    Rooting nodes through Low Stress Training (LST)

    Hey fellow hobbyists!:idea: Knowing that you can root cuttings from your favorite strain of cannabis, I am thinking that you can also LST (LowStressTrain) a stem or more from a single plant into neighboring homemade self-contained growing boxes (AKA earthbox) and pin it down to the potting mix...

    bonzai of marijuana!

    :blsmoke:I've got someting like that growing now. Only it's more like a Topiary. A 1 1/2" diameter, 2 foot tall stem with a bush growing on top of it. More of a necessity than a plan. The lower stems and leaves died off from lack of light and I just cut them off at the stem. Looks pretty...

    A little help please

    :eyesmoke:Flourescent lighting is great for starting seedlings and rooting clones. But, the intensity of flourescent lights is not enough to grow a healthy amount of bud. I have heard of people growing bud from flourescent lights. But, I can't imagine them getting much for their efforts. I...

    A little help please

    :eyesmoke:I'm assuming you are growing in soil. And for that I'm not sure. I grow in a homemade aero-hydroponic system which is much different.:sleep:

    :eyesmoke:Potency will be higher in a plant that is 4 months or more older (before the blooming phase) when grown from seed. However, a clone taken from a mother plant of four months or older will not increase in potency when grown longer on an 18/6 cycle. :eyesmoke:Don't cut off any leaves...

    A little help please

    :eyesmoke:Also, if you are growing from a healthy clone straight to bloom. Go with HPS (High Pressure Sodium) lighting all the way. This lighting mimics the fall sun and will grow larger buds than MH(Metal Halide) light bulbs. MH light bulbs are for vegetative growth and are more for keeping...

    A little help please

    :wall:And for future indoor grows, start your 12/12 lighting when the plant is only 6 to 12 inches tall. That plant will still grow another 2 feet or more during the blooming phase depending on the strain of MJ you are growing.:sleep:

    A little help please

    :peace::eyesmoke:Reducing the hours of light was the right move. But try 12 hours a day and the other 12 hours must be in total darkness. Any light, even dim light, will keep the plant in a vegetative state rather than a blooming state. It will take a couple weeks before you will notice a...

    Large white seed found in main stem?

    :sleep:Hey guys! Iv'e been following this thread and have been quite entertained. I would like to share my theory of "The Mysterious Seed". A rodent, bird or maybe a bug placed the foreign seed onto the plant for safe keeping. The seed may have been wedged into the crook or the stem was slightly...

    Need plans for very cheap automated diy hydro/aeroponics

    I suggest buying the book "How-to Hydroponics". You can find it on Amazon.com for under $20. This book has most of what you need to know on growing Hydro/Aero and includes several DIY plans complete with parts lists. I built a double bucket Aerospring for my first grow. It cost me about 50 bucks...

    18" to 22" megabud weight

    Okay, maybe my question wasn't appropriate. I'll try to reword it. First, assuming that I understand the difference between harvest weight and dry weight, and that 28 grams equals exactly 1 ounce. Can some of you experienced growers out there give me some examples of the biggest bud you ever...

    18" to 22" megabud weight

    If I were to follow this book I've been reading on hydroponic marijuana and actually produced 18" to 22" megabuds, as claimed in the book, how much could I expect an 18" to 22" freshly harvested bud to weigh?:blsmoke:
