I disagree that the closer the better. This is highly dependent upon your growing method and state of a given plant. This will never be the case in everybody's grow. My plants don't like being any closer than about 18 inches from a given light source. Even T5's which can be placed very close...

That is up to you as the grower/breeder, you make the call. After all, we are growing for ourselves. Minuscule pathetic display is quite a broad description and I was simply referring to Farmers Hat's description and experience. If you find plants you like, by all means do as you please with...

I agree. Feminizing and back-crossing are both examples of accelerating the inbreeding process, narrowing the gene pool down to a minuscule pathetic display of plants. In my opinion it is pure laziness to practice either of those. Back-crossing can happen in nature but not often enough for...

We(the growers) generally grow weed to produce seedless bud that you can roll up, pack bowls, etc without having to pick seeds out. Correct? Feminized plants are produced by pollinating a female plant with the same or other females plants pollen. Why does the female plant produce pollen? For...

Your very welcome. I would suggest doing a side-by-side experiment with two-four plants or small clones. Give one or two pH'd water(using one of my recommended juices or something similar) and give the other(s) plain water. Observe and record! ;)

Chlorine can evaporate but there is another enemy in there called Chloramine, it is harmful to plant cells and is also harmful to you. Keep in mind you will be smoking that plant(I assume). It can not be aerated out or evaporate. I would recommend filtering your water with a carbon based filter...

Yes, it can be done. The resulting seeds will produce both male and female plants in 99% of cases. You are likely to observe a higher female:male ratio, although that is not definitive in all cases. That being said, I don't recommend it for a number of reasons, many have already been stated and...

Rule of thumb for me is generally two feet at all times. Veg, flower, clones and seedlings. I grow all naturally and have found through experience that they prefer a light source to not be much closer than around 1.5 feet. It all depends greatly on the source of light. HID's need to be at least...

CFL's can produce some great quality bud and yields if done correctly. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Your success will greatly depend on how well your plant is established in its container. An adequate veg period is very important. More roots=more fruits is what it comes down to. If you...

Big Bloom is all natural and I love the stuff. I use it in my compost teas from time to time with great results. Never had any issues from using it in any manor. IME Big Bloom is a light source for inoculating teas or soil. It will spawn good levels of microbial life but takes some time. It is...

I agree BBbubblegum... Let the soil dry out more before watering, don't worry, the soil can become very dry before causing the plant any issues, in fact it is beneficial to the life of your soil and plant to let it dry out in between watering. Dry/wet cycling plays a large roll in the chemistry...

I agree with waterdawg. I lift each pot to determine when a plant needs water, this will tell you accurately when to water. When a container is "light" or on the verge of being completely dry and the plant is still perky, I usually water at that point. Plants will survive even if there is no...

Hola! I am a new member here as well. 3x3 grow tent in a basement, all natural growing medium, your off to a great start IMO. 6 inch inline fan is more than you will need for a 3x3. I personally would first consider a 4 inch inline fan. Are you going to be in a position where odor will be an...
