Growing roses is more like growing grapevines. Roses are woody, whereas weed is grassy. Roses are perennial, while weed is an annual. If anything weed is less demanding than roses. They're less prone to disease and drought. It grows on sandier soils than roses too.

Yeah, I know. That was a little bitchy of me. The thing is, I know he knows more than I do about growing pot, and I'd really like to hear what he has to teach, 'cept what he's saying is frustratingly devoid of clarity. Almost deliberately so... Just speak normal man! If you have something to...

Honestly mate, get back on your ADHD meds. I can barely understand what you're saying! lols

Yeah, I'm seeing the same kind of thing in my grow at the moment too, but it looks like it's strain-related. I have two Skunk #1 and two plants grown from bagseed, and the skunk (while still bushy) have stretched far more than the two bagseed plants. These last two have sat really low for almost...

Perthonality right here! :-)

Can't not think of a single Lara Bingle now. Thanks for that.... :-)

Again sorry about the wavey lines in the pics. My iPhone 4 takes a great pic (more megapixels than my digitial camera) but it doesn't seem to like it when the HPS is on.

Hey OzGirl! Thanks for the input. The coco I'm using is a cheap one from Bunnings which might explain the salt issue. I know Canna coco is soaked in fresh water for quite some time to flush out the salt. Apparently in some parts of the world where they make coco coir they use sea water to wash...

Hey mate, I had a little chuckle when I saw you using the VB bottle as size comparison. Even though you didn't show the label, you gotta know that shit is immediately recognisable, lol. Well done man. It's good to see us punching above our weight for once. The Vic Bitter almost brought tears...

A pic of a male preflower. And a link to a good article with pics: http://www.weedguru.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=26629

Thanks for the pics, but yeah, some pics of pre-flowers would be good.

Graph!!! lols. Very early here...

Hmmf! That rep should've been mine for bringing up the Dual-Arcs! Haha! ;-) I think it would be a great choice for veg as there will be that blue spectrum from the MH, which is the only really good thing MHs can offer. It would reduce stretching in prone cultivars I'm guessing. If you got an...

Yeah, it's a neat idea based in genuine post relativity physics, but I think another poster is correct. I simply believe a lot of the blue is filtered out of the suns rays as it passes through more of the atmosphere for much of the day in autumn. Just like when the moon is close to the horizon...

What about Dual-Arc bulbs? I was looking at one that had a 600w HPS and a 400w MH in the same bulb! Have you tried that? You'd get blue and red spectrum at the same time and it would run on a 1000w ballast.

Ballast is fine. I just tried to start it when the globe was still hot. An hour later it started fine. Gave the plants a good long drink today. Distilled water, Seasol, Amino Acids and epsom salts. See what happens with the normal fertigation tonight and tomorrow.

Nah man, it's all good! The more complete a spectrum you can give the plant the better. :-)

Gonna flush with distilled water too.

I was wondering about the canoeing of the fan leaves, and I just realised what it is: magnesium deficiency. There's that sticky in RIU about deficiencies and how they manifest in MJ and bam, it was so obvious! Also, everyone says that there are Mg and Ca issues with Coco. I was sort of hoping...

Thanks man, I was like "damn, it takes for ever to upload pics!" and I was wondering what the point of it all was if no-one was watching. But you're right, it'll be great to look back on it later. Here are some more pics from today, just showing the difference in size and shape between the...
