I can see the potential benefit from a few hour water soak, but can I ask whats the reason for the paper towel? I've always wondered that. While I may be new to growing this particular plant, I'm no stranger when it comes to horticulture. So long as I'm not growing a plant that has very specific...

Hey guys! So I've got this beautiful 8 week old Trainwreck (GHSC) vegging in a five gallon bubble bucket. The plant is quite impressive (by my standards, you old pros might have a different opinion), and I am VERY pleased with my first growing experience. Perhaps I'll throw a pic up and you...

Those fans are really that bad? Is it just the noise (unless it sounds like a damn lawnmower, noise won't be an issue), or are they simply inefficient? Deep down I know I should be looking at proper exhaust fans, it's just I've already got a lot tied up in this and funds are low at the moment...

So after months of planning and hundreds spent I finally got my first grow underway, 1 SSH, 1 LSD, and 1 Trainwreck. All three beans popped without issue (two in soil and one in rockwool for hydro) and so I put them in my grow tent (78"X78"X78") under my 600W MH set at 50% power. I know I need...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I heard back from them today and the lady was very nice about it, they're sending them out to me. Yea, I know better than to act like an ass about this kind of thing, I know it happens. The only thing that had me concerned was I had a bad experience with an...

Alright thanks guys. Good to know they are a good company to deal with, I feel much better now.

Seriously? They short me two seeds and now I'm going to have to spend MORE money with the company in order to get them?

I didn't see a vendor forum so I hope this is in the right place. I placed an order with them and received my seeds today. Unfortunately my "pick n mix" part of the order was messed up, I order two SSH and two Trainwreck but received only one of each. I'm pretty disappointed to say the least...

Racer, I glanced through Clarke's book and I can tell its a good read. It looks to be the best book I've found so far on the genetics/breeding of cannabis. Good stuff!

I was surprised not too many people here have good things to say about Cervantes, I learned a lot from him when marijuana cultivation first piqued my interest some years back. Cervantes' Marijuana Horticulture was a great book I thought. Thanks for the suggestion Racer, I'm going to download...

Heh, yea organic chemistry is no joke, I'm half way to my bachelors. This was the most grueling two years I've experienced in my education thus far. As for the books thread, books I'd recommend, Hydroponics: A Practical Guide for the Soilless Grower by J Benton Jones immediately comes to mind...

I feel cheated, I looked up reviews of the book before purchasing it. Here I thought I was spend $60 on the only reference to growing pot I would ever need, instead I got this garbage. Yes, I want to warn others, and sure, there are tons of poorly written books out there, and I've posted...

I guess there are others who are displeased with the book, I just found this post. The poster quickly highlights some of the bad information, but trust me there is more than that in the book...

Not to get too off topic, but I originally had plans of getting into the field of microbiology. It is truly an amazing discipline! The book sounds great, and you're spot on, we need a thread that highlights useful books, that's an absolutely brilliant idea.

I never claimed to have experience with marijuana, you might want to read my post over again as I actually said I never so much as popped a single bean. It's always nice to have a reference book in any hobby you undertake, especially those of a scientific nature.

Absolutely, the knowledge is out there and free for everyone. Cervantes' books may not be as relevant as they used to be (just as Otto Snow's books on clandestine chemistry are no longer as relevant), but at-least they were well thought out and held viable information. There was a level of...

Yea, Cervantes is a fantastic writer. There's nothing wrong with not taking a college writing course, unless of course you plan on writing a book and don't have an innate skill for said activity. The problem I have with this, is now that marijuana is becoming more and more socially...

Okay, so I'm preparing for my first grow, but I've been growing ethnobotanicals and exotic plants both organically and hydroponically for over a decade. I've also been reading and compiling information on the subject of marijuana cultivation for years now. I made the mistake of purchasing Ryan...

Hey guys! I find myself preparing for my first grow. I don't particularly smoke a lot these days due to heart valve problems (bit too much of an interest/obsession with organic chemistry and following in the footsteps of the good Dr. Shulgin...paying dearly for it now.), but I've always held a...
