Shit... I saw the title and thought it was a thread about jimmy Dale Gilmore and Joe Ely's old band...

RIP, Dr. Gray. I've been a big fan of yours for 20 years... and the fact that someone is admitting that they're a fan of a climatologist should, in and of itself, serve as a testament to what a unique individual you were. May your seas always be restless and your skies always astorm. I suspect...

It could be either one, I really can't tell for sure anymore. The one I'm looking at is on the far side of the plant in the photos, and we really don't have a very clear view. When I first posted in this thread, I was pretty sure it was a small branch, but now that I look at it again I couldn't...

You're not altering the genetics at all; the plant just expresses the genetics differently than it ordinarily would if it's under a great deal of stress - and yanking a flowering plant that was ready to die right out of a 12/12 light cycle and slamming it into 20/4 and forcing it to go back to...

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the photos, but it does look to me like one of those leaf structures has two nodes on it - very close together, but it does look like it might be two nodes. Although I'm not as sure of that as I was the first time I looked. If it's got two nodes, it's a branch, and it...

Yeah, but I always throw in some of the upper fan leaves as long as I'm at it. The farther up the plant you get, the more likely the fan leaves have trichomes on the stems and the portion of the leaf closest to the stems. I won't go to the trouble of brewing up a bucket of hash if those were all...

Yeah, it works fantastic! But only for about a week...

Nah, that was a decent price back in that period. Individual beaners were going for around 420 or 450 apiece, and this was premium shit (for the time, anyway - nobody paid much attention to curing back then; just bail it up and load it on the boat). The people we were moving pounds to were...

If you peeled back enough layers, it was the grower we were getting it from. He had a banana plantation in Columbia, and a few boats. Won't say much more than that, but he seemed quite content with the arrangement. We got it in 50-pound bales that came in big paper sacks like cement or sand...

I believe it is, in a manner of speaking. Let's just say they didn't bust everyone, and the people who didn't get caught or got off didn't exactly all get jobs bagging groceries or flipping burgers. If you read "Bluegrass Conspiracy" and "Cornbread Mafia," and spend some time in the part of...

I remember paying $200 a pound for Colombian, but you had to buy 200 lbs at a time. On front street, of course. Sold pounds for between $300 and $350, depending on the quantity. When I was weighing pounds out of the bale, I'd pick the best buds and save 'em - cherry red, bight gold, black and...

I'm no expert on this, because that's not my style of growing, but from what I know about lighting and growing in general, sounds to me like you have a realistic framework. With the right strain and the right pheno, 30 lbs isn't unrealistic. Not a slam dunk, but you probably wouldn't be spending...

It really depends on the strain and the ventilation, and you can't really know until you set it up and give it a go. My advice would be to assume your clothes will smell strongly of weed if you store them in the closet or even near it. As Slab said, there will be some weeks when the smell is...

Yeah, I think it's Nematode Avenger time...

Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful. See, I don't like to trim the rootball at the same time I'm chopping it and sticking it under 20/4 lights. It's taking quite a beating already. Will the plant still be OK if I don't baby it like that? Sure, probably. It's a pretty tough weed. But I feel that...

Hi, Greenthumbs! This is the first time I've ever used them for a cure, but because this is such a complicated harvest I thought it might make things easier. Since this is a pheno hunt, I'm not just harvesting everything into one big pile - I'm separating out the buds from about 5 different...

Yeah, I like em. They have several different RH levels, ranging from somewhere in the mid-50s to somewhere in the high 70s I think, and most growers go with either 62% or 65%. They also have several different sizes, and I use the 60-gram 62%. It's about 3 inches by 4 1/2 inches, just the right...

Yeah, I'm having a running battle with those damned gnats too. Had em all wiped out for a couple of months, but now they're back because I was flushing out some plants and the coco was saturated. They're a little harder to deal with this time because I'm transitioning between 2 runs, and I have...

As long as you don't overwater it or overfeed it, I think you'll be OK eventually. The plant's got to do one of two things - continue to grow (which would be revegging) or die. It's been 2 weeks or so since you chopped her, and she's not dying yet, so it's a pretty good chance she's going to...

I hate to be the one to crack open this can of worms and start the pissing match that usually erupts around this subject, but that's really not true. It all depends on how you treat the clones. If you take a clone at the proper time from an unstressed plant, and cultivate it in a healthy manner...
