Lots of reasons...too old to be chasing down bags, it's too expensive...but mostly because I just love growing. Anything, really. My house is filled with plants, I have a vegetable garden, and I even hatch chickens and quail as a hobby. I think I just like nurturing things but I don't want...

Cover them with a cardboard box - works in my garden for all my veggies.

Not much of an update other than pics. There haven't been any definitive signs of sex with the 2 remaining bag seed plants yet. I'm thinking I'm seeing a few hairs, but it might just be foliage growth. Dunno. I'll have to wait a few more days I guess. So I just been truckin' along, watering...

They look really nice, Evil. Good and green. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the biggest concern about stem rot is when the soil around the stem stays too wet. My problem was I didn't bury my seeds near deep enough and they all sprouted and shot up within a couple of days...

Hey Sam - I've got 4 300watt and 4 75watt - they're all 2700K. I never had any 6400's going because when I started I didn't realize there was a difference. Heh. It's worked out though I guess. --- Two of the bag seed plants showed themselves as male this morning. I promptly pulled them...

When I was 16 (many years ago) I was walking down a country road with a friend. We had just smoked a J and I had another behind my ear. So we're just walking along talking and smoking cigarettes and blazed out of our minds. My dad comes driving by and stops to talk to us. I was so high I forgot...

Another vote for read, read, read. I would start with some of the stickied topics in the various forums, they usually hold the best information. Also, looking at posts, check the signature lines of some of the 'Masters' - they often have links to the most asked for information. I spent a good...

They taste exactly like chicken eggs - even better cuz they're fresh and I don't medicate or 'roid up the birds. After they hatch, I keep them until I can sex them and then pick my favorite females and sell the rest. Here's some pics of what they can look like grown. This particular breed is...

Nah, just a girl with a hobby. I don't have room for chickens, so I grow quail. The eggs are small, but we don't eat many so it works out. Quail incubate 17-18 days and are pretty predictable for hatching, to the day anyway. You can't really pinpoint a time. I've hatched lots and its rare for...

I topped mine at 5-6 inches at the 4th or 5th node just in the last 2 weeks. But I'm a total noob and could be doing it all wrong. But they look good and I'm getting much more side growth so maybe I got lucky. Pics in my grow journal if you want to see the before and afters.

I had a little surprise when I woke up this morning. I've got 15 quail eggs incubating in my grow room and they're not due to hatch until tomorrow but this little one made an early appearance. I've been trying to think of a name but I thought it would be more fun if RIU could help. I'm hoping...

Looks like we're on a very similar path with budget, space and experience. I wouldn't worry too much about the scrawny stems. When you transplant, just bury them a little deeper and they seem to work out all right. I did the same thing and now at 3.5 weeks they're the size of AA batteries. Lots...

Not much to report other than a lot of growth. I topped everyone in the box except a Blue Cheese that is still only about 5 inches tall but really wide and bushy. The box is so crowded I can't wait for them to start showing some sex so I can thro out the boys and the girls can have their light...

Got busy the other day and forgot to update. Day 21: I set the girls on a 12/12 at 21 days and topped one of the White Widows. Four days later and so far so good. I'm starting to think I should top the other before it's too late. Can it be too late? When is too late? Day 22: Got 4 more...

Depends on what I'm trying to remember. I love to get high and sit and read heavy shit like cultural or history studies and I retain it better than reading it sober. But I can take a break from that very same reading session to go get a notepad and forget what I'm after before ever getting to...

Bought the book last night and can't wait for it to get here. Even paid the xtra to get it fast. I'm on day 21 of my CFL grow, also my first solo grow, plants are about 5-6 inches tall and bushy as hell. Started the 12/12 flower cycle last night and really pissed off the boyfriend. He's...

Got some pics of the stalks on the White Widows and set them to go on their first dark cycle (12/12) at midnight tonight. Can't wait to see how they respond over the next few days. Read a couple of really good threads on scrogs and training...but still not sure of the best way to use the small...

Today was transplant day - time to move the ladies to bigger bags for flowering. I invested a wee bit o cash in getting some FoxFarm soil to transplant into, for most of them anyway. I left a few growing in MG just so I could compare results, mostly because I didn't have enough cash to buy...

Hey Nug - Yeah, the HPS is from HTG. We got it like a year ago but it's basically worthless to us because of the heat problems. The only spot in the house we can grow is also the warmest, sitting right between the water heater and the furnace. We cut ventilation holes and put in/out fans to the...

I just spent more than half my damn day reading these threads: Advantage Vs Disadvantage CFL's and CFL Proximity to Foliage from start to finish and shot my entire day all to hell, but I learned a helluvalot. I took a break half way through to do some moderate changes to the box after learning a...
