actually I chose LEDs because my income is rather small, and huge electric bills would leave me homeless, and without a place to grow LOL.

Oh, and pics of buds. Flowering plants have 5-6 weeks still to go before harvest, and looking through loupe shows mega trichs all over.

Ok so I am new to indoor growing, and, as pics will show, have already learned much from 1st grow which I have incorporated into 2nd grow. In my flowering room ( as this seems to be what people bitch most about regarding LEDs ) I have my ghetto panel which has a 120W red/blue LED panel at its...

OK, I made a combination panel of my own using LEDs and floros I already owned, and as I am closing in on harvest of my first crop, I can give you the low down of my experiences. First of all, LEDs are great for veg stage, as nodes are very close together, and LEDs have great penetration so...

Though most herbivores won't eat plants once they start to really smell, goats will eat anything. Keep those fuckers locked up in their own yard, and out of the garden.

We who make Colorado home are very aware, and concerned, by the significant changes which are occurring in our weather patterns. Within our state we have the head waters of many rivers, and within my own life time these rivers have begun to dwindle. As a child I remember seeing the glaciers on...

At the beginning of this growing season, I began applying some of the latest science to my already decent level of experience in organic gardening. Gleaned from a Finnish study on the use of human urine as fertilizer, I began peeing on my compost. Along with my cannabis, I applied compost tea to...

Also, my mom has had some success with keeping dormant roots alive through the winter. She cuts plant off about three inches above the soil, and buries the stump under a mound of leaf mulch about two feet thick. In the spring she uncovers stump, gives it a good dose of ferts and new branches...

Those who read my posts know that regarding indoor growing I am a relative noob, first attempt is doing nicely but still. I have much outdoor and organic knowledge which is serving me quite well if purely by accident. The strain I am presently growing is Carmelicious, and Colorado's weather and...

A company I found to be reliable is Amsterdam Seedbank. Not only were prices comparable to other companies, but they give you an additional 20 seeds free when you buy 10. I purchased Carmelicious, attempted to germ 16 of the seeds. Of that 16 I got 5 males, 8 females, 1 hermie, and 2 duds for my...

a decent jewelers loupe can be found for about ten dollars. craft shops, rock shops, and jewelry supply stores all carry them. Once you find watch trichs and wait until 75-80% have turned amber colored.

Ants are tough little mothers, ask anyone who has ever tried to destroy a nest. Can't imagine why they would take up residence in party cups though, not much room for a growing family. I would try to get roots ant free and plant in new soil. Worth a shot. Also, are you sure there isn't something...

As for hermie question, I dropped one of my lights on a plant with result you had, never occurred to me to clone top half and I just threw it away, but bottom half is presntly loaded with buds so I doubt you have to worry about hermie thing.

I have an MK Ultra plant grown from seed, and in just one month it is nearly three feet tall, has been topped twice, and is covered with preflowers. I use LEDs and floros in my grow though.

Oh yeah, be sure to wash and change your clothes when you have been handling pollen before going near your ladies.

Ok this is actually a little trickier than it sounds, but if you can isolate your males indoors, you can give it a try. First tricky part is harvesting your pollen. Pollen is very sensitive to moisture, so what you do is raise a male or two until bananas start to pop. Once you have a good number...

I grow both. Indoor because you have better ability to manipulate and control conditions. Outdoors because, regardless of potential for natures many adverse conditions, you just can't grow serious monster plants indoors like you can outdoors. Here is a pic to make my point. This pic is about a...

I had one like that a few years back, and it grew just as well as other plants, just had a third branch to start with. Mine, unfortunately, turned out to be hermie, but don't think my experience means all three leafers are destined to herm.

I am really digging using my preexisting organic gardening knowledge combined with what I have come to learn on this site and others like it. The topic of compost teas seems to center around the purchase of high dollar ingredients, and I am writing this recipe to illustrate how easy it is to...

You may not be aware, but the very THC we all grow and partake of is the cannabis plant's natural pest resistance. If you feed your plant some urine ( I know everyone says ewww ) not only will you be giving wonderful source of organic nitrogen, but it will increase plants natural defenses and...
