    fdd2blk 2010 Outdoor Grow Thread

    Hey fdd2blk, just thought I'd drop a pic for your consideration. These are Carmalicious plants, in the ground since April. Got in the pic for size reference. I am 6'1" and these plants have just begun the preflower stretch.

    outdoor grow, will street lights affect my crop?

    Hmm, how far is far enough? desertrat had a post regarding how man made light diminishes very quickly the farther away your plants are from the source. My garden gets a little light from street light, but is probably thirty yards from said light. What do you think?

    Myth busters its the light

    Yeah, I have to agree. As much as I am impressed with veg growth using LEDs, I have to admit that, as a total newb to indoor growing, I caved to the many posts that said I would harvest very little if I used LEDs exclusively. As a long time outdoor grower, I have to sing the praises of the great...

    How much does having seeds RUIN the WEED... IF at all???

    I think it is safe to say that we all have smoked both, and as I said before, the occasional seed in some awesome weed is like getting a bonus you didn't expect. I got two from an 1/8 of Blueberry that kicked ass, and one from some MK Ultra that kicked ass, and I got the biggest bonus of all in...

    Myth busters its the light

    Hey desertrat, Let me open that ol' LED can of worms. I've been using LEDs to veg, and a combo of LEDs and floros to flower, and thus far I like the results especially in veg, as LEDs seem to have really good penetration to the bottom of the plants, and nodes are very close together. Also clones...

    Is Jesus Christ The Biggest Con-Artist Ever?

    I have no idea where you get your info, but Christ never wrote anything, and there is no reason to believe he was even literate. If you research Jesus from a historical perspective, you might change your opinion. Here are a couple of titles for you to read, and I think you will find them very...

    How much does having seeds RUIN the WEED... IF at all???

    Also, we have all found the odd seed in otherwise seedless pot, and as tranquility pointed out, BONUS!!! These occasional seeds come about when a female is in final stages of maturity, and will attempt to reproduce by throwing a male flower or two into the female flowers. These usually go...

    How much does having seeds RUIN the WEED... IF at all???

    The truth is that it depends on how much pollen makes it to the female flowers. When a plant becomes fertilized, it will devote some of its energy to seed production. If you are intentionally fertilizing a single bud with the intention of growing seeds, and you are careful not to let pollen...

    Mario's Mushrooms

    I happen to have had some experience with these shrooms, and also have some interesting history for you. Yes you can trip on them, but the white wart like bumps are poisonous ( strychnine I believe ), but this is not really a problem because skin is rather leathery and easy to shave off with a...

    Yes you can produce more females from Reg seeds.

    I'd like to point out that to do a truly accurate experiment, you would need 100 seeds from the same mother. Genetics plant to plant are as varied as from human to human. If you want to conduct an experiment of this nature, your test subjects would need to share the same genetic code.

    new clones

    I know it sounds counter to everything we've heard, but really, I'd put them all in one pot and hope for the best.

    Super Strength Bird Guano... Too Strong?

    If you're really concerned, you could always use it as an ingredient in a compost tea. You will find many recipes in this subforum for how to create compost teas.

    PLEASE POST Organic Pest Control Ideas.

    OK let me open a much debated can of organic worms. After much research, I began adding urine to my compost pile and making teas which I serve to my ladies. I grow both in and outdoors. During my research I came across an article about a Finnish study about using human urine as a fertilizer. One...

    new clones

    Sucks that they came that way. I wouldn't even try to separate them as root damage is very likely, and could spell death to your clones.

    any caregivers making a good living?

    Thanks for doing the math, but what you illustrate actually shows that I would make closer to the original 78.000, as I grow pure organic ( nothing from bottles ) so all my nutes are free with the exception of a little epsom salts and molasses ( I produce excellent compost ). My lights, LEDs and...

    is it too late?

    You will most likely get a few little buds. Plants don't really care about how big they are, they will attempt to reproduce ( put on flowers ) when they feel fall ( and eventual death ) in the air.

    Funny how hospital stay and 10 mins. w/ a neurologist can change your perspective

    There was a time when all that material crap was the motivating factor of my life. Thankfully ( in retrospect ) I had a house fire destroy it all. Standing outside watching world smolder with both my kids and our dogs safe and sound, I realized exactly what you did, the really important things...

    You can wait until you see a sac or two as they don't pop right away.

    Watering with cold coffee

    You tell him bigv1976, I have the massively overwhelming proof of how useful this much maligned, AND FREE!!! nutrient can be. Sadly there are some of the nay sayers that seem incapable of letting go of modern overly sterile ways of thinking, and cling to the myth that if it doesn't come in a...

    Watering with cold coffee

    Interesting post. Didn't know about the Ph thing, but, as a pure organic grower ( nothing out of bottles ) I have put coffee grounds in compost for literally decades. Enjoyed getting some of the science behind the humble coffee grounds.
