    Show me some pics, in order, day by day of week 5 and 6 of your big single cola plant

    I've never run a plant that wasn't LST'd till my latest run. I want to see what happens just below the main cola during weeks 5 and 6 on plants of experienced growers so I can set my expectations accordingly (think health check). My LST plants don't fill out much (at all) below the main cola...

    Sanity-Check my nutrient recipe.

    I'm growing several strains including a pure sativa (20 week flower) and a handful of I/S and S/I hybrids. I grow in coco coir + perlite in 18-22 gallon bins lit by 2x 400W HPS and a few hundred watts of florescent. Now that I'm hitting my stride I want to take it to the next level. I just...

    HOW-TO: COOL DIY Remote Ballast 400W HPS 4 < $200.

    First off I claim no responsibility for you nuking your arse, burning your house down or exploding a bulb or electrocuting your hamster with insanely high voltage/current combos. Capacitors can store a charge and release large amounts of current very quickly. Ballasts have effectively 2...

    Sweet-n-Sour Diesel

    Strain: Sweet-n-Sour Diesel Genetics: S/I Flower Time: 8 weeks Indoor/Outdoor: Both Height: 2'-6' Easy as pie to grow. Very resiliant so far with heat and light and nute changes. Doesn't like particularly strong nute solutions and drinks water heavily during flower. Responds incredibly well to...

    Jack's Old Time Haze

    Strain: Jack's Old Time Haze Genetics: Pure sativa. Flower Time: 17-20 weeks Indoor/Outdoor: Outdoor if you have any sense. Height: (outdoor) as much as 14' or so. Grows VERY tall and bushy unless trained. Very difficult to grow so far from a clone. The clone was healthy but smallish and took...

    Just got a really rare one

    Got myself a Jack's Old Time Haze clone. 17-20 week flowering time EEEEK. Needs about 6-8 weeks in veg to get a good LST going then going to set it in a spare slot by itself in the flower room and look for bud harvest around April or May. It's well rooted in the rock wool right now. That could...

    Bud Porn (no actual nudity. hell, no people). 56K abandon all hope.

    Macro shots so they're very big. These are Mazar and MyDawg in no particular order:

    Discuss CO2 from CH3COOH + (NaHCO3 + H2O)

    So was doing a little looking at cheap CO2 augmentation. Looks like Baking soda and vinegar (well...acetic acid anyway) might just be the ticket. I've already worked out a dripper setup and I have a bucket setup to contain the reaction figured out. Now I just need to work out the drip rate to...

    quick culture question

    what the heck is it with all the bagseed grows? Seeds from some random bag you get from some dude in the park, even if it's good smoke just seems like a good way to find a problem. I know some folks don't have a choice but most of us do. So tell me... why would you want to grow from bagseed...

    anyone ever consider open cell foam

    I have a bunch of open cell foam left over from a hot-rod project (normally use it as anti-slosh in my gas tanks). The thing is, holding it up to the light you can see all the way through (well.. pinhole light but still) a 6" thick segment of it. It's nothing but channels and air. I have a few...

    6x CFL + 1x 150W HPS, 2 plants, chem-4, indoor, potting soil, Wardrobe box

    I have an advice thread in the CFL section but this is just for me (love this grow journals forum too... awesome sauce). I'll be tracking day by day for the most part. So far the plants are about 3.1 weeks old. They'll get at least another week of veg. After that, it'll be up to the advice I get...

    corn meal amendment as a fungi barrier

    Research (http://gardening.about.com/od/naturalorganiccontrol/qt/Cornmeal.htm) shows that corn meal has fungicidal properties and beneficial fungus promotion properties. Any thoughts about using it as a soil amendment (or cover) to keep the mold problem down? Probably best for dirt grows but...

    Trying indoor CFL and dirt. Great Googly Moogly. Pics from the first week.

    I haven't grown in almost 20 years. Last time it turned out poorly. I waited till I could do a good job to try again. The way I'm doing it will no doubt piss someone off, so neener neener I made you mad. This is a legal medical grow, like anyone cares. So, I have 2 chem-4 (oaksterdam) clones...
