Need my memory refreshed. When taking new clones: Cut at third or fourth node? Cut just below node or half inch below? Does it matter if you take from the bottom, middle or top of the plant? Cut just before flowering? I have taken clones before with good results but will any of the above make a...

I have several clones I have taken into veg 15 days ago. I have just been given 3 new strains that have just rooted. I would like to veg and flower them together. Is there a way to hold off growth on the previous clones until the others catch up.? I assume I could take them out from under the...

Any suggestions on best place (price and service) online to purchase lighting to include reflector,ballast and 1000 watt bulbs? Thanks in advance!

I have several plants in flower indoors. They are cramped in my space and therefore have considered taking them outside during the day with a temp of 75 degrees. The problem is in my geographic region the temp goes down to 50 at night and the daylight is about 13 hours. Therefore I have...

I am twenty five days to harvest and plants looked great until yesterday. I went in to water only to find the tops had been eaten by some animal. I assume squirells as we have them every where. How heart breaking. I have managed to save some and have put large rat traps out to try and stop them...

How do I determine where the growth nodes are?

I had spider mites last grow which I noticed three weeks before harvest. Got really bad very quickly. I used a peppermint oil first but found it to expensive so I turned to neem oil and but sprayed off with a compressor (PSI 30) to get rid off as many as I could first. Didn't rinse and it turned...

I have two strains growing and have never had a problem with them growing larger than my space will allow. For some reason this cycle they are significantly bigger and getting to big for my grow room (new ferts maybe). They are also getting very close to my lights. I have heard you can bend them...

I am growing a couple outdoors and am using Black Gold soil in combination with some great composted soil. I need to know if the compost material needs to be treated in any way to ensure I do end up with any mite or infestation problems (hopefully)? I have also heard that some people sterilize...

About forth grow. I have used small pebbles to cover the drainage holes in the past with good results. The question is there any difference between the two methods? This assumes that there is still adequate drainage both ways. I know for sure my fert costs are far less.

Noticed this morning I have a very fine web at the base of the leaves where it meets the leave stem (not the stalk). I can not actually see any insects but appears there are some forming in the web I described. Ten days until harvest and just started final flush. Should I get something to kill...

I am not sure about that strain. However, all kinds of factors can come into play (light wattage, temp, ferts, etc.). As a rule they say 30 to 35 days although I have a Kush strain that I take out to 40 to 45 assuming it is indoors.

Don't do it. A bong hit won't hurt but smoke is not good for the plants from a biological standpoint as the post before states!

Make sure you use the rooting hormone! Careful not to over water (party cup might not allow drainage so is there a hole in the bottom). Mist them twice a day. I've had great success this way. I too had a lot of problems initially but found out I was over watering.

Looking for highest yield strains both indoor and outdoor. Needless to say also interested in quality! Any input would be appreciated.

I usually take my trichs a little farther to 50% cloudy to 50% clear. You can also look at the hairs (amber) and if they are the same ratio as stated (50/50) before that is another method of determining ripeness. The trich method is the best is my understanding. Some even go further ratio wise...

A couple of my plants are browning a bit on the edges. All plants get the same ferts, PH is fine, watering schedule consistent, large enough pots (3 gallons) and I use cleerex every three weeks to avoid fert lockup. The rest look absolutely healthy. Any ideas?

So you topped #3. I would assume it is the same age as the others. If so I would also be interested in knowing what kind of yield you get from those lower buds on the plant you topped. I too have heard not to top lowryders but several people have told me they have done it and it worked out fine...

Flush times vary depending on the individual. I flush for 10 to 14 days period. Some say you don't need to flush at all but the final product is definitely harsher and in my opinion flushing is a must!

You might need to cut back on watering and let them dry out a bit. I agree with the fact you need more light ( perhaps plants need to be closer to the light) so they don't stretch out too much.
