    Sativa or indica?

    Not in my experience they don't. Most all of the weed we used to get in the upper midwest in the 70's came up from Mexico. I KNOW this. ;) Okay, so everything that was in Mexico was landrace sativa. There was no Indica. ON OCCASION, we would get a batch of the skunkiest, blueberry on the face of...

    Lighting Decisions are haaaard.

    Those new Vivo Sun lights are looking really well-built and they always get rave reviews from the MIGRO channel.

    Help with lights

    You can't run a 600 watt bulb on a 400 watt ballast and you also can't run a 400 watt bulb on a 600 watt ballast. A "conversion" bulb is, like, a 360 watt HPS bulb that CAN be run on a 400 watt metal halide ballast...and I think there are also metal halide conversion bulbs that can run on an...

    Why "flip" to 12/12 instead of a gradual reduction?

    Why "flip" to 12/12 instead of a gradual reduction?

    I was considering trying out the light reduction method for flowering this run. It got me wondering if the same thing would hold true for switching the plants into flower mode by gradually cutting down the veg-time hours instead of drastically just flipping them all of a sudden. Thoughts?

    Drying in a fridge

    Yeah that's kind of confusing, isn't it? I read that and thought, "Oh, cool! I can just throw some dried buds in there and it will do the rest!". But then I realized they really better for long-term storage -IF they are heat-sealed. Jars are still a better way to get to that point, though. Once...

    Has anyone ever gotten 100% males?

    Okay so I've been waiting and waiting for these dogs to show some more preflower development that would have made me 99% certain these are males.....Guess what? Now it's looking like I was wrong and they might be girls, after all. All I can say is....DUH! Anyway, all this time I'm thinking...

    How to make dabs last longer

    To maximize the effect, you need to minimize the use. For me, dabbing is a connoisseur thing. It's like a treat or a dessert. It should be done with ultra-clean glass dabbing rig with non-chlorinated water....and top-tier rosin only. It's not an everyday thing for me.

    Help with mother plant!?

    Man, there are SO many variables involved...what kind of soil you use....nutes...etc. If you're just guessing and worrying about pH, then you need to ease your worries by doing some solid tests. I'm just giving you something to consider checking. Sometimes, a plant looks like it is deficient in...

    Help with mother plant!?

    yes! I had to mix my pH in the ~8 range! I grow in 3-gallon garden pots and what I had to do was set that pot inside of a 5-gallon bucket and then top water until the water level came all the way up to the soil line...and then wait a couple minutes for the bubbling to stop (trapped air pockets...

    Help with mother plant!?

    By the way..I used the General Hydroponics (brand) pH test kit...the one that uses the drops. And I adjust the pH with General Hydroponics pH UP and pH DOWN as needed.

    Help with mother plant!?

    A slurry test is when you take a sample of the soil mix (preferably from a lower part of the pot...like extracted from a drainage hole....not from the top of the soil) and you mix it with some distilled water and then wait and allow the muddy water to settle and separate...then you extract some...

    Help with mother plant!?

    Do a pH test of the runoff. That looks very familiar to a problem I just got through with my grow...couldn't figure it out because I knew the soil mix I was using had plenty of nutrients in it...As a last resort and because I couldn't figure out what to do (besides running for the bottle of...

    Vent help with new grow room

    That's a pretty dood idea but that screen won't screen out many of the bugs that will cause problems in a grow. I'd suggest that you add some cheap furnace filter material. That will effectively screen out any bugs that could come in and not restrict airflow.

    Okay someone confirm this for me, please

    Well, NOW it looks like (most) of you were right! It's looking like they are starting to show girly parts! I've got some spade-shaped nubs starting to stick out. As soon as I see the two, white pistols, that will seal the deal! So, NOW, the "problem" could be space. When it looked like I was...

    Sativa or indica?

    It's a hybrid so you won't see any of the really distinctive features of a pure Indica or a pure Sativa. It doesn't have the super-fat, overlapping, dark green leaf blades of a typical Indica. It doesn't have thin, wispy leaves of a typical Sativa. In my opinion, the whole "Sativa will give you...

    Is a grow worthwhile for personal use

    Growing weed is like getting high in a different way. I love it. It's like I've created my own laboratory and I get to push buttons and pull switches and do calculations and measurements. I can interact with other growers in a kind of "continuing education" program! ;) It's great! Yes, the...
