    Happy Thanksgiving Riu

    Actually, the turkey was pretty sparse and hard to hunt with the old school muzzle loader. Venison was most likely the center piece. Didn't mean to offend, Johnny :oops:

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    Speaking of taking cuttings, do any of you guys who have been doing this awhile noticed any sort of "evaluationary" effect? That is, you take cuttings from the best one or two plants and start a whole new crop. From the new crop you take cuttings from the best one or two plants and so on. Not...

    New Grower - Couple problems in the first few weeks

    Yes, that was the mistake I made at the beginning. Wrong light initially and then way too high. I adjusted this the second week and the two plants I planted a week later have never shown any signs of stretching. The initial plants seem to recovering and strengthening.

    New Grower - Couple problems in the first few weeks

    I wasn't sure on distance and I have been making a lot of adjustments. The problem is is that the light dimensions are smaller than the tote dimensions. If I put the light too close the plants want to grow at a 45 degree angle toward the bulb. The light is not a standard fluorescent light -...

    New Grower - Couple problems in the first few weeks

    Yes, I did at the beginning and I do now, although, now it is not blowing directly on them as much. It is a very small room and the air flow does move them around a bit. The problem was that the plants had fallen right over and were laying on the tote cover wanting to grow like a vine. The...

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    OK - One more question. It's not to sound critical in anyway, you know a hell of a lot more about than I do, but the engineer in me likes to over analyze everything. You've got your 4x4 fence post say at a 2% downgrade with 6 pot holes in it. Between each hole you have a sprayer, 5 in total...

    New Grower - Couple problems in the first few weeks

    Hey, the straw idea worked great. My little plants look like some sad children's ward at the cancer hospital. See the attached picture. I also included a picture of something I didn't expect. I added more hydroton to the pots last week to help hold the stems up. The moisture worked upward...

    Obama is the man

    Yea, and the biggest giveaway might be that I don't see any smoke.

    Obama is the man

    Which picture are we talking about? If it's the one with the cigarette I am inclined to believe it since he has admitted he does/has smoked.

    Obama is the man

    http://www.reason.com/blog/show/121159.html - "I believe each state can choose that decision [regarding medical marijuana] as they so choose," Bush told The Dallas Morning News in 1999. This wasn't the actual article I came across, but it illustrates the point. By "your side" I assume you mean...

    Anyone Flowered With A Fluorescent

    I bought a fluorescent light as part of my first grow. It's from Sunleaves and came with a 125W 6100K bulb. The flowering bulb, I believe, is 200W 3400K. The guy at the hydro store was leading me with the HPS (even though it was a little cheaper), but I was really concerned with heat. Now I...

    Michigan Proposal 1 - Legal Growers Here?

    As you may or may not know, Proposal 1 passed in Michigan by 63%. The proposal states that a patient (need doctor's prescription for a specifically listed condition) can have 12 plants and/or 2.5 ounces at any one time. Or the patient can designate a caregiver to grow for them. A caregiver...

    Obama is the man

    That sounds great. Unfortunately I came across an article the other day were Bush has said the exact same thing in 2000.

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    A couple of questions and a comment from a newbie. Sorry if it was already covered, but I read through the first ten pages and then skipped to the end. Questions: 1) You said you used 2" net pots and then mentioned transferring them from phase 1 to phase 2 to phase 3. Did you use the same 2"...

    New Grower - Couple problems in the first few weeks

    Thanks for the feedback. I probably do worry too much. I have an abandoned bathroom (its an old house - why they put a bathroom like a closet right in the room I will never know) in the room upstairs I use as an office. God - I must check in on them 12 times a day. Maybe that will wear off.

    New Grower - Couple problems in the first few weeks

    I'm a new grower about 3 weeks in and I ran into a couple of problems. I've been scanning the forums and there seems to be quite a few knowledgeable folks so I humbly ask for your insight. A little background: I started by obtaining some seeds obviously. Since this was my first grow and knew...
