    When is a Seedling not a Seedling?

    Hello All, Quick question. My seeds germinated about a week ago. Since then, they have been under the light 24/7. I want to move them to an 18/6 schedule but I am not sure when to do it. If I do it too soon will they stretch? When is the optimal, safe time to change the light...

    Managing temps in an outdoor grow room.

    I built a grow box last year in my backyard shed in the south eastern US. All was well with my C99 plants and getting ready to start to flower when the temps outside soared and my plants didn't make it. There was simply no way for me to reduce the heat in the building. Growing inside the...

    It my understanding that when you smoke the bud, it is the trichomes in and on the bud that gives you the high. If that is the case, what about the leaves with all of the trichomes on them? I see pictures posted here with leaves just coated with them. If they are what matters, why do you...
