    Aerogarden3 - Anyone know where to get the plug things in Canada?

    Hi all, I picked up one of these at a thrift store recently for $7. It seems to be working, just needs to be cleaned up a bit. I know absolutely nothing about these things other than they used to sell them at Crappy Tire, but it looks like they don't anymore. I think I need the little plastic...

    2nd Grow from 1st grows clones

    For a better idea of timing, these 2nd grow clones will be ready about 4 or 5 weeks after their 'mothers' have been harvested. I'm still working on getting a proper rhythm going with these. My new batch of cuttings are about a week old now anf just about ready to put into potting mix. My...

    2nd Grow from 1st grows clones

    I first stuffed seeds into the ground in the third week of September, last year. I kept them in veg for quite a bit longer than needed, to allow me to take clones, let the plants bounce back after the cloning, and finish buying equipment. I got my tent, MH lamp fixtures and digital ballasts...

    2nd Grow from 1st grows clones

    Yeah, I just put a third bamboo stake in it and tied all three together this morning. She is starting to bulk up, and I can't imagine it'll stand up on its own all the way to harvest. Genetically speaking, I think I lucked out with the sole Sour Kosher seed I managed to sprout last year and...

    My first grow...real slow

    Thanks, I'm hoping the Holy Grail is as good as the claims. neither of the 2 that I managed not to screw up were as impressive looking as the SK. What do you think about the Tangie Kosher? Have you had a chance to smoke some yet? I was thinking about getting a pack of Tangie seeds, but I kind of...

    Revolver from Crop King Seeds

    Well, to sum up: 5 seeds. Managed to get 3 to sprout - due to my own ineptitude. Seed to harvest was about 9.5 weeks. Dried harvest was about 2.75 oz The high is stoney and relaxing with a chance of laughing fits. When I first harvested it, before it was cured, the stone was more soaring and...

    My first grow...real slow

    I was hoping the Sour Kosher was going to be ready soon, but it may be a week or so yet I think. The Holy Grail Kush doesn't look as far along as the Sour Kosher.

    2nd Grow from 1st grows clones

    Yesterday I checked my Rogue Thunder plants in the former veg area. 3 of the 5 were male, so they had to go. This made for some extra room; so this morning, I tied down most of the clones and gave everything a good watering. The clones in the tent are looking good; the tall Sour Kosher is doing...

    2nd Grow from 1st grows clones

    Thanks, the bulbs are both 1000W and the hoods are just you cheap-o common, garden variety, $30 jobbies. In the tent I did have some heat issues previously; I bought a 420 cfm fan exhausting from the top of the tent. In the veg area I have a little 6" fan blowing across the lamp from a couple of...

    My first grow...real slow

    To find out if it's a boy or girl you have to switch it to a 12 hours on, 12 off cycle, then it will start to produce flowers. You only want the flowers from a female plant. If you buy seeds, you can get 'feminised' seeds which only produce females. Right now you have a 50/50 chance that you are...

    My first grow...real slow

    I'd definitely recommend getting a higher wattage CFL grow light then. Standard CFLs are pretty low wattage and not really meant for growing. For one plant you can get a 50 W or 100W CFL. That should help move things along nicely. You might also consider a T8 fluorescent grow light set up. A 2...

    My first grow...real slow

    The plant is looking good, in my opinion; though I am far from an expert. When it gets over a foot tall I'd start cycling it on a 12 hour on, 12 hour off period. What are your on/off times now? When you shift to a flowering photo period you might want to consider changing to a "warmer" coloured...

    2nd Grow from 1st grows clones

    The old veg area is bouncing back nicely, my Rogue Thunders haven't shown signs of sex yet though. The clones moved into the tent are doing quite well Sour Kosher The Sour Kosher really produces Holy Grail Kush:

    2nd Grow from 1st grows clones

    You are right, but the tent is so crowded as it is, there isn't room for new branches to grow. Also, the new buds have already come in. My next batch will have more room for training in the tent, that should work out well too. I'm also just trying to get the basics down right now. After each...

    My first grow...real slow

    So close I can almost taste it! Another week or so and I think I can start to harvest, I've had to tie some of these off because of their weight. Sour Kosher Some of these are pretty freakin' hefty! Things are starting to look really frosty! The close ups look good too... And...

    2nd Grow from 1st grows clones

    So, follow up from yesterday's post. The new clones look quite good this morning. They are all standing up straight and looking happy. A definite improvement from the last bunch that were cloned on the cold, concrete basement floor. Here's a picture of the vegging area, which is now a flowering...

    My Arizer Air just croaked on me...

    I have mine running right now, I run rosemary essential oil in a cotton ball in the mornings. It's supposed to help make you more alert and it kills any residual pot smell that might be hanging around from the night before. The black part of the glass should stay cooler, that's what I always...

    My Arizer Air just croaked on me...

    Well, I just got my Air back from Arizer today; actually it's a brand new one. The customer service was great, turn around time was exactly one week from when I mailed it in, to when I got it back. Mind you, the company is located about an hour from me; but still, that's pretty great and I am...

    What do you do with your stems and fan leaves after harvest?

    Safe disposal is important in places where growing activities are not 100% in line with the legal status of certain plants. So...how do you dispose of the excess plant matter? Since it's winter, I have been drying the excess and using it for kindling in my wood stove. Works great!

    My first grow...real slow

    Sounds good. For seedlings I use something called Kick Start by Grotek, it is specific for seedlings and clones. Once the seedlings get some true leaves is when I usually give them some. My plants are about a week or two away from being harvested. The Sour Kosher looks like it'll be providing...
