As many know, most of the bubblehead gang has moved to a different forum. This doesn't mean that they're bad/wrong or the RIU is bad/wrong; it just means that some change has occurred. So let's start off the New Year with a clean slate and let bygones be bygones. There's no sense in name...

Anyone hedging on the dollar to have a short term rally? I bought some UUP. Also UNG (natural gas ETF) hit a new 52 week low last week, so I bought some @ 8.52. Yesterday it had a nice run, but I'll continue to hold for the balance of this week since it's getting cold & snowing through out the...

Here's an easy way to drain your tub/rez for those weekly nute changes. Add a 1/2" "T" to the water pump discharge. From the "T", run the 1/2" tubing to the distribution hub and then from the other side of the "T", run the 1/2" tubing through a hole as close to the top of the tub/rez as...

On Saturday I bought a 600W Digital Greenhouse ballast & a SunMaster 600W HPS bulb. I got home and it fired right up. Sunday morning I went into the room and no light. The fan was running on the ballast, but the bulb wasn't on. So today I drove back and HTG found the ballast to be working...

Disregard!!

I'm currently in week 5 flowering and I'm growing WW, NL & Thai. The WW & NL should be finished by the end of Dec, but the Thai looks to be a few weeks longer(end of Jan.) My question is: Can I start my veg cycle with 12/12 for the first couple of weeks? The only problem that I can foresee is...

For those of you who haven't read Micheal Pollen's "The Botany of Desire," PBS will be televising this on Oct 28th @ 8pm. "Featuring Micheal Pollen and based on his best selling book, this special takes you on an eye-opening exploration of the human relationship with the plant world- seen from...

Since Rosey's gone and not wanting to overload his thread, I thought we could use this thread to BS, post pics, ask questions and share our grows. Also DrDodge29 got bounced for saying "what's up bitches" over on GP and since many of us have formed online friendships I thought starting a new...

This is an excerpt in it's entirety taken from pages 145-147 of the Cannabible 3 written by Jason King and from another forum who's member said it was OK for me to post it here: Why most pot sucks As my appreciation for fine cannabis grows, I have become more aware of the shortcomings of most...

I'm in week 7 flowering and for the last couple of weeks my plants had a strong smell but I noticed yesterday & today that the smell has really subsided. Is this normal for the plants to smell less prior to harvesting. Oh yea, I'm growing WW via hydro. Thanks!!

I have two plants beginning Week 7 Flowering and on one plant I noticed these pods, two side-by-side with hairs coming out of them at the nodes. Are these seeds? If so, is it uncommon for seeds to develop at the nodes this late into flowering? The buds are fine, no pods or balls.

I just got one of Radio Shack's 60X -100X hand held microscopes with the light built-in. Question: are there any tricks in using this little jewel while viewing the plant? I imagine that cutting off a small piece and examining it on a table would be best, but I'm just interested in checking...

I'm reposting this under a new heading that will hopefully draw in some gurus. I have a plant with four branches coming up from the base(I FIM it @ Day 9 veg) and one of the four branches(the other three have female pistils and flowers developing) went hermie. In an attempt to save the plant...

I was checking my "girls" this morning and on one branch I noticed what looks like a cluster of balls. Three little pods together. See photo, but not too clear. So do I pinch the balls off and allow that branch to grow or do I cut it off at the base? Note the other three branches have female...

When does week one of flowering begin? When you switch to 12/12? When you see the 1st sign of white hairs? Or when flowers & buds start to form? I'm asking because I'm interested in about when they'll be ready for harvest.

Is this the beginnings of a flower or is it just new leaf growth? I ask because this is the 1st time that I've seen growth from a top. Thanks!

The plants are at Day 22 and was wondering if it's too early to till from these photos if they're girls or boys? Most state that it takes two weeks into flowering before sexing, so then at this stage they're either?

I noticed this morning that some of the roots have turned green and I don't know if this is normal or not. I'm using Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow along with Cal-Mag+ and Liquid Karma. This is happening on both plants, but mostly on the smaller one that has had leaves turning yellow with...

I'm growing White Widow in a hydro system and was wondering what the avg height will be over a 5 week veg? 12" 18" 24"????? Just looking for an avg. Many thanks!!

I'm using the Multi Spectrum 315 Watt CFL Light Bank with three 85W bulbs, totaling 255W and was wondering if anyone has grow with this reflector? If so, how was it? Thanks! http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=120&xSec=3&jssCart=9534d1aaba090b298928144fd5f33dd1
