    Share Cropping NEED YOUR THOUGHTS

    Your equipment and your house? Sounds like an awesome deal...for your friend. Personally, I think you should immediately scrap this plan. How good can his genetics possibly be to warrant giving up 50% of your crop when you can easily get amazing genetics from any number of seed banks online...

    Seedlings growing very slowly, help?

    Are they sitting in stagnant water in the bottoms of those saucers?

    ReadY For THe CrITiCS!! A LITTLE MORE LIGHT

    I think you're on the right track by getting some HID lighting, but you should really consider something much bigger than 70w. Even with fewer plants, 70w just isn't enough. Like DroBlowBoy said, 100w per plant seems to be the general consensus. The initial cost of getting some good lighting can...

    Can A 600w Burn Pistils Over 16'' Away?

    I know it can happen because it just happened to me. I have a 600w HPS in an Adjust-A-Wing reflector and I find that it has a weird light spread, but the thing I find really weird is that it's way hotter on the outside edges of the reflector than it is directly underneath the bulb. So the buds...

    this is why I'm growing

    Anyone selling an eighth like that for $50 should be publicly executed. That's a damn good reason to start growing your own.

    Why isnt she flowering??!

    Not enough to consider myself a good grower by any stretch of the imagination. This has been a huge learning experience for me, and a lot of the things I've learned have been from people here sharing their own experiences. Now I'm sharing mine. I'm not saying I've got it all figured out, because...

    Why isnt she flowering??!

    Lol. I'm not trying to start a pissing contest here. All I'm saying is that was my experience with this grow. Two plants showed maturity, one didn't. The two that did started flowering quickly while the one that didn't took more than twice as long. To me it seemed like maturity had something to...

    Why isnt she flowering??!

    Ok, maybe I'm wrong about that. But then why is it that my two plants that showed sex and alternating nodes before the flip started spitting out pistils almost right away, while the one that showed nothing took more than twice as long? Your experience may be different, but that's how it went for me.

    choice

    I've only grown three strains so far, but of those three, my favorite to grow has been the Purple Kush from Crop King Seeds. But I have to say that in the two orders I've made from Crop King, I have not received a single free seed, which I think is pretty ridiculous considering all their...

    Haha that would explain it. I assumed you got them as seed from Serious Seeds.

    Nice looking plants. Why are the leaves snipped like clones?

    My first grow. a couple speed bumps. feedback appreciated.

    My initial thought after reading your post is that you are severely over-complicating things. For a first grow, I think your feeding regimen is a little overwhelming. Keep in mind I'm fairly new to this myself, but I think that too much love and attention for your plants isn't always helpful...

    Double topping

    There's a good thread about this called LBH's 4 way lst tutorial. I don't know how much difference, if any, this would make for outdoor, but it's worth having a look.

    NewbieQuickStart Bulletproof Guide

    One of the best, cheapest pieces of equipment I've bought for my garden was a $7 soil moisture meter. It's made it so much easier to know when to water. No more guessing and over/under watering.

    simple ? how to store seeds

    I keep mine in black film containers with silica desiccant packs, and I have the film containers inside a larger black tupperware container. This is kept in the back of my fridge.

    seedlings moving away from light?

    How many watts is your CFL? Sounds like it might be getting too much light. I could be very wrong about that, but I can't imagine why else a plant would be trying to move away from the light source unless there's too much of it. If it were me I would try moving the light up a little bit to see...

    Looking for a duct fan/carbon filter

    I got an iPower 6'' inline fan and filter combo from Amazon. It was the least expensive one I could find at the time, and it's actually pretty decent. I can't really say how effective the carbon filter is though because the strain I'm growing doesn't have much of a smell, but the fan has been...

    Weed would be my first guess.
