Honestly i wouldnt know. I would think it would be ok as long as your lights are proper and have fans to blow and mimic outside. The only thing i think would go wrong is if its not in a pot outside and u clip the roots. But take this advice with a grain of salt. Im on my first grow so dont have...

Ah nice i didnt know about those lol

:)

so i was thinking, if i took a pot and put maybe 2 inches of hydroton on the bottom with a airstone that turned on at certain times (not sure what times). and then had the soil ontop ect ect to grow some green. would that added air help with the oxygen in soil to promote growth?

ODORS AND NEGATIVE IONS Negative ion generators have been used for years now to cut down on odors in a grow room, but reports are coming in that a negative ion generator will increase growth speed and yield. No true evidence to support this, however it does make sense, due to the fact that...

BREEDING It is possible to breed and select cuttings from weed plants that grow, flower, and mature faster. Some Afghan plants will naturally be better than others in this regard, and it is easy to select not only the most potent weed plants to clone or breed, but the fastest growing/flowering...

Cloning goes quickest with the liquid rooting solutions, in a warmed, aerated tray, with subdued lighting and high humidity. Placing cuttings into 1” rockwool cubes in a covered tray works great too. In a closet, you can make space above the grow area so that the heat of the lamp warms the tray...

HARVESTING AND DRYING Harvesting is the reaping of the bounty, and is the most enjoyable time you will spend with your garden. Plants are harvested when the flowers are ripe. Generally, ripeness is defined as when the white pistils start to turn brown, orange, etc. and start to withdraw back...

EARLY SEXING It’s possible to tell the sex of a weed plant early, and thus move male weed plants out of the main growing area sooner by covering a Afghan plant’s lower branch for 12 hours a day while it’s in a constant light vegetative state. Use a black paper bag or equivalent to allow for air...

TEMPERATURE Proper temperature is one highly variable factor. Most books state optimum grow temperature to be 70-80 degrees, but many list extenuating circumstances that allow temperatures to go higher. Assuming genetics is not a factor, Afghan plants seem to be able to absorb more light at...

CO2 is cheaply produced by burning Natural Gas. However, heat and Carbon Monoxide must be vented to the outside air. CO2 can be obtained by buying or leasing cylinders from local welding supply houses. If asked, you can say you have an old mig welder at home and need to patch up the lawnmower...

PH AND FERTILIZERS PH can make or break your nutrient solution. 6.7-6.2 is best to ensure there is no nutrient lock-up occurring. Hydroponics requires the solution to be PH corrected for the medium before exposing to the weed plants. Phosphoresic acid can make the PH go down; lime or potash can...

SOIL GROWING Use Super Soil brand in California, as this is the only known soil on the West Coast that is guaranteed to be good. Many other brands are mostly wood products and have very few nutrients, are too moist, etc. Add vermiculite, pearlite or sand to Super Soil to increase it’s drainage...

GUERRILLA GARDENING Guerrilla farming refers to farming away from your own property, or in a remote location of your property where people seldom roam around. It is possible to find locations that for one reason or another are not easily accessible or are privately owned. Try to grow off your...

PLANTING OUTDOORS Outdoor growing is the best. Outdoor pot by far is the strongest, since it gets more light, it’s naturally more robust. No light leak problems. No dark periods that keep you out of your grow room. No electricity bills. Sunlight tends to reach more of the weed plant, if your...

Hydroponics allows you to use smaller containers for the same given size weed plant, when compared to growing in soil. A ¾ gallon pot can easily take a small hydroponically grown Afghan plant to maturity. This would be difficult to do in soil, since nutrients are soon used up and roots become...

HYDROPONICS Most growers report that a hydroponic system will grow weed plants faster than a soil medium, given the same genetics and environmental conditions. This may be due to closer attention and more control of nutrients, and more access to oxygen. The weed plants can breath easier, and...

I cannot stress enough that during the FLOWERING PHASE, the dark period should not be violated by normal light. It delays flower development due to hormones in the weed plant that react to light. If you must work on the weed plants during this time, allow only as much light as a VERY pale moon...

VEGETATIVE GROWTH Once sprouted, the weed plant starts vegetative growth. This means the Afghan plant will be photosynthesizing as much as possible to grow tall and start many grow tips at each pair of leaves. A grow tip is the part that can be cloned or propagated asexually. They are located...

SEA OF GREEN Sea of Green (SOG) is the theory of harvesting lots of small weed plants, matured early to get the fastest production of buds available. Instead of growing a few Afghan plants for a longer period of time, in the same space many smaller weed are grown that mature faster and in less...
