    Warning: May trigger PTSD in '70s survivors

    Been to many of these concerts. Best was my first.....Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon tour 1973....worst was a few years back Van Halen (Roth couldn't remember the lyrics, sound was so loud and distorted couldn't tell the drums from the guitar.)

    What is your favorite strain at the moment (growing & smoking)?

    I've had a cut of the "clone only" Blue Dream that is both a favorite to grow and smoke. Robust plant with big dense buds, finishes in 8-9 weeks, great smell and taste, and amazing bag appeal. The buzz is what I consider the perfect high. The only downside is that one builds a tolerance to it...

    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    Here's another picture from my last grow room. If you're interested at all of how I grow, my signature "my grow journal" gives the specifics.

    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    I got started using bloom booster 10-30-20 by mistake. I was a newbie and someone told me to get some Jacks. I used it from beginning to end and was blown away at how much better it worked than the General Organic's "Go Box" I started with. I didn't even know there were different NPK's back...

    HPS lights

    I run both magnetics and digital. I've been running one of the mag ballast for over seven years and it keeps on chuggin'. It may be because I have more digital ballast than mags, but I've had more failures with the digital's. The only beef I have with magnetic ballast is they don't mount on...

    HPS lights

    Getting a quality bulb is probably the most important decision you can make with HPS. Going with cheap bulbs will end up being an expensive choice as they rarely are still viable after one or two runs. All of a sudden plants seem to stop growing....I had plants that were "on hold" for two weeks...

    Stay warm neighbor! Spring isn't that far off.

    How much for a pound near you?

    Upstate NY......We're being inundated with West coast weed in the black market. $500 - $1,000 lbs if you know the right people. It's nuts. I get $500-$600 a quarter lb. $200 a zip. Top shelf stuff.

    Best HPS BULBS on the market?

    Some bulb salesman must love you. If you're not pulling our leg, I hope you saved all those "used" bulbs because you probably have a life-time of bulbs at hand.

    Best HPS BULBS on the market?

    You can go a year with a bulb, but it's my experience that after six months I could tell my bulbs were getting tired as my yields slowly decreased until a new bulb was put in. So I go with either Horti's when I can get them at a sane price, or Ushio's when I can't....and swap out every six months.

    Best HPS BULBS on the market?

    Ushio rates about as well as the Horti's in my opinion.

    Let's talk strains and seedbanks!

    I won't get into specifics, but Sensible Seeds has a work around for credit cards. It seemed sketchy at first, but after three successful orders, I feel comfortable recommending them. Their prices are inline with other banks, and I've had 100% of 'em pop. They have had everything I've looked...

    THE SHIT LIST ......

    Good thread. I'm glad I read through it, as I had Tangerine Dream on my wish list. Thanks for the heads-up. Long ago when I first started growing I grew G13's Pineapple Express....and did so for about a year. Beautiful plant, amazing buds, and at the time I didn't know how so-so the weed...

    Why is it so small? Can I blossom?

    I can't speak for what you have there, but the only time I've had plants stall were in flower and it was because my bulbs needed replacing. Nothing, at least in my opinion, beat's T5 HO's for veg. Been growing for almost 7 years and T5's never let me down.

    Pyramid Seeds Tutankhamon Feminized

    I always called it King Tut....couldn't spell it any other way. Grew it out for over a year. One of my top 10 strains....maybe top 5.

    What’s happening to my plant!?

    That looks like a pure sativa.....pretty much count in 16 weeks from flip.

    THE SHIT LIST ......

    Blue Dream has been my and my customer's favorite. I think there's been a lot of BD posers out there. My cut came about 7 years ago. Matero Blue......big yielder.......so-so weed. C99 was disappointing. I didn't like growing Headband. For me, pure sats are over-rated.....16 weeks, so-so...

    Growing Freebies. Anyone grow any of these?

    I always called it "King Tut" as I could never remember how to spell it correctly.......Good choice.....I too grew it for over a year.

    Floralicious Plus And Liquid Karma

    I'm an odd bird as I use Happy Frog and Jack's Bloom Booster (10-30-20) from beginning to finish. I've been doing this for six years and have healthy plants from beginning to end. Here's a video of my grow from several years ago growing as I described above...

    Jack's Classic /JR PETERS (Don't waste money on anything else)

    I'm not going to read this entire thread.....but I'm a Jack's guy all the way. About 5 years ago I thought I was ordering Jack's general feed (20-20-20) but instead ordered their bloom booster (10-30-20). Out of necessity I started running the bloom booster from beginning to end and with Happy...
