    Things I learned on my first indoor grow and how it cost me money

    I researched a total of about 10 - 15 hours before purchasing my set-up, seeds, etc. I thought I researched quite a lot... It was not enough. There is a lot of misinformation on the internet and I also didn't think things through enough, which in the end cost me more money and i didn't yield...

    Harvesting and smell

    So I heard that harvesting can stink up your house to high heavens. What is the part smells the most? The trimming or hanging/drying. I cannot have my house smell since I live in a town home and dont want to worry about my neighbors. While I am legal, there are bylaws about smell in my...

    Mag Def? and Soil Ph?

    Good morning RIU It looks like my plant has started to show some signs distress. I am very confused as it looks like Mag deficiency, which would mean soil PH was too high. Yet when I PH'd the run off it was at 5.0; I used my soil PH tester and it said 7. So I am confused. If you can confirm...

    Dont think i need to be worried but, what is this!

    I did read the stickys on top, one of them the picture links do not work anymore so was not very useful. The other I don't think I could find symptoms that matched. There is a brown dot on one leave and on 2 other leaves there are crinkles forming where the fan leaves meet. Again I am not too...
