    Tap root growing up through the surface!

    You definitely need to plant the thing pointy end down. I find way too many "EXPERTS" on the 'net throwing out info they "heard" rather than what they have seen to be true. I had a lot of help screwing up my first grow. I wish I had that jewel. I'd let it grow out just to see what happens. I'm...

    Soil ph 5.5?

    How are you checking the pH? The run-off? or are you taking a sample from the middle of the pot, and mixing it with water? You gotta find out how much your pH moves, and which direction it moves after it runs thru your soil. For instance, I get my water and feed (nutes, silica, cal-mag...

    Pre-crime imprisonment, Obama is making it happen!

    I beg to differ, they have already destroyed the country I grew up in. Because of the terror attacks (OK, Mostly because of the attacks) our Bill of Rights has been diluted to the point of paying lip service to the concept. Destroy the brick and mortar country? It could happen, too. Thats why...

    Pre-crime imprisonment, Obama is making it happen!

    Yeah Ilkhan, there is always that. They can (and will) charge us as terrorists with the PATRIOT act. Drugs have already been put on the list of things that threaten National Security. I remember when they "shot that piece" of legislature through congress at a record speed of 45 days!!! The very...

    California cops have nothing better to do?

    Dudes got a point. BUT... either they were already way out there by their selfs, OR...they followed you out there. Either way, that's creepy as hell. They're lucky as hell not to have been shot. One just doesn't go moving stealthily about the woods at night around here. I don't know if it's...

    what the hell nats in grow room !!!!

    I've tried sand, sprays (pyretherin), I can't use the sticky strips in the grow area itself 'cuz of air movement. Do the dunks work? These fuckers are more a nuisance than anything. I've had 'em since day one this grow. Never had 'em before, but by god, I got 'em now!!! And these are...

    A Call To Arms

    This is my first grow with real good genetics. As a precaution I cloned the hell outta my four best girls to the tune of about 350 rooted clones. ( OK I went nuts!!) I gave away a bunch to some buddies who do hydro, and I still had over 200 to pepper the surrounding hillsides with. Too bad they...

    The life of commercial bud

    It's a long, strange trip for dope, for sure. I wonder(ed) about the differences between a commercial grow and our "private gardens". By necessity, a commercial grow is gonna suffer. I tell my son all the time, "you can have quality, or quantity, it's your choice." That applies to about...

    Yellow leaves Brown Spots

    Pics are always a good way to show us what you are talking about. Less left to guess. Where on the plant are the bad leaves? Uppermost leaves will be the ones to exhibit any signs of stress from heat. And 20" sounds a bit too close to ME for a 1k lamp. I use 400w lamps, and they are about 18 to...

    My First Indoor Grow Challange

    The guys/gals who can help are gonna want to know a few things: How many plants you got going? We've established you're in soil, what are you feeding, if anything? What kind of soil are you using? You pretty much have to know the pH of A: your tap water, and B: the run-off water from the drain...

    first time grower needs help

    Good advise thrown at ya. I doubt I'd go with the 400s tho, I have 400w lights and wish I had gone with the 600s. More versatility. If you can get it, Panda film is the shit. I got some this grow and It's like adding another light!!! I had to buy 100' x 10' and have over 3/4 left, but it's well...

    Water Question!!!!!!! Need help fast!!!!!!!

    Tap water is just fine, and will work. It's the chlorine/chloramine in the water that hurts. It fucks with the micro-biology of the soil, and thats a bad thing. The micro-biology of soil is too great a subject to discuss in depth here, but suffice it to say that it's REALLY important. Using RO...

    help me.. [first time chick grower] questions, comments, anything.

    Oh, for stretching you'll need more light. If you think it's not enough (and can afford it), get more! And put a small oscillating fan on them. The breeze will make the stems stronger. Let 'em go the way they are now, and they'll get tired and lay down on you. Seedling plants will need more...

    help me.. [first time chick grower] questions, comments, anything.

    My first grow (Bagseed, Jan last year) I started 10, and killed 'em all but one. But that one gave me about 3.5 oz of some "Get up and mow the yard naked" weed. It was FAR better than the sack it came from. I gave some to the girl I buy from and she couldn't believe it!! So, yeah, you can get...

    help me.. [first time chick grower] questions, comments, anything.

    Pics? How old are they? You wanna give them at least 20 hrs of light at first (vegging, getting some size) Lot's of folks do 24 hrs, I have heard that a 20/4 cycle is optimal, so this grow, thats what I'm doing. When the plant is sexually mature (Pre-flowers, alternating nodes) you'll want to...

    Ladyganja, no, you were NOT wrong! However, I will say this... for a weed, cannabis can be finicky as hell!! First of all, very few ventures started on a "shoestring' end well. Not to say it can't be done, but it's rare. That being said, you wanna grow weed? Can you grow a Lima bean? Ever keep...
