actually did something like this before with great results but didnt know it had a technical name just thought it seemed like a good idea. I started a few plants in an old abandoned junk yard with piles of old tires and various other large pieces of garbage laying around and used what I could...

not an old school tale. cows and people are far different from pot plants, spray a plant under a 1000 W hps and see if it doesnt leave burn spots. The dropplets magnify the light much like a magnifying glass would, works the same under the sun as well. No point in arguing though, I learned my...

just noticed you said its your 6th grow so u probably know all that by now but just incase.....

are you doing any kind of foliar feeding or spraying for bugs with your lights on? could be burn spots from the lights, you wouldnt beleive how much damage can be caused by spraying your plants while under direct light.. Im assuming your growing indoors but you didnt specify. same rule applies...

from my experience if you plant you seeds towards the end of winter and let them come up naturally when it starts to warm up they seem better "acclimated" and can handle a frost much better than plants that havent been out in the cold and then get hit with a frost. I usually start my seeds in...

never grown cheese personally but ive seen some locally grown from a couple different sources and imo it has the best bag appeal hands down of anything ive ever seen. I dont grow to sell, its purely for my own personal consumption and that of my disabled mother but who doesnt like a sack you...

best advice is to read as much as you can on here, start in the newbie forum with the sticky's and go from there. use the search feature, all your questions have been answered many times you just have to do some reading and searching to find it. Once you have a good understanding of the basics...

You said you were going to use big bloom at first and had yet to decide what to use for flowering??? correct me if im wrong but big bloom is a flowering fertilizer and probably shouldnt be started until you plants start to bud and should be mixed with a grow nutrient in a diluted solution for...

as far as yield, I honestly didnt notice much difference. Just different sized buds. Naturally grown plants will have one massive cola that from my experience usually equals about half the total dry weight of the plant while topping will give you lots and lots of smaller more uniform buds. It...

Ive had bad luck topping. I live in an area frequented by severe thunderstorms with 60+ mph winds and while my plants are in a fairly wind shielded area, All my topped plants ended up splitting in half at the first place I topped them while the ones I let grow naturally held up fine. I bandaged...

night time temps of 45 wouldn't hurt it as much as you moving it in and out everyday and stressing the shit out of it. As long as its not gonna frost outside I say leave her out imo. and i'd say its "stretching" more than growing under the one 23W cfl ur using

I'd make sure it says its safe to use on veggies, if its ok for you to eat then its probably gonna be ok for ur weed. just dont spray them on a hot sunny day or you'll have burn spots instead of holes. Neem seems to take care of everything in my area and I only spray in the evening.

Read as much as you can on this site, use the search feature or search riu through google. I bet most of your questions have already been answered on here about a million times you just gotta do some reading. Ur not gonna become a pro over night. there's no quick way for anyone to tell you what...
