    really newbish question please answer

    Look at Uncle Ben's post on 4 top plants......using the same technique on each of the 4 branches gives you 16 tops......very doable outside........I had one with around 30 colas..........I don't think more than that would have worked in my situation....but it looked like one of those blooming...

    really newbish question please answer

    if you just want to keep them bushy and short......just pinch the tips 2 or 3 times several weeks apart when it's healthy and growing, then you'll have a shrub instead of a tree... when you pinch them.....every node below the pinch will become a branch....you might even want to try FIM......

    really newbish question please answer

    you can top anytime during the veg state.....but I think it's best to stop a few weeks before starting bloom...... say mid August outdoors

    Just a question? Answer please

    The Garden Efficiency Calculator was a formula that took into account all lights, veg time, bloom time, and harvested weight to give you a # that was a converted % of 1 gram per watt......so a # like .95 was good.... Some claimed 1.4 but I won't swear to their honesty......around 1 seemed...

    Just a question? Answer please

    The basic measuring stick is 1 gram per watt for a decent grower..........sounds like you have everything you need to make that easily........so let me go to a calculator..... hmmm....that says 64 oz....or 4 lbs......more than that, you can teach, less than that, you could and should tinker a...

    2 Question I can't seem to locate a answer for new at this

    1) what he said 2) some plants don't appreciate revegging and some are badly shocked and don't make it........I think it has something to do with APD and RPD....absolute photo determinate and relative photo determinate...... I've had plants that you could go back and forth as much as you...

    Pcc offical update thread

    OK, it's a day early, but I don't expect to be in good shape tomorrow, so I took 3 of the clones in the 1" cubes and cut 4" cubes with a keyhole saw to fit the cups...the cuttings fill the bottoms and enough for the 3rd cup from the 1st 2. Anyway, they're in the cups and in the veg room...

    what the f*ckkkkkkk is with the paper towel stuff lol

    If you weren't born before my first attempt to grow(1976) and your opinion differs from mine, then it's Mr. Moron to you, thanks. OK, the book was written waaaayyyy back then......when dirt meant dirt.... half clay, half rock...all nasty with bacteria, mold and fungus....and the difference was...

    Rockwool Packaging?

    Not sure I'm clear on the question.........are you talking individually wrapped 1" or 2" going into a bigger block with cutout hole??? or say a 4" cube going onto a slab? Wherever the rockwool pieces touch, there shouldn't be packaging between.........but you can leave the plastic sleeve on...

    Best Places To Go - Online Shopping

    I'll pitch in my 2 cents on HTGSupply.com...........If you're just starting out and want a cheap light, check these guys out..... I found them through ebay. I got 2 400W HPS for $292 total including shipping..... The reflectors are cheap and cheesy...but for a starter light it's hard to beat...

    My first... could use some advise please

    We don't really get enough info to give an exact answer.............those spots on the leaves can be caused by over fertilizing, nutient deficiency, over/under watering......or even just water that splashed the soil onto the lower leaves..... I'm more bothered by two things......1) the ways...

    Nute Burn? Nute defficiency? Bugs? Too much heat?

    Ok...looking at the pictures.....I would have just removed those bad leaves...otherwise they look healthy enough. The spots you describe are typically spider mite damage.......look on the underside of the leaves that have the white spots.........holding it so the light shines through the leaf...

    Which "BIG BUD" nute is best?

    I stay away from most additives.......always amuses me that they say "use our complete fertilizer" then have 10 different additives. I have tried a few...floralicious, liquid karma, etc..........for the most part....very little difference for a very high price.......I think I saw just as much...

    balls sexing

    What you're being told is.....give it a few more days.......they look pretty similar at that stage........ Most plants I've ever worked with show sex in 10-14 days......I guess Sativas could take longer.....but if it's longer than 3 weeks, I'd suspect a light leak. Anyway......you have a...

    More questions on Topping and proper nutes.

    1) you will have as many as you have nodes........they start side by side but then alternate further from the stem........but yes you can make 4 top plants ...see the link above 2)I stop all pruning 2 weeks before changing the light cycle.....you want them as healthy as can be when you start the...

    Half strength Nutes Rez topping?

    Well.......I'd say the guideline doesn't work for you due to small rez size. I believe that's newbie hydro 101.....intended for those without a EC/PPM meter....... If you figure a 30 gal rez loses/uses 3-5 gal a day.....if you top with water once and 1/2 strength the next.......it's...

    Help with lighting and ventilation?

    Yeah......you're stuck with flouros or the LEDs, but I can't talk about the LEDs as I've never dealt with them. Due to the lack of head room.....you'll pretty much have to go straight from clone to bloom so the stretch doesn't kill ya.........maybe a short veg cycle and some LST type...

    Aerogarden Update

    A chick I dated had an AG she was trying to grow tomatoes in. I think the plugs were 1/2 or 3/4" rockwool........ I wouldn't advise spending your money on one..........but it's up to you. I can tell you that I started with a Phototron way back when..........maybe late 80's...... A great...

    Can Care-Givers trade Product?

    The current laws are sketchy........regarding both caregivers and dispensaries...... I would assume you'd be ok, but it's a totally grey area.... I have the same type of issues......I am a caregiver...but not a patient. There is a stipulation in the law that says you can NOT be your own...
