    So I've been searching through some journals...

    I don't think it has anything to do with the "SuperCloset" itself. I think a lot of Noobies (more or less) start a journal with a lot of "Youthful Exuberance" and enthusiasm - but no experience and very little knowledge. After a couple of weeks (or so) they run into the inevitable "big problems"...

    Can you slow growth but still have healthy plants?

    If you want to slow the growth rate, all you have to do is let the "lights-on temperature" go up to the high 90's (f.). That wont kill 'em, but it will sure slow them down!

    I heard high temps stop growing, I disagree too

    That's exactly the experience I had! I moved to the Inland Empire area in Southern California, sort of between Riverside and Palm Springs. Summers in this area are hot! Starting in mid Spring almost everyday is in the high 90's to the low 100's (that's f.). During the hottest part of Summer it's...

    Post your Soil(less) mix!

    Kalyx, I can appreciate your "100% Attitude", and I certainely respect your adherence to those stringent guidelines. But to insist that everybody has to follow suite, or not be worthy of the term "Organic". is a little over the top, don't you think? I'm not really trying to be flip here, But who...

    Transplanting

    Dude, you don't change the soil! You just add to it, in a bigger pot. No wonder why some people think repotting is a stressfull operation! 1. Add enough new soil to the bottom of new (larger) pot so that the "ground level" will end up where you want it. You can do this by setting the old pot...

    Mixing Fox Farm Nutes

    I don't see anything wrong with mixing whatever your going to use together - as long as you use up all the mixture and don't store it!

    flowering

    There is no clock! Each plant does whatever it does when it's good and ready. There is, however, an approximate time frame for flowering each strain. That "Time Frame" starts when visable signs of a change toward flowering takes place, not when you "flip" the light schedual. Don't count on any...

    Post your Soil(less) mix!

    Thanks for the "understanding" responce! I was really expecting a whole ration of grief for not being completely "Kosher Organic" (is that even a thing?). If it is, I guess I'm what you might call "Sunday Morning Organic" - meaning that I try to follow the organic guidelines, to a point, without...

    Post your Soil(less) mix!

    Alaska Fish Fertilizer (5-1-1) is "OMRI Listed", it doesn't get much more organic than that! As for the "Morbloom" and Marine Cuisine, I realize they are not exclusively organic. I believe the term Organic can be used and still allow a little "wiggle room". It's just a word, not a religion!

    Question About SOG Growing One Main Cola

    The two stratigies you mentioned, essentially "Lolipopping" vs. "larger sized plants" are done for other reasons besides just space considerations. Larger plants require a longer Veg time, plus more care and attention. Smaller plants can give a much quicker "turn around" time (more harvests per...

    Soil Mixes (TheGodBodyStyle)

    Okay, so my curiousity got the best of me and I watched the video. Yeah, it sounds like a legit recipe for "Soil". My only concern was that he used "Jamaican" bat guano (high P) instead of "Mexican" bat guano (high N) for a small plant that still needed more "Vegging". All things cosidered...

    Soil Mixes (TheGodBodyStyle)

    I see it's been 2 days and nobody has answered the OP's question, so, appearently I was right! Two people did respond to my comment though, so I guess I should answer them. Samwell Seed Well said - "so 17 min isnt worth possibly making you a better grower . . . ok " My response - I'm perfectly...

The odds are about 50-50 - very close to what they are in "Black Jack" (if you know how to play). For every 100 hands...

    Soil Mixes (TheGodBodyStyle)

    Do you really expect people here to sit through a 17 minute YouTube presentation so they can give you thier opinion? If you really want some answers; here's what you do. Summerize this guy's YouTube blip down to a simple, easy to read, recipe. Post that recipe here and then ask what we think...

    Messed up venting, can that lower my yield?

    Actually, it is of Primary importence! Airflow is one of "The Six Limiting Factors". Any one of the "Six", if sub par, can restrict yield and growth. If any one of the "Six" is considered to to completely unacceptable, the plant will die. On the other hand, if all "Six Limiting Factors" are...

    How much will I yield from this setup?

    DOBIE GILLIS FOR PRESIDENT - MAYNARD G. KREBBS FOR V.P. ! That's why no one can really answer your question - no one except you knows what your experience level is, especially with those items you listed. It's your experience that really counts, not what somebody else might be able to do. 1...

    Why trim/cut the fan leaves on clones.

    Bingo! It's sort of like a big family. If the bread winner looses his job (a.k.a. - the plants roots), there are just too many mouthes to feed for everyone to survive on whatever, meager, crumbs they can dig up. So they have to thin the herd a little. Maybe set Granny and Grandpa adrift on an...
