Even with expensive seeds, it can be hit/miss. It amazes me how much total bunk there is out there! My God! I see something that says, "Northern Lights #2"....I bite....I grow it....It sucks. I see something else that says "Chocolate Thai"....I grow it...It sucks...I see another variety that...

Viparspectra XS 1500 Pro is the light I used in my 2 X 2.5 Gorilla Shorty tent. At full power (150 watts) is will add a decent amount of heat. At 50-75% power, it generates very little heat. It's a well-reviewed light. I've been using mine for the last two grows and they work perfectly. The...

I presume you are asking about growing....? (as opposed to what to buy at the dispo) Yes, trichomes are what we are really farming for at the end of the day. Of course, there are all kinds of different qualities regarding trichomes, too. Generally, though, I'd say that if you find a variety...

Yeah, I just heard the news. She was a really great singer and had a couple really long-enduring songs that she will be remembered for. Rest In Peace

At this time of year, my basement is PERFECT for the 60F/60RH method. I hang dry the plants for a minimum of 14 days...sometimes longer. Typically, I test the dryness by bending one of the thinner stems. It's pretty easy to tell if there is too much moisture because the stems will bend too...

Yep I saw that video! I kinda like that show. I'll say that I just finished a run of Tuna Kush F2 from Hazeman......I went for it because it was described to be a moderate yielding plant with small, dense buds. But, what I ended up with were HUGE plants with big, donkey dick colas that were...

Soil-LESS mixes -such as Fox Farm, Roots Organic and similar mixes are fine. I'd avoid the ones that have pelletized fertilizer mixed in, such as Miracle-Gro, etc. I add good amount of perlite, vermiculite, rice hulls to lighten it up and make it drain faster. I also have been adding a small bag...

@ttystikk Well, I was mainly referring to the tent growers and not the myriad of other types of growing. But I can envision light-emitting material that could be used to cover the walls, floor and ceiling of any room, not just tents. It's just something I can imagine. The technology doesn't...

Nope. I don't see any problems.

Unfortunately, these companies will be forced to discontinue models due to the need for constantly upgrading next year's model. They can't make new lights and keep all the old models, too. Remember COB lights....anyone? LOL! I'm kidding....but only kinda. They are essentially old news, now. Bar...

Indoors, I use Jack's 321 system and I use Calcium Sulfate to replace the Calcium Nitrate (Jack's Part B) -starting about week #5 of flower. I get the gypsum that is super-fine and is somewhat water-soluble. It's like a super-fine suspension, actually. But, I'm told that the plants can get the...

Day 45 Very tight buds....little knobs along long internode spacing. Coated with trichomes...fruity/christmas tree pine/menthol terps. I wish I had grown them in bigger pots! Oh well....next time!

Do you have a source for those?

Yes, a small amount. Are you thinking maybe too much light?

Well, if all went according to plan, then ALL elements should be deficient in the potting mix. And the little Triangle Kush plant on the right is in exactly the same mix/everything and it's DARK green. (But it's also 20 days younger than the Tuna Kush plants, too.) The bud meat of the Tuna Kush...

I used a CMH spectrum throughout the grow. I didn't tune anything to try and get Fall colors. The plants decided that for themselves. Remember, these plants are annuals. They are designed to grow quickly, produce a lot of seeds and then die -all in one season. We, as growers manipulate things so...

Senescence is normal and I think it depends a lot on the strain. I've always had plants go into their "Fall color" during late flower. Sometimes, I get reds, oranges, purples and very often a bright lemon-yellow. It's a matter of the plants cannabilizing the nutrients (and water) in the leaves...

One of the best investments I've made is getting a scale -like a postal scale or even a bathroom scale. I pack a garden pot with barely-moist potting mix and then I weigh the pot. That gives me my minimal weight. I can't ever allow that pot to go below that weight. Then, I water the pot and...

I was here when Greengenes and Growmaus(sp?) and even "Jeff" from Area51 were all talking about how to build lights. Some of the old homemade designs that Growmaus had were exceptional. No wonder he went on to work for ChilLED and HLG. The boy knew his stuff! All those guys were really looking...

I can say, for sure, that, even when lighting was in the primitive days, back in the 70's and 80's and 90's and everything was the "wrong" spectrum and inefficient and all that, etc., growers STILL grew great marijuana in spite of it. The goal, back then, was to get the "strongest"...
