    What's in a Name?

    Just a heads up, this is one of those "LP Threads". I know they're plentiful in this section as of late, so sorry for adding to what some don't want to see. I am wondering, as I peruse Mettrum's newly updated site, why they are using such a ridiculous system. Why not use well established...

    White widow amber at week seven....

    I've got some White widows in the flower room that are at week 7. Now normally I harvest later than most, because I find a lot of people get too anxious and harvest before they should. But these white widows have that "finished" look, and the tricomes are already around 30% amber. I'm not...

    Companion Planting

    Just curious if anyone else employs this method. I grow several different veggies on the outskirts of my light footprint. The light isn't direct enough for my girls, but I find that pretty much everything I plant in this area grows like crazy compared to just sitting in a window during the...

    Where you at?

    First off, thanks a ton to potroast for starting this forum section. It will be nice to be able to address Canada specific issues. So to kick things off, what province is everyone in? I'm in Manitoba.

    Canadian Glass Blower?

    I am thinking of having a custom bong made. I've always wanted a personalized piece of art to enjoy. Here's what I'm after: Glass on glass Perc ash catcher (maybe) A couple different size bowls wondering if anyone can do etching. I have a specific thing I would like etched into the stem...

    Identify this critter?

    The first pic is zoomed in at about 40X. The second is about 15X (to give perspective on the size) These little bugs are very tiny, just barely able to see them with the naked eye. Anyone know what they are? Seem like some sort of larvae, but there are no "adults", so I'm guessing these are...

    Hydrogen Peroxide to remove sulfides.

    I've read that hydrogen peroxide is effective for removing sulfides that are commonly found in well water. My water is great, but I do have a lot of sulfides and was considering using this as a way to get rid of them. Does anyone have any direct experience with this that can tell me how...

    Dutch Passion, "The Ultimate"

    Hey RIU, I had a really hard time finding any info on these, so had decided that the best way to find out was to give them a shot. I grew two plants from seed, and did very little pruning so I could see how they grew on their own. Here's my report on the results: Strain: The Ultimate by...

    CO2 for curing?

    When I am curing bud in a jar, what is the best kind of air to have in there? Should it be high in oxygen or CO2? For example, once they have been burped appropriately, and are ready to stay sealed in the jars for long term, would it be beneficial to fill the jars with CO2? (I always have a tank...

    Can you figure out my mistake?

    So I made a dumb mistake. I was feeling embarassed about it, but then something occured to me. Perhaps if I show it to you guys, someone may learn something from it. I was thinking we could give the newer growers on RIU a chance to try and identify the mistake I made. (Those of you with lots...

    Lets talk feminized seeds

    I'd like to hear some opinions on feminized seeds in general. So far, I just don't like em. I've found them sensitive to stress (even the smallest amount of pruning tends to affect them), they have a strong tendancy to go hermie (this is what I hear, not my own experience. Hasn't happened to me...

    The Mother Grow

    Decided to do a grow journal, if for no other reason than to pick up some advice and to make my usual tracking a little more interactive. The goal of this grow is to produce some mother plants to use for clones. I am looking to add some new strains to my arsenal, and after a few years of growing...

    Germinating in an incubator

    Hey guys. I am starting a few new strains (pineapple express, white widow, and bubba kush), and decided to try germinating the seeds in an incubator. I breed ball pythons, and have some eggs incubating. The incubator is in total dark, and the temp in maintained at 89F. I use the plate and paper...

    Cannabis Crazy Canuck...

    Hey er'body. Just a quick intro. I'm a Canadian (in case you hadn't guessed) and I've been growing for about a year now, so still pretty fresh at this. So go easy on me! I figured it was time to get onto a forum, and start asking for some advice/sharing war stories with some people outside my...
