    Are Boosters and Additives Really Necessary?

    That is what I was thinking. If the old timers, aka me, and a few others, are all using soil, and lord knows we should have a tolerance by now, and we are all old and decrepit, so we really have a lot of pain to kill, and we do love that great soil taste, and ease of growth, then why not try...

    Smoke N Grow nutes versus Jack's Professional

    I've been a Rick lover since way back when I had a 4001 stereo, with 400w and 2-18's on the neck, and 250w w/8-12's on the bridge pickup. Any sound you could want, and it would make pictures FLY off the wall, LOL! God I miss that axe!

    Smoke N Grow nutes versus Jack's Professional

    Hell Yeah! I have a good friend in Oklahoma, that told me he sent a message on Frank Marino's myspace page, and he himself answered. They had a bit of conversation. Looks like even the old famous folks are getting more laid back in their old age, I know I am, Old and laid back that is, not...

    How To LST (Low Stress Training)

    OK, here is this same cage, about 3-4 weeks into flowering. I just took each tip, and as it grew upward, I wound them up in the cage wire. Makes a nice flat budding surface, with loads of Budsites. I am using a single 330W Philips Ceramic Metal Halide, with a homemade aluminium conical...

    How to Read your Plants?

    Thanks for this thread RiddleMe, I use plant behavior as a means of telling what is going on. I say "behavior" because, if you watch your plants over time, after various stimuli, you will begin to see their behavior. Just like RiddleMe does when "Making it rain", watching the relaxed look when...

    Balls to the Wall grow, Riddleme Gets Serious

    Wow, Just read this whole thread, took a while, lol. It was great, and confirms my independently discovered theory that "Old Skool" grow/cure methods, and really healthy plants produce sweet bad ass buds, and lots of em! Now to go pick some bluegrass and bong myself to sleep. Came from this...

    Calling All Noob Growers

    Plus, i really like to take my plants up through a series of smaller pots, allowing it to get very near root bound in each. This seems to promote more growth of root fibers, because each one cannot just keep growing in a small pot. again, I grow in no hurry, but I get great smoke. I never have...

    Calling All Noob Growers

    Hey, I know a dude named Homer, great guy. Anyway, yes, the ph thing is a good note. I never notice partially due to a lame ph tester, and the fact that I already have so much crap in the mix who knows what. I do an organic mix, with just a bit of muriatic acid to bring the ph down to somewhere...

    Calling All Noob Growers

    I totally agree with the molasses, and I also came to many of the same realizations, in much the same way riddle did. I grow in a very similar way. I say slow down, feed well, get to know the plant, and treat it the way it wants to be treated, yes, emotionally too, and you will get the finest...

    Calling All Noob Growers

    I wanted to comment that i just pulled a couple buds from lower branches, and found a couple hermie seeds, they were green, so I plopped one in soil, watered it, and in a few days i have a plant up, eveb before harvest of the parent..... so it really is not that picky..

    harvesting hermaphrodite plants?

    I have grown lots of hermies, and made a few. You can cause hermie pollen pods, (Bananas), by stressing, and light cycle stress seems the best to cause it. You can pull off the pods, daily, and you will normally get a few seeds on the bottom flowers, and seedless top buds. Most strains do...
