    A Little Marijuana Info Some Might Find Interesting

    What ever happened to cannabis afghani? I remenber a year, or so, ago cannabis afghani was supposed to be recognized as the fourth sub-species (after sativa, indica and ruderalis). Anyway, it was being touted as a contender for the 4th "Slot" - then, nothing, all the "Hoop-la" just went away...

    New Grow Room Light Help!

    Assuming that you are "talking" feet, the answer is 9 or 10. I think you better do some more reading before you start off with something that big!

    What kinda plant is this? (pics)

    Well, that second round of photos makes it clear! I don't know what it is - but I know what it isn't. It isn't cannabis!

    Mushroom drying tek on weed

    Anything that "speeds up" the process is probably a bad idea! The only good reason to dry "faster" is to avoid "mildew like conditions". Other than that, the longer you take to dry and cure the better! Fast drying can lock in that "alphalpha" smell and shortcuts in curing can produce "harsh"...

    legally... what is the definition of a mature plant?

    I can't argue with that! But sometimes "Legal" definitions are just plain bullshit! The phrase "mature plants" is usually used in terms of "allowable numbers" and the only number that really means anything is the number of plants you're allowed to have in "Flower" - anything else is just a...

    How low would you go ?

    You bring up a good point about a subject that very seldome gets mentioned, namely "The difference between Ambiant Heat and Radiant Heat". Radiant Heat is that warmth you feel on your face in the morning when the Sun first comes up and everything else (the pavement and the air, etc.) is still...

    if you have bud in a sealed stamped envelope can cops not go into it cause its mail?

    Let me get something straight. Are you talking about just having this "Stamped and addressed" envelope (containing weed) on your person - or actually "Mailing" it through the Postal system? If you are intending to mail something through the Post Office, I don't think it becomes "Mail" until you...

    What kinda plant is this? (pics)

    It appears to be the exotic (and somewhat rare) Western Faux Cannibis. The telltale sign is that it grows sideways! But, seriousely folks, it's kinda hard to tell from that picture, a close-up of the leaves would be a big help! The leaves "seem" to be serrated, but not quite. The "Fingers" seem...

    Magnet and Coil + CMH or Digital + 2 bulb (MH and HPS) systems??? what should I do

    Woah there - not so fast! A typical magnetic ballast uses about 10% of the bulbs' rated wattage (so a "400 Watt System" uses about 440 watts). Of that 40 watts, actually used by the "standard" ballast, a "digital" ballast will operate using about 30% less - or 28 watts. The "Digital" ballast...

    nitrogen slow release in soil with peat moss and perlite in it?

    Anything that is meant to be effective for 9 monthes is far to "slow-acting" for cannabis. You want things that will completely break down and need to be replaced in a matter of "days" or "weeks".

    What can i use in soil to retain water?

    Unless you're growing outside, in a fairly dry area, you probably don't really want to retain water - but just in case: http://containergardening.about.com/od/containergardendesign/f/Water_Crystals.htm

    will the fertilizer work?

    Let me get this straight - you got a soil mix with an "N-P-K" of 10-8-6? That will, literally, burn the shit out of whatever you have! 10-8-6 reads like a "Straight-up" fertilizer.

    NPK ratings

    There isn't one ratio that is "The right one!". Actually 15-15-15 is "balanced" and should work ok through veg and flower cycles. It will just leave more unused nutrients that should be flushed out before harvast. A simple "Rule of Thumb" for beginners: During veg, "N" should be twice as high...

    We got a leaner

    No, no ,no - do like The Grow Kid says, well, sort of! You use 2 or even 3 yardsticks (or meter sticks)! Not inside the pot, shoved down into the soil. But outside the pot, held on with Duct tape, rubber bands, string (whatever you have handy!). Just make sure that the sticks are held in place...

    a random ?? please check it out

    If it was just this morning, don't worry. Plants are busy all day long - absorbing light, water and nutrients - using photosynthesis to process these into Chlorophyll and other good stuff that they "store away" for use, later. At night (when the lights are off!), is when the plant actually...

    In November there will be a ballot for legalizing the recreational use of marijuana f

    There seems to be alot of misunderstanding about this Bill. And the media, in general, isn't doing anything to make it more "understandable"! First of all there is that "One Ounce" issue. One ounce is the minimum amount allowed to be legally carried by anyone over the age of 21, in any...
