    Cloning

    Depending on the brand you buy, it costs between $15-$30. At this point nothing will help you. You should throw it out and take a new cutting. The end of the clone, where you make the cut, is very sensitive and you have a very limited time window to seal the cut with rooting gel or powder...

    Cloning

    Hehe, you can't root a clone like that. Miracle Grow has no business being involved in rooting a new cutting. Miracle Grow is a fertilizer, not a rooting hormone. It won't help you in this situation. You gotta use a vitamin/hormone treatment like rooting gel or rooting powder. This...

    first lowryder grow a disaster

    They look burned to hell. Were you giving them fertilizer? Tip #1 - get rid of the Miracle Grow shit. It sucks. Go with the FoxFarms. Tip #2 - no nutes until the plants are at least 2 weeks old, better yet, 3 weeks old. Tip #3 - don't water them until the soil is completely dry. Tip #4 -...

    Cloning

    Yeah man, patience is so important with growing. It's sometimes hard to overcome the feeling that you need to be "doing" something all the time to make it grow. But for the most part, you really just gotta step back and let it do its thing.

    My Latest Grow

    OK everyone, here's the updated photos of my latest crop :-D So far everything is looking great. I'm really impressed with the Sweet Tooth and El Nino. They've both exhibited fantastic growth, very short spacing between nodes, and quite a lot of branching. The Big Bang is doing well also...

    400Watt HPS..1st attemp..unknown/known seeds

    They look OK, but at this point they should probably a little bigger. It looks like you've got the basics covered pretty well, but you must be careful not to go overboard with the nutrients, supplements, and watering. You should not be using any type of nutrients before the plants are at least...

    Reverse Osmosis Alternatives ... ?

    If this is your first grow and you're not using more than 10gal/week, you might just want to finish it up using the filtered water available at Home Depot. You can get 5gal jugs of RO water at the Depot for $5.99(+$4.00 bottle deposit). I tested it and it measured 16ppm with a pH of 7.1. It's...

    Cloning

    If you did everything properly and have your clone under sufficient lighting, it should take root within 5-10 days. When I take clones I keep them under florescent tubes at a distance of 2" for 14 days. That gives the new plant plenty of time to develop roots and resume growth. Then I...

    i know there are so many things to factor......+rep given

    I estimate that you'll end up with a yield of just under 2lbs. That is assuming that it's a relatively trouble-free grow with no major issues or obstacles getting in the way.

    HELP! 1st time grow! 3 week old slow growth brown tips drying bottom leaves

    Forget all that nonsense about interrupting the dark period with an hour of light. It has nothing to do with the plants being male or female. Sex is determined by genetics. Get your plants on a normal 18/6 or 24/0 schedule.

    Can someone tellme wats wrong with my plant

    If you want, you can also lightly mist the leaves with the epsom salt solution. That will help get the needed magnesium directly to the leaves.

    Unable to Flower... w/pics

    Do it again, but this time stay inside the room in the dark for at least 5-10 minutes to allow your eyes sufficient time to adjust. If after 10 minutes or so you are able to see your hand in front of your face, then you know you have a light-leak issue that needs to be addressed. Even after 20...

    Quick question for the pro's :)

    Different strains, and even different individual plants of the same strain can have very different thresholds and ranges in which they thrive. It's quite possible that the one plant you are having the issue with has a different hydration threshold than the others. You gotta remember that no...

    Distilled water and natural sunlight only!

    Well, for what it is it's looking OK... generally healthy if somewhat small. It's so small because you induced flowering from the seed by keeping it on a 12/12 light cycle. It never went through a vegetative growth phase like most normal plants do. Usually, we keep our plants in vegetative...

    Unable to Flower... w/pics

    You gotta have a light leak somewhere bro. There's just no way that they have received 4 weeks of a legit 12/12 light cycle and are not showing any signs of bud development. You should close yourself inside your grow-room and turn the lights out so you can see if ANY light is peeking through a...

    UPDATE:kmo8762's cfl PPP grow

    They look nice and healthy, and just the right size for their age... good job! I like your light setup... very clever. Keep it up and you should have a decent yield of some killer bud in the near future :-D

    Newbie trying to go organic

    I don't blame ya for not wanting to pay to ship soil. I did that once and it was a huge mistake. The shipping cost me more than the damn soil did! Fortunately, I found a great hydroponics shop about 15min from my house that carries the entire FoxFarm product line. FoxFarm does make two other...
