    Having major DWC issues...my first grow

    That's part of living in the PAC NW, you get access to some great drinking/tap water. For some reason my local city municipality tries as hard as they can to fuck with the water when it primarily isn't needed. I dunno why exactly but figure it's to create a job for someone, somewhere. Last...

    First hdroponic grow

    I don't have experience using Miracle Grow so I can't tell you the ins and outs of it. It sounds like you are on the right track & my recommendation would be to get a good PPM meter & a good PH meter. You can purchase either on e-bay for really cheap separately to get you by on a budget but it...

    SB 5073 Passes Senate 29-20. What Now?

    So a physician is going to need to see patients outside of primarily prescribing Marijuana? The doctor is able to be a primary care provider providing assistance with pain management ie doctor gives recommendation for MMJ & sends a patient home with general recommendations for patient to treat...

    Light Cycles, Please Help!

    What is the area of your space that you are vegging/flowering in? It's easy to build a box out of PVC pipe & panda film for vegging or even a big ole card board box with some small PC fans mounted inside of it. You can also use a converted dresser with the innards removed and lights setup...

    DIY ghetto grow

    How much did this set you back? Yes it is G H E T T O but I also think it's very resourceful & you deserve +rep for your efforts. I'm interested to see how your harvest turns out man. :)

    Best Jack the Ripper cross

    Just got my hands on Sannie's Jack F6. It made it into The Big Book of Buds Vol. 4 & some of the colas they were pulling off of the plant in the pictures were the size of people's forearms. Heavy yielding & a great stone from what I've read. It was relatively cheap to purchase as well!

    The perfect Indoor Strain

    Just a thought here but why don't you try getting your hands on some good strain guides such as The Big Book of Buds & (or) The Official High Times Field Guide to Marijuana Strains. This will help you ascertain which strains are ideal for beginners, which ones require a little more time to get...

    I hope she wins

    Seriously? That's a crock! Hey I know, why don't we just pass out gun permits to people who are addicted to oxycodone & vicodin? That's a grand idea, isn't it? :)

    SB 5073 Passes Senate 29-20. What Now?

    I disagree with this 100% and to support your statement, can you please post what part of the bill you got this impression from? In surveying the bill that was passed I am finding that the same rules apply for future approvals of MMJ as they do now & did prior. I also find that it's clearly...

    Beware of Fox Farm

    I was having similar problems as you with FF for my nutes so I did some searching around & found this on MarijuanPassion.com's message board. It's for the original nutrients+additives but it's a lot weaker than their schedule recommends. It's worth a shot & it might just work: Very Simple &...

    T.H seeds?

    There were a few of their strains listed in The Big Book of Buds. I'm on volume 3 of 4 & can't remember all of them but if I remember correctly the guys behind T.H.Seeds have been in grow biz for quite sometime & were originally CA. natives. Due to the war on drugs state side they had to...

    first CFL grow - stalk advice please

    Looks to be that the leaves are too big for the stalk. If the plant was stressed the leaves would show it by discoloring or curling. You've done the right thing with staking it down. 1st time? :)

    Adding nutes!!!

    I go with 1/4 strength & then the next week I work it up to 1/2 if the plants aren't showing signs of nute burn. If it's a real growth spurt at 1/2 strength then I bump it up to full strength the following week. Again ONLY go these steps if your plants are NOT showing signs of nute burn. :)

    Having major DWC issues...my first grow

    I had serious problems with my DWC grow using tap water. As soon as I started using reverse osmosis water all of my problems corrected themselves. PH from the tapwater out of the faucet in my city is 7.0 which is the same if I'm using RO water as well. Use straight RO water until the 1st or 2nd...

    First CFL DWC Autoflower Grow

    Run the plant in 18/6 all the way through at a minimum. If you try to run it in 12/12 it can diminish your harvest. Don't try to clone the plants either. ;)

    Adding nutes!!!

    I go with waiting until the 2nd set of true leaves come in. If the plant is wanting food it's going to let you know by yellowing a little bit or showing slow growth.

    Having major DWC issues...my first grow

    Usually start your nutrients in a DWC system when the 1st to 2nd set of "true leaves" come in. Keep your PH as close to 5.8 as you can in general but realize that some breeders recommend lower PH levels at the start then turning up the PH as the plant grows through to maturity. For more detailed...

    Cheap Ph & EC Tester ??

    Naw man, this is the place across the street from Skippers, in the same complex where the grow store USED to be. The grow store actually moved to it's currently location like 2 years ago. The store I'm talking about is like a hole in the wall kinda place & you're right about that 7-Eleven, I'm...

    which breed next

    Nice, going the full 8 weeks in veg before throwing them into 12/12? Good man I say. Are you going to run them on a perpetual harvest or just grow them all the way through to maturity?
