    Horrible tasting herb?

    The only way I can explain it is it tastes like resin. If you were to scrape some old resin off a pipe and smoke it, thats how it tastes. At first, I thought it was my bong. I cleaned it and smoked again and it was just as bad. I then smoke some herb from a past harvest to make sure it was...

    Sun Bleached Haze Plant @ 9 weeks Flower

    I am not 100% positive but I think I bleached this haze plant by putting it too close to my 400w. The reason I think I bleached her is because the lower leaves look pale green and normal for 9 weeks flowering but if you notice the very top fan leaves are like whiteish yellow - and it isn't the...

    Which is more preferable?

    Build a rich organic soil so that the plant only needs to be watered from start to finish or to use a pre-made store bought potting soil with 0 nutrients as a medium and water with an organic tea every 3rd watering? I ask because I am having a HARD time finding all the elements of a good...

    Clone straight to flowering?

    I recently read about a new cloning method that I would like to try in HT magazine. It suggests taking a cutting and leaving about 8-10 inches of stem, then burying the majority of the stem in the soil. The stem should suck up water / nutrients and no need for a humidity dome. When roots grow...

    Maintaining a soil pH of 6.5

    When trying to maintain a soil pH of 6.5 what do you adjust your feeding pH to and your plain watering / molasses water pH to? I guess it's all based on the pH of your soil dry (something I have not been able to determined). What indicators tell you if the soil pH is getting too acidic? I've...

    Testing pH by soil runoff?

    How accurate of a pH indicator is taking a soil runoff sample? I am growing in soil and I need to find out the pH so I can solve a problem.
