    You sure do get conflicting advice sometimes. Grow shop dude said just the opposite. But I trust your advice. Also, I'm like you. I collect as much common sense information as I can, then I experiment a little to find what works best for me. I still just have one room that I'm currently...

    Thank you! Also I had a 1000w MH bulb blow up on me recently (before switching to HPS for flowering). I didn't return it because the shop treated me so well with that ballast swap and because it was probably my fault. I was running it on the boost setting with the glass on and the sides open...

    Thanks but I really should confess one important thing. I showed you the good ones! There was an equal number that I totally fucked up. I tried bringing them back to health for several weeks but wasn't really getting anywhere. So I bailed and tossed them. One positive thing to come from it...

    Here are a couple pics from that first grow, round about mid flower. Sorry about the shitty color. I should correct out all that yellow some day.

    Hey bro I'm not THE MAN just a fellow grower. Sorry about the male. That happened to me once too when I left town for a couple days. I grew them out anyway and they didn't all get pollinated. Only found about six seeds and the rest of the smoke was fine. Of course I'm not suggesting you do that...

    Sorry I meant digital ballast. And soil pH question is answered. Guess I mostly wanted to share my mistakes with the other new growers. I actually ended up running two 20amp circuits to some 20amp GFI outlets to be safe. I melted a 15amp outlet earlier and the breaker never tripped because of an...

    Well fuckin' A then! Thought maybe there was some RUI decorum. I know you're busy but did you read my post about the soil pH problems? Just currious. It was the one before the one you responded to. I did transplant into larger pots with better soil and the girls are much happier. I'm definately...

    Hey bro. Ditto on the appreciative comments you have been getting. Will be doing the supercropping for sure. So in my second soil grow I'm continuing to make mistakes, but definately learning from them and getting better. Regarding soil, as a newbie I was determined to make the ultimate perfect...

    Attaching some pics of the current grow. Still in veg stage. I have the plants in two groups. Pic #1 is under a 1000w MH set up high for now untill plants adjust. Pic #2 is under a 400w MH with light about 6 inches above plants (cant really see the lights in either one) Will send closeups of...

    Sampson, Remember me? You helped me out a lot a few months back. I've been trying to get caugh up on the thread reading before jumping in again. Then I kept reading your pleas for more participation and felt kinda bad. Sorry to let you down man. You definately deserve all our support for all...

    Dickish? Is that a word? No you clearly were not being a "dick" but THANKS FOR POPPING MY FUCKING BALOON MAN !! (Just kidding). Seriously though. Great info man. I must say that there is one plant that I did not trim that way and she is doing great, so I'll take your word for it. Makes me want...

    I'll second that you are the shizzle fazizzle! Minus the polishing part. The girls are turning into very pregnant women. And holy earth mother we thank you! Most especially for your abundance. You have been most kind. Still two weeks to go. Trichs are LONG and milky. I've been clipping back...

    Sweet video. I'll have to watch again on the computer and not the handheld. It had a lot of compression, but I understand. So that's what you sound like. About what I expected. Reminded me of a friend of mine. He was a good old boy from Clayton County Georgia with lots of growing experience too...

    Excellent thanks. That helps. I also really appreciated your suggestions on curing. Sounds really important. Probably a big part of the difference between the good bud and the really KIND BUD! And we both know the type we are looking for! I'm approaching flower week six. My strain says eight...

    Thanks I checked out hashbag.com and that explained a lot. Much simpler than I expected. Will get some when the cash flow improves. In the mean time I'll save the trimmings. But I'm wondering .... Trimming from veg cycle or just flowering? Stem or just leaves? Would cutting stuff up with a food...

    The space heater is working out well. A little later I bought a humidifier also because CO is VERY dry. I think the cold shock a week or so ago slowed the growth for a while. They seem to be doing better. I'm hoping the humidity helps. Do you think it will? Do you humidify? Probably not so much...

    You are the best in my book. Not just your knowledge, but your positve attitude. :) I've been following the golden rule of TELL NOONE about your grow, so it's fun to have someone to chat with. Also, getting lots of helpful advise has made all the difference this time around. I tried taking some...
