    To all noobs

    The 4 things you absolutely MUST control in any grow = water, air, temperature, and light! Get a moisture & PH meter if you are using soil or get a PH & PPM reader if you are using hydroponics. If your leaves are wilting or falling over then it's most likely got to do with either your PH being...

    PPM Readings

    Fox Farms nutrient schedule is mapped out primarily for heavy feeding plants such as tomatoes & other high feed crops. For MJ I sternly advise to go 1/4 to 1/2 strength on the full nutrients & additives all of the way through. Both myself & a ton of other people have scorched the shit out of...

    Blueberry - A Beginner's Exploration, Trials, & Tribulations on What to do & Don't!

    No sir, just neoprene inserts with the centers removed for now. I'll add some hydroton & remove the neoprenes when I drop the new Mom plant into it's own DWC system to veg endlessly. I'll reuse the neoprene for the next batch of seedlings and clones

    Taking clones

    Usually when the plant measures 1 foot tall with compact nodes will it be best to take clones from the bottom nodes & work your way up.

    When to flower?

    As webb107 said; you can start 12/12 from seed but your harvest will be greatly diminished. A lot of people veg to 1 foot depending on the strain because your plant is going to grow 100% to 300% in size from whatever height you finish vegging it. An example is that a 1 foot plant will grow to 2...

    Talk with your buddy & find out if he had any males in the crop. If he didn't then the plant will contain seeds that are XX chromosome & NOT XY which are males. If your seeds are germinated with XX then they will be females to start but could continue on the hermaphrodite condition. If male &...

    1000whps/mh system

    To germinate your seeds & veg your seedlings into plants, yes it will be. Once you start your veg cycle it will be an outstanding light to use depending on the square footage of your grow space.

    03/10/2011 Plant #1 Plant #2 2:11pm PH was at 6.19 & dialed that back down to 5.88 with 1ml of PH down. Topping off daily with full strength nutrients so I don't have to flush the system. Roots on Plant #1 are FINALLY catching up to Plant #2. Plant #2 shows slight nutrient burn on...

    Thanks a lot, the plants haven't shown their sex yet but I'm praying plant #2 is female because of the bushiness & accelerated growth of that plant! Plant #1 is coming along very well so I'll be updating the journal again today, tonight, or in the early morning. Using the RO & PH adjusted...

    I realized that later on, if you check the update info now you will see that I dropped the tap water & powered up my RO stat! My plants took off when I started using the RO & The Lucas Formula. No problem on the English. This grow has been a definite learning experience & my biggest mistake...

    01/31/2011 12:47am Blueberry planted x 5 seedlings in mix of 25% pumice to 75% potting soil 2-4 weeks until planned cloning for sexing to ensue 02/01/2011 2:35am No seeds popping up yet but that is to be expected seeing as how germination can take 3 to 5 days. I moved the humidity dome over the...

    Is my plant retarded? (pic)

    So your saying that the plant was born with a chubby? That is fucking outstanding! Since it's now going "soft" you may want to supplement a little viagra in the soil over the next few days. If the pep in the step has gone out, it's time for a little blue pill of thunder to get things rolling...

    Is my plant retarded? (pic)

    Why you gotta make it feel inferior cuz it's on the grill?? Damn B!!!!! Your seedling looks to be a little stretched from trying to grow toward alight source that is too far away "possibly" or it's needing you to put a helmet on it & send it away on the short buss. I think the prior is more...
