Thanks Doc, just what I needed! BigSteve.

I decided to clean up my act as much as possible and apply for a MJ card here in Michigan. I got copies of my records from my GP and have no problem meeting the required medical conditions. Problem is that it is very difficult to actually make appointments to see one of the 16 clinics that...

Most of us use a lighted 30X hand-held mini-scope. The strong lens, 30X, means a real short focal length. A short focal length means you should be able to have a built-in light source. You can find them on eBay with a search for "30X scope" for $10 or so. The tricky part of using a mini-scope...

I've got a perpetual grow going and here's what I've refined over the years to best work for my set-up. I specialize in short bushy indicas and my methods are geared towards producing plants that are as much alike as possible. It is much easier to choreograph a perp' if the plants all look and...

Unless you are right on the equator I doubt you have the time to properly grow a crop outside this year if just now getting started. You don't want to grow inside and don't want to germinate. Perhaps you should re-examine your commitment to growing instead of looking for shortcuts and tricks...

You got it -- non-autos that say "9 weeks" means that you can expect to wait 9 weeks between first going 12/12 to harvest. Autos with times attached refer to number of days/weeks in dirt. Flowering times are also affected by how long you veg. Plants vegging longer will (usually) start flowering...

You transplanted straight from a solo cup to those large pots and it will cost you maybe 2 weeks of time. By transplanting into a smaller intermediate pot you would have allowed the roots to reach the inside of their pot much quicker. Seedlings won't grow much aboveground until the roots reach...

When I did peyote in the early 1970's we bought buds by the ounce. The buds were about quarter size and the topside had little hairs growing between the folded-over leaves. NOTE -- Be sure to remove as much of the hairs as possible before ingesting. I was told that the hairs contained a...

In order for your crispy critter to be nute-burnt you would have had to use a spray bottle to nute-water her. Nute burns are usually seen at the bottom of the plant where you pour the water. Good luck, BigSteve.

I'm only familiar with Attitude and here's how it works with them -- they have a shipping option called "stealth". Costs about $10 US extra. With stealth shipping Attitude will re-ship your order for free if the original order is lost or confiscated. It's happened to me twice over the years and...

I use a 60W bulb that hangs about 2 1/2 feet above the domes. Good luck, BigSteve.

Transplanting at this point doesn't make sense. Flowering females quit growing in weeks 2 or 3 flowering so it doesn't help to transplant now. Good luck, BigSteve.

I have a 20-inch box fan in the doorway to my flower room and a ceiling fan going 24/7. I reversed direction of the ceiling fan so that it now "sucks" the air towards the ceiling. With the box fan turned around to blow into the room I have been able to keep my ladies going. Idea is that the box...

At least 75-80% sativa. With most indicas the "fingers" on the fan leaves will overlap each other about where a knuckle would be on a hand. Good luck, BigSteve.

If the tops are crunchy they will never produce product. Try to save what you can by removing all the crustiness. Good luck, BigSteve.

Looks like the only height problem is with the 3 large colas in the back. With only a couple weeks flowering you are at a good time to bend those 3 colas 90 degrees so the colas are perpendicular to the ground. It's OK if the plant stem appears to 'break" after being bent. Not to worry. Those...

More watts = more lumens means more and faster growth. Just make sure you keep the plants far enough from the bulb to avoid over-heating them. Good luck, BigSteve.

When plants get rootbound you will usually see the roots turning green or black. You want to see roots throughout the pot as that signifies healthy growth. Many noobs are unaware that a plant will not grow much greenery until the roots have grown out enough to support the plant. You can tell...

Not rootbound, imo. BigSteve.
