    Wow, that plant looks like shit. Can you give us some more detailed information about your operation? Specifically, what is your temp and humidity? What are you using as your water source? How about the pH of your water? What brand of nutes are you using, and at what strength and frequency...

    1st timer looking for input

    Those are some very healthy looking plants bro. Obviously, they could have used more light, but the color and condition of the leaves is just about perfect. Don't worry about the upper portion of that one plant. It's the result of a genetic abnormality and should not have any impact on the...

    should i change my lights from 12-12 to 14-10?

    No, you can't do that. Marijuana plants require 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness everyday in order to maintain the flowering cycle. If you change your light schedule to 14/10, your plants will cease flowering and revert back to the vegetative growth phase. Plus, the stress you will put them...

    greenhouse seed co. = 25% hermaphrodites

    Oh they exist. If you have good genetics and you treat your plants well, they shouldn't make an appearance very often. I haven't used Dutch Passion seeds yet, but I'm quite familiar with the Sensi Seeds line. Everything I've gotten from the Sensi Seeds Bank has been nothing short of...

    foxfarm not organic???improve taste of budd organically

    Yeah, it serves the same purpose as FloraKleen, and that is to break up and eliminate residual nutrient salts leftover in the soil from repeated feedings. I've never used FloraKleen, so I can't testify to its effectiveness, but both products make the same claims and both are made by reputable...

    greenhouse seed co. = 25% hermaphrodites

    I'm sorry, but you are wrong. Stress absolutely can cause a female plant to become a hermaphrodite. It's a fact, not something open to opinion or belief. The creation of hermaphroditic flowers in response to stress is a survival tactic for the plant. In stressful environments in nature, the...

    I do everything right, plants still dying.

    Filtered water does not need to sit out like tap water does. It already has the chlorine removed by virtue of the filtering process, so letting it sit out for 48 hours is a waste of time.

    Quick question for the pro's :)

    I'm actually thinking you are not watering them enough. Only using 1/2gal-3/4gal of water every 4 days is not sufficient for 5gal containers. You need to thoroughly saturate your soil at every watering. For a 5gal container, this means using about 2gal of water per plant. After you water...

    plz let me know if its ok

    Hell, if he stood on a chair above his plants with a Bic lighter it would probably be 500% better.

    HELP! What kind of bug is this? Pics!

    Yeah dude... Ladybugs are beneficial predators. They feed on the insects that are destructive to your plants. Many people buy them and put them in their garden just so they can keep the destructive insects in check. I don't know what was eating your plant, but I promise you it wasn't the Ladybug.

    plz let me know if its ok

    You either need several CFLs, or one good HID system. Read the Lighting section of the GrowFAQ for more help with this issue. You could use a solid primer in lighting basics so that you better understand what your plants require and, subsequently, what type of lighting system you'll need to...

    plz let me know if its ok

    Yeah, that's terribly stretched. You don't have nearly enough light, nor is the light you have close enough to the plant to deliver the required intensity. If you're able to keep it alive through the entire life cycle, you probably won't yield more than 5g-6g.

    Newbie trying to go organic

    Ocean Forest is not 100% organic, nor does it claim to be. It IS 100% all-natural, meaning that there are no chemicals in it. But "organic" it is not. I love it though... you just can't find a better out-of-the-bag soil for growing ganja :-D

    greenhouse seed co. = 25% hermaphrodites

    I recently completed my second grow using Greenhouse seeds and have never had a hermie. On both occasions I successfully germinated 10 female seeds (every seed germinated) and grew all 10 out to completion with excellent results. In fact, in all my years growing Cannabis, I've only encountered...

    First timer with a few questions

    I personally believe that every new grower should first go through the process with soil before moving on to hydroponics. Soil is much easier to grow in, and is more forgiving than hydro. You can make a few mistakes with soil and have little or no problems. The same mistakes in a hydro setup...

    seeds wont germinate

    Damn bro... you gotta learn to be patient if you want to succeed in growing marijuana. Things don't happen instantly, or usually even overnight. If you just planted seeds in soil without first germinating them, it could take several days for them to sprout and break the surface of the soil...

    We need more specific information on your situation, and pictures would be very helpful. What is the temp and humidity of your grow-room? Do you have a steady supply of fresh air coming into your grow-room? Are you properly exhausting the room? What about your nutrients? What brand are you...

    Lowryder #2: Leaves curling under

    Those are definitely over-watered. The method you are using to water them is not correct. You should be saturating the soil thoroughly, to the point where excess water begins to seep from the drainage holes. Then you allow the soil to almost completely dry out before repeating. If your temp...
