    Gh Ripen vs Atami Bloombastic?

    Hmmm, I believe I will side-by-side that with my current nutes...you might have just saved me a bazillion dollars, Ill.

    Scrog Nightmare? Pinch/Bend or Not?

    Here's the deal: there are some plants on a 4x8' flood and drain table. They're being top watered, but will soon be switched over to flood and drain. They're at the end of week 2 of flowering, and they're entirely too big due to the last round taking longer than expected to finish, and that's a...

    the ultimate happy/giggle strain?

    Yup, Jilly Bean gave me the giggles. Also some Jack Herer (I've heard there's several phenos, and Idunno which one). As long as that stuff was in town, every damn time I smoked it we all got debilitating giggle fits. Chocolope, too.

    Clearex - 5 Gallon soil flush help - need specifics

    10 ml/gallon is fine, too. I used to use it in the last week of flowering, like this: Feed plants as usual, whatever that means to you, right up to what you've decided will be the last week. Since you're using bigger pots, maybe start flush a week-and-a-half or so from harvest rather than just...

    How do I get my ScrOG to be less bushy?

    Nope, I wouldn't bother, that stuff's compost. IF you got anything out of it, it more'n likely wouldn't be worth the time and effort. And yes, prune away next time! Don't be skeered, hack the fuck out of em! SCROG is all about limiting those options (branches/bud sites.)

    Why do commercial growers NOT use hydro??!

    I'm not saying an 8 weeker can be done in 7, though it might be true...I haven't tested it. But the reason that most strains are listed as finishing within a certain range (e.g. 7-9 weeks) is that some methods (e.g. hydro/flood and drain/rockwool) tend to finish plants faster than others (e.g...

    Problem Germinating. It's been 34 Hours and No Sign of Popping

    Patience, Grasshopper. This can take a few days. Keep those paper towels moist, not soaked, in a nice dark place. I've never sealed mine, dunno if that makes any difference. Check em once or twice a day, but otherwise, don't fuss with em. Good luck!

    Why do commercial growers NOT use hydro??!

    Correct, y'all, and I'd like to add a coupla things... Victory, i've run crops a few ways, and in every case but one, the same plants were finished sooner when run hydro. Less veg time, more vigorous plants overall, and yeah, a few days to a week faster in flowering. Over the course of a...

    Spider mites

    Yup, you have to spray em with something; neem or any one of the more gnarly products like floramite. The most important thing is to spray with REGULARITY. Skip one here, put it off a day there, and before you know it you've screwed yourself but good, and it's the mites' world, and you're just...

    Why is Indo Bud Better Then Out?

    OK...I'll throw in my dos centavos: LOL, East Coast guy, I'm not laughing at you, but with you. There was a time when I, also, thought that a zip was 28, an elbow 448. That's what we call an "East Coast zip/elbow." When talking to our E Coast friends, we call our nice round 454 a "true"...

    Feeding schedule during flowering...E&G

    Tough to answer without more details, but the important thing is that the medium/roots not dry out. What's your medium? Rockwool? What size? Or coco or something like that? In what size pot? What is the climate like where you are? Is it very dry or not? That would affect your feeding schedule...

    Best indoor indica strain? favorite? strongest?

    Yup, Romulan. Def puts a dent in myhead. But mine is real tall and stretchy (came as a clone, so who knows whose Rom it is, or if some joker crossed it with something...) Also, Grape Ape is some of the dick-in-the-dirt-knockingest smoke I've had, and I remember that plant being pretty short...

    to flush, or not to flush

    Today I'm taking down a room of NYCD, at 10 weeks flowering. Some of the room finished faster than the rest, due to a dodgy green light. I'm now satisfied that it's finished enough, so down it comes. The half of the room that finished on schedule has been flushed for a week. That was 2...

    can hermies pollinate females?

    It's not so much an issue of the hermie being NEAR the other plants...'cause even if you keep it at your neighbor's house or whatever, you're still likely to carry some pollen into your room on your clothes or your hair or any one of a million other unfortunate ways. If you're not aiming to have...

    Clones will not root!!!! ! ! !

    Please break down in minute detail how the clone was taken, how it was treated from cut to container, and what its environment is like. Is this a clear container? Is any light getting where the roots ought to be? Was it dipped in a rooting compound or is there some in the water it's being...

    How big of a plant can i grow in a one gallon bucket

    I think a plant in a one gal container should top out around 2 feet, give or take a few inches. If I have clones in a 1 gal pot, I'll flip them at no taller than 12 inches, and that'd really be pushing it. If growing from seed, they should be flipped probly no taller than 6 or 8", as plants...

    cloning advice?

    I use rockwool cubes in dome trays. Sometimes I use 1 1/2", sometimes 2". I dip em in clonex gel. Here's my deal: I soak the cubes in a bucket of water (pH 5.8ish, as rockwool is naturally a little high, and so should initially be soaked in kinda lower pH water), along with some B vitamin...
