I agree it's not worth arguing over. However you seem to be confusing the definitions of "alternating nodes" and "opposing nodes".
to me, alternating internodes means a set of leaves coming off of the main stem. early on, they're straight across from each other. to me, staggered internodes means the set of leaves aren't directly across from each other, coming off of the main stem. this is the first i've heard of "opposing nodes." i've never seen a young seedling with internodes (a set of leaves, coming off of the main stem) that weren't directly across from each other, have you? it seems that they stagger once they get older.I agree it's not worth arguing over.

Thanks for your thoughts and concern.Good luck with your grow and getting off of the Oxy. I'm a chronic pain patient and was on that crap mixed with some morphine for over 8 years ( All prescribed by my pain management physician) and getting off of it is the worst. It worse than the pain that it is prescribed for. The MJ helped me with the withdrawl and helps more with pain and sleepless nights than the Oxy or Morphine ever did.
I'm glad to see that you beat the big C. You'll get as much advice on RIU as you'll ever need and then some. These guys are very experienced and know just about everything about growing your MMJ. Again, good luck with your grow and everything else!
Man you were on some heavy meds, I take about half what you were taking although it is getting to a point whereNo, I'm completely off of it. I was prescribed 120mg of Oxy per day (40mg 3x/day) and 120mg of Morphine per day (60mg 2x/day) and Percocet instant release for breakthrough pain. When I realized that my dad, who had pancreatic cancer, was only prescribed 30mg of Percocet per day I decided that my chronic back and neck pain didn't warrant all of that pain medication. I weaned myself off of it slowly by taking one less pill every 2 weeks or so and when I was down to 1 pill, I cut it in half and so on. It was a long slow process.. but I feel better being completely off of it.
There was a point at which I was forced to go cold turkey for a few days and it was one of the worst experiences of my whole life. My prescription ran out and my doctor was on vacation. The other doctors in the office refused to refill my prescription for some reason.. probably due to liability or something. I can say that was 3 days of pure hell and another reason that I decided that I didn't want to take it anymore.
With the MMJ, I don't have to worry about running out and it does wonders for the pain (5 herniated discs and chronic sprained muscles in my neck and back) and anxiety.. not to mention pretty much curing my insomnia.
Now if we could only pass a medical marijuana bill in my state, I'd be set.
The Neems oil is what I am using and it seems to work pretty good!Awesome thread Goatman.
For the bug situation I suggest organic neem oil applications once a week, that'll keep the general bugs at bay.
Do you get Earth Juice nutrients where you live?.
Also recommend a heavy Afghanica type strain for pain(Deep Chunk,Taskenti), any middle eastern indica is really good for pain or to ease any bad side effects from meds because they usually have quite high levels of CBD. Plus you can make awesome hash out of those indicas which can really put you to sleep.
I have an appt. with my doctor thursday, I am going to have him to up my doasge. After about 4 hrs. the pain relieving is about gone. So one every 4 hrs. or a higher mg.You're very welcome. I know how you feel in the mornings.. it can be rough.
Just take it slow and don't try to step down off of those meds too fast and you'll be alright.. You can do it. I recommend a heavy indica at night while weaning off. That's pretty much all that I grow because it helps with the pain and sleepless nights. I've got some sativa picked out for this year but they're mainly for close friends.
How much longer do your ladies have to flower?
Let me say I have absolutly No Idea how to that!!! But I would like to hear more about it>LED produces very very little heat, keep it as close as you can with a good light distribution as well, so not too close but not far away like a HPS(12"). Seedlings don't seem to elongate or go spindly if far away from the led lights(12"+), different story with CLFs.
CLFs can be almost touching the plant without problems and are good for putting in gaps to get some growth underneath the main canopy.
"Are you planning on breeding with that male?. Best of luck to you mate and I hope you end up with some good medicine.
Thanks for all the info. on the LEDSLED produces very very little heat, keep it as close as you can with a good light distribution as well, so not too close but not far away like a HPS(12").

You can either leave the male alive to pollinate your female plant or collect the pollen inside(put it near a window) so it doesn't pollinate the whole plant and you can just use a single branch for seeds. Na definitely don't smoke anything from a male plant, no way near enough thc content to get you high or have medicinal qualities.Let me say I have absolutly No Idea how to that!!! But I would like to hear more about it>
I plan on chopping the male up tomorrow. It is about 5' tall and healthy as could be, just got
all those little Pollen Sacs covering it. What I do with those leaves? I have been reading that some say you can dry them, crumble them and smoke it in a pipe> anybody done that?

Get them into the bed that you have made up,yes before any one says anything by getting them in this early the roots will spread far better you could reall do with a t5 over each of them,if the days are long i would have done auto's can't you plant them out side the green house,becasue the yeild will be far greater.!st, a lttle about myself, Cancer survior,OLD-71, On OXY for 1 1/2 yrs., want to try MJ to control immense amount of pain. Want to grow my own, got a medical MJ card here in AZ. usa.
Found Nivana and bought seeds and other things I will need. Been reading a lot about how to get started.
I have a temperature controlled greenhouse normally kept at 85 degrees Farenhite. I included some pics.
What I need help with right now is, I have 2 seedlings that a friend gave me, my stuff from Nirvana will be here in a couple weeks. These are in 4" pots with Black Gold, pic. attached.
I have no idea what strain they are. but I would like to try to grow them. Today I went to SEA OF GREEN, a shop here in Tucson. This is what I got, Ocean Forrest, Light Warrior, Perlite,
Vermiculite?, Dolomite lime,Ready grow Plugs,ect..
I will talk about what I have coming from Nirvana later but right now I need some advise on the next step with the 2 seedlings that I have right now.
I bought 2 3 gal nursery pots today and I hope t put them in those pots.
Now my questions are,
What do I do next with these 2 seedlings.
My intention is to put them in the 3 gal. pots.
Any advise will be more than greatly appreciated.
In the meantime I am going to keep reading this forum and learn as much as possible beffore I get my seeds and stuff from Nivana.
Thanks Bill
YOU guys are Great and thank god for this site!!
