    Is it harmful to veg a long time?

    How long can I hold a plant in veg in 4 gallon buckets without doing any harm? Thanks

    Can anyone help with input on this problem here?

    Yeah that looks like a kitty has been at it!

    Okay someone confirm this for me, please

    I think they should have been showing some pistils somewhere by now...IF they were girls...But I'm just in disbelief that I had SO many males pop up this run....If I am correct, then SIX out of eight seeds turned out to be dudes. I've never had that happen before, but I'm going to purchase...

    Okay someone confirm this for me, please

    The first pic is kinda hard to see...but it looks like a claw. It doesn't look female. So, what does that leave? ;) The second pic looks like another branch coming off the stem, but it's appearing where preflowers should be....So, is it a male? The third one is pretty clearly a boy. Just go...

    Is my plant doomed?

    I'm willing to bet it's a pH issue and not a nutrient issue. My guess is that your pH is very low. My advice is to get a pH test kit and do both a runoff and a slurry test. You could get a pH pen, too, but a decent one is expensive. I know I get criticism for recommending a runoff test, but it...

    Anyone grown Hazemans Chocolate Thai?

    That actually looks like it could be like the Thai I remember. And your pics look NOTHING like the Drawoh's Chocolate Thai from Hazeman that I grew. My plant actually finished really early. It was short and the colas were long and fat and it looked like one of those weird auto flower things.I...

    Anyone grown Hazemans Chocolate Thai?

    I grew it and it's probably one of the most disappointing, weak-flavor/weak effect strains I've ever grown. I was around when real Thai weed was around and this stuff isn't even in the same ballpark. Might as well smoke hemp.

    Don't throw males out....right away!

    If you aren't going to use them for breeding, then use them as teaching tools. Teach yourself how to top, F.I.M., LST, HST....try new ferts...try different lighting techniques, etc. Hey, if you mess up, then no big deal. You always have some time before they are going to start spitting pollen...

    Red light best for budding?

    Sunlight and the fact that most of the plants were specific to a specific region...soil, light, humidity....And each of those strains was well-adapted to grow that way after years of growing in the same places and became unique. Yeah and since they were plants that grew outdoors, the plants had...

    Red light best for budding?

    Man, we used to just throw seeds out into a plowed field near a drainage ditch and then come back at at the end of the summer to see if anything grew...and something always did! Times have changed and now we can get really, really specific about all these technical details....but, so far, I...

    Buds smell like tea .

    It's a funny thing about this whole "sativa"vs "Indica" difference in highs. I contend that a ripe sativa will get you stoned-stoned the same way any ripe weed plant will do. Back in the 70's most of the good weed was couch lock stone weed -because being stoned and melted into the couch is what...

    What is ur Breeder Hall of Fame and shame?!

    The only other person I ever saw make a comment about it was someone who agreed that it was no good. I mean, here's how it is...you spend months and months growing a plant....you hope it's going to be great...looks great....interesting terps, etc....You set your expectations for it...And then...

    Do you consider "seedling stage" to be separate from veg?

    For years, my understanding was that, once the seed germinated and broke through the soil, it was in "vegetative stage". But, recently, I have listened to some discussions about exactly when vegetative stage starts. One person says that there is a separate "seedling stage" -which is defined by...

    What is ur Breeder Hall of Fame and shame?!

    Throw Drawoh's Chocolate Thai F5 in the garbage. I don't know what he was going for with an F5 like that, but it wasn't even in the ballpark for the type of Thai weed that I remember.

    Weird pH issue.

    Well in my experience, if I hadn't checked the runoff and seen the low pH, I would have probably just assumed that the plants were hungry and fed them -which would have only made the problem worse. While a runoff test may not be ideal, in my case, it was the thing that led me to a way to try and...

    Weird pH issue.

    I had the same issue recently. I dealt with it by placing my 2-gallon garden pot inside a 3-gallon bucket and then watering it with water that I had pH'd to 8.0, until the water level was all the way up to the soil line. I let it soak for a few minutes. Then I pulled the 2-gallon garden pot out...

    Grove Bags. Why the hype?

    I use them now. They work. The trick is to get the buds stabilized in jars, first, and then transfer them into the bags. You need to heat seal the bags, too, and then not mess with them for several months.

    WOW! BAD pH issues!!

    Okay...Here is an update on the issue... I transplanted the two females into two, 4-gallon garden pots with some "corrected" soil to which I added some dolomite lime. I raised the ingoing water to a pH of around 8.0 and watered everything. The runoff and slurry tests now are indicating a pH of...
