    Question about making seeds?

    So I am trying my hand at breeding for the first time and am making 4 new hybrids. So far so good. The males definitely dumped pollen all over the girls and seeds are forming. My question is, since I have no intention of smoking the buds with the seeds in it, do I need to let them flower to...

    Vegging under HPS v. MH

    Does anyone or has anyone vegged with a HPS bulb? So I have always subscribed to the common place belief that it is better to veg under a Metal Halide bulb then a High Pressure Sodium... But recently, due to space and cycle timing, I was forced to veg plants under an HPS. I was BLOWN AWAY by...

    First time breeding!

    Hello all, I have been trying my hand at breeding for the first time after cutting my teeth at growing. I ordered some Shiatsu Kush seeds of BCBD a few months ago, then germinated and sexed them to get a female for cloning and a male for breeding. So right now I'm crossing Shiatsu Kush with 3...

    Thoughts on cloning

    So I have seen a lot of posts lately about trouble with cloning. Lots of pics of ugly clones, that will in all likelihood pull through, but I want to improve my cloning. This is a batch of some clones that are just starting to root... ugly right? They will root and recover, but still.

    BC Bud Depot seeds...

    I was very pleased with ordering seeds through BCBD. They sent an email to confirm the order and another when it shipped. The seeds came a few days after that. I have never ordered seeds from the web before and had heard a lot of stories of no show deliveries and super long waits but I...

    Hobbit part 2

    I liked it. I thought the first one sucked but this one was action packed. Way cooler fight sequencing. I fell asleep in the first one but I'd watch this one again.

    Shiatsu Kush anyone?

    Has anyone grown this strain or even tried it? I read an article and it seemed interesting, plus I just like the idea of having something super exotic. I just ordered some Shiatsu Kush seeds and was hoping for some insight. sorry if you were hoping for bud porn :( ... maybe in a few months :)

    Why an RIU app for android and not iPhones? Will someone make one already? I would but... I don't know how.

    Everybody loves a mutant...

    Check out this weird purple sour diesel I have going on. There are 9 plants, all from the same mother, but one started growing buds on the leaves!? Weird, huh? Anyway, I know people love a good freak.

    Drying and curing in the humid NW...

    Hello my fellow Washington patients, as we are all aware by now: summer is over. Which means we can look forward to Rh above 65% for the next 6 months. So I have found that my buds will not get bellow about 66% in curing without the aid of technology during the drying and curing process (fans...

    A good rule of thumb when growing...

    is don't use rules of thumb. A lot of "standards" and "rules of thumb" get thrown around RIU. Aside from the "rule of thumb" that plants need light and water, I think they are helpful and almost all over generalized and mislead. Just saying...

    Is it possible to be addicted to RIU?

    I know it's physically impossible to be addicted to marijuana but some times I feel like I'm addicted to rollitup.org. I like fucking around on this site WAY too much. And yes, I am TOTALLY baked.

    How hot is too hot to clone?

    After never having any trouble cloning in my life, I just had TWO batches of clones basically not take. Some are turning black and dying off in a few days. (I'd show you pics but I'm on the other side of the country right now) I did everything as I usually do: cleaned all tools, filtered...

    Using Boveda packets to bring humidity down?

    I am curious to know if anyone has used Boveda packets in their jars before the flowers are at their desired <65%. I have no doubt it would help, but does it change taste, smell, etc.? I have definitely used Boveda packets on flower I felt was too dry in the beginning of the curing process...

    High ambient Rh while burping... any advice?

    So despite having great dry weather all summer up until now, right when I get my Purple Diesel into jars does the humidity spike up 67%. I put a small dehumidifier in the area where the jars are stored in the hope it will help. Any other ideas on the burping phase while ambient humidity is high?

    Curing - Cvault and Boveda packet review journal

    So recently, after a mediocre attempt at curing I posted a thread to pick everyone's brains about curing and got a lot of useful information. Now I am going to try and put what I learned into practice on my most recent crop of Purple Diesel I cut down yesterday. I will be comparing different...
