Riddle, Since I'm just coming back, can you give me a quick synopsis on how many plants your growing this time, and which strains? I'd love to read the whole thread, but it's going to be a few days before i have time. Just some thoughts about yield. I've come to the conclusion that chasing...

Hey Riddle, I'm Back!!!! Sorry about the long break, but i've been spending my evening working from home for the last couple months and haven't had much chance to read or post. Just a bit of advice for anyone that has spider mites and decides to use the Doctor Doom Fogger. You need to be...

EP, I know exactly how you feel. There's no way i could go back to smoking schwag. Funny how the stuff i used to think was pretty good tastes like dirt to me now. :) The plus side to growing your own is that your quality is just going to get better. My first set of plants produced decent...

Had another harvest yesterday, and it may me my best yet. I was able to be patient with this one and wait until it was 100% ready, and it looks to have rewarded me well. The plant really didn't look all that big compared to the last couple I've harvested, but it had so many branches and...

Time for another update. My harvesting schedule has been totally thrown off. I'm not sure if the higher temps in the old flowering room caused the plants to shut down, or if the change to the new room and adjustment to the new conditions created the same effect (or maybe a combination of...

Well, time for another update. MZ, You were right, I'm already seeing the difference from adding the second light. I've got thing set up so that my biggest/bushiest plants are in the center between the lights and are getting hit from both sides, and the difference in the bud production is...

Laying them out on a paper bag/piece of paper for a while works, especially if you use a fan to circulate air across them. You don't want the fan really close, just in a position to put a slight breeze across the buds. It usually doesn' take me more then 20-30 minutes of that treatment before...

Just wanted to jot down a few thoughts to ponder. I've got enough grows and harvest under my belt now that I'm starting to understand things i read 6+ months ago when I was first getting going, and I'm starting to think about which optional methods I should start incorporating into my grow...

Ok, someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't recall any law or rule saying that the dispensary has to grow all their meds on the dispensary premisis, or even in a single location. I know that the dispensary I prefer going to grows all of it's own meds because it's basically a co-op...

Ok, I'll bite. First off, miracle grow will work, but by most growers standards the stuff is garbage. I've had good success with both fox farm ocean forest and with happy frog, and my own personal suggestion would be the happy frog, since it's not as "hot" as ocean forest, making it a better...

I don't use rockwool, but do use rapid rooters, so it's pretty much the same thing. I like them because they work, they don't require any real prep time on my part, and they are relatively cheap. I can also easily pop them out of the holder to check their root development on all sides, which...

Riddle, Harvested my biggest baby yet yesterday. Main cola weighed in at 83.3 grams before drying, and i have 3 secondary colas that weighed between 50-60 (as well as a lot of smaller buds that will yield maybe an 1/8th each), so it looks like I'm starting to get the yield side of the...

Electric, A lot depends on the current conditions locally, but I've found that If i take my buds completely out of the jar and let them sit out on a piece of paper for 5-10 minutes a day for the first week that the cure goes faster and there is much less chance of them developing mold. This...

$89? At that price there's no reason i can't afford to go grab one. I'm not much of a tech person, so I'l admit that it's been years since I priced one. Back then the cheap ones were a couple hundred bucks, but you also had to go to either a camera store or someplace like best buy to find...

Riddle, Congrats on the move. Hope you get everything up and running soon. I've made some major changes in my grow during the last few weeks, and another is going to be happening in the next day or two. My flowering room has been relocated to my basement, my vegging area has been moved into...

Pineapple, Some people swear by flushing, others (like myself) will tell you it's a waste of time and that the taste is all in the drying and curing process. From my perspective the major reason you don't want to cut off the nutes until the last couple days before harvest is that this is the...

Not yet. Things have been a bit wild lately and I haven't had much time to read or post. I'll try to get to it tomorrow afternoon-Person who got me started is bring by some clones so I can get a couple new strains going, but I have no idea exactly when he's going to show up. :)

Nevermind. After thinking about it most of today I broke down and sprang for another 600w hps system. Once it's in and I've had a chance to see what it does to the basements temperature (probably not much) I'll decide on the mylar, raised platform, or any other additions I want to make. I...

Hey all, sorry it's been a while since my last post. I finally decided my grow had to move to the basement, and once I got it all moved it turned out a lot of my concerns about the areas dearth of electrical outlets and complete lack of water were unfounded. Yeah, carrying my watering can up and...

Hmmm, I'll have to look into what all there is available and what they eat besides mites. The Dr doom stuff works, but it doesn't seem to kill the eggs very well so the little bastards keep coming back. They are in my flowering area, so the plants that they keep popping up on are between 3...
