    going from 18-6

    I am new to indoor vegging and still trying to smooth out the bumps. I've been vegging my mothers, clones, and seedlings under a 400w MH at 18-6. I want to move some of them outside. Will they start flowering from the light difference, going from 18-6 indoor to 14-10 outdoor? What is the best...

    Fluffy Oak Compost

    Its just that the soil that I have at my planting site is mostly clay. And I am thinking about importing a couple of yards of the oak compost to fill the holes with. After I amend it with the perlite, coir, castings and whatever else works well. Maybe some rabbit poo? I've heard that It doesn't...

    Fluffy Oak Compost

    I appreciate the input. I do have a compost pile that I put all yard and kitchen waste in, as well as the manure from my chicken coop, that has 8 hens in it.

    Fluffy Oak Compost

    Isn't it already composted? It looks like what you find in a bag of compost from the nursery. Its been sitting there for god knows how long.

    Fluffy Oak Compost

    Im wondering if anybody knows what the ph is on composted oak leaves? Is it too acidic or too alkaline for pot? I was picking chanterelles, and while walking, my feet sunk up to my calves in this moist, spongy, dark brown earth. I grabbed a handfull and it looked like it would be perfect to grow...

    Hermie Seeds

    Is there any reason not to use seeds produced from a hermie plant? I started two white widow plants from seed. I was hoping to get a male and a female to produce some seeds, but they are both female with nuts. Now I'm hoping to use the seeds for next years grow. Since the plants turned hermie...

    FLowering plant starting to get black bud! HELP (PICS)

    I've got similar problem. It's worms. Look in the affected flowers all around. You will probably see little worm droppings or even a little caterpillar. A lot of us outdoor growers on west coast are getting hit. From what I've heard they come every year and wipe out gardens from Mexico to Canada.

    First grow early harvest pics

    Y Yeah, I put her out there last night. The caterpilars started as eggs. I posted a thread asking for suggestions and ended up using a "tobbacco tea" Which did help. There would have been 10 times as many had I not sprayed with the tea. The caterpilars work their way to the center of the bud...

    First grow early harvest pics

    These pics were taken about half an hour ago. Dry weight? Your guess is as good as mine. I havn't weighed it wet yet. I grew in 10 gls. of soil under the beautiful sun, using a lot of organic compost teas and guano teas for the flower phase.

    First grow early harvest pics

    I started harvesting this early because some caterpilars got into some of the buds on this plant, and made some moldy spots. Can I stop at this point and put it back outside? I've cut off about half of the branches. And got all of the mold and caterpilars off, I hope. I LST'ed this plant, and...

    Good deal?

    What do you think about getting into the aero system for a beginer? I've read that it is a lot more tempermental as compared to an ebb and flow or other techniques. Clogged sprayers and fluctuating ph levels. Any thoughts?

    Good deal?

    He wants to sell it all as a package and has come down to $500. I asked and he would rather not split it up. Value wise, I think it is good for my needs. Thank you for the replies.
