FEEL FREE TO ASK ME QUESTIONS AND GIVE ADVICE!!! THIS FORUM WAS MADE TO EXCHANGE IDEAS AND THOUGHTS AND I WANT TO USE IT LIKE THAT. ANYTHING THAT I FIND WORKS I WILL TELL YOU! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVE ME WRONG OR RIGHT AND GIVE SOME GOOD EVIDENCE! THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY WILL ONE DAY BLOOM AND WE NEED TO INFORM THE PEOPLE OF HOW IT IS DONE RIGHT!
I am a horticulture major in university. I grow legally with my brother who has his medical card for chronic pain. I have been growing since winter time 2009, starting in my dorm, transporting from house to house. I have finally stabilized a bit, and feel like I have enough knowledge to give some support to anybody out there. It is great that I can take classes and have many difficult questions of cannabis growers so easily solved. Spider Mites for instance are much easier to combat than one thinks. Water practically kills them, for several reasons. One they thrive in HOT and DRY conditions, two a fungus grows on them and kills them in wet conditions. So if you ever get spider mites (like I did) try spraying your plants down with water for a few days (I never tried). Sorry needed to get that tidbit out there.

Okay here is the deal. Just got a a nice setup built. Two rooms; flowering: 9x12 vegetative 12x12. I am doing a lot more than just vegging in the vegetative room. Mixing soil, nutrients, basically anything I need to get done. I am going to call today Sunday 6th November 2011 Day 1.
Summer harvest:
Grew 4 plants to maturity this outdoor season.
Shiva skunk- serious seeds
Meekong High- Dutch Passion
Armageddon- Not Sure
Giga bud- G13 labs
The meekong, armageddon, and shiva were started early last spring or even late winter. They were trained hardcore. Shiva was LST'd, the others just topped a bunch. The shiva was put out at about a foot high and a foot wide. BUSHY. Two meekongs were about 1.5 feet and a little less bushier. armageddon was similiar in size to the shiva, a bit more compact. The giga was put out a little while later and wasnt started super early. Armegeddon got fucked and I think it was sun shock or some bs. Hurricane Irene fucked gigabud. But I ended up with about a 10x10 area of just bush. It looked like at least 10-15 plants. I used no nutes and barely even watered them (only when really needed). Final yields: Shiva: ~6-7 ounces. I dont know exact because I left a bunch on the plant and still havent trimmed and jarred it yet. Meekong: ~4-5 ounces. Armageddon: ~1 ounce (got fucked) Giga: ~1 ounce of very leafy and unproduced bud.
The shiva really grew exactly how I wanted it. Needed a bunch of topping but I wanted to keep it under 5-6 feet. Need to conquer the bud rot next year, thinking of using a high-tunnel/patio shade like system. I mean high-quality greenhouse fabric used like a patio shade (due to the shape of my growing area).

Seeds planted today: 5 AK autoflowering seeds from the joint doctors short stuff.
All were pre-germed in paper towel and the radical emerged about 1/4"-1/2" from the seed.
So far for lights I have two 105watt CFLs at 6000? kelvin (not exactly sure but its great for veg)
Used pure roots soil in small pots. Pure water as well.
The seed package says 10 weeks from seed, january 15th...we will see. Also have heard yield is ~1 ounce per plant...we will see.

Got some pretty great sounding freebies. CH9 Female Afghan Haze 33; Reserva Privada Confidential Cheese Fem (looking forward to this); and Dinafem Blue Hash.
