Can't tell you how refreshing it is to see someone posting who's familiar with the Calvin cycle! Big props for someone who's not just sticking seeds in the ground and splashing some water on them, but is actually cultivating a finely tuned plant.

Gr865, If you're referring to the PK 13/14, yeah - that's a Canna product. Sometimes, though, people will use the abbreviation "PK" as a catch-all term for any bloom nutrient. I do it a lot, in fact. My preferred bloombooster is Mother Of All Blooms (which I refer to as MOAB), and I may have...

Breathe several breaths into each of the jars, then seal them up again. Repeat several times a day until you get the RH numbers up.

One more reason I lo-o-o-o-ve indica-dominat phenos!

Yeah, that's the way to do it. You don't know until you've gone all the way with a pheno. I'm in the middle of a pheno hunt now, and selected about a half dozen plants for clone just as I was switching to 12/12. I picked what I thought were the most promising ones at the time, and I would say...

Hey, I was at that show! I still remember the giant inflatable pig. Wish I knew where to get one of my own. Everyone's talking about the Dead... funny that I never, ever missed a Dead show, but at the same time I don't think I can really remember a single one. I'm completely at a loss to...

Depends on whether they were in veg or flower. If they're in veg, there's a good chance you'd kick them into bloom. If they were already in flower, interrupting the light cycle for 36 hours is much riskier than... well... whatever you're risking by lighting them with dim light; I still don't...

A 100 watt bulb would easily light up that size room enough to maintain the light cycle. I have shop lights with CFLs in them standing by in the grow room in case I ever need to switch to generator.

Why?

Whoa, I spoke too soon. Jackpot tonight. One plant that had 2 plugs on it is sprouting a nice little bunch of roots in 1 of the plugs, the other 2-plug plant is starting to form some roots on both plugs, and the plant with 3 plugs is starting to show roots on 2 of them. I guess I just needed to...

I was just thinking about that today while doing a little trimming. Nothing turns a pound of "A" bud into a pound of "B" bud like a bad trim. It's the only part of growing that I don't like (hate it, in fact, when they all finish within a couple of days of one another), but I love everything...

Short of a large generator or tens of thousands of dollars worth of solar panels and electrical storage, there's really not much you can do produce electricity on that scale.

Yeah, you might not be able to feasibly operate your entire HID system plus cooling and dehumidification on a generator, but in an emergency- for a day or two - you could at least run a small light 12 hours on each day to keep them on their light cycle.

That's encouraging, because it suggests it's a true sativa - such as you'd expect Acapulco Gold to be. Good luck to you, hope it grows out properly!

I've given serious thought to just heading down to Panama for a few months and hiking around in the hills, looking for secluded patches of dope in the hope of finding some original Panama Red. It'd be a long, arduous trip, but if it pays off, it'd be a major achievement. I'd isolate it, keep it...

Tell us about the compost. That's the first thing I'd be looking at. What week of flower are you in? What's the ph of your tap water? if you're in bloom, I assume you used the same water in veg, but did you notice any problems with it? I'm guessing no, because if it's bad enough to be causing...

The amount of water and nutes the plants take up at night correlates to temperature and RH levels. If it's drier and warmer, the plants will lose more moisture from their leaves through eveapotranspiration, and the act of transpiring water from the leaves will draw more water from the root zone...

Make sure that everyone you sell to is at least twice as scared of you as they are of the police. Make it clear that some day you're going to get out, and when you do their life will never be the same again. This is more effective if you make it a practice to only sell to smart people.

It wouldn't be an official coco grow if some fungus gnats didn't show up to infest it. There are two ways to handle it. One is to get a shotgun, wait for the little bastards to land on your leaves, and then blast them. Trouble is this can be hard on the plants, but the good news is, you won't...
