    Bit of advice needed please...Newbie here...

    you are very welcome! Just remember to document your steps...keep a journal for your first few grows and write down everything you do, dates, times and general observations. After a couple of grows you wont even need the journal, it just becomes second nature. And I’d recommend studying on...

    If I could give you ANY advice at all, here it is: Don’t get too hung up on all the “difficulties” you read about with growing her, she’s been around longer than humans and nature finds a way....you are just the caretaker helping them complete their programming and mission.

    Bit of advice needed please...Newbie here...

    When you grow in soil, it often takes a few weeks longer for the roots to spread out, plant to get comfy. In a hydro system 4-5 weeks veg would usually put you farther ahead on growth/size than soil. i grow 100% in soil now; I grow in a 5x5 tent For indoor crops, 630w CMH in a horizontal...

    Bit of advice needed please...Newbie here...

    Honestly if they are nice and rooted in those rockwool plugs and you justgot them into soil, and your only vegging for 4 weeks, you’ll be fine for a month if using good soil like Fox Farms or similar...after 4-6 weeks your plant will use most of the nutrients out of the soil and then require...

    Does anyone know what this is!??

    Relative to my post, my friends dad brought them back to USA in late 70’s, only a few back-crossed moms available now but I have lots of her in my hybrids. As for pics, I dont post those on any forum sorry.

    Neem oil during flowering

    totally understand and agree for the most part, however, occasionally we have to take uncomfortable measures to save a crop...if you so get spider mites 5 weeks into flower tou can either kill your plant or find a product that causes the least risk and harm to those who will consume. I’ve used...

    Does anyone know what this is!??

    I grow a landrace Afghani strain obtained in the late 70’s that does that same trick....slight pink color to most new leaves that later darkens to dark bluish green. The buds are an unreal pink color as well (not hairs but actual calyx-buds). Im sure its genetic...what strain is it?

    5 out of 5 males...please confirm

    Ignore the negative feedback and get feminized seeds next time. Ive had 1-2 plants out of hundreds that hermied, all from femmed seeds...and both of those were white widow crosses (WW-thai are well known for herm tendencies due to sativa backgrounds)

    Neem oil during flowering

    i respectfully disagree with your advice, neem oil is nasty shit and will absolutely spoil the taste and smell of buds it is sprayed on. I’m not a commercial grower like you, so much respect, but neem oil is for veg only!

    Neem oil during flowering

    go buy a product called PureCrop One, it works fantastically up until the last day of flower, no residual taste or oils, i have used it successfully to knock out spider mites, PM on multiple plants, and to knock back a root aphid infestation twice during the same flowering cycle, and all three...

    Powdery Mildew

    dude I dont represent the company or know who owns it, but i am SOLD on “PURECROP One” as a product...even in last week of flower you are good with it...PM just washes right off, you can spray it every day, etc.....Amazon has it. And do the Jose Cervantez method of H2O2 bud washing when you...

    Drug test

    honestly its easier and safer to substitute clean urine than go through all that and worry anyway....best feeling ever is smoking before you go in, handing them a sample you KNOW is negative, then walking out to smoke again. But you have to study and practice a bit to substitute.

    Cmh vs LED results

    i don’t know much about side by side comparisons of LED vs CMH, but I suspect they both lose to HPS for pure penetration power through the canopy. Typically HPS = lots of thick, solid high quality buds up and down the stem, CMH= extremely high quality, thick buds on uppers with larfy bottoms...

    Cmh vs LED results

    I grow under a 630w, mixed spectrum 2-bulb CMH fixture with an additional 400w vertical HPS open bulb hanging open between the plants in a 5x5...the frost from CMH and the thickness from the HPS bare-bulb supplemental side lighting...in all honesty I’ll smoke my buds over dispensary anytime.

    Drug test

    not being an ass but you’ll have to read the instructions closely....but Almost always, if a line means “negative” then even if it is very faint, the fact that it shows up means you are negative as well...but read those instructions closely. drug tests are a fucking invasion of privacy and...

    Drug test

    dude....trust me on this advice please....goto dollar general and get 5-7 of the “THC Screening Kit” they sell for 1-2$ and test yourself. Those screening kits and their thresholds are exactly the same as the SCREENING KIT that all these damn Lab testing companies use. If you test positive on...

    Light Upgrade From King LED to....?

    i ordered my 630watt CMH fixture from Vivosun, good not great, but you can definitely run it with just one bulb and it works perfectly. I run dual spectrum throughout with one 4100K bulb and one thats 3800K....however you can get much better coverage by getting two separate 315w CMH fixtures for...

    Light Upgrade From King LED to....?

    yes i use a 630w CMH in a 5x5 as primary horizontsl light source, and during flower I supplement with a vertical 400w HPS hanging between plants in addition to the CMH, and my 8 inch inline fan keeps lights-on temp around 78 degrees consistently. Ive run a 315w CMH by itself during veg without...
