Yeah the pollen is surprisingly lightweight and fine! Very similiar to talcum powder. Accidentally exhaling in the general direction of the pollen when taking the picture (even while trying not to breathe on it), I could see some pollen particles kicking up into the air under the light. Doesn't...

They open fast... I saw one had opened, went to get the camera and stuff, and within about 10 min. the second one had dropped all that pollen on another leaf. I just gave the plant a really little bump while holding an open zip-lock underneath some of the bracts and got more pollen than I...

Another awesome suggestion since I've got the poly and stuff laying around and wouldn't have to go get lost in a hardware store... Going to be my next little project the next time I get bored. Funnily enough though, the plants flowering in my cabinet don't seem bothered by the rather large light...

Just took this picture of a couple of male flowers that literally just opened, I have a pointer going to a male flower that is just about to open within hours as well. Should give you an idea of what to be looking for I hope:

One of the flowers opened up last night on the SW male and I now have some pollen. I'll post some pictures up here later after I pollinate a few branches and get the male plant gone.

Hey I'm interested in knowing how you like using Sweet and molasses (you mentioned it on BKB's thread). Update me on that if you can remember!

You need to clear out your inbox bro.

In a few thousands years, this will be you in a news article: :weed:

You have 11 plants though right? That's going to require a crazy amount of bulbs, wires, and plugs if you go the CFL route! I don't have anything against CFLs - not bashing. But if I were you I'd be looking at getting a high wattage HPS or two or at least HO T5s.

Last time I was at the hydro store they gave me a few General Hydro and other related hydro-oriented bumper-stickers to slap on the car... And I won't even walk around with the plastic bags they use that has their store logo on it out of paranoia - I'm sure as hell not going to advertise I'm a...

I'm no expert and was hoping to be educated here a bit - I haven't even used molasses before. I'm just familiar with the theories I've happened to have read about on here like support for microbes which in turn support the plant... breaking the ionic bonds of mineral salts that have built up...

I'm going to start calling you Grow-Meister BK after seeing your last picture update by the way.

I have a bottle of Clearex and it lists glucose and sucrose as 'non-plant food ingredients'. I was just quickly looking online and from what I can gather it works to flush/clean mineral salts on the same principle as molasses (and it's mixed to be isotonic). Thought I'd mention it since you...

Yeah you could cut out a single larger hole for a net cup and do DWC in a little 3-gallon. But a 5-gallon bucket and a net pot bucket lid can be had for about the same price and doesn't require any work to modify for lazy people like myself. lol Just throwing out the idea of using those...

Here's more info on the topic along with references and links. Not my work.

A 3-gallon bucket plus a Leak-Tite lid at HD/Lowes is under $10, won't leak at all, and you can do 20+ sites easy.

I stole this randomly from the web: She's a pretty plant.

Circadian rhythms are genetic and inherited from parents. On planet earth, plants (and animals) inherit instructions on how to operate within a 24 hour long day. You can go outside of 24 hour day/night cycles a bit without issue but if you go too far (by a few hours at most usually), the plants...

If you keep your lighting at the right height, a 600w will be just as good as a 1,000w as far as photosynthesis is concerned. It's more a matter of footprint - or how big of an area needs to be effectively covered. For example, and this is all just rough figures: A 600w 18" above a plant...
