    My fem plant topped itself

    Not sure of the origin of Speed Haze however, it could indicate a less-than completely stable cross. Should be a cool one to grow out, never know what might happen with it!

    Trichome Production & Hormones

    I've heard this before but have never used it for this. Gibberellic acid is primarily a plant growth stimulator and is a naturally occurring substance in most plants. Here's a couple days worth of reading on the topic:http://www.plant-hormones.info/gibberellins.htm And there's plenty more...

    Trichome Production & Hormones

    I became interested in the use of hormone-type supplemental feeding a couple years ago when I began indoor gardening. Being a life-long outdoor gardener I found out there's years worth of reading on the topic of any kind of hormonal treatments, supplements, mutations, etc...I became interested...

    Water filtration Recommendations Please

    Have you ever had your tap water tested? Does your city provide results from their regular testing requirements? I'm only asking because I had a big concern over this when setting up a distilling operation. What I found was the levels of some of the impurities were so friggin small that all the...

    Anyone a fan of defoliation to increase yeild?

    One thing's for sure- the quickest way to start the mudslinging around here is to start the debate over defoliating. Here's my two cents: I've grown hundreds of plants outdoors with absolutely no intervention from me whatsoever and they're usually the best yielding plants I could ever hope for...

    Texas A&M Soil Analysis Report results for my outdoor growing media

    Hopefully it won't cause too many problems. It seems a little high but not dangerously so. Maybe another month or two of some good spring rains drops it a bit.

    Texas A&M Soil Analysis Report results for my outdoor growing media

    Excellent, thanks. I really don't know a whole lot about the science going on here so your suggestions help a ton. I'll continue to test PH as I get closer to planting season. I'm thinking I may just leave it alone for awhile unless problems pop up. Thanks again!

    Temps,how low is too low?

    My experience with the cold showed me a couple things of importance. A previous poster pointed out that cold is okay, freeze is not. I've had plants in my attic grow room withstand temps in the high 20'sF. Generally speaking, this temp only last a few hours until lights come back on. I've found...

    Texas A&M Soil Analysis Report results for my outdoor growing media

    Oh, you have no idea!! Sometimes I get down to my birthday suit and just roll in the shit! The earthy smell, the soft decaying leaves and grass. the occasional nematode squirming between my toes, a little sandy deposit in the nostrils and ear canals- it doesn't get any better my friend. You...

    Texas A&M Soil Analysis Report results for my outdoor growing media

    I've been working with a pile of soil for several years tweaking it here and there. This is what I use every year for my outdoor grows. I felt like I had a pretty good batch of stuff so I sent it off to the Texas A&M soil lab for testing. I'm posting this so people can see what the analysis...

    Cannabis Science: Indica or Sativa, Here's How To Know

    Just tested some this morning, Ben. Seemed okay to me. Feeling a little woozy....nap time.

    Shackzilla changed from Indica leaning to Sativa looking, weird

    Thought I would post up a couple new pics from the fourth week of flower. This plant is showing signs of maturity and is really spitting out the flowers now. It seemed like forever before she even showed the flowers and then it just took off. Don't see a lot of trich production yet but it's...

    Shackzilla changed from Indica leaning to Sativa looking, weird

    Damn it! I've tried these methods and failed. I was told how easy it was to put them in a glass of water by the window and forget it. That didn't work. I've tried scraping the last 1/2 inch of the stalk and dipping in rooting powder, that just caused the last half of the stem to rot and die. So...

    Shackzilla changed from Indica leaning to Sativa looking, weird

    I'm new to the indoor growing world. I've always grown outdoors until this year. Cloning is something I don't have a grip on yet. I hear people tell me how easy it is but I've had 5 fail in the last month. I've used a couple techniques that are supposed to be rock solid but something missing. I...

    Shackzilla changed from Indica leaning to Sativa looking, weird

    I actually did take a clone just before I put her in flower. It's slowly showing signs of life, it wasn't a very fast rooter.

    Shackzilla changed from Indica leaning to Sativa looking, weird

    Any yield at this point is welcome! I abandoned this plant and hadn't planned on seeing a single bud but now, I'm treating her like a Queen.

    Size matters? Ideal container sizes and spacing

    My limited indoor experience has shown if the planter is wider than tall, the plant tends to stay on the short side. Taller planters tend to allow the plant to give a longer tap root resulting in a taller plant. This might help you decide size based on your style of growing, space, etc... As...

    Shackzilla changed from Indica leaning to Sativa looking, weird

    This Shackzilla from Sannies sprouted on October 19. It started out in a passive wicking mini-hydro system. At the time it was obviously Indica-leaning, showing fat leaves, no spacing between nodes and just short and fat as could be. She was doing fine for quite a few weeks until one day she...
