to introduce anything from outside to the inside. Too worried about bugs and diseases. Maybe I'd be more tempted if my ordinary tap water didn't produce such good results.

    should I top my mother

    Especially if you grew this one from seed, you might be able to prompt side growth by topping. I've had some plants that got to 6-7 nodes without branching at all. Then when I topped them new growth sped up at the nodes.

    girlfriend trouble

    Dear Dysfunctional, Maybe you meant to go here: www.DearAbby.com. I find the misogyny on this board to be a little over the top sometimes, even if it is jk. That said, a psycho is a psycho. If this is your livelihood, you'd better pick your associates more wisely. Someday you might find out...

    which method do u use to crack ur seeds?

    Another vote for the paper towel method, but I soak them first. I put them in a shot glass filled with room temp water in the dark until they sink to the bottom. Then I put them inside a moist pptwl in a baggie on the pc monitor. They will usually all have strong tap roots in the next day or...
