    I have 5 plants that are 40 days old and it will be 6 weeks on Saturday. My question is how will the plants flowering process be triggered if it's already on a 12-12 outdoor light schedule? Will it start flowering as soon as it can? Here are some pics

    Keeping a good strain as a 'houseplant'

    I like to do 1/3 potting soil, 1/3 compost, 1/3 soil from an existing garden, pot, etc. Don't need to buy anything fancy, the potting soil and compost we're like $2 a bag for 1 cubic ft i think. That's what I'm using in my outdoor grow, almost 6 wks veg, haven't given them anything but water...

    Feeeding your plants fruit juice to enhance taste?

    If you use any welch's juice with your waterings during flowering, such as Grape juice, it will turn the buds an intense purple with a grape flavor. Seen it, grown it, smoked it. It works.

    San Diego Growing

    I live in SD county and it's been getting pretty cold sometimes with some light rain lately. I have 5 six week olds, a 3 week, and 5 2 week from seeds going right now. But during the winter I'd try to keep it indoors. The sun doesn't poke out until around 10 a.m since it's pretty overcast in the...

    Here's my journal so you can see some pics, haven't updated lately but they haven't progressed much. http://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/459314-my-first-ever-grow.html I've also been thinking about topping or an LST method. I don't feel like doing this topping method I saw because you wait...

    Hey just reading through your journal right now, about half-way through. I just started my grow almost 3 weeks ago (Since they sprouted in the dirt) it's an outside organic grow in SoCal and was wondering what you think I should do from here based on your experience. (I do plan on reading the...

    Just wondering what LST method you used and if you'd mind where you learned it from? I saw one method yesterday where I wait until 5 nodes then I top above the second node to create 4 colas, it looks easy but you lose a lot of growth time by doing it.

    The color of my dreams

    Here's the deal, you need to use Welch's Grape Juice when doing this if you want to do it right. Adds a crazy amount of purple, look at my profile picture. That's Grape Ape with the Welch's, still some green when first harvested but the longer it sits after harvest the more intense the purple...

    First Outdoor Grow Questions

    Sourpatch is right, a colder climate will increase the purple on buds. People who grow indoor with controlled climates will drop the temp a few degrees to get more purple. But what you can also do, since you are doing outdoors like me, is mix some welchs grape juice with the water when you water...

    My First Ever Grow

    That could definitely be why I'm not under or over-watering them, since I do numerous small waterings. Because no the water doesn't drip out. So would that be what you recommend, once a day, giving them an amount of water so it starts dripping out the bottom? They probably don't have a very...

    My First Ever Grow

    Update 8/27/11 12:06 p.m. So the Grape Ape seedling made it through the night. Gave them all water when I woke up this morning, probably going to cut down on the watering after some discussions on threads. They all seem to be pretty healthy, but I think I going to water in the mornings and...

    My First Ever Grow

    Ya just from what I saw today on some threads, maybe worm castings, bat guano, and seaweed extract. Gonna search on some more stuff tomorrow and then probably hit the garden store check out what they have. And I'm guessing I should probably start giving them food once those 2 original leaves...

    First Grow:- Skylight start / Outdoor finish

    Oh wow I've been watering a lot more than that. When they we're in the smaller cups, I watered when the soil got dry on top. But the water evaporated/was used by the plant very quickly in those smaller cups. But now that I put them in bigger pots with some of that natural soil, it seems to...

    My First Ever Grow

    Not exactly sure what I should be adding during flowering, lol, are you talking about nutes or something else? I really need to learn some more. BTW thanks for the organics link, definitely should provide me with some information that pertains to my plants.
