    planter or preped ground for outdoor grow?

    Im not that familiar with indoor growing techniques since i only grow outdoor, however i know that flushing your plants can cause stress, you dont ever see symptoms of stress (specifically slow growth) after flushing your plants that much?

    planter or preped ground for outdoor grow?

    There is no set in stone flushing schedule for outdoor plant but generally growers flush their plants a week to two weeks before harvest.

    planter or preped ground for outdoor grow?

    I have always grown inground as it allows the roots to stretch out more in search of nutrients and water, this stretching is good because it allows the plant to be bigger as root mass is directly related to plant size. So the larger your root mass is the bigger your plant will be. Just be sure...

    Curing Your Buds

    OK i understand your arguement, however if you were to smoke a bowl of water cured bud would it get you any higher then if you smoked the exact same amount of weed that was not water cured?

    Curing Your Buds

    Correct the bud is not more potent it just has a higher ratio of THC to other plant material. I just wanted people to know this method does not increase potency it just cleanses some of the undesirable plant material.

    Curing Your Buds

    I dont think you guys understand how to measure the potency of weed. The % of THC is meausred by dividing the amount of THC content on the bud by the total weight of the bud, this gives you a fixed number percent that does not change. So if you had 100 grams of weed with 15% THC content then...

    how to keep plants short

    You can top the plants, stress train them (increases yield), grow indica strains (they tend to be shorter), tie them down, and im sure there are more methods

    A really specific question.

    Try any of the afghan strains as they are very resistant (the strain began in that shithole called afghanistan) is quite potent has medium to high yields and you can control the size of the plant by putting it in small containers, topping it off, or training the plant to grow in a certain...

    Curing Your Buds

    Excellent post on water curing as i think cleaner smoke is the way to go. However i disagree with your potentcy arguement as your logic is flawed, water curing does make the bud more potent when compared to air curing, as the THC doesnt break down in water as it would when air drying, but the...

    Lights on the underside of plant leaves

    Recently i was thinking about ideas to grow better weed and i came up with several but one really struck me as being either a very good idea or an idea that wouldnt impact the plant at all or it might even harm it. The idea was if you angled cfl lights diagonally from the bottom of the stem so...

    growing tall bushes!!

    I personally have never placed cfls under one of my plants but i believe that the undersides of the leaves should be able to absorb the light and therefore an area which rarely gets light will in turn get light and aid in the process of photosynthesis making a healthier better equipped and...

    Price of soil??

    The price of your soil depends on the extent of much money youre willing to spend. You can make some really high quality soil fairly inexpensive if you know what to mix ( i suggest a mixture of perlite, worm castings, and some kind of silt based soil) or you can go the prepackaged soil route...

    helicopters

    In all reality you are not going to get caught because in general drug detection helicopters are looking for large grows exceeding 18 plants (18 plants is the maximum number recommended by the wonderful state of CA) so your group of four isnt exactly on their priority list unless you live out of...

    Realistic Yields

    Yield varies on several factors some of which you can control and some of which you cant. Some of the things you can control are putting your plants in an area where they can gets lots of direct light (however you mentioned youre growing in the woods so that may be hard), soil quality, proper...

    in ground, or grow bag?

    A small swimming pool like videoman suggested would actually be a great growing border for your plants because female plants tap roots are not that long and the majority of the side roots only go a foot to two feet deep (at the most) but they spread out very far. As far as your soil just talk to...

    purple vs. just too cold

    Plants leaves and stems turn purple because of a sugar called glucose which is stored in the plant. In cold temperatures (around 50 F or lower) the glucose becomes trapped in the leaves giving them the purple coloring.

    growing tall bushes!!

    Like RichardDawson said there is no such thing as too much light for your plants, but the heat generated from the lights is what you have to worry about. In general hps light are hung 2 feet above plants to counter the heat effect, cfls can be placed 2 to 4 inches away from the plant because...

    in ground, or grow bag?

    If you are not limited by space or have privacy concerns i suggest buying 20 gallon containers drilling four to six 3/4 inch wide holes in the bottom (make sure the holes are evenly spaced out) then dig a hole in the ground a little deeper then the containers place two to three inches of gravel...
