LEDs are not the problem. I just grew two OG Kush under household LEDs. Harvested the first one the Friday before Thanksgiving. It will knock you on your ass! The second is coming down tonight :D You may have just gotten some bad inventory of seeds. It wouldn't be the first time something got...

A lot of modern cannabis breeding projects are commercial ventures. They breed for high THC content. They breed for high yield. They breed for "bag appeal". These things are marketable and highly beneficial to commercial growers but not necessairly for consumers. Selective breeding by it's...

@dopetoker420 Sorry for derailing your thread. Grow them out. It's like a box of chocolates.

There are lots of good reasons other than civil disobedience to do this. The local ditch weed is hardy and can survive and thrive in the local climate. That's exactly what I would want in my plants. One word answer: Ruderalis. Growing outdoors, random pollination is always a risk. If you grow...

Greening the nation, one county at a time. The government can spend all the time and money it wants to eradicate my random grows. Better to keep them pursuing something innocuous like weed than have them causing real harm. I wish everyone would do it. At some point it will become just another...

Here's a pic of a plant I revegged. It was originally in a 5 gallon pot. I cut it back to just the woody branches with one green sprout on each branch. I cut the rootball back and it's now in a 3 quart pot. For the last three months it's only gotten water. I do lots of stuff just to do it. I've...

Flowering clones take a while to reveg but it's cool to do just to do it. Plus, if you have a plant that's flowering especially fast or abundantly, you can cut a clone and grow it again. Reveg the existing root ball. You can cut the rootball back by about 1/3 on the bottom and 1/3 on the sides...

Let 'em grow. You can have lots of fun with extra seeds. If you know a place where local law enforcement likes to set up a speed trap, drop a handful in the nearest soil. If you've got commuter trains in your area, throw some across the tracks from the platform. Next to a bus bench. In a ditch...

Way to go pulling seeds and then regrowing for bud. I usually go the other way. Pull bud then clone for a seed run. You betcha! I've pulled clones from flowering plants. The buds don't really die, they just get resorbed by the plant. Your regenerated plants will flower fast. I've also cut back...

I'm with @MickFoster . I just put my seed in the hole. All kidding aside, Rapid Rooter's are great. No need to mess with anything else. The quality of your seeds will determine how fast they sprout. I've had 6/6 pop in 24 hours and I've had 1-2 day over the course of three days. Most if not...

To the OP. As others here have said, Fox Farms Ocean Forest is a "hot" growth medium - it is precharged with a lot of nutrient. Depending on the volume of soil you're growing in, you may not need to add more nutrients for the duration of the grow. Your plants will use what they want to use and...

I'm generally unimpressed with the performance of a 4" carbon filter. It's better than no filter at all but both my kids have said, "Dad, your house smells like weed." And that was before I put a bonsai mother in my living room as a decorative plant. I grow in a bedroom closet and it's not...

I'm not a geneticist so consider this opinion. Some plants are intersex because it's in their genetics. That can be bred out by not including plants with those genetics in your breeding stock. Some herm simply because that's what plants do to insure continuation of the species. I don't think...

And I have to chime in on energy drinks. I used to drink this Korean stuff called Bacchus D (D for Double). It predates Red Bull and is basically caffiene, taurine and sugar. Tastes like SweetTarts candy. Love the stuff. One morning I skipped breakfast, downed a Bacchus D before work and 30...

Caffiene? I'm a coffee person. Now down to 3 cups/day from 4-6 cups/day. Grind my own so it's always fresh. I'm the only drinker in my house and found, even in 8 oz. bags, preground doesn't stay fresh long enough to finish the bag. My absolute favorite brew used to be coffee shop Columbian...

It depends how hands off you want to be and what you consider acceptable yields. I'm currently running a mix with 1/3 organic "supersoil", 1/3 backyard compost and 1/3 sphagnum peat based potting mix. I sub-irrigate and just add water for the duration of the grow. Yields are currently at 0.5 to...

Haha. This sounds like the wellspring from whence all funk sprung.

Thanks to @injinji for starting this thread. It has to be the best thread ever on RIU. And, thanks to @xtsho , i just got sucked down an earhole of sonic delight. I've been stuck to the couch for the last three hours listening to Johhny Hammond...

My dad listened to jazz. After he died my mom worked two, sometimes three jobs. I asked her for a radio alarm clock so I wouldn't have to wake her in the morning when i went to school. I fell asleep to "jazz in the night" on the local public radio affiliate every night. The Kings of Bebop played...
