I was stopped a few weeks ago and I was stoned, putting it mildly. I'm not going to say how much I had in the trunk. The cop asked a few questions, seemingly in hopes of smelling my breath, checked my license and wished me a good night. Truth be told, there's rarely a time when I'm not high. I...

I don't touch my timers at all. I just begin working an hour earlier. YMMV Simon

Fair enough. Here's all you need to grow MJ indoors: An light-tight space, lights, fans (and airflow), medium and a complete fertilizer. You also have to control your environment. This can be as simple as opening and closing a window. That's it. The rest is personal expertise. Book learning'...

The less leaf in the flowers, the quicker the illusion of a cure. Simon

Congrats on the grow. What happened to all the fan leaves? There aren't any. ;) Simon

I appreciate the post. Where as some forums simply plagiarized the tutorial without crediting anyone for the work, RIU did not follow that path. Simon

I use a light meter. The numbers, themselves, aren't that relevant. What matters, however, are the relative readings. Meaning, one number compared to another. Good luck. Simon

I vividly remember sitting in my basement with a pot and a drill. There was no Youtube, then. I'd seen diagrams and written directions for LST, all advising to drill holes in pots and run stings/hooks/bent coat hangers/etc though the holes to hold down the branches, and I was about to do the...

Just about 2 weeks from sprouting. You can see how the plants have almost quadrupled in size. They'll be transplanted in a day or two, so next time you'll see them the plants will sit in 2gal (10") pots. Flowering is planned for 4-5 weeks, depending on how the plants make me feel. Madness (the...

I have a little time today to read the forum, and this comment struck a chord. In essence, the same strain can bring in $3,000 per pound or almost $5,000 per pound. Same strain. Same time devoted to the grow. Same expense and investment, and the same risk. The difference being the (physical)...

Fair enough. We all have to do what we must. In my case, there's no reason to adjust or alter anything. The plants don't need further input; the garden runs like a machine. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. lol Simon

Please stop trying to troll me. When you can pull what I do, feel free to laugh all you want. Simon

B'cuzz Pro-Mix right into the pots; I add Perlite to BX. Jack's Classic All-Purpose in veg and JC Blossom Booster in bloom. Water straight out of the tap. That's it. Simon

Agree 100%. I'll go as far as to say that one almost has to conduct his own experiments and outline/streamline the relevant functions of his operation. I mean, anyone with a half-way comprehensive education can bluntly see that much of what's asserted in this field is outright crap. Wishful...

Hey Koijn. It's afraid it's nothing terribly exciting: A While Widow (Dinafem), a Madness (World of Seeds), 2 Warlocks (can't remember whose ATM), and 3 Afghan Kushes (World of Seeds). One thing, though, is one never knows what he'll get, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It least it's...

You should have seen the Bette Midler avatar I had on Overgrow. ;) It's a 2'/ 4-lamp T5 fixture. Seedlings are literally the only thing I use it for, but it's fantastic in this application. I also have several 6-lamp T8 fixtures. These are solely used for seating clones: Day-1 two lamps are...

Just couldn't take it, dug around and started some free seeds. I get bored growing the same strains over and over. Gotta have something new to play with! The pics show the seeds exactly a week from sprouting. Well, six of them. The seventh popped several days later. I'm going to try and take a...

If you decide on an enhanced spectrum lamp, I'd suggest a Hilux. This being said, an industrial HPS lamp from Sylvania, Philips, or GE isn't that far behind. Hortilux's output is relatively low. The only time I use a MH is when I want to slow the growth down substantially. IMNSHE, it's a...

I use Pro-Mix exclusively. I prefer the B'cuzz brand, but any Pro-Mix will do. I add nothing to B'cuzz and usually add Perlite to BX. That's it. You can see the results link'd in my sig. There's an elegance to simplicity. Good luck. Simon

Can't say that I disagree. All discussion forums conform to a single universal truth - bad begets bad. Good begets both good and bad, but bad only begets bad. As the bulk of serious growers was driven away by the trolls, what's left? The less you know, the louder you are and the cycle continues...
