    Anybody ever overdose on weed?

    Yes. Many years ago. I shook and could not stop shaking for about 8 hours.

    Tough seed cases

    In general I would agree but when I have expensive seeds from Amsterdam every seed counts and some of them just don't make it out of the seed case. The leaves cannot force their way out. I was wondering if there is some safe way to score or weaken the tough seed case before germinating.

    Tough seed cases

    Poor little plants can't get out of the seed shell. They try and get stuck even though I soak them and leave them in damp paper towels. What to do? What to do? :sad:

    Recommend Low Grow Indica

    I'm happy with Top 44. Grows fast, Low grow etc. But.... I'd like to hear recommendations for a strain of cannabis seed that is: 1. Indica 2. Low grow 3. Not too smelly 4. Fairly fast maturing Any thoughts?

    Clone Cutting advice?

    That will probably work but I understand that 'water roots' are weaker and the plant has to grow new roots once you put it in soil.

    lights

    I have had one successful grow using CFLs in the 2700 range. Yes, they work but I attribute my small success to growing very close to the lights in a small space totally lined with mylar. I was using cool white light for veg and added a very small incandescent for red light flowering. I have...

    Bigger Bud

    Now I'm more used to growing African Violets than pot but a lesson I learned from violets is that when those folks are getting ready for a Show and they want big blossoms they pinch off the blooms once or twice and the plant responds by producing bigger blossoms. I wonder if that would work in...

    Never grown, is it even worth it for me?

    So far for me the ONA gel is doing a terrific job of cancelling odor. My place smells better than before I was growing grass.

    Weeks 2 to 6 Pics

    Yes, flowering under CFLs. Can't afford the high lumens yet so they are only 2 - 2900s and one 2700s. This is an experimental grow. Call it a test run to get some clones and maybe a bit of bud. With the clones I'll have saved enough, I hope, to move to higher lumens. My closet grow will...

    temporary light screens?

    Just a cautionary note. Test any light screening material for flameproofing. I was going to use some black plastic ground cover material (meant to keep out weeds outdoors) as a curtain. Since the lamps emit heat I took a snippet and put a match to it over the sink. Instant napalm!! Melted...

    Introduction: a senior medical grass grower

    Thank you, Tokahontas, for your thoughtful post. I am keeping a journal and I have switched to an A/B pot specific hydroponic fertilizer. No more houseplant stuff :) Your advice on cloning is the best I've seen so far and I will follow it to the letter. Economics in the short term is...

    Introduction: a senior medical grass grower

    I hear you on the lighting. Thinking of getting a 4300 initial lumens 65W Full Spectrum Compact Fluorescent but I suppose that's not enough either. Maybe a 6000 lumen 105W (daylight) Full Spectrum Compact Fluorescent would do it but I'm a little scared by this mogul socket thing. Nervous about...

    Do Seeds breed true

    Let's pretend the unthinkable has happened and my Top 44 female plant is producing seed. Will the seed produced breed true i.e. produce more Top 44 plants or is there some kind of trick to a hybrid plant that would not allow this to happen. :leaf: Confused :leaf:

    Introduction: a senior medical grass grower

    Thank you all for your good advice. On the CFLs I am using are 42 watts 2700 lumens 45 watts 2900 lumens They are kept about 4 inches from the tops of the plants. I'm going to try that experiment with the black paper when they get a little taller. Their bottom leaves are not quite...

    Introduction: a senior medical grass grower

    Let me introduce myself. I am a retired Senior and I have grown African Violets under lights for 5 years. I have the usual bunch of physical afflictions for my age and decided to investigate to try and find out if medical marijunana would be useful. After researching how to grow I bought Top 44...
