    I started AK&S seeds from the single seed center and they have grown into monsters with trunks more than two inches in diameter and some more than eight feet tall...they have been easy to grow but they are now six weeks into flower and it's been necessary for me to stake almost every limb as...

    I have a similar setup, two four foot trays set end to end with 16 plants per tray and two Light movers...my trays are in line with the movers traveling their full seven foot length.

    I have been running my indoor lights from 6am to 6pm (daylite hours). It's getting hotter and I need to start running at night when it's cooler. Should I make the change gradually or do it all at once ? This is my first indoor grow.

    Finally drying up...watering outside for the first time since May 4th. Have been babying all these plants along since seeding in March, sweating blood over every little thing, covering for frost protection, digging all that stuff into the dirt to prepare a place for the little darlings...

    how to get perfect soil? Need help Please. Everything is ready except soil and weather.

    I don't know about all that other stuff, sounds like you don't or can't use Mother Earth to plant in.....unless you have toxic soil, you can amend it with some leaf mould, compost or potting soil....scatter a couple of handfuls of 12/12/12 around a three foot circle, dig it in good with the...

    how to get perfect soil? Need help Please. Everything is ready except soil and weather.

    The jiffy pellets have just enough to sprout the seed and grow it until roots show at the bottom and sides.......it's time to pot up then....miracle grow potting soil is a complete mix, with enough nutrients to get you by for a month or so then it's time to either pot up again or go out into the...

    My stuff is growing good, in spite of the monsoon. Some of them that were small are in a holding pattern but not showing any damage. There's something to be said for starting the seeds a couple of weeks early so as to have nice big plants to set out. My indoor crop has taken off very well, I...

    I'm planted out now, hoping for frost free from here on out...have several varieties but one called California Dream is far and away the most robust. TSSC seeds. Another called Ice from Nirvana is also going strong. I cloned the CD, and am trying indoor for the first time. The clones seemed to...

    Still with the spider mites, getting ready to flower - nuclear option?

    Don't let them flower till you get the bugs under control, they can ruin the whole thing for you. Sounds like you have gone the organic route, maybe you should consider a chemical solution. You are not in flower, so anything out there that's safe for tomato plants is unlikely to pollute your...

    How should I create my soil mix?

    Fin......are you going to put them in pots outside or what ? If into pots you are going to create the growing medium, if into the soil outdoors, you are amending the soil.... I grow in the soil outdoors so weeks prior to setting out the seedlings, I dig in leaf mulch compost along with a handful...

    I'm scared to grow that tall stuff, I'm looking for a plant that gets about four or five tall, max. I am also tired of the regular seeds, I'm going for feminized seeds, it's just the pits to grow everything up and then on the first of August, cull half, or more, unless you are lucky. I'm no...

    I'm working my soil too, digging in leaf and grass compost with a big handful of 12/12/12. Did this last year and didn't have to feed any more all summer. Grew plants two meters tall and some were three inches in diameter. I wonder sometimes about all these fertilizer recommendations I read in...

    I would really love to have that kind of room to grow in, eight foot circles with a walkway would make all the difference in taking care of the plants. But, just don't have the room. My plants nearly all are touching, leaving very little room to get in between to tend them. The regs still state...

    Mine finished on the 15th, I'm going to try some next year that finish in mid September, I don't like the stress associated with waiting this long. My Critical is extra sticky, but maybe I let it go too long, it made a few seeds. I'm sure that no males were present, I suppose it morphed a little...
