Yes, the "top" part of the leaves is where the light receptors are. But don't worry, the leaves will turn and re-align themselves (like a self aiming Satellite Dish) towards the light. It's called phototropism.

The author of your book is an idiot and you can't believe anything he says!

I'm working on my own version of a "Plant Mover", currantly I'm in the "Dream" phase of design (just thinking about it!). The grow cabinet (or grow tent) is "roundish", shaped like a tin can (with the lid removed) turned "upside-down". The lights are mounted in a conventional manner, actually...

I put down all the "Big Name" ($$$) products, a while ago! Not because they don't work, you know they do! Not even, so much, because of the expense - hell, I could easily afford it! My two reasons are really related to each other: 1. I wasn't really learning anything about plant nutrition from...

There is one species of marijuana: 1. cannabis sativa L. Sativa just means cultivated and the L. stands for Linneas (the dude who named it). There are three sub-species (with a fourth under consideration by "The Powers That Be". 1. cannabis sativa - sativa 2. cannabis sativa - indica 3...

I'm thinking about a new light set-up. I want to use 4 x 150 watt Ceramic Metal Halide bulbs. This project is part Trial - part Experiment, so cheapness is my Prime Directive. That leaves me with HPS "Ballast Replacement Kits" as the only reasonable option. The problem I'm having is that all...

Then try adding 4 more feet! I have talked to people who have told me that many plants will grow fine with a high water table - they just spread thier roots out wide, instead of deep! I'm just passing on something that I've heard here, this is not from personal experience. Although I have...

Earthworm castings (Worm Crap) has a very good texture, as well as a relatively low level of several nutrients. It also has a few other "beneficial things" in it. Therefore, it makes a wonderful "Soil Ammendment" - as a "Fertilizer", not so much! I'm not counting it out as a fertilizer, it's...

Dolomite vitamin tablets - oh my goodness! Go to a gardening shop and get some real "Dolomite Lime" or "Gardening Lime", it's not expensive and it will give you all the Calcium and Magnesium you want. Epsom Salts are a cheap source for Sulphur and Magnesium. Get it at your local Drug Store or...

It's not just about the amount of "watts", or even the overall amount of lumens produced! You have to divide that by the number of sq. ft. you are "lighting up". It's all about how much light you are producing "Per Square Foot"! In order to make "an absurd amount" of light worthwhile, you would...

Yeppers! It's all about keeping the light path as short as possible.

Wherever you are, surely you must be able to find a good, premium grade, potting mix at a reasonable price. If not, you may have to mix your own! FoxFarm also makes a "dry organic fertilizer" called "Marine Cuisine". Check it out at thier website if you want. The ingredients are the same as...

Okay, then dial down the humidity in the humidor to whatever is ideal for marijuana. What is the ideal relative humidity to store cured marijuana at, anyway?

That's still 130%! LMFAO!

Here's how to tell if a plant is "Rootbound": 1. Hold the pot in the palm of one hand. Put the other hand on top of the pot (palm down), in such a way that the fingers fully extend around and beyond the main stem. 2. Turn that sucker over and "tap" around the bottom and sides a little. Not...

Even if they are "almost" the right spectrum, those LED's appear to be "In-Line" - "One -behind-the-other" inside the tube. They are designed to "Light Up" the plastic tube, you can't "aim" them at your plant!

Check the FoxFarm website. They have a "Retail Dealer Locator", I even found a Garden Store in my "little town" and two others within about 20 miles! Why have it shipped if you can "walk-in" and buy it?

Most products don't furnish adequate information on secondary nutrients (Sulphur, Calcium and Magnesium), let alone the other Trace Elements! As I understand it, it is just assumed that a "good" soil mix will contain enough everything except N-P-K! That, kind of, sticks in my craw! And lately...

I don't know what you call them, or even what size they are exactly! But they are big long poles, that kids use to "beat the crap out of each other" in swimming pools. They are made of a semi-firm plastic foam. I think you can just slice them into little "pucks". Might be a little hard to...

Nute burn can result in plant fatality - isn't that enough?
