ok, first off- feminized seeds have a 90% chance of producing a female plant, but every so often a male or (more likely) a hermie will creep in. Second, you can't sex the plant without flowering it, because it's about 2-3 weeks into flowering before it shows the characteristics that allow you to...

Umm, What topping technique are you using? I've never heard of one in which the fan leaves became main colas. If your talking about fimming, you won't see the results on the new growth you clipped itself. What you will see is that the nodes below it suddenly put out a new set of branches (not...

I'm more likely to sell to other patients then i am to the dispensaries. Most of the one's around me aren't interested unless you've got those tight ass buds that only a 1000 watts or better is going to produce. I shared a bowl of the results from my last grow with a guy I know at one of the...

Depends on what traits you are looking for out of your plants. I personally clone off the plants that have rooted the fastest and had the most impressive growth. Note, that doesn't necessarily mean the tallest plant. I'll pick a really bushy plant thats a bit shorter over a taller plant that...

Ok, based on the sizes your plants are aleady at i think you are going to discover that your light isn't going to cover them well enough during flowering. My plants go into flowering at around 24" and my 600w can barely cover enough area for 6 of them at a time (which is why I'm going to be...

I agree with Meetzu. For seedlings you really don't need an HID light, and you definately don't want it that close. I use a 400w for vegging myself, and have found that anything less then 20" causes problems for my girls until they are at least 3-4 weeks old. The advice you heard about 3-4...

Cutting fan leaves is never a good idea. I think this mistake occurs because people confuse removing fan leaves with removing lower growth to promote upper growth development. When you remove lower growth what you are removing is entire branches, not individual leaves. The idea is that those...

North, Grow your own and medical grade MJ costs you less then $100 an oz. My last grow turned into a complete disaster after i get hit by spider mites in week 1 of flowering, but i still ended up with a cost of only $135/oz even though i yielded less then 1/2 of what I should have. If the...

Well, your definately going to want to go with something thats indica dominant, but as to the specific strain thats a tough call. Your only going to fit one plant into a space that size and given the height limitations your probably going to want to do a screen of green set up, so pretty much...

Depends on what phase of the plants life cycle it's in. It's not a bad ratio for vegging, but it won't do you much good for flowering when you need higher P and K levels. I personally use dyna grow (7-9-5) from the last week of vegging ( I don't give nutes before then because the potting soil...

I pop my clones straight into 5 gallon pots, though I have also used 3.5 gallon on smaller (under 3 ft) plants without a problem. As for nutes, your going to find almost as many answer as there are growers. The best advice i can give you to avoid the hype and always remember that you DO NOT...

Somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 oz a week, depending on quality and how fast the stuff burns. Nothing I hate more then filling a bowl, taking 2-3 hits, and having nothing but ash left. And sure, there are some days that I don't "wake and bake", but they are rarely days where I'm going to be...

MZ, I already have problems keeping it under 85 with the 600w, and that's just going to get worse as the days get longer and warmer. The room starts off cool in the morning, but as my house starts aborbing heat it creeps up until it's in the mid 80's by 2pm, and hitting 90 for a few hours a...

Ok, I've got it now. I just didn't realize tha putting them into heavy shade would block enough light to cause them to flower early. What can I say, I don't grow outdoors. :)

Riddle, Ok, that make sense, but wouldn't that mean that you planned to move the plants indoors eventually? Call me silly, but how do you go about moving several 3+foot Cannabis plants from a clearing in the woods to an indoor location without anybody noticing? Wouldn't it be easier (and...

Hehe, Guess I'll go ahead and post my update now. I was going to do it yesterday, but held off because i was supposed to have a new set of pictures ready to post by last night. As usual the camerman forgot to send them, so I guess I'll post them whenever they finally show up in my email...

Moussa, I took a look at your grow journal, and I'm a bit confused. You say you're going to be using a clearing to grow in, but you're also talking as if you're going to be growing in pots. There's no reason why you can't use pots, but I always thought that most outdoor growers just spaded...

Wish I could help, but I'm a soil grower. You might have more luck if you post over in the hydro or nutrients forums, since your more likely to have the people with the answers you need see the thread.

Nice grow, though you sure do seem to have an awful lot of equipment for the number of plants your growing. You get good results, but are they really worth all the extra expense when your only growing a couple of plants at a time?

Thanks Riddle, Got an off topic question- Is there any way to get the website to keep you logged in for more then 15 minutes at a pop? I'm getting a bit tired of having the site log me out while I'm in the middle of typing a response. :)
