If you're really short on cash, go with the Miracle Grow soil. You can get a bag at Walmart or Home Depot for about $10. It has some nutes in it that will cover you for at least a month or more, depending on how nute hungry your plant strain ends up being. You don't want to be adding any...

Was thinking of trying to save some pollen from a few males I've separated and banished to the basement 'boys room' I set up - timer, CFLs, and a box from a big microwave. I plan to dab a bottom bud or two on my girls so I can get a stash of seeds. How far along should the female buds be...

The damn thing finally showed...and it's another boy! Guess this one was just 'ridin the short bus' behind all the others. What luck I have - 6 out of 8 plants turned out males! I had two Short Riders, two Blue Mystics and two AK48s, and only the AKs are girls. I'm hoping that means the rest...

Have a couple AK-48 girls that are just 11 days into flower now. I was planning to put them into larger pots (going up to 3 gallon from about 1gal), but think I remember reading that stress from repotting could hermie them. Is it too late to gently switch them to a larger pot now that they've...

Thanks Jondamon. It's been 11 days since switching to 12/12, and I was just getting anxious because the other 7 plants have shown already. I also gave the cloned top of the plant in question to a friend, so I'd like to be able to tell him if he should pamper 'her' or execute 'him' as soon as I...

Do male plants usually show faster than female? Also, do the female preflowers look similar to the male pods at first appearance? The male pods are showing in clusters of at least 3-5 pods, but the one plant I'm not sure about yet has similar looking things in single spots where the branches...

The vanity light comes in everything from 3 to 6 light models, and you can use the "Y" splitters on there too. The up side to doing the individual extension cord and plug setup is that you have the flexibility to raise light pairs as needed if you have plants growing at different heights. I...

Sure...sorry I didn't remember to leave the link to the thread on topping. Uncle Ben is a veteran grower here and he really knows his stuff! Read the first few pages and you will learn enough to get the job done. He's a very good teacher - I got it right on the first try, and the results were...

I have some AK-48s that have been vegged for 8 weeks and just finished the first week of flowering. One appears to be showing male now and I was thinking of keeping it in another room (far away from grow) until I can collect some pollen from it. How long would it take for it to mature enough to...

I'd say AK-48, since that seems to be growing well for me. I have two Short Riders, but they're both starting to show as boys (seeing tiny bunches of balls) so I guess I'm not going to have any Short Rider to try yet. Blue Mystic is a nice strain too, and my 2 are growing beautifully, but one...

Go to Home Depot and get a couple "Y" splitter bulb sockets - about $2.50 each...then you can put them into a smaller socket that has a plug on it (usually found right next to the "Y" splitters on the store shelf). Plug into a medium to heavy duty extension cord and hang them above your grow...

Here is a link to a great thread from a veteran grower. Uncle Ben knows his stuff, so read at least a few pages and you will learn some very helpful information. Good luck! https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html

Here is a great informative thread on topping from a veteran grower here. Uncle Ben knows his stuff! Read at least the first few pages and you will learn some useful info... Topping will keep your plant shorter and bushier, and may increase yield over single cola plants...

Yeah, I'm thinking the shoebox or paper bag would be the way to go...and DEFINITELY be extra careful with your driving so as not to invite any traffic stops that could catch a whiff of your goodies in the trunk. If you air it out for a few minutes while you make a rest stop to pee or grab a...

The 26watts should be just fine, and don't put out that much heat anyway. Use the Y splitters, and you could also just get one of the 'socket to plug' adapters for that and put it straight into the extension cord. That adapter will essentially give you an extension cord that ends in a light...

I would definitely check the wattage on that light to be sure you are not keeping it too close to your plants...but as for "browning of the leaves", I don't see that in the pics you have up. The third one shows a very nice green and healthy looking plant, and the second is obviously under hps...

Need to keep costs down, so I can't really load up on expensive nutes...just wondered if I should double up and use the Schultz that I already have, along with the Fox Farm Big Bloom I just started using (since the FF is very mild). Anyone think this is a good idea, or would it be too much?

Here are some great tips from a veteran grower here at RIU. Uncle Ben knows his shit...read at least the first few pages and you'll learn some very useful info. Good Luck! https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/267989-uncle-bens-gardening-tweeks-pointers.html...

My plants are in their first week of 12/12 flowering. They're in soil, using CFLs and were vegged for 8 weeks with Schultz 10-15-10 nutes. I've given them a dose of the Fox Farms Big Bloom since starting the 12/12 schedule, and they seem happy with it. As the Big Bloom is organic and rather...
