    Removed a lot of "leafage"

    This oughtta make you feel better. A pic of the sole survivor of my first grow. 1 out of 8 ain't TOO bad I guess. Yep, I worried over them so much I kept trying to fix what aint broke. Like I said before, I don't think "first grows" really count. You're just getting your feet wet.

    My pet Spider.

    I have SEVERE arachnophobia, and even I know that they are beneficial. I have 3 stubborn generic web spinners. They started out between the plants. I accidentally walked into one, thus causing my voice to hit notes I was never meant to hit, and me to thrash about wildly thus destroying the...

    increasing odds of female seeds

    I would say in much the same way that a female grown from seed can become an hermaphrodite. Stress.

    increasing odds of female seeds

    I can see where one would think that a plants sex is genetically "graven in stone", but if it's all about genetics, and environment factors don't come into play, explain hermaphrodism.

    super phosphate on test plant (pics) let's see what happens

    I was kinda surprised myself that you didn't fry it. Apart from the non-organic factor, I have been avoiding the HiYield products like the plague. I guess we really do fear what we don't understand. I predict that this guy is gonna become a great grower. I like his/her style. Didn't bother...

    mystery bag seed?

    Hey Krypt, I just think "whatever dude" to myself when I hear people rag on bagseed. This grow, I germed 20 seeds, and within 24 hrs, 18 had popped. Every seed that I have grown from this seed stock has been female. Not hermie, female. And of course the finished product totally eclipsed the...

    problem with metal halide

    I was waiting to see if I was the only one who thought it was ludicrous to help a self admitted thief. You are one fucked up dude. I cant decide if you just have alot of balls, or you are really that stupid as to come here and admit that kind of shit. And to add insult to injury, Ill bet money...

    A question about the dreaded "Hermie"

    Other than the origins of the seed, I really have no reason to believe that they will hermie this time, they didn't last time, but I'll be extra vigilant. Thanx.

    400Watt HPS..1st attemp..unknown/known seeds

    Since I have only the one other grow to my name, I couldn't say as to the yield, but I have noticed that these are alot bigger and more robust than the last grow at the same stage (Comparing pics). I am gonna flower them soon, so I guess we'll see soon enough. Your temps are now and have been...

    Bagseed

    Baby steps, dude, baby steps. I am going for the "Just keeping them alive 'til harvest" merit badge right now. My set up is not one that I'd want to keep doing, and IF I do keep doing this, I'm gonna put up a 30x40 metal building for that purpose. That will give me the space to do what ever I...

    A question about the dreaded "Hermie"

    I find my self in the unique position of actually wanting to get a male or at least a hermie. All the seed I have is apparently the result of hermie fertilization, since I have yet to get a male. Since I am on my last seeds from this line, I'd like to get a bunch more to keep this line going...

    Bagseed

    I have been saving the seeds from our bags. We get ours from a grower who does JH and Haze. I can only assume that a hermie got past him a few times. Anyway, every seed that I have grown (30+) have been female. I have friends who have grown many of them as well with the same results. No...

    A scenario of the underbudgeted

    Thats it in a nutshell. It's all about the learning. I used miracle gro my first grow. You CAN use miracle gro, alot of folks do (especially us newbies!!) Most folks here are using chemical nutes. Truly organic growers seem to be the minority. You just have to be REALLY FUCKING CAREFUL and start...

    600W HPS Light 120v Lumatek Ballast, problems!?

    All my ballasts are magnetic, and they will have to cool down a bit before they'll re-light after being unplugged. I don't think it's a good idea to plug and unplug them too much, or in too short a time. No reason for that, I just think that it can't be a good thing.

    Springtails; Friend of Foe?

    Actually, they're pretty inoffensive. I googled them the other day when a guy posted about them. I'd never heard of them before. It would appear that they can be beneficial. I read today that they will in all probability take up residence in my worm bin. (among other kinds of crawlies) Just...

    Should i start to panic!!!!!!

    They CAN'T do anything to ya for that. They'd have to prove that you ordered them. If that were the case, I can think of several people who are screwed as soon as I order a bunch of shit in their name!!!! Anyone can SEND you something, doesn't mean you knew about it before hand. But don't ever...
