    Seed recommendation sought

    Thanks for the tips. Girly, I think I'll check out the Chemo - but I'll ask the shop assistants if they have any similar recommendations.!!

    Hey all, I am looking to start my second grow in a a couple of weeks, and want some recommendations for what seeds to get. I am looking for the following things: 1. Indoor, soil - friendly 2. low odour 3. short, stout plants preferable to tall ones To be honest, I am...

    1st Grow - Soil, Closet

    Thanks for the pat on the back. The yield is not too much of a problem (really) because I am only growing for my own use and that much will last me a couple of months anyway. For me, the purpose of this grow was to figure out what I needed to do - and I did everything wrong, but still limped...

    1st Grow - Soil, Closet

    1 week air dried (hanging upside down in my grow closet) and I've trimmed off all of the leaves. I was left with a little over 1 oz of dense-bud which I have transferred to a mason jar to continue the process. Tasting notes, for those of you considering growing the strain (Columbian Gold)...

    1st Grow - Soil, Closet

    Well, with mixed feelings I took the knife to the girls today, ending the first phase of our relationship. The next phase - where I grind them up and set them on fire - will begin after about 1-2 weeks curing. Here's a picture of the largest of the 3 main colas: Here's a picture of the...

    i need a pipe

    I've made some great fun bongs out of Bellywashers drinks. There are a number of collectible tops you can get BellyWashers®: The Crew; although I favour the stoner-friendly Scooby Doo series: I use a torch lighter to burn a small hole in the side and slip a pipe stem in (the warm...

    1st Grow - Soil, Closet

    I'm a little puzzled because in the 2d plant, it looks like some of the trichs are amber and the rest are clear, with no cloudy ones. If the continuum is clear-cloudy-amber, I would have expected lots of cloudy ones too. I'm not disappointed with the result, just puzzled by it. Since the...

    What colour are my trichromes?

    I broke down and bought one of those mini-microscopes ($15 Cdn at Radio Shack/Source by Circuit City) and tried to get some pictures of my trichrome colours. It was a bitch to get it in focus with the microscope, then again with the camera, so the pics are not perfect, but they seem to show...

    BCseedking sux's ASS

    I was quite happy with the customer service and speed of delivery, on my Purps + Mango order; HOWEVER, I am now 0/8 on trying to germinate the seeds (4 of each). Using the same method (paper towel, sealed in tupperware, kept warm) I went 4/4 on seeds I got from BC Seedbank. I will be trying...

    is 8 pounds good?

    That's the exact problem I'm going through now, after just 872 years at 18/6 lighting and high humidity. I think I'll throw it into flower next week. Better not be a male! Here's another pic of my babies - can't believe I went with the roof garden!

    1st Grow - Soil, Closet

    I'm not sure where you live, but here in Vancouver there are at least 50 stores that sell hydroponic supplies, and noone bothers to pretend that the equipment is for anything other than growing weed. Mylar, larger CFL lights and nutrients are pretty basic - everyone carries them. I forget...

    That's the plan - water only for the last 2 weeks, although I might add some carbo stuff to give them a little extra bump.

    1st Grow - Soil, Closet

    Grow Journal July 15/07 Update Flowering Day 31 Note on pics - I didn't use the flash for these pics because of the light from the CFL lamps - the pics look a lot prettier, but there is more shadow and some less detail. Back to flash next week. The Plants Main Buds looking good, big and...

    1st Grow - Soil, Closet

    July 7 update I had some problems with nitrogen/magnesium deficiency last week. I think it was caused primarily by the pots being so small I used up all nutes in the soil and failed to replace them all with the bloom fertilizer I was using. To fix the problem I repotted into larger pots...
