Okay as you folks know Xmas is fast approaching and, as is always the case, money is tight. My harvest should be ready on the 22nd Dec quite gives very little time for drying and no time for curing. I am considering making a few vegan space cookies for friends. My question is, when using...

Okay, here is the deal. I have heard from my cousin that my new partner is planning a surprise visit on the 12th Dec to stay for the weekend. So far I've been very good and no one knows about my grow (except you lovely people). The grow is situated in my bedroom and it isn't something that could...

I am wondering what tricks you people use to get the most THC out of your flowering plants. The most convincing one I've come across is leaving it in the dark for the last 24-72 hours. Less convincing methods I've come across include using UV and decreasing the humidity drastically. Any...

I read in the FAQ that by keeping a portion of the stem dark for a week or two by wrapping some tape around it (called etiolation) helps rooting. This suggests that taking clones is best done in the dark period. Is my speculation correct or does it need to be kept in the dark for a week or...

Okay, here's the deal. I'm on the lookout for an easy to clone mother plant and since this is a one time investment, naturally I want it to be the best. So I'm looking at the High times top 10 for 2008 (listed below) for inspiration. Anunnaki White berry The black Brainstorm Haze...

I want to know what rooting powder/gel you use and what you place the cuttings in? I don't particularly wish to use aeroponics, but rather cubes. To date I've been using organic rooting powder by growing success and frankly it is rubbish. I don't have any more success when using it compared to...

I spotted a few baby worms in my plant pots. I removed those I saw, assuming there'd be many more that I didn't. Is this going to pose a problem for my plants by damaging the roots or, will they ignore them and help aerate the soil? Love and Light, CuriousSoul

I originally posted this in the seed and strain review section but didn't get any responses. Okay, I'm currently growing Lowryder 2 which is a F1 hybrid between Lowryder and Santa maria. As this is an auto flowering strain, it is impractical to clone so I want to breed them. My question is...

Okay I'm currently growing Lowryder 2 which is a F1 hybrid between Lowryder and Santa maria. As this is an auto flowering strain, it is impractical to clone so I want to breed them. My question is, what characteristics would the F2 strain possess? Is the auto flowering gene dominant or...

I messed up early after sprouting leaving the very bottom of the stems weak. They have all recovered and are growing but a couple of plants still have this inherent problem. This isn't a problem at the moment but once they start budding and getting heavy, I'm afraid they'll collapse. What is the...

The title is fairly self explanatory. Providing you prevent it from breeding with the females is it worthwhile doing? I'm thinking some bud is better than none. Love and Light, CuriousSoul

One of my babies has 3 coleoptiles and now appears to be growing 3 true leaves. Has anyone ever come across this? Do you think it may form more branches and ipso facto more budding sites? If so I hope it's a female when it comes to sexing. Love and Light, CuriousSoul

Okay my babies are germinating but instead of the roots going down, it seems to be pushing the seed up through the earth. This isn't a big deal as I just keep covering it with earth from around the side of the pot but, does anyone have an idea why this may be happening? Or indeed if there is...

I germinated using the paper moist towel method and have now planted in the soil. My question is do I need to turn the lights on before the shoots break the soil to give them something to grow towards or can I leave them off until they've broken the soil? Love and Light, Curious Soul

The set-up: Wardrobe (45cm*57cm*200cm) lined with diamond mylar sheeting and cooled by a 16w fan. It's located in a cool garage and lit by a 400w hps with the intension of running this mostly at night so heating won't be such an issue. I appreciate that the the floor space is very limited so...

I'm considering buying envirolites for my first indoor grow of 3-4*lowryder 2 plants. For those who are unfamilar with the strain it's a low growing autoflowering which takes ~ 2 months from seed to harvest. I was intending to use the 125w blue envirolight during the vegetative stages and add...

Which is the best material for lining a diy grow box with? I seem to recall reading using alu foil or mirrors cause detriment to the plant. White matt paint perhaps? Love and light, CuriousSoul

I am considering buying some LED lights for energy efficiency reasons; with the price of electricity recently going up 35% and all, they seem far more economic. Has anyone got any experience using these and if so, how do the results compare to HPS? Love and Light, CuriousSoul

With regards to lighting; does one need to change between MH and HPS lighting between the veg/flowering phases with an auto-flowering strain? Or can one stick with one or the other? I apologise if this question sounds stupid. Love and Light, CuriousSoul
