    To fim or not to fim...?

    I tried fimming my pepper plant just a couple weeks ago or so and it worked amazing! I got 4 new stems, and those ended up splitting a couple nodes up as well. It was so easy too. That first pic shows a perfect example of what it looks like. I just took a clean razor blade and cut off like...

    Help needed ... what have i done wrong

    When you say the EC is 12 and 14, do you mean 1.2 and 1.4? If not, then you are burning the hell out of your plants. I think you probably need to do some serious flushing on them and use way way less fertilizer.

    Lower leaves dying

    I feel pretty confident that the plant needed nutrients, especially since the nutes fixed the problem both times it happened. Also, after doing a lot more research, I discovered that my symptoms were pretty much exactly what describes a nitrogen deficiency. Anyway, that was a while ago...

    Three weeks old today....seem small...But bushy

    Have you started to add nutrients yet? Your plants look like they're begging to be fed. Mine looked like that and growth slowed a ton. The lower leaves are yellowing and dying because your plant needs some nitrogen. Definitely start adding nutrients now if you haven't already. Since you...

    How strict is law enforcement in Indianapolis?

    Sorry, I should've included the small detail about me flying there. Too far of a drive for me, for only a few days :-) I was just a little concerned with the fact that Indiana isn't a decriminalized state so I don't want to get taken in and all that just for smoking a damn joint or something...

    How strict is law enforcement in Indianapolis?

    I will be visiting Indianapolis in a few months and am wondering how strict they are over there with pot? The laws don't look so good according to NORML's site, especially compared to good old CA, but realistically, should I be worried? I'd like to possibly bring just a real small stash with...

    Does this hobby make you feel good about things in general.

    I'm very close to harvest time on my first grow and let me tell you, this is becoming quite the addicting hobby. It is such a rewarding and enjoyable experience. I'm sure once I smoke the fruits of my labor it will be even that much more rewarding and exciting. Because of Cannabis mainly...

    Ph meter for hydro

    I have that same one and it sucks. My real meter arrived yesterday and I compared the two with some tap water. If I remember right, the digital said 8.4, analog said 7.5 roughly. I would go straight for a decent one.

    Matanuska Thunderfuck

    fdd, you're my hero. That plant looks amazing. It must be so great being able to just grow that monster in your yard. That's the world that I one day want to live in :-)

    clones off roots

    This is actually a legitimate question, and in fact from what I've read, it does work with many plants. Blackberries and raspberries both can be cloned from roots. Weeds you pull from your garden or planter often grow back because of leftover roots in the soil. Some plants can even clone from...

    legal buds?

    My buddy and I were curious as well a few months ago and tried a sampler pack. The worst decision we've ever made. Not only does the crap smell and taste horrible, it's so moist and gooey that it smokes HORRIBLE. I would think the only way to make it even somewhat acceptable is to use a...

    "Y" Shaped Light Socket Splitters

    I just bought some of these from Home Depot last week or the week before. I missed them at first too, but they're in the electronics section, right by where all the various plugs, sockets, etc are. Just look very carefully where the little boxes of plug ends are and all of that.

    power plant 1st grow curled brown leaves

    So as far as my experience goes, over-watering wasn't the true issue, though it probably was part of it. My real problem was the lack of nutrients, and it seems you might be in the same boat. I didn't realize that feeding should start after about 2 weeks from sprouting, so it does make sense...

    Lower leaves dying

    Hi all, just wanted to give an update. It turns out lack of nutrients was in fact my problem, actually. I had miracle gro fertilizer (yeah yeah, let the flaming begin) and added 1/2tsp per gallon of water as recommended for indoor plants (outdoor, 1tsp per gallon). Within a day or so the...

    power plant 1st grow curled brown leaves

    Hey there, I'm doing my first grow too and experienced the exact same problem as you. As a matter of fact, to a certain extent I am still experiencing it! I did a lot of searching and asked on this board and it seems the general consensus is that it's overwatered. I am guilty of...

    Lower leaves dying

    After adding some nutes, the plants have already shown quite the improvement after only a couple days! We'll see how things go. pH meter should be here soon too, so I'll have more info. Thanks for the advice so far.

    Lower leaves dying

    Yeah I read people's opinions on Miracle Gro potting mix after the fact. I've seen both sides though as well. Some people seem to have no problems also. After doing some more reading it seems like it's nut deficiency, since it's working up and no nutes have been added at all yet.
