    vinigar? for plants?

    Dude, let those 3 week old plants be and let them do what they are gonna do. Dont start fucking with them until you have to. They are still in the development stage, and will do some shit that will look scary, but is in reality normal. I killed off most of my first grow from "over...

    vinigar? for plants?

    Saturnlilly, Listen to Ganjababy. It's basic chemistry and NOT that difficult. You can use ANY acid to to reduce alkalinity, and vice versa, however I don't recommend using reagent grade sulphuric or hydrochloric acid for the average hobbyist. If you have a prob with vinegar, or pee (I'd pay...

    how well does MH work for flowering???????

    As near as I can figure out all of the conflicting data I have read on a SHITLOAD of websites, I find that there are at least 3 schools of thought on lighting with HID lights. One says that MH should be used exclusively for vegging, HPS for bud production. Another says that while MH for veg and...

    Has anybody tryed this?

    Vbenny, lots of products say that they are "for flower/fruit", or for "rooting". It's just NPK after all. I compare this to the aspirin industry. They have ads for AM, PM, PMS, back, front, head and every other ailment imaginable, yet it all contains the same ingredient. It's just fucking...

    Do we really want decriminalization??

    Lots of good points made here on both sides. Some are pretty close to what "MIGHT" be the world where pot is legal, The Pharmaceutical, Law Enforcement, and Corrections industries will not let that happen without a fight, and MAN, can they fight. I doubt very seriously that the NORML war chest...

    Air Exchanger

    I wouldn't worry about not getting responses right away. Evidently, these guys DO have other shit to do and don't sit behind the computer all day. It's nothing personal. I belong to another site that relates to MY business, and man, you make post and BINGO!!! Dude who joined last month and has...

    feminized seeds

    Just like Chicken!!!! I am a retailer, and am seeing a trend in consumers. They want it cheap, they want it NOW, and they want it to be perfect. Some peoples expectations are set so high. I have to remind people constantly that there is NO SUCH THING AS PERFECTION!! Some people come into the...

    Decide for yourselves

    Here are a couple of pics of my 2 grows at approx the same stage of development. My first grow was just a straight up "Hope I get thru this" grow, the second grow I came to it a bit more prepared. I used mycorrhizae this time. There really is a bigger difference than the pics show. Keep in mind...

    Has anybody tryed this?

    Dirtcurt, I'm sure it won't hurt, but IMHO you need to add them to your soil at the onset to realize the full potential benefits. I am digging up pics of my last grow at 3 weeks to compare to this grow (Now at 3 weeks also) I'll post 'em in another thread. You AINT GONNA BELIEVE the difference!!!

    Has anybody tryed this?

    I have seen and heard about alot of "secret methods" or secret ingredients" for growing dope (almost all bullshit). But if there ever was a "magic bullet", mycorrhizae is it!!! Just don't go telling EVERYONE. That way we will be the only ones who know the real secret. (Knowing wink) :bigjoint:

    Has anybody tryed this?

    All I can say is that if they say it doesn't do much, they are grossly misinformed or have never used them. Use the search feature, and look up Mycorrhizae. (Myco=spore/fungus and rhizae= rhizome/root) Sounds like a bad thing but it's really a great thing. These "little beasties", as OhSoGreen...

    Breeders i need your help

    DO NOT TAKE THIS AS GOSPEL!!! I'm on my 2nd grow, but read alot, and ask alot of questions. I would think that you could keep your males in another room. Collect the pollen into a jar lid, or similar container, and using either a Q-tip, or a "make-up" brush, transfer the pollen to your female...

    Hotter At Night

    MDude, you think that there is a correlation between temp differential and internodal spacing? Interesting..... I have several 3 week old plants right now, all from the same stock, and I can see at least 2 different phenotypes. One with an internodal spacing of an inch (or less) and one with...

    2nd Grow of some "KICK ASS" Bagseed

    Believe it or not, last time I started 8 seeds, got 8 females. Out of the 30 seeds I have personally started, only 2 failed to sprout. The girl I buy from has grown alot of these seeds, and has yet to get a male. I fully expect 22 females. Thats kind of a problem as I want to get at least 1 male...

    FROM N00Bs TO ANYONE ELSE. READ.

    Plus rep 4 U!!! Too many people here are either naive or have been "lulled" into a false sense of security about the risks involved with our activities. What troubles me even more is the apparent lack of concern some folks have about putting others (or their property) at risk so they can have...

    2nd Grow of some "KICK ASS" Bagseed

    9/19/08 On 9/17, I harvested my first crop (MUCH joy!!!), I was SO stoked that I germinated 24 more seeds. I placed them in paper towels on 9/17, and by 9/19, 22 of 24 sprouted. I placed the sprouts into soil using 1 qt paint buckets as containers. Small enough for easy transplant later, but...
