    New Hypothesis & Experimental Approach to Defoliation (for science geeks like me)

    It's an honor to have you comment on my thread Uncle Ben. I've seen you contribute invaluable knowledge to this forum and I'd like to thank you in advance for that. I'm not sure you will have access to all of the papers but if you do a brief google search of the words "monosaccharide...

    New Hypothesis & Experimental Approach to Defoliation (for science geeks like me)

    Thanks for pointing me to this thread. One of topics I read about was feeding sucrose/glucose to the plant at the roots to combat the loss at the leaves. I believe that's why people feed the roots molasses. Actively transported across the cell and bacteria/fungi in soil utilize it to...

    Dirt Genius LED's

    I never thought of building my own LED light panel..... I dont think I would have the time to research it, sit down and then build it myself. I purchased my lights with a promo coupon from vminnovations website or amazon.....I cant remember which one to be honest. The stats for the lights...

    Dirt Genius LED's

    P.S. Although I don't know the PAR output or lumen output on these, I gauged the value based on price per watt. I paid $260 for the two lights so thats: 165 Watts + 140 Watts = 305 True Watts.....so then $260/305 True Watts = about $0.85246 per watt. So the two lights are about 85 cents a...

    Dirt Genius LED's

    Any opinion on the Dirt Genius Line of LED's??? I went ahead and ordered one Veg spectrum and one Flower spectrum.....mainly because of their 3 year warranty and being located in the USA. Look's like blackstar LED's but way cheaper. I have the Veg LED light over some seedlings I just germinated...

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    Any opinion on the Dirt Genius Line of LED's??? Look's like blackstar LED's but way cheaper. There is a video on youtube if you search for "Joyhydrogrow 300 watt vs dirt genius 280" that shows the actual draw on his kill-a-watt meter and they seem spot on. I went ahead and ordered two of them...

    Do you grow fem or normal? Why

    Started with bad seed to learn. Moved up to feminized to save space and now I strictly run regs because I have more space and more resources to breed my own seeds. Every grow I clone my best female veg her for 2 months to add girth and then breed her so I never have to buy seeds from that...

I take a 3 liter ginger ale soda bottle (most water soluable vitamins are UV light sensetive, ESPECIALLY the B vitamins, so lightproof or tinted bottles stored...

    Plant Physiology 101: 100% Germination Rates Guaranteed through ABA levels

    Thanks aimaim lol. Im new here and im not trying to step on anyones toes. Just trying to demystify the mystery behind bad gerination. It all makes sense if you read it and can look past the big words. Technically, gilligan and his crew are right, I should have sighted the info. I was just...

    Thanks Dr. Who, I put it in the newbie section because i figgured evryone else has their germination ratios above 80% already due to experience. I mysyelf am new to growing and the forum as well. I know what a sticky is, but who decides which post becomes one? I apologise if its in the wrong...

    Plant Physiology 101: 100% Germination Rates Guaranteed through ABA levels

    In order for a seed to germinate, many conditions must be met. Firstly a seed must be viable. If a seed is viable it require a suitable environment with proper levels of moisture, suitable temperatures, oxygen, fertile soil, and proper pH levels to name a few. However, as many of us have...

    THC Bomb Grow Journal

    I just finished my THC bomb grow, got sucked into the hype like everyone else that sees their stats of 700g/sqm. I ordered 20 regular thc bomb seeds, and planted 10 strait to soil. All 10 popped and I vegged them under two 600 watts MH and six 100watt equiv CFLs for 6 weeks. Thought I got...

    Do you have poor germination rates? Read this!

    That's pretty old. I would love to know the results. Have they been refrigerated the entire 11 years? I would be pretty impressed if 11 year old seeds germinate. Even if it was just one. Please keep me up to date with your future results. Good luck to you.

    Do you have poor germination rates? Read this!

    Another awesome point Casc! Most seeds today are HYBRIDS! Meaning that seeds from the same hybrid mother plant will produce diverse seeds. Some may express sativa dominant genetics and require soaking before germ. Some may express indica dominant genetics and require exposure to cold before...

    Do you have poor germination rates? Read this!

    Sorry I rambled on...I'm note sure if my final point was clear. According to expert horticulturist, in most seeds, certain requirements must be met PRE-GERMINATION in order for germination to occur. Examples: Sativas are are MOSTLY found in tropical/high temperature area; Indicas are MOSTLY...
