Well, time for another update. My oldest set of girls are just a few days away from harvest now and are looking wonderful. Can't wait to see how they came out! My next set of girls decided to give me another headache though. The one that had the light dropped on it now has itself a case...

Never got to see him in concert, but I sure listened to a lot of his stuff back in the 70's and 80's. He was never as high on my list as Maiden or Priest, but he definately ranked ahead of all the damn glam metal bands like poison and ratt that seemed to get all the air play.

Ahh, ok. That makes sense. :) I used your trimming method on my first harvest and it worked fine, but the clippings ended up molding before my sis got around to making anything out of them. Since the stuff was just going to waste I was thinking about trying the "no trim" method some of our...

Fdd, I'm sure you probably already covered this, but I can't find the exact post. What is the point of cutting all the leaf material you can get at off if the leaves have trichomes on them? If you aren't planning to use the small clippings for cooking or hash making wouldn't it make sense to...

Ok, let me make sure I've got this right. You're saying that running two 300w cfls is costing you the equivelant of $65 (assuming an exchange rate of 1.50 pounds = $1) a month? Either your electrical rates are outrageous, or you're making an error in your calculations. I run a 600w 12...

Heat isn't the only issue you have to think about. Contrary to popular belief it IS possible to give plants too much light, or actually i should say that it's possible to have the light intensity too high, which will create all the symptoms of heat stress even if though the temperature itself...

50k huh? That right there opens the bill to a legal challenge that will probably kill it. There are already rules on the books that deny he government the right to charge exorbitant licensing fee's that limit peoples ability to engage in a business, and with a 50k price tag I doubt any...

Blaze, How do you decide how much of the lower growth to cut off the plant? And do you do all of it prior to putting the plant into flowering, or do you continue to cut off any new growth or popcorn buds that sprout on the lower stem all the way through flowering?

I might as well. My oldest vegging plant has been in there for nearly two months and is pretty close to three foot currently, so it's not like I don't have plenty of growth to take clones from. Btw, if you happen to want to grow blueberry once you're set up in the new place let me know and...

Ok, update time again. My flowering room is starting to look like a flipping forest! I have 8 plants in there currently and there isn't a chance I could fit another under my light. I barely got them to fit as it is, and only by accepting that some of them were going to have marginal light...

Not yet. Was actually thinking about trying that method with the next set I take. Here's a thought though- if splitting the stem works, wouldn't a double split (i.e two bisecting cuts) work even better?

Riddle, Not sure what you mean by root spin out. You spend a lot more time reading the scientific stuff then i do, so sometimes I'm not up on the terminology. :) Had a nice trip over to Paulino gardens today and picked up the Jacks general purpose to add to my nute mix. I've partially...

Chip, It's very easy to overwater a young plant, so you need to be pretty careful at this point. They really don't need a whole lot of water at this point in their lives, and will be fairly susceptible to being drowned until they are about 2-3 weeks into vegging and get to be about 12" tall...

Generally 1 tablespoon per gallon, but some people give more. Just a note though-flushing is not necessary, and really won't have any effect on how your bud tastes. The taste is all in the drying and curing, and all flushing does is deprive your plant of needed nutrients when it's in the most...

Depends on your rooms size and normal temp range. If you have a wide open space (like a 10x10 bedroom) and the outside temp stays under 70 you shouldn't have any problems, but a closet grow or average outdoor temp ranges in the upper 70's or higher will result in heat issues really quickly. I...

If your looking for a quick and easy disposable pipe, just use a soda can. Dent in one side a bit, poke a few holes in it with a pin, put your pot over the holes, light, and inhale through the hole you normally drink from. You can even poke a hole in the side to act as a carburator. Only...

Moose, First off, 12/12 is the light cycle you use when you are ready to flower. At this point you want the light cycle to be 18/6 or better so the plant will grow. Nutrients- if you started with good quality potting soil the plants shouldn't need any nutrients for the first 3-4 weeks. I...

Flushing is not necessary. Contrary to what many people will tell you, the taste has very little do with whether or not you flushed and everything to do with how you dried and cured the buds once you chopped it. The closest i come to a pre harvest flush is to give them a good drink of pure water...

Ok, here my take on drying and curing, since we're on that topic. I use my basement as my drying area, and instead of running strings all over the place I just stacked up 2 sets of box about 4 feet apart and 5 ft tall and set an open plastic baby/pet gate over the top of them. Instant hanging...

Riddle, I agree that it's easy to overwater seedlings and that putting thems straight into a 5 gallon pot isn't a really good idea, but my experience with 3-5 inch clones has shown that once a plant has a decent set of small roots going (i.e. several long enough to stick out of the rapid...
