    Using garlic plants to control mites?

    I have read on other gardening websites that you can plant garlic next to peppers and it will repel "red" spider mites from your peppers.. So to all you horticulturists, why wouldn't placing a garlic plant in your grow area repel the little bastards for our crops as well? And, as an added...

    Drying in 100% humidity.. Any advice from US Pacific NW growers?

    I grow in an outbuilding that is not heated or sealed. I chopped and hung 2 plants last week, and the buds no longer feel wet or sticky to the touch, however they do not feel as "crisp" as the stuff I harvested in the summer and hung for 3 days from wet to dry. So today I trimmed and jarred...

    I want to give a BIG kudos to everyone here!

    I have learned so much here since I started reading in Feb, and I have just harvested about half of my two outdoor plants, and I'm looking at about 2 units wet of beautiful sticky Blue Dream. For anyone who reads, and inputs, I want to say THANK YOU! Even to the inflammatory trolls, because...

    First outdoor grow. Am I just being impaitent?

    Does outdoor finish just like the indoor stuff? My pistils are still very long and white, but the buds are swelling nicely.. Should I be going by trichomes or by the pistils. Will add pics later for your critique..

    Grafting Cannabis

    I saw a video on Youtube where someone grafted one strain of cannabis to another strain, very much like one would graft a citrus tree or rose bush. My question is this: By grafting a cutting onto a plant, with the cutting retain it's genetics (like a tree that grows half oranges and half...

    The hippie speedball

    A stoner friend of mine once explained this term to me as a double expresso and a bowl. I saw this, and thought what better of a vessel than this. www.zangproducts.com I apologize if this link violates any TOS of the site, but I just thought these were really cool for a wake and bake crowd.

    Fire OG clone - Leaf tips turn brown

    Hey everyone, got a problem.. I bought a Fire OG clone from my dispensary and have been having the same problem with it for about 3 weeks. New leaves sprout fine, grow out to about 1 1/2" long, then the tips turn brown and die. The rest of the leaf stays green, but just the tips turn. I took...

    Resetting timers to combat heat.. Pointers?

    So now that it's really summer and temps are pushing 100 degrees outdoor, I need to run my lights at night when it's cooler since there is no a/c in my outbuilding. So going from 6am to 6pm (Yes, the girls are in flower for about a week and a half) I want to change them to a 7pm to 7am...

    Heat comparison: 400w HPS > 600w HPS > 200w t5 + 200w CFL

    Any ideas which run hotter? I have 200w flouro plus 200w CFL, and wanting to upgrade to a HPS. I have a 6 ft x 3 ft x 7 ft closet in a shed outside where I am growing, and temps already are hitting 100 degrees inside the grow closet with the t5 and the cfl. What I am wondering is if the...

    Outdoor reveg of indoor harvest?

    Hey everyone. I have a Purpleberry plant that I harvested a couple weeks ago from an indoor grow, with intent on re-vegging.. My first harvest was small (first grow ever, and plant stretched on me), but the bid smells AMAZING, so I thought I would try to reveg and LST it under my lights...

    New life into an old ice chest..

    Howdy everyone.. So I always joked with my friends that have smoked weed over the years that weed does NOT lead to crime. I agree with Dennis Leary completely when he says it leads to carpentry, as you try to figure out what you can make your next bong out of. Now I realize the carpentry...

    First grow. Under T5 lights. Grade me!

    Total n00b here. This is my first grow under any light. Under a 4ft 4 bulb grow light. I have a Grape God, a Purple Berry, and a White Widow. I think they are close, but I'm not sure. I haven't seen many, if any amber trichs yet. And no, being the unorganized beginner I was, I did not note...
