    Still wasting money on bottled/packaged teas? Here's a simple DIY compost tea bucket

    I saw a video a while ago where a guy made his own worm bins with 2 styrofoam ice coolers. In the bottom one he cut a hole and put a 2litter bottle sticking out of it, so he could easily drain the worm juice out. Another way to harvest the castings is to take some of your worms and composting...

    Plant Age??

    doesn't really matter what age it is does it? If you replant it and throw it into flowering it wont actually start to flower until it's ready. Size is more important than age, especially if you are bringing it indoors.

    where do i report moldy buds?

    I only stick with ones that let you sample one or two strains before you purchase anything. If the people wont show you the bud, let you look at it, smell it, try it, then don't buy it. Not like there is any shortage of dispensaries to go to, lol.

    broken stem in bong

    When ever I have had a stem break in side the bong, this is what I do except with a paper clip (as I usually have one or two around that I've used to clean my pipe). Just unfold the first 2 bends and you should be able to stick it down in there and grab the bottom of it and pull out. If there...

    how

    First you need to learn what that strain likes. Every strain is different. Some like more acid soils, some like to be kept dryer. It just takes time to figure out what your strain responds well too. Just remember, the advice some people will give you will work great for their plants with their...

    What's wrong here?

    I'd say keep it going. Even if the plants don't make it to harvest, it's a learning experience. Take this opportunity to try out different things before you grow out your expensive seeds. The leafs are probably turning yellow because she's getting hungry. Takes a lot out of the plants to double...

    First flush ever!

    If your just in it for the money, then don't waste money on expensive soils and addatives. Just use straight miracle gro soil with water soluble nutes. All you need to do is make sure you don't over water and you'll do fine. It won't taste bad, it won't kill your plants and it's cheaper than...

    First flush ever!

    When you go to sample the dried products. Have a friend pack you small snap bowls of each with out telling you which is which and try to guess.

    First flush ever!

    I personally am not a fan of flushing. Especially the traditional 2 week straight water flush. I would not continue to flush just one plant if I were you. Feed it like normal instead of flushing it. When harvest time comes, look at which plant is bigger, looks nicer, smells better and smokes...

    Third grow, second time with same problem (pics included)

    If you have noticed that it's with the same strain, the same additive and you get the same results, you gotta change something up. Try dropping your ph down to 6.3, don't britta filter your water (that just takes out somethings you want to keep in the water). Ask your friends mom's boyfriend (or...

    Single leaf growth...

    first node is at the bottom of the plant. It's not unusual for the plant to have single leaf growth from an area that was cut. It's just the plant restarting it's growing cycle in that area. In time it'll start producing normal leafs again.

    How often do I water in 1 gallon pots/when do I transplant?

    Easiest way to tell if you are giving your plants enough water is to give em water until it starts coming out of the drain holes. Give it a few minutes and feel how heavy it is. Now you know what your plant feels like wet. Now wait until you see the leaves start to droop a little and feel how...

    Ventilation of Closed Closet During Flowering

    My closet grow has never had ventilation, period. I have a fan in there to move air around, but my ventilation is the doors being open. I painted the inside of my closet with Killz, have a small fan for air circulation and a couple of damp rid buckets to keep humidity under control. Never have...

    First Grow: Will my babies be ok? [pics]

    pictures don't seem to be working. with out seeing it I would ask you what strain it is. The plants can turn all sorts of colors naturally given the right environment and the right genetics. Light burn wont turn em purple. They will either start bleaching out and getting white, or they will...

    Flushing soil... 1st grow ever... am I doin this right?

    Don't bother with flushing agents. Plain ol' ph'd water will do the trick. Just pour about 3x as much water as your soil can hold into your soil and you have just flushed your plant. Over Ferting isn't the end of the world. If just the very tips are burnt then it doesn't sound like you hurt 'em...

    Soil Grow

    Any soil will work. Miracle Grow Moisture Control soil will even work. Hell if you have your PH right, MG is great. There are a lot of people on the forums that will boast about how you have to use FF, or Orangics, or some other $20 bag of soil. With the right nutrients, you can get away with...

    Is my plant a female or hermie?

    picture is way to far away to tell. Get a closer picture. The sex organs start showing at the base of new growth usually.

    Getting Bunched Up

    I would look more into bending the fan leaves off to the side, or tieing the whole plant down so that the new growth gets more light. As for the seed, did it look like a marijuana seed? If your using organic soil, there's often times seeds in it from various plants or weeds.

    Alright, here's a question that's been bugging me

    You have to take into consideration what made the herm. Was it something you did intentionally? The seeds you get from these plants with be femanized seeds but they will be more likely to herm from what ever the mother plant hermed from. Say it was from the light stress, the new seeds with have...

    Need Help... Buds looking worse

    I'd say next time give your girls (if you grow the same strain in the same soil and set up) veg ferts a little longer than you did this time, or give her a shot of N halfway through flowering. Then again I am one of the people who doesn't believe in pre harvest flushing.
