    Soil mix fertilizer question?

    Add some dolomite lime. This will counter the acidity of the organics as well as the salts from the yucky chemical ferts.

    Electric Bill

    This thread will scare the pants off ya. I wonder just how many busts are from tips from elec co. Many larger companies are in the process of upgrading to "smart meters" which document usage down to the minute. Easy to spot a high wattage device coming online and dropping out each day at the...

    Incredibly stupid move...

    Ahh, too late for pics. I've already trimmed away all the discolored and wilted leaf matter and misted the hell out of what was left in an attempt to dilute any remaining toxins. Also took clones from any shoots which looked like they may survive. She is now in intensive care, It's "God bud" so...

    Incredibly stupid move...

    :spew: What an ass I am. Noticed spider mite activity on a small plant lastnight. Didn't have any proper insecticide around. Figured I'll go to store today and pick something up. Unfortunately I couldn't leave it at that and decided to take some kind of action to knock these bastards back a...

    Harvest question........ Need help

    Do yourself a favor and wait until at least 3/4 of the pistils have died back. The time to harvest is when the plant is ripe, not before. Sure it'll get you high if you harvest tomorrow, but the plant's full potential is not reached until it has completed it's life cycle. I'd say you got a good...

    Experimenting...

    Never considered that possibility Tom. You raise a good point. Just messin' around a bit. Probably turn out to be a pointless experiment anyway. But, I wanted to try.

    Experimenting...

    Seeds are well developed. Plant has been in regenerative growth and is healthy. Still not into full veg yet as the leaves have not reached the blade count of the mother.

    Charcoal Ash

    Wood ash can be used as an alternative to lime to counter the effects of acidity due to peat, compost or chemical fertilizers. It is a fast way to adjust the PH of a given area if an acidic condition exists.

    Experimenting...

    I honestly cannot say what the purpose would be, or why this crossed my mind. I guess I thought it may be a way to accelerate a breeding program in limited space situation. Perhaps a way to arrive at the ability to inbreed a plant faster. If the plant produces viable seed and continues to veg I...

    Experimenting...

    Has anyone tried or heard of the following scenario? If so please reply with results... Take a clone from a female in vegative growth. Put into 12/12 to induce flowering. Allow to develop a dozen or so calyxes and then pollenate and put back into vegative growth. Hypotheses welcome.... :?:

    250 watt hps grow

    There is a club here all about 250 hid growers. Type "250 watt club" in search and that will lead you to thread. Some nice work being done with 250's as you will see. I am surprised at how young you are forcing flowering. Usually best to wait until plants show early signs of sex, then clone...

    Help me ID this plant...

    Note the branches growing at almost 90 degrees to the stem. Anyone familiar with what the genetics of this plant may be??

    oh no my lil outside clone might be flowering

    Fukin' sounds great. Outdoor shit is always fun. What type of weed is it? Hopefully you got a nice secure spot where they can grow undetected. Yield all depends on the strain and how well they do.

    oh no my lil outside clone might be flowering

    That's a good thing bro. The days are still short right now. Maybe trim some mini buds in a month or so and let 'er rip for the rest of the year. Come fall if you're lucky you'll get your big harvest.

    No Growth After Transplant!

    Plant is hurt, needs triage. DO NOT water until soil dries out much more. Make sure there are breather holes in the bottom or lower sides of the container. Keep it in a LOW LIGHT area of your grow room. Let the leaves go yellow and gently remove them as they die if they don't fall on their...

    Shultz: Take Root

    Nah dude, the cost would outweigh any possible benefit. Light fluffy soil is all a root needs to kick ass once it has begun reaching out. Rooting hormones are helpful in stimulating non-root type plant cells into becomming root-type cells. As well as some fungicide to keep away molds and shit...

    Buds growing on the leaves???

    Crossbreeding with another favorite strain. Possibly to increase calyx/leaf ratio in the other. Or to increase potency one way or the other. The way I see it that plant is so full of flower inducing hormones and sexed up it is in a flowering frenzy. Nymphomaniac if you will. You really never...

    Buds growing on the leaves???

    Only ever heard of this reading "Marijuana Botany" by R.C. Clarke. Page 90 has illustration, and this trait is discussed on page 88. I'd try and seed those babies if I were you. At least get some clones of that plant for future experimentation. Nice!!
