My hydro is more maintenance than I planned and was thinking of converting to dirt. It's not all that much maintenance, but I am schlepping water up and down stairs and doing anything in the reservoir ends up getting plants knocked over and a few other headaches. But please don't get me wrong...

Yea, I saw that as well. 1) I didn't want to mess anything up with wiring and cause a problem - I have very old wiring in the house. 2) The clamp ones were only a couple bucks more and gave me a lot more versatility. It will look ghetto, but I think I am going to skip the plug in sockets and...

What's your problem? If you don't like it, get the hell out of here!!!! Just kidding :) I am new here and new to growing and people have been pretty nice to me. Some of the slams I've seen seem to directed at people who I guess have a history of posting really dumb things. But...

I didn't know there was such a thing. I was just looking tonight for lighting stuff at Lowes and Menards and didn't see anything like that.

So, is Banger off on this? New plants won't grow from a stem? I will look into LST - just thought I saw a win-win with topping and cloning.

No? Will topping not work or planting the tops not work.

I picked up a few things tonight at my local Lowe's store. Toggle bolts and heavy duty chain to properly rig my lights. A couple of clamp on lights and new bulbs. I could only find 23W @ 6100K so I picked up a couple. They seem to have a much larger range of bulbs in the 2700K range, so I...

Well, I am going with the complete topping method. I was reading another post or two where people use the tops as clones to start new plants. As it turns out, I have three plants that are too tall that I am going to top and three available holes in my hydro system that I wish I had clones for...

Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

Yea, I was kind of wondering about that. Someone suggested sending to your Grandma's house or a friend's house. That would have to make you the shittiest grandkid or friend in the world, respectively. Would you really want your grandma's door broken down?

Not sure what you mean. All of the leaves/growth is happening at the top. I'd say 7 of the 9 inches of height is all stem. Cutting off the very top would only reduce the height by 1/4" - I need a more drastic reduction. I just was not sure if the plant could grow without any leaves. Can I...

This is my first grow and I initially got off to a bad start with lighting and have a couple of plants that really stretched. I'd like to top it to shorten the height. I've seen a few methods around here where people pluck off the top node to lose some height and make it bushier. The problem...

I left for a couple of days and noticed a little new growth. Funny, when you're checking 4 or 5 times a day you don't notice the new growth :) Jumping way ahead, I was trying to think of the ideal crop cycle from start to finish. I see some people order seeds and grow for a while and flower...

Just curious how this works. If you have no clone mothers, then you must have everyone of your strains in the cloner at any given time? I thought you said you clone 14 plants but only take 11 to be flowered. Sounds like you have 14 plants in the cloner of eight or ten strains. Is this right?

As the title implies, my grow is taking place inside of an unused bathroom. This is my first grow after 20 some odd years of smoking. Although I am doing this to log my own experience, please feel free to comment. I would like my first harvest to be knowledge - and maybe a little weed. GROW...

BTW, I apologized once. Now you're shoving it down my throat. Flame-on!

I am a man. I am an omnivore. I eat meat. That is the way it has always been. Man would not have grown a large brain and walked out of Africa had he not eaten meat. Personally, I think there is enough human suffering in the world to take one second to cry over a turkey or any other food I...

I started a similar post on that subject, but haven't gotten a lot of feedback. I am very jealous. I went with the high end CFL and spent about $140. I could have just hung 6 CFL's instead - I have a whole drawer of spare bulbs. I might be too late to the party on nutes, but I have a bottle...

That is interesting and stealthy. Doesn't seem like it will give you much room to flower, though.

I don't know this for a fact, but have heard from a couple of people that the easiest way is to walk into one the shops that sell and they will recommend a doctor's office to go to.
