I'm with the 10,000 hr theory. But, what about the variable of who's teaching us? Take weed growing. 5 years learning from a highly tallented grower with teaching skills vs. 5 years reading High Times articles. The quality of our information sources is too important to ignore. I would rather...

Hey gang. My wife just pulled this off the NORML site: Sacramento, CA: California Attorney General Kamala Harris is requesting lawmakers to "clarify" the state's guidelines regarding the production and distribution of marijuana for medical purposes. In a December 21, 2011 letter from Harris to...

You've all heard my rants about the shitty clones dispensaries sell. I can say that friends have gone to Progressive and scored some good gear. Are they mite filled? Yes. Are they all in poor health? Yes. BUT...they do have some good genetics over there. Mind you, not GREAT genetics...but way...

Welcome to Cali. Victorville is a horrible example of Southern California. Come out to the coast when you can. We're an hr North of Los Angeles.

Here's some interesting reading on this topic: http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/02/09/state-sovereignty-movement-quietly-growing/ States are becoming more and more hesitant to just follow the Fed's marching orders. The real problem most states have are "unfunded mandates". The feds makes a...

I think NORML has a list of attorneys. Mine was referred to me by Commercial J.

4" blocks touching eachother on an ebb and flow table with a 1" flood every 4 hrs.

I've often wondered why the outdoor capitol hasn't shifted south. I used to grow in La Crescenta...near Pasadena. The climate is PERFECT every year. You just need to water alot. Oh well...I hope everyone gets through the year with their ass intact.

Cloneville? Cloneville is a joke. I'm not just saying it here. On my thread about 50 pages back details my experiences with cloneville. The genetics range from total shit to average. ALL of their cuts have mites...all of them. My first trip was for 12 cuts. Only 3 survived, and they gave me...

I've grown in rentals, either homes or warehouses, for the last 25 years. The key to the home grow is the ability to break it down fairly quick and easy. Once I rented 2 U-Haul trucks (one veg with 8 lanterns in it, one bloom totally dark) to store a 5k grow while the landlord did an...

That's a great way to network. But, it really comes down to quality. If you have the Real Deal, and spread it around a bit, you'll have few problems. The challange is finding the real deal. Standards are rising faster than grow ops can keep up. The prices, meanwhile, continue to fall.

If you read back 50 pages or so you'll see that we used to LST. I found it to be inferior to topping and selective pruning. I've found lst to work better on very large plants. I've also seen that anything over 4oz/plant becomes inefficient. In other words, an 8 oz plant takes up 3-4 times the...

Haven't talked gardening in a while. With plant limits the oz/plant is becoming a new form of measuring yield. While I know it's possible to pull over an Lb, I don't think it's too light efficient. I have started to see some 4oz plants in my garden. That's not bad for a plant 36" tall. The real...

Dan, sorry for the late response. I, too prefer to smoke the dry ice stuff. I find the taste more complex. We actually created a market for it with one of the delivery services we work with. By offering both dry ice and ice water hash, we are able to unload all concentrates to one source. We've...

I use a heat mat for all cuts. But, I place 2 bamboo stakes between the mat and the clone tray. This provides a 1/2" gap, which keeps the cuts slightly cooler than with the tray directly on the mat. I'd add, warmth for cuts is essential. Just a 5 degree drop in temp in my room caused my cuts...

Hmmmmm. I agree to a point. Simplicity is the order of the day for any new grower. But, quality should never be overlooked. Many people have tap water unfit to grow in...I am one of them. My TDS is 1300 right out of the faucet. As far as medium, of course, keep it simple, but make it something...

As much as I hate to end the clone bashing, anyone had root aphids? All of my commercial buddies are getting them except for me. Commercial J got them and he runs the cleanest show in town. My neighbor has them and I'm afraid to even visit him now. Commercial J was able to eradicate with Azamax...

Has anyone grown out their clones? Does anyone know anything about their genetics other than what they say. I believe ZERO of what any clone seller says. It may not be the dispensaries fault, mind you. The grower can call cuts whatever he/she wants. I have purchased and bloomed out over 100 cuts...

Dan, I, too, hope for good summer prices. Many of the bigger growers may also have stored their good till summer. Either way, it looks as if demand, once again, will be quite strong. This despite all the rumors of price crashes. I heard a rumor that Oct rains molded out the outdoor Sativas this...
