I am growing Carmelicious from seeds, in soil, using organic compost, duck manure, and urine for fertilization. Specs say plants should reach about 2.5 feet tall, and yield 19 oz. per plant. Using a 120 W LED panel, 2-14 W red LED bloom panels, underlighting with a small full spectrum floro, and...

My grow room has concrete floors, so between run off from my pots and my occasionally splashing water all over the floor ( be sure any power lines are up off the floor ) I am able to keep decent amount of humidity.

Ran into the guy again last night and he says he read it in High Times, so if someone has a subscription and could look this up I'm sure we would all love to know the facts regarding this question.

Not saying the seeds casing is different. You have to look at some seeds where they attach to the mother plant. you will see a tiny ring, around ring will be either smooth, or bumpy...kind of wrinkled looking. the difference is very small but very clear. Also, why would a plant know the sex of...

Haven't looked at purchased fem seeds, just went through some bagseeds I had lying around to see if the differences he told me about did exist, and the difference is pretty clear.

I prefer pure organics. Duck manure for phosphorus, urine for nitrogen, and potassium is available in both. Also, urine, especially male urine will help keep herbivorous animals ( deer and other plant munchers ) away from the ladies. Also, egg shells crushed and turned into the soil will provide...

This may be BS, but I met a fellow grower at a dispensary who told me a supposed technique for determining female seeds. If you use a jewelers loop or magnifying glass, and look at the little ring where the seed attaches to the plant you will see one of two things. rough and bumpy around the...

I was reading different posts, and a thought occurred to me. In the eventuality that I have a plant either genetically or stress induce, go hermie, would cutting or plucking the male flowers allow me to still produce a product of decent quality? I mean I know I wouldn't want clones or breeding...

Hey, nice to see myself quoted. Hardening is actually something that anyone who grows veggies, and is in a short grow season location, is very familiar with. Plants started with artificial light can be easily burned by that most awesome grow light we call the sun. Just like humans, once your...

It's true, marijuana not only has a very distinct color, which they look for, but has a tendency to remain green in the fall longer than other plants, thus the reason there are more busts on mature grows. also, and I know I am going to misspell this word, marijuana floresces and reflects...

Not sure this will work on cows, but for over 25 years, here in Colorado, we have kept deer from eating weed plants, as well as our veggies, by having male family members engage in a nice beer bash in the spring, and piss a perimeter around our gardens. it seems, at least with wildlife, that...

To give you an idea of what you can do if they are started inside, hardened to the outside, and then planted, I submit for your approval, my little girls. How does this look to you? these were started for a month indoors, and have been outside for almost another month. Here in Colorado, early...

If you are into pure organics ( no mass produced bottled products ) you can use your own urine for a very fine source of NPK especially nitrogen, as high as 49%. Mixed 0ne part urine to 5 or 6 parts water will prevent fert burn. Ignore those who dislike this idea ( too smelly, too gross, etc. )...

Having come from a family which grows organically, my mother has sworn for years on what could potentially be the easiest spider mite cure around. Works on house plants and garden plants alike, so can't imagine that it wouldn't work on marijuana. A couple tablespoons of dishwashing liquid...

I live in Colorado's high desert, so similar to the mountains of Afghanistan that the military trains here. What I need to know is how important is temperature to cultivation of high quality marijuana. My plants will see days, during the summer, where temperatures will be in the low 100s. Since...

I perhaps went to the extreme in hole conditioning. I live in Colorado, am med certified, have a privacy fence all around my property, so I don't have to be sneaky. The soil here is really shit, so I excavated ( by hand, what a chore ) a hole two feet deep and 10'X10'. at the very bottom I put a...

I am in a quandary regarding things I have read concerning temp and humidity. On the one hand I read that plants should be kept at about 75 degrees during light phase and have no more than a 15 degree drop in temp during dark phase. This doesn't seem to compute with how nature does things as...

I had my girls in the ground before freezing nights were over, and I covered them each night with same five gallon buckets I use to grow in my grow room ( the kind restaurants get pickles and things in ),and as you can see by pics they did just fine. I'm here in Colorado, and nights are only now...

I have a small full spectrum floro set to light underside of plants and have seen that the underside of my plants are just as healthy as the canopy, so I'd have to say yes it does help.

OK, you have opened the proverbial can of worms. You will be receiving many posts telling you about all the pricey crap you have to have to produce quality weed. I can tell you how to provide plants with all they need basically for free, but there will be many who say I am full of it because my...
