I have heard many people talk about their buds being tight and compact versus fluffy. Exactly what does that mean, and wouldn't it depend on the strain? Can a growers' methods make a difference in the bud density? Thanks

About two weeks ago I purchased a new 400 watt HPS bulb for my plants now in flowering. I noticed that the bulb has a dark blemish near the base. The bulb still lights up but I am thinking that I have a bad bulb and while it is still under warranty I should return and replaced the bulb. I am...

I could not find any previous post regarding the reuse of rockwool when there were never any roots in them. I have about 15 small rockwool cubes that I tried to root clones in but the clones died and did not root at all. Can the rockwool cubes be used for my next batch of clones, or do I have to...

If anyone comes across some of that shiny Mylar type blankets/sheets in Southwestern Michigan, please let me know what store(s). Some people are saying that they find it in the dollar store or cheap at other places here on RIU. I think I might have a project for that shiny inexpensive material...

Can you see the light parts (burn) on the leaves? Okay, I was going to try and cover this up, but after thinking about it I know that I should put it out there so that I can learn from my mistakes. Besides, who am I trying to fool, I have pretty broad shoulders and I can take criticism...

I stumbled across a hempy bucket thread and got turned on:-P! I look at some of the hydro growers and think that I could never grow that way. A lot of testing and correcting, too much work and room for error. Then I saw the hempy bucket grow and thought, I can do that. I am going to try this as...

When using CFLs in a confined area does a reflector add much benefits to lighting the plants, specifically when you have reflective material surrounding the area? Thanks:leaf::leaf::finger:

I have read a lot about HPS (High Pressure Sodium) lights being better for the flowering stage, and am pretty much convinced that is the way to go. There is evidence from growers on here (RIU) that CFLs (Compact Florescent Lights) can produce some nice plants and decent yields for the entire...

Week #2 of flowering - This morning when I checked on my ladies I was surprised to see that Shiva Shanti #1 (from regular seed) was showing signs of sexing. This made me feel good so I did a little maintenance on the ladies thinking that they were deserving of a little extra TLC. This afternoon...

I made a run to my local Grow Store this evening to pick up a few things and received a sample of Insect Frass (insect poop). Has anyone used this as a hydro or soil additive, tea or other methods, what were the results, if noticeable? Insect Frass (2-2-2) - 100% Organic -US Farm-Grown - All...

Oh my! I received my utility bill for January 2011 and the electric increased more than double. I have been running the lights for my grow on the 18/6 schedule. In December I was running fewer CFL lights on the 24/0 schedule and my bill increased about $8 for the month of December. The lighting...

I am a Newbie/Noobie, however you want to spell it. Up to a 8 weeks ago I had never seen a living cannabis/marijuana plant (I am no spring chicken either). I had seen lots of pictures, but not a living plant up close and personal. My sense of smell was once gone but now I can detect scents...
