    Opinions on Watering ?

    Since it opinion I will throw in my two cents.......I grow mostly in 5 or 7 gallon containers depending how big I will let a cycle get and it is at my age the biggest I can pick up and move around. My soil mixture hasn't changed much in years so I only have to do this when I change my mixture to...

    How can I substitute Perlite?

    All the above have their merits, I personally like wheat hulls or rice hulls depending on what is cheapest when I need to add them. They both degrade nicely and add to the soil as they decompose.

    Take a plant from indoor to out.

    You don't want to mess with your light cycle this close unless you are making it shorter than what you are currently running. I guess I am a bit odd but I move mine from inside to outside everyday. When the weather is nasty I keep them under lights for the day or move them them into my...

    rootbound = better buds???

    No a blacklight is just UVa which helps to regulate the hormones in plants, you are looking for UVb for trichome production.

    Burnt top of plants, what now?

    Just get a nice little buzz going and with your scissors trim off the dead parts of the plant like has been suggested. Your plant will recover nicely. Lesson learned under lights if you are going to leave your plants for a few days make sure to adjust everything for your absence. Good Luck

    Amen Gandalfdagreen Amen........In the 60's and 70's we took so much pride in things, so much love for our plants. Today, it is all about the money it seems. People want every gram they can out of a plant and spend huge sums on snake oil fixes, the newest post on how to strip your plant of...

    when to put into flower??????????

    Your answer is all about your set up. How tall do you want your plants, lighting available, container size, etc. If you have 6 feet of available height to your lights safely then depending on strain at about 2 1/2 to 3 feet. If you are under the sun then your available daylight holds your...

    rootbound = better buds???

    If you are trying to increase THC production or trichome production you are best served IMHO by increasing UVb to your plants. This is the light wavelength associated with trichome productions in plants. Here is some input but if you google or other search engine on this subject there are many...

    Here you go, this is the best search engine I have run across for weed. I would say if it isn't listed in here it is just some cuttings off of some unknown strain. http://en.seedfinder.eu/search/extended/

    Regular Seeds or Feminized Seeds

    I've run both fem and reg, but my vote goes reg seeds. One I like a male here and there for my seed production, two I guess I am just more of natural kindof a person. I just read all the posts and what I got out of it is there are many people with problems from hermies. In my exprience, about 45...

    rootbound = better buds???

    Well just my two cents, if you don't know much about growing plants, all kinds of plants I wouldn't try doing that to your plant intentionally. Can it be done, sure lots of care and knowing what and when the plant needs something. Please just learn to grow a healthy plant first.

    Damp Soil!!

    More light won't hurt a thing and 4 days isn't long in that size container and your size plant right now. Just relax, hit the pipe or something and enjoy. Nature will assist you with the grow, as the plant grows the water consumption will go up. Yes you do need a fan for several reasons the...

    Can I trim?? Please read!!

    What God Here said, you aren't even close to having a bushy plant to worry about. You only diminish the usuable light by about 15% passing through the leaf you don't have that many layers. Don't know why a plant would work different in hydro but I do know how plants work in soil, leave your...

    Lady Cane, Sannie's Jack and Herijuana 2011

    Wow did I screw up, going into flower now and I gave them another sip of tea, oops. Just had to flush, they started to claw and show signs of N toxicity. Two days after flush and I am about back to normal again, too much TLC I guess. Anyway they should be fine with the next watering. Took 2...

    Red & Green Stems

    LOL I don't know what strains you have. First welcome to RIU. Many plants will have red or purplish stems, some almost totally, some here and there. This can be caused by genetics, cold or mineral def, usually by cold or genetics. Pesently I have 3 Lady Cane phenos, one doesn't have the first...

    Moving my plants out into the heat and humidity. Guerilla grow!

    Make sure you protect them from critters they will eat those babies in a heartbeat. If they haven't been in the direct sun yet they need to be hardened off some or plant where they will get some indirect light now. Good Luck

    First Real Grow, 3x Herijuana Fems from Sannies

    Looking very good, I grew this out a couple of years for my wife. I would suggest spraying some neem oil you have bugs, possibly spidermites from the look of a couple of leaves. My wife loves this strain and I am a middle of the roader, I do like growing it and have bred it several times. Keep...

    First grow - made all the mistakes under the sun I think!

    Congrats on your first grow, looking pretty good. One very important lesson I hope that you have learned, your plants are tough and it is easier to kill them with too much love than with a little neglect. I am not saying to neglect them,lol. Welcome to RIU I hope that you enjoy your stay.

    Tap roots showing....transplant??

    Wow if you have a 3 1/2 week old plant outgrowing a 2 gallon container I would say that is very unusual. I would say you have some side roots which are spreading out rapidly but you won't be close to having any root problems this early in the game.

    flipping to flower

    Just put your timer where you want your schedule and go for it to make the switch, one time isn't going to do much to your girl. Personally your next grow just try and keep any dark period during your veg to match your flower time, just one less thing to worry about in the future. Good Luck and...
