    First Grow. How are they looking?

    I think his house really did blow up. It probably caught fire, which was why he was outside able to take pics of it. Then the fire probably hit the oil tank or gas line causing the explosion. I don't think he'd lie about that if he was really just having a problem with his plants. Of course...

    single cola plants?

    You can use either method to determine when to harvest. If you go back and read my earlier post in this thread, I explain how to judge it based on the trichs and also the hairs. Both methods provide about the same accuracy.

    Cloning

    Yeah, rooting gel or powder isn't required to successfully root a cutting, but it dramatically improves the chances of success and speeds up the process.

    miracle gro sucks? lol

    The problem I had with it was twofold. The first part of the problem was with the soil composition itself. After a few waterings, the soil became compacted and tight. This led to poor drainage as the soil held too much water. The compacted soil also didn't allow for enough oxygen to...

    1st timer looking for input

    The consensus among the experts is to avoid trimming any leaves unless more than 50% of it is dead. So if it's a healthy leaf that you want to move to expose more of the undergrowth to light, you're better off gently bending and/or tying it rather than cutting it off.

    miracle gro sucks? lol

    Yes. The first time I tried to grow weed I didn't know any better and I didn't know where to even find anything else. I mixed it at half-strength and burnt the shit out of my plants. Granted, it was my first grow and I didn't really know what I was doing, but the Miracle Grow only made my...

    Red Diesel 8 weeks 4 days Flowering

    I've found that you use up the BigBloom a lot faster than GrowBig and TigerBloom. During the veg. phase, I use 1/2tsp of GrowBig and 2TBSP of BigBloom for each plant every 4-5 days. When I switch to the flowering phase, I use 2tsp of TigerBloom and 2TBSP of BigBloom for each plant every 4...

    calcium magnesium zinc vitamin pills

    When treating the soil and roots, mix 1TBSP of epsom salt into 1gal of water and flush. You can also directly treat the leaves by mixing a solution of 2tsp epsom salt into 1gal of water, and gently misting the foliage. When I face a mag deficiency, treat both the roots and the leaves. Doing...

    Survey how many people on here smoke their harvest?

    I don't think anyone on this forum is Tony Montana. The majority of growers that sell their wares are small-time, selling their excess to help recover costs and put a little extra cash in their pockets. What I have a problem with is these few people who have taken it upon themselves to be the...

    miracle gro sucks? lol

    I have seen his pics and they are awesome. That proves that he is a highly experienced and skilled grower who knows what he's doing. It certainly doesn't prove that Miracle Grow is a fantastic product. MG is sold at grocery stores and places like WalMart because is cheap, easy to use, and...

    single cola plants?

    I'm not too sure about the efficacy of THC vs. CBN in treating pain. If you search the Internet, i'm sure there's at least one study that sheds some light on that issue. I can tell you that harvesting a day before or a day after peak potency has a big effect on the quality and strength of the...

    miracle gro sucks? lol

    Yeah, that's why it's sold at so many hydroponics and garden centers, and recommended by all the experts. Get real man. It may be suitable for houseplants, and with a lot of tweaking and supplementation it could be used to grow marijuana if there's absolutely nothing else available, but why...

    Whatever man... you weren't even part of the conversation and the first thing you did was make an underhanded insult with your comment about how "if all we know is how to grow and sell weed...". There was no need for that whatsoever. I would never come out and say some nasty shit like that to...

    Whoa there buddy... I'm a retired network engineer with multiple degrees. I love growing and sharing weed with friends, but now it provides me with a hefty supplemental income as well. So don't be so quick to pass judgment and make nasty comments like "if all you know how to do is grow and...

    Its all about worms

    Dude, i'm not knocking it. And I think that using worms is a great way to supplement and treat your own soil. I just didn't think it was a good idea to put the worms directly into the containers housing your weed plants. I would think that creating a compost heap with earthworms in it would...

    Say it loud and proud gotot! Money makes the world go 'round. I didn't choose for it to be that way, that's just the way it is. These idealists who think it's somehow "wrong" to make a buck selling a product that you created really get on my nerves. Like we all live on a commune and get...

    Its all about worms

    I see what you're saying. It makes sense in theory, but not in practice. Unless you grow in the same soil over a period of a year or more, the earthworm castings that are included with the Ocean Forest are plenty sufficient for the duration of your crop. And I don't know of a single scenario...

    I agree that's a nice idea, but unfortunately the real world doesn't run on hugs and dreams. You need real money to survive, and growing weed is a great way to make that money. I love everything about weed... growin it, smokin it, sellin it. If I can make a living doing something I love then...
