    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    Thank you for the quick reply FranJan! I'd sure love to grow some 5ft trees, the only limiting factor being our start up capital. We have in the region of $300 for the light. What would be the most cost effective lighting option for a room of this size? How many plants should I try to grow...

    I have a grow area of roughly 10sq ft (3sq m) and 7ft height. I'm looking to grow 4 plants in this area. Could anyone recommend the required wattage I would need? Any grow lights in particular known that would be suitable for this space? Only flowering in this room, so will I need specific...

    ? On drying

    I've just air dried some pocorn nugs, after 3 day the stems snapped but did not break completely break in two, then, after 12 hours burp the jar (or ziploc) for 2-4 hours and repeat. This will re-distribute the moisture evenly throughout the bud and allow for a smooth even smoke. From what i...

    I still think the main cola is going to get a lot fatter - not gonna chop just yet, I've come this far! Quite a number of the white hairs are turning brown and starting to recede, and the smell is getting crazy dank! Very excited about this plant :)

    if i release one of the supports, the cola leans over (like that famous leaning tower) but it allows for more space between the light and the plant. Would that be bad for the plant? Im so scared i snap it off! haha

    I have 8" between top of plant and light, and 12" below the pot. I dont know if I can tie it without damaging the plant, there is alot of strain from the weight of the main cola. Already had to tie "supports" to it. Going to add CFL's today, will take a picture of the set up :)

    7 Weeks in, how much longer?

    Quick question, is the vertical growth of a plant not supposed to slow down/stop towards the end of flowering? i.e. No longer growing towards sunlight, but rather focusing on reproduction? If my plant keeps growng at the rate it is, im going to have to find a way to raise my light - but then I...

    I'm going to get a pocket micoscope, and use the two methods in conjunction with each other. That way i'm sure i'll get the timing right (that and the photo's i post here) Will post more pics in the coming days, we can watch these buds develop together :)

    Whos got a speedy 1 week flush method?

    What do do is water with take PH neutral water, RO water is the best. Then water with 2-3x the volume of your pot. There will be a lot of runoff, so be prepared! I normally stand my pot on a large plastic container (10gal) with holes made in the lid. When the there is no more runoff, remove...

    Thanks DST! I really appreciate the feedback from someone who has such experience! Some of my pistils are turning brown, does that mean that my calyxes are going to follow suit? Not impatient, just want to ensure I get both size and THC levels at a maximum! haha. Bit unsure of myself, given that...

    Thanks DST! found that post very helplful, and it makes more "botanical" sense than trichome watching. Every strain, and the different pheno's thereof do have vastly different interactions with the external environment. That being said, i completely agree that we can't apply a...

    7 Weeks in, how much longer?

    It starting to get a lot more frosty everyday, at a rapid rate. I have been using a 0-6-16 plant food since 2 week of flowering, with a Kelp based growth stimulator (contains cytokinins and natural auxins) since the 4th week flowering. Although, i saw very slow/stunted growth in the first 3...

    This girl is a Amnesia Haze x Manga Rosa I got from The Attitude seedbank. This is my first grow, im doing it under a 250w HPS in a 2:1 soil: perlite mix. Had a bit of trouble with excess Nitrogen during flowering, but think I have that under control at the moment. Week 7 flowering: i...
