Seasoned grower: Your plant is only going to hermie if you've got a serious light leak during flower or "bad" genetics. If a plant hermies from the environment its in you've got no business growing in the first place. I thought that was a pretty bold statement and wanted to get further...

I've heard this is a not-so-ideal practice so I had never done it but a veteran grower offered premium genetics as just that so naturally, sure! I'll do my best. 1 week in water then straight into the dirt, its been weeks now and it seems to be still flowering. New pistils and a sweet odor at 5"...

During a weekend getaway to the Big Apple shout out to Brooklyn, my cat chomped on a lot of the lower leaves of my baby(2 full weeks in flower, 1.5' tall , 30+ bud spots, doing nicely) Some of the leaves were mangled and bitten in half! She seems unaffected by it but infection still worries...

I've read a good amount about the distance in which a CFL bulbs' light will travel/penetrate and its not overly impressive. example you have a 4' x 4' x 4' box lined with mylar or whatever else with a plant approximately 3' tall 1.4' wide in the middle. How effective is that reflective...

I would like some veteran feedback on the tipping technique, a friend showed me this and I've been doing it to my plant its entire life, the plant is very happy and healthy and tipping allows my CFLs to get closer so its pretty much routine now. Question is has anyone had bad reactions from...

Nice pistils baby :weed: :leaf:

These 4 plants are the same strain, they were given the same light, soil, and environment. They were grown exactly the same. The 3 plants on the left were paper toweled, the one on the right was pushed into the dirt 3 days AFTER the ones in the paper towels. Apparently it makes a difference...

Hi RIU, I'M sure we all have a million funny smoking stories but I'd like to hear some funny/amazing/just plain crazy GROW stories. Mine is ok, I'm sure there are some much better ones out there though. I was 17 living at home with my mother, sister, and roomate who I was going to high...

This site is filled with great people and knowledge but these spammers are just annoying enough to make me not visit as often as I would.

I'm not sure how many people know this or use this in their routines already but I don't see it mentioned often enough to new growers. A great way to stimulate growth and keep your plant healthy is Aeration, supplying air to the root system by making small tunnels into the soil makes the plant...

Hello, 4 plants from bag seed on day 24 from seed, growing nicely, 24hr CFL soil med, too early to sex. Just got a fresh clone an hour ago (early skunk) upon receiving clone he said that he would get rid of the other plants completely because they would cause the female clone to herm up. Is...

Hello I'm newish to growing and in my limited experience I've not dealt with many bugs, now I've got a few gnats/fruit flys(no biggie) and now some kind of tiny crawling bugs. :cuss: Would someone mind breaking down the most common insects and the threat they pose if any and if its not too...

How early is it safe to start pruning the lower leaves? from seed in a soil mix medium :leaf:

Is it ok to have 3 week old plants fluttering in a breeze all day to compensate for the warm weather? I've heard a breeze is good for the main stem but is there such a thing as too much? Could it make the plant hermi? :leaf:

I've heard a lot about hermi plants and the "fact?" That seeds from hermis' are 99% female. I wanted to know experienced opinion on this. Also if these seeds are def fem how do you get/harvest them? Thanks :leaf:

I've heard and read several different opinions on this topic but not from any veteran growers so for the highly experienced grow masters: At what stage in a plants life are ferts most beneficial? :leaf:

Hi all, 2 seedlings had been transplanted in the first week from insufficient pots and had shown signs of stress with almost no growth for days but after some TLC they are back to steady, yet slow progress but obviously not where they should be by now in week 3. If the plant is stressed out...
