    Scientists offer prize for explanation of Mpemba effect

    Not sure if this helps but last winter I went out to my garage and noted that I had two pyrex bottles of water, on shelves a couple of feet from one another. The top bottle was frozen solid, and the bottom one appeared to be liquid. I grabbed the bottle up and felt it, sure enough, it was quite...

    Yellowing,Pale, Dieing leaves...Help

    most likely because he has hard water..... also over watering/underwatering can both manifest in leaf senesence (the plant cannibalizes the nutrients in the leaf---hence the more yellow color---and stops sending it sap, so it dies and falls off) more so especially if a cultivar ("strain") is...

    New Grower. PC Box.

    Best advice I could come up with is to repot to something with a bigger base, and maybe less height, sooner the better. My reasoning: Your pots leave several square inches (maybe 30+) of air around the base, this could be root area. Every inch of height is an inch of flower height that wouldn't...

    clone tomatoes

    BS you can clone tomatoes any time If you cut a healthy tomato plant and put the cutting directly into a glass of water, in 5 days you will see roots. Ive seen it in less but I suspect the stem had already formed rootlets from excessive rain. I've rooted tomatoes that had green fruit on it...

    piercing plant stems ;-)

    i read about 10 pages and no one made the abscisic acid link in that span, if it didn't happen in the pages I skipped over consider this it. Abscisic acid application has been positively linked with THC% increases at harvest. Stress regimens (piercing, pinching, water stress both...

    Mold on hash. Still good?

    The mold seen was probably spore forming bodies, that means the mycelia are probably through the hash and the whole chunk is contaminated and should be considered a health risk. Fungi often thrive in warm wet environments, I wouldn't be so worried about the hash as your lungs after they start...

    Russet Mites

    Forgot to mention: As I said they secrete PGRs as they feed. The few plants I've seen 5+ weeks in flower when these guys show up (even over a foot down from the tops, having probably laid eggs in week 1 or 2) the tops suddenly hermie at week 6 and that is when I noticed there had been some stem...

    power surges..... Hermie risk? anyone? please?

    And the cycle you really worry about interrupting is the DARK cycle. sounds like you got that covered with the ol' agromax tent tho so don't fret the surges, but maybe put your gear behind a surge-protector for peace and relaxation?

    Lighting Issue, Need Help

    In all fairness, a lot of people run 24/0 20/4 veg cycles too, so you could always just leave it. Debatable as to whether the extra hours/extra growth are on par with the extra dineros spent on WATTAGE

    Lighting Issue, Need Help

    if it was just one day it shouldn't be a big deal, especially because the 18/6 period isn't exactly "stressful" or at least in my opinion it is not stressful in the way that generative phase (flowering initiated, for example, by a 12/12 lighting regimen in photoperiod plants) is, I don't think...

    Russet Mites

    Actually I think we're talking more like Serbia/Hungary/other countries near those. Check out this "must read": http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0354-4664/2007/0354-46640701081P.pdf I also recently found this from our brothas&sistas in Montana, i'm pretty sure this is the same group who you...

    Russet Mites

    Yea so spider mites (two spotted and red) are crawly, web-making little buggers that, like russet mites, experience an accelerated life cycle with higher temps (above 78 things get faster and faster, probably peaking around 95). They look like little mini ticks (but with white/brown bodies) and...

    Russet Mites

    Sounds like spider mites bro, russet mites are a different beast and id be willing to bet they wouldn't look twice at your cyprus tree, just sayin. I've never seen anyone claim abamectin (avid) worked in a controlled trial, lots of anectdotal but webs sounds like smites.
