    Leaves with only three leaflets or 3 nomal sized one and 2 stunted.

    I have had several strains that had three leaflets (yes, that's the correct term). MOST will develop more, like 5-7-9 as they age but some will carry on with three. Nothing wrong. As long as they are showing vigor (growth) and they are a nice green, don't worry...

    Important help

    ***************** I WRITE THIS BECAUSE I HAVE DONE THIS AND IT WILL CAUSE NO HARM TO ANYTHING; PLANT, PEOPLE, OR ANYTHING... IT IS ALSO, ALMOST 100% ORGANIC! It will add a bit of flavor and scent but both will diminish rapidly and if you cure the buds, you'll not be disappointed. I personally...

    Cabinet questions

    Either I am not understanding the light hanger thing or else I'm off the deep end. A light hanger is simply an easier way to raise/lower the fixture. It does nothing for the efficiency. A light mover does help but would be useless in that cabinet. the cardboard box was merely an example. I...

    Stop!!!! Quit mixing your seeds!!! Valuable info!!!

    Well said! My thoughts go there too. I was thinking about this the other day while doing some research on UVA and UVB. Seems like many of us are thinking this way. I need a lot more research but the reptile bulbs are, indeed, the better choice. I want to experiment with a single, isolated plant...

    clonening

    Sorry, but I gotta' disagree. I have been cloning for 5 years plus. Never, ever topped, in fact, I didn't top any plants until about 1-1/2 years ago. Granted that if you do top, you'll get more branches to cut from but topping isn't a requirement to take cuttings. I want at least 3-4 inches with...

    Cannabis and the IDEAL temperature....

    I'm with you bro'. I believe our tendency IS to pussify these plants. After all, they have more importance to us than anything in any garden there ever was. I believe in treating them good; providing everything they need but also believe in giving them some tough times. It makes frr a stronger...

    Going on vacation for 5 days. Should I use Aqua Globes or just leave it? [First grow]

    Actually the sand is a good thing; keeps the base/grade location dry. Everyone has already offered their advice I cannot add much. In nature, these plants experience drught and monsoons. They have survived with this factor for thousands of years. I believe it to be helpful to 'rough them up" a...

    Need help with light schedule

    For all intents and purpose, a 12/12 regeime will trigger the plant into flower for most strains (there ARE exceptions). The plant actually "feels" the longer dark period that is a change from the summer's longer days. In nature, she veg's for "x" amount of time (+/-3-4 months) then is triggered...

    Dish soap to use as surfactant. Found this at Walmart... Good thing to use?

    I've been using Ivory liquid for many years. Works like a charm. A source to find what you seek would be Whole Foods. They are big on the "natural" approach to everything!

    Recommendations.

    You know, it almost goes without saying that, if someone has a good experience, someone else will have a bad one from that same source. Kind of like one guy likes Chevy and his buddy has had nothing but bad luck with them. I have had bad experiences with the Cali Connection seeds. I got 39...

    How much can i expect to yield? Please help : )

    Frikin' HATE auto's but that's because I like the control I have over my plants. This is probably a thread too, or else it should be... People here are not trying to be scornful, rather just pointing out some issues (in their own way) and trying to get a point across. I canker that spending $'s...

    Unfortunately, what you ask is quite a task! There are answers to your questions throughout this site as well as several others. It tkes a lot of time to sift through it all. Also, you must take everything with "a grain of salt" because there are things that work well for one person that are...

    Need a new ballast ASAP

    I will assume that you did indeed, check to see that the bulb is working. The brown outs will affect your bulb as THIS IS THE HOT START weakness, not the coil. Most commercially made ballast equipment is made with cheap (foreign made) components. The Capacitor (usually a round "can" with two...

    Shanti Baba - plagiarism is a crime

    The magazine is ultimately responsible for the material they print. It is their obligation to verify the correctness and originality of the text therein. If you do anything I'd tell the magazine what's up and let them deal with it, professionally. If, after a certain period of time, they do...

    Light Movers

    There are 3 or 4 companies that make light movers. They can be expensive ones all the way to el-cheapo units. I personally use the inexpensive units as manufactured by Hydro Farm (most all grow shops sell Hydro Farm stuff) made from by-pass door hardware (head track) with a high torque, low RPM...
