Do not grow multiple plants in a single container. You will end up with problems throughout the growth cycle and a lower yield than if you used separate containers for each plant. When you put multiple plants in a single container, they are forced to comppete with each other for water and...

Yes, a RH of 20% is way too low and is not helping your plants. For the veg phase, you want to maintain a RH of 40%-60% for optimum results. How big is your grow-room? I see some people are suggesting a $13 humidifier from WalMart, which is fine for a small closet setup. But, if you are...

If you are able to adequately cool your lights, you can move them down quite close to the canopy. My plants are under two sealed, air-cooled 600w HPS systems. I am able to keep my lights 4"-5" from the tops and still maintain a canopy temp of 77°F.

Feminized seeds are identical in appearance to normal seeds. Their appearance will vary just as normal seeds do. I've had some success with the smaller white seeds, but my favorite is the nice, plump brown with black tiger-stripes. Feminized seeds are produced by treating a known female plant...

Every time I smoke AK-47 I feel like someone slapped me in the face with a cold, wet hand. Definitely a cerebral high.

It's been two days... post new pics! I need my Rasta-Fix :-D

Baking Soda will do the job nicely. For 1 gallon of solution, use 1/4tsp of Baking Soda to raise the pH by 2 points. If you need to raise it by more than 2 points you should really get some pH-Up solution because Baking Soda will also raise your EC/PPM.

Sweet Tooth is my Achilles Heel. I get weak in the knees just thinkin' about the sweet, creamy smoke it produces :-D I'm planning on flowering them for between 8-9 weeks depending on when they're actually at peak potency. My anticipated harvest date is Jan.14, but we all know that planning a...

You can use the primary nutrients(Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom) at every watering if you want but if you're gonna do that you should only use half the recommended strength. The solubles(Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching) should definitely only be given at every other watering at a...

Those yellow spots on the leaves do look like the result of a pH imbalance to me. Distilled water, especially the store bought kind, has a tendency to be on the high side, often in the range of 7.5-8.5. This is too high for your plants. For soil, you want the pH of your watering solution to...

Yeah, they OK. Move the light closer if you can because I can see they are stretching a bit. Those won't need any nutes for at least 2-3 more weeks under that lighting. I suggest you buy your nutes from a hydro shop or online. At places like Home Depot and WalMart you will only find...

They droop when they are underwatered as well, but in a different sort of way. When they are under watered, you will see the stems and stalks bending and drooping as well. It's an easy problem to avoid. Wait until your soil is almost completely dried out, not just dry on the top. Then, water...

Whatsup Rasta... how's your grow going? My babies are in the 3rd week of flowering and the buds are starting to fill out and get all sorts of frosty :-D

Yeah you really need to post pics if you want people to help you. Tap water sucks and should be avoided at all costs. If you can't get an RO filter, your next best choice would be to buy distilled water from your local grocery store. Or better yet, go to Home Depot and buy 5gal jugs of it...

Personally, I hate Miracle Grow products. But I know of several people who use it with good results. You gotta remember that the nutrients in that soil are meant for vegetative growth for a wide variety of plants. For growing marijuana, you really want nutrients that are better suited for the...

This will cause major problems with your plants. Maintaining a consistent light schedule is absolutely critical to produce the highest quantity and quality buds. Especially during the flowering cycle, an erratic light schedule will most certainly stress the shit out of the plants and will most...

Umm, you should not give your plants nutes for the first 3 weeks of their lives if you are growing in soil. The soil will provide the young plants with all the sustenance they need for the first few weeks.

Hey Bro... How ya doin? I do a full flush using Clearex and 3gal of water per plant immediately prior to the flip. That way, I'm going into the flowering cycle with a basically clean slate. You probably don't need to go that far, but I'm fanatical like that :-D You would probably be fine...

That's an awful lot of plants to be under just one single 1000w HPS. For that many plants (40+) I would want at least 3 1000w lamps. But, since that's what you've got, I would estimate 1/2g per watt to be on the conservative side. Obviously that number could be higher or lower, depending on a...

No, don't do that. You'll stress the shit out of the plants and add weeks onto your schedule. You are much better off taking a clone of each plant and sexing the clone. Then, just get rid of the corresponding male plants. That way you can determine the sex of the plants without disturbing...
