    Old Soil???

    Experienced/Novice grower here... It's been a while since my last post. My last grow finished in the spring of 2015 and left me with enough of a personal supply of good bud to skip a year. Well, now my supply is running low so it's time to start a new grow. Unfortunately, it seems I've lost my...

    Will they recover??? Stunted growth...

    I tried germinating 4 seeds in rooting plugs. They ended up as still births... they popped, but after nearly two weeks, never rooted. 1 ea. Critical Kush, Liberty Haze, Purple Trainwreck, White Widow, all fem. So with fresh seeds I went back to the paper towel method and the new ones all...

    How long will it last...?

    Hey all, I sifted some dry ice kief over 8 months ago and have stored it in well sealed jars in a cool dry location. I dip into it from time to time, but it's a bit too intense so I use it sparingly, and usually just scoop some into a bowl of bud. I was just wondering how long will kief (or...

    Sand or gravel...?

    My last grow I had a mix of Ocean Forest and some "organic" Miracle Grow soil and ended up battling gnats for weeks during flowering, thanks to the Miracle Grow soil. A few treatments with Azamax helped keep their numbers down, as did a friendly spider which took up residence nearby the gnats...

    Oregano

    Hey there fellow gardeners! I've tried growing a variety of oregano's (actual oregano, not MJ) in my garden outdoor; Greek, Italian, Marjoram, just plain oregano, but none of them come close enough to the oregano my mom got from family back in Italy. The oregano she grows is so much more...

    General Hydroponics: Rapid Rooter

    How do I store unused Rapid Rooters? Unfortunately, the only available quantity of these things is 50 per bag, and they're quite pricey. I've used half a dozen or so, and have kept the rest in a cool dark corner of my basement sealed in the bag they came in since March. I probably wont need...

    Disected: Lighthouse Hydro 90W UFO POS

    I bought this thing a few years back to power my mini grow cab. Lighthouse Hydro 90W UFO. But after a few days, I just couldn't stand the violet colored light. It made my girls look sick (in a bad way). The damn thing is, uh, WAS, bright as hell, but just not to my liking. I tried reselling it...

    Ok, for the millionth time...

    (...it's MY first time asking, however.) How do I post a pic? What happened to the galleries? I've been searching threads to try to find the answer, but nothing seems to fit what I'm seeing, or doing wrong. When I click the 'insert image' button it brings up a message box for a URL. It used...

    Mother plant light on time? Also, cuttings...

    What is the minimum amount of "on" time that a mother plant needs to keep from going into bloom? Right now she's on 15/9 but 14/10 would be better, I think. Trying to keep this purple dream mother alive but want her to grow slowly while we learn how to take cuttings. How long can a mother...

    Kindle Issue...

    It seems that if you're using a Kindle HD 7" tablet the home page is displayed oddly when the tablet is in the landscape position. The Forum titles go vertical and get scrambled kinda like this: e G r a G n r a e l i j n o r u a w i n g M a If you click on a forum however, you can view it and...

    Finishing Late?

    So, what happens if you let your buds really ripen on the plant? Say 30-40% amber trichs or more? I know you'll lose some potency, but does it change the characteristics of the buzz? More or less couch lock or stoney or trippy? Does it affect the flavor? Does it increase CBD? What if you...

    One hit wonder?

    So, lately I've found that in order to smoke kief, I literally have to take 1 hit and wait sometimes as much as an hour before hitting the bong again. A few days ago, before I figured that out, I'd taken about 3 or 4 hits, and within 10 minutes was freaking out in full panic attack, which...

    Decarboxylate kief?... Why and how?

    Hey RIU, My apologies if this topic has been covered already. I've searched the forum and read parts of some lengthy posts but I'm not sure I'm understanding. I can pack a bowl with fresh kief from aged buds and catch a nice buzz. However it seems after reading some of the posts in the forum...

    Growing in the cold.

    So what happens if a grow room cools to 60-65 degrees F (or lower) during the dark hours? I think the temp with the lights on will be in the mid to upper 70's, but as it's a new grow room it has yet to be tested. I know things get arid in an unvented closet. 2012's closet grow ended in May...

    Is anyone using Roots Uprising indoors?

    I've got the small bags of Foundation, Grow, and Bloom and they'll probably last me a decade, unless I use them as a top dressing in the tomato garden outside next year (which I do plan on). Aside from using them per the bag's schedule, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the...

    THC Bomb Germinating problem...

    Hey all, I was wondering if anyone else might have had a problem germinating some THC Bomb regulars? I put 4 in a wet paper towel in a plastic bag on a constant heat source (not too hot, just warm). They initially all seemed to pop, but only 2 actually sprouted once they were put into soil...

    Very old MH lamp...

    Would a 20 year old MH bulb that was never used be worth using now? It's just a standard 250w universal mount bulb...Phillips, I think. Also, do these or HPS bulbs explode if they fail? I know fingerprints can cause hotspots on the bulb's glass which could cause it to fail, but could it explode?

    Cleaning room pre-grow...

    Aside from a really good cleaning with bleach, can neem oil or any other anti-bug solution be used to prevent bugs from getting into your grow room?
