And a better light source will reduce that stretching!

Sorry, but the hypnotic power of your Avitar has rendered me speechless!

Sure, lots of people have! Pee is a great source for "free N" (Nitrogen) and wood ash is a great source for "free K" (Potasium). That's 2/3 of your N-P-K requirement for nutrients. I can't think of any good, free, sources for "K" (Phosphorous), right off hand - but there should be plenty of...

For "vegging", yeah! All types of grow lights (except LED's) are fairly wide spectrum, so there really isn't "a hole" in the spectrum that needs to be "filled in". This is particularly true with flourescents. However - even 6,500 K and 2,700 K flouescents can be "Tuned-up" a little. But not...

As long as you have good ventilation going on, you shouldn't have any problems. That shit smells like vinegar, but the smell disapates pretty quickly after it sets and is pretty well gone by the time it cures.

For a new grower, I would advise against adding extra co2. Keep it simple! Just use good ventilation and "Learn the basics". You can always add co2 later - once you get good at it!

I'm not a "Flouro Guy", so take this for what it's worth! Everything i've read about flouros agrees on these things: 1. Plant & Aquarium tubes are overpriced and underachievers! 2. 6,500 K (the highest value for "Daylight" tubes) is the best spectrum for Vegging. 3. 2,700 K is the best...

Some people use "Panty-hose" for this purpose, yes it will restrict the airflow somewhat. Some people use "regular" windowscreen, it will restrict the airflow very little.

"4-Way Mix" 1 part "Store Bought" Topsoil. 1 part compost. 1 part vermiculite or perlite. 1 part composted "Steer Manure". The "1 part Steer Manure" is just a guideline. You can make that "1 part" out of any "fertilizer ingredients" you want to mix together, as long as 25% of the overall...

I'm having problems with the idea of using 6" pots to flower in. You can do 6 plants if you want to, but I'd use at least 10" pots.

You gotta do, what you gotta do! But the answer is no, it's not ok. You should always repot, bigger, just before going 12-12.

I hate to argue (but I never let my personal feelings get in the way). Hemp seeds are bad, Bad, seeds!

This point has been talked about, here, many times. What it all comes down to is "A little bit of knowledge is a bad thing!". People are far to quick to pick up on the concept that "Certain plant developement functions occure at night" - without thouroughly understanding the way the process...

As a general rule, "If it ain't broke - don't fix it!". All the foliage on a plant either contributes (in one way, or another) ,or dies away. You shouldn't trim anything away unless it's: 1. Deseased. 2. Dead or dying. 3. Broken (beyond repair). 4. Physically in the way of whatever you're...

Dude, you don't need to have it tested. I would almost guarantee that you are talking about "Mexican Freetail" bats. They eat insects and have a real high Nitrogen level in thier guano, something like 10-3-1. In Jamaica and Indonesia, the bats eat fruit and have a real high Phosphorous level...

I have used "Gardner & Bloome's" products and have always been happy with them. That "Oganic Potting Soil" sounds good but my local "G&B" dealer (Ace Hardware) doesn't carry thier potting soil. For the O.P. If you're looking for "Store Bought" Organic Soil, reasonably priced, you can't do much...

LOL - I've had that, same thing, happen to me with Perlite. I can only imagine how it would be with styrofoam. But I imagine a little "Mulch" on the surface would cut down on the "turbulance action". I just put a layer of potting mix, without, Perlite on top, "Like iceing on a cake".

I cheated, I looked on Google. I'm not one, by the way!

That scared the shit out of me - I just polished off an ice cream sandwich, no shit! WTF are you talking about?

He's right ! Just mix it with a little Diesel fuel and you have ANFO. Don't ask! Just Google anfo! Back to the original question - Ammonium Nitrate is good for lawns and some farm crops, for cannabis, not so much! It will work, but it's a little too "in your face, chemically potent"!
