    spider mites situation.. help!

    If you are only a week from harvest, I suggest you either just wait a few days and cut her down, or just chop her down now and cut your losses. Now that you had mites, they will most likely keep coming back. Next time you see them, get either neem oil (google how to use it), or Plant Vitality...

    Is it because i smoke?

    Yeah, pretty much. I vape on low temp during the day and high temp in the evening. I heard good things about the volcano too, and it's crazy expensive...but the ones i tried in coffeeshops did not get me high...maybe they were broken or sth...

    Is it because i smoke?

    The heavy headed feeling may be a result of CBD and CBN in your weed. Those vaporize at a higher temperature than THC. If you get a vaporizer, get one with temperature control. If you vape at a lower temperature, the high is not sleepy or demotivational. I bought an Herborizer recently, and it...

    is 2 weeks anuff??

    2 weeks is enough if you are desperate for a smoke. Some of the grassy flavor and harshness will be gone, and the buzz will be stronger than with uncured weed. If you cure for 2-3 months you can get the full flavor to come out. The high will also be enhanced, as the more subtle effects become...

    Dimmable Ballast Question

    "If i do decide on a 1000watt dimmable and want to only use it at 50% do i then need to buy a special 500watt bulb?" You buy a 1000 watt bulb for a 1000 watt dimmable ballast. If you run it at 50% the bulb will only use 500 watt. I have a 400watt dimmable ballast, and I love it! Highly...

    Males with female flowers?

    If I cross a non-hermaphrodite female with a male of a stable strain, is there a big chance that the offspring would hermy on me?

    Males with female flowers?

    Thanks for the reply! It is as I suspected. I guess this means I shouldn't use those plants for breeding...Not all that surprised about the hermage though...Zamaldelica is a hybrid of tropical sativas...

    Males with female flowers?

    Hey guys, so here's the deal: I'm growing Zamaldelica from regular seeds. They started flowering two weeks ago. The males were the first to show sex, so I moved them away from the rest. Now I see that two of the males have about as many female flowers as male flowers. I thought that when plants...

    Question about pollination

    Cool, thanks so much for the reply! Sounds like you know your biochemistry :D I'm studying that too at the moment, can't wait to be able to understand the metabolism of the cannabis plant on a molecular level!

    Finshing outdoor plants inside

    To a very small extent...cutting a branch off will be extremely stressful the cutting. It will use what energy it has to stay alive and form roots. Although a cutting from a plant late in flowering probably wont even be able to grow roots anymore...

    Is it possible to go over board with LST

    It will be fine, no worries. In my experience, putting the top growtip A LOT lower than the rest can stunt growth for a while...but yours looks ok.

    Do tall thin pots yield tall thin plants?

    Not so much the width as the overall volume...rootbound plants stretch and don't develop branches. I did read that deeper pots for seedlings result in a higher female to male ratio (gives the taproot more vertical space, which somehow affects the balance of hormones that determine the gender of...

    400w MH vs 600w HPS

    HPS will make your plant stretch more...for vegging MH has a better spectrum, makes for compact, bushy plants. The red light from an HPS mimics the light of the sun in autumn (lower in the sky, more atmosphere to pass through, more blue is scattered, hence more red remains) when plants flower.

    Question about growing Marijuana in Australia.

    When you go visit your growspot, bring some nitrogen rich fertilizer (liquid) and sprinkle it where you step. This will make the grass and other plants grow faster and cover up your trail better. Wouldn't work in very arid, barren terrain...don't know what climate you have there... The thick...

    Guerrilla Guide

    Not sure if it has been mentioned already, but for those who live in places with crap soil (I have clay) you can make a large growbag of about 100-200 L out of landscape fabric for about 5 bucks. Take it to your grow spot and keep bringing good soil every time you go visit your plants (like...

    Question about pollination

    Hey guys, this will probably seem like a no-brainer, and I suspect I already know the answer, but I wanted to make sure just in case I'm wrong. So yeah, every time I select a female to pollinate (the most resinous looking plant of the bunch), at the end of flowering it turns out to be the...

    Columbian Black or Gold? Which should I go for?

    Thanks for your reply! The long flowering time does not bother me. When growing pure sativas, I start flowering in the greenhouse, then bring them inside around the beginning of november. Also, I will be doing just one run of CG/CB, because the purpose is to select a dank mother to breed with my...
