    purple strains for novice?

    killing fields has a purple pheno that shows up in ~70% of the feminized (less frequent from reg).

    leaves turning brown.

    rofl. anyone who says pot plants don't grow roots when the lights are on is just spouting crap they have read and have no idea if it's true or not. The reality is that marijuana is part of a category of plants that DO NOT NEED DARK! This is well documented, and isn't really something still...

    20 Hours of darkness! Did I mess up?

    If in flower, won't really make a difference. Though the above is correct, a single longer night is unlikely to be a noticeable difference. If it was in veg, it'll be slightly different (though again, nothing to fret over). 12 hours of dark will allow enough hormone to build up and trigger...

    Fox Farms - Grow Big / Tiger Bloom / Big Bloom - What else?

    other than carb loading, which has to be done properly to work, nutes are not a good plan to increase yield. The amount of nutes you need is going to be determined by the size of the plant and how fast it is growing. The speed it grows at depends on the amount of sugar production. As the...

    confused....

    the FF site has great info on their lines (http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/products_liqfert1.html). Tiger bloom is the primary NPK flowering line. Big-Bloom is a supplement with trace elements, enzymes, and microbes. Different things, and I see a lot of conflicting info go back and forth on...

    Indoor Perpetual Closets

    rofl, went to microwave a few bowls of the OC, and freaking thing caught on fire! We've microwaved a few bowls from most of our harvests so far while the rest dries and cures, and this is the first time anything like that has happened. Freaked the shit outta me, just started sparking like...

    Is This Normal For 5 Days Since Taproot (Germination)

    usually growth starts slow and ramps up as it builds more light capturing infrastructure... Looks ok to me so far...

    Question on when to cut it down!!! Pics & +rep

    Take a look at http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Growers-Insiders-Guide-Frank/dp/0929349008. In the harvesting and potency section he talks about taking samples throughout flowering and sending them to a lab. He graphs it, and a few weeks before it's ready to harvest the tested THC measured 10%...

    Indoor Perpetual Closets

    Yo arthor! So yeah, as mentioned our op is split between two units in a duplex. My partner has been lurking for a while, but looks like he finally decided to stop by and say hi :) Feel free to ask him questions, I am frequently over there looking at our beautiful girls, but he does all the...

    Thoughts on mh and hps bulbs during flower

    Why not use both? I use a MH and HPS for my flowering (link in my signature is to my grow journal), and have been extremely pleased. In the end more light is usually a good thing :)

    question about curing

    yep, my experience has been that they get tighter. They are shrinking as they lose moisture.

    What exactly happens if bud ISNT cured

    enzymes will not continue to break down without a proper cure. By the time you cure the metabolic processes are pretty much toast, so it's mostly this breaking down of enzymes from what I understand that is going on in cure.

    Question on when to cut it down!!! Pics & +rep

    Curious, could you post about your source for this study? The last study I read was not rigorous, but was published by Mel Frank and found up to 10% THC increase after 8 hours of dark. Till now this has really been the only study I have read about this topic, but if you know of one that is...

    how else can I dry besides hanging?

    screens would be the next best to hanging imo

    first grow.... day 55 is my afgan kush ready ?

    no way to tell, the pics are far too blurry, or show leaf and not much bud. Flowering times are just what the breeder experienced, don't look at them as instructions, more loose guidelines. Some of the better noob advice I have heard is when you think it's ready, give it another week :)

    dry weed

    how do you figure this? paper gets moist in humid environments, same with salt (when it rains it pours :D), crackers, bread, my ski mask after breathing through it... Just about everything I can think of that isn't waterproof/resistant seems to pickup moisture from the environment if it is...

    Help! I think the cops are watchin

    flir is illegal without a warrant, though that doesn't mean cops don't break laws :) regardless, I personally don't think you have a lot to worry about, but something to keep in mind. IR is measuring heat radiation. It really doesn't care what the heat comes from. CFL, HID, animals, people...

    HELP! multi stage scrog with carts inolved - gonna be a fun one

    a better way to look at it is that the penetration is pretty much determined by how many lumens are being put out, divided by the area which they are emitted from. For a CFL you are talking X lumens, but they are spread out over a fairly broad area (the surface area on the bulb itself). HID...
