Your bugs might be thrips. They are sap sucking insects that will leave little spots on the leaves where they feed. They also spend some time in the soil and eventually mature into flying bugs, plus they run around pretty quickly... I would google "thrips" and see if that's what you have. If...

I use Botanicare Pure Blend Pro. For veg there are three components... for flowering I use 5. Each component (in the size container I buy) costs $20. So I look at $100 when I have to fully re-up. But that amount of fertilizer will last for very long time... at least 3 harvests depending on...

If it was a snake it would have bit me. Ok, so random bagseed. It's my opinion that if you're willing to put the time in to grow the right way (which it looks like you are) you don't want to waste that effort on poor genetics. I recently came across a seed from some VERY nice genetics and...

oh, and if you don't want to buy mylar or paint the walls you can also use the reflective insulation sold at Lowe's. http://www.lowes.com/SearchCatalogDisplay?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&N=0&newSearch=true&Ntt=reflective+insulation&x=0&y=0 It's what I put on the inside of my grow...

you can use cfls and get a decent veg cycle out of them... though you will have much better results from a veg specific (blue spectrum) cfl. i've gone to home depot and purchased full spectrum cfl's and has some success with them in normal light fixtures. for seedling and clones especially...

Oh, and to answer your question about the pics you posted previously... your blooms do look to be a bit leafy. They look like healthy blooms, though so I'm guessing the reasoning is mostly genetic. Feeding the plant nutrients specific to leaf growth will indeed help the leaf growth but as...

haha, I hear ya brother. Well, if you took any cuttings of these plants I think you would find some more speedy blooms. 6 weeks of veg is enough for the plant to get mature enough to flower but you will always get larger stronger buds from older plants. If you were to veg it for, lets say, 12...

Nice looking plants. :) How old are they? I mean, how old in total, not just in the flowering stage... Did you take any clones?

The plant in pic 2 was topped a few weeks ago. It grows super tightly packed so it's hard to tell. :)

So, I've been quiet on here for a while now but I wanted to share with all of you how my little family has been growing. Through random seeds found in different bags I've put together an assortment of 3 different kinds of plants. From the pictures you can see the main two... I'm guessing the...

Nope! :-D The carbon really does the trick... behind the wall where the plants are it certainly smells very herby, but in the rest of the basements it as fresh as it's ever been. :-)

....and a couple more... I wear a size 9

more pics...

otwa, nice looking setup.... what i can see of it! pictures are kinda small. ok, so here's an update. the old carbon filter i tried to make from the dish towel and activated carbon didn't want to fit in my HVAC ducting so I sorta did a hybrid of a couple of designs I've seen on here. I made...

Ok, now this is completely unrelated and therefore should probably go in another section but I felt like sharing my outdoor garden area with you as well.... mind you, there is nothing but good old fashioned vegetables and herbs growing out here!! In the first picture you can see my rosemary...
