Sounds like you fixing to go into the SCROG business. Put the lights about 2 feet above the plant. No way it could grow that tall in a week to get too close. Invest in the timer like the man say. I have tried the 24/7 deal and have yet to meet a plant which seems to enjoy the experience. I'm...

Yeah what is a basement? I feel your pain. I think the Queen has better things to do than send black helicopters over your house with a FLIR gizmo. Save some of the obvious big bucks you got to compensate the Barrister if you happen to get bursted and the local constabulary give you a knock and...

Dittos to Racerboy. If you check your plants as frequent as I would guess you do, sure you pulled the males in time to avoid any unwanted pregnancies. The withdrawl method if you will. I would just be vigilant and when you see one with balls and or peckers get it out of there muy pronto. Also...

Sorry I aint up on the teeny bopper eubonics. All the folks on here are from Texas I think. Welcome. BW

Well gallon buckets will grow them 6' too if thats what is wanted. Seems dependent more on how big they they get in veg than in the size of the bucket. I grow in a pure mix of Turface Game Saver. Nine bucks for 50 pounds. Plug that into the budget as compared to Pearlite. It also dont float out...

Dittos to what Johnny said. Hempy Buckets is the only feasible way for dummies to grow dope. Would beg to differ with him only as to what can be bought at Wally World. Few things you can get from there but not much. Now they do have Miracle Grow Pearlite which is a weed killer. You will also...

The only time gnats show at my place is when I start playing around with Molasses. I can't tell they hurt anything. Can't we all just get along here? Leave the gnats alone. BW

Well mark my vote as against the pest strips. I bothered to call the factory and they highly recommend to not keep the strips in an enclosed area with food. Now I dont see why if a person not supposed to eat stuff exposed to poisonous fumes it would be helpful to suck it down your lungs in the...

I tried the old harvesting in 3rds deal on the last grow. Took about the top third at the mostly cloudy stage, waited a week and took the middle, one more week and took the bottom. That last batch o buds will slap the shit out of ya and make you want to go to bed and have happy thoughts. Plan...

Like to killed a batch of clones trying to use that stinky deodorized (my ass) Alaskan fish emulsion. Watered them twice with just a touch of the stuff. Still not sure they are going to make it. Turned the bottom leaves brown and crispy. Still a little green but not much. BW

Goodness I feel like such a felon. I thought as long as the seeds was souveniors they was ok. Swear hanging out on here is like going off to doper college. BW

First I heard of somebody bad mouthing Attitude. Perhaps the germing problem is with the particular strain. I got 10 AK 48 beans from them and left them in the original package for 90 days waiting for the weather to cool down a bit prior to starting them. Busted off 7 seeds in my Aerogarden then...

Say if the young man were to let the plant reach a point to harvest the seeds, or as pertains to other types of temporary growing for seed, how long would the residual pollen stay viable? Would it be a problem when trying to bloom future mothers in the same area? If so how long? Thanks. I may...

Well I haven't ever bothered to examine pistils too close but would take a wild guess as long as the plant looks healthy overall I wouldn't worry about it too much. If she goes into bloom and starts loading up on bud unaided just move her over under the big girl light. BW

Well all I see on the list which could pass for fertilizer is the bat and bird poop. Maybe the worm poo too. BW

You have a clear dome cover over the top to maintain moisture? If not they could be drying out. Do you spritz them with non nuted ph'd water 5 times a day? They can also get droopy from too much light. First few days I use just one or two 100 watt curly tail CFL's for a five plant batch...

I've tried about all the training techniques from LST to super cropping and have jumped onto the theory the darlings should be allowed to grow as they want. If you have a fan leaf shading out a bud site cut off half the leaf with scissors. I saw them following that technique on a big commercial...

Sounds like a good ratio as it sets to me. Just mix it up. Now make sure you have real Pearlite and not that weed killing garbage which Miracle Grow sells and is marked Pearlite but contains all kinds of poisonous plant foods. That is about the only brand available around here unless you want to...

Sure it's not the most rational way to approach the gender question. but once they get into flower I just look for peckers and scrotums. If I dont see none makes me jump to the conclusion they are females. I did not notice any indications of being male from the pics provided. Kewlish grow...

Great thread. Thanks to all who shared. I am fixing to move some clones to bloom tomorrow based on what was said here. Now I have never quite figured out the need for dedicated Mothers. Why not not just snag some new clones from the lower branches of the old clones prior to putting them into...
