    Need Advice On a Good Outdoor Strain 1st Grow

    The most forgiving strain I've grown is blue dream. Its mold resistant as well and very sturdy. A good choice for a beginer. Power Plant from Nirvana was also one that I grew for several seasons. Not as mold resistant as the blue dream, but an easy grow with very good yields. It was my first...

    What size smart pot?

    The bigger the pot, the bigger the yield. A plant will only grow as big as its roots can handle. I personally use 50 gal pots, but many have moved up to 100 gal, which I trhink is a bit overkill personally. On my 50 gal pots last year I got aproxamately a pound to a pound and a half off of each...

    Call yourself out..What was your biggest mistake??

    My biggest mistake, and I'm still doing it, is trying to grow too many different strains for the limited area that I have, Instead of dialing in just a couple of good strains. I read a strain review and go " gee I want that strain, its the latest and greatest" And then I order the seeds, or...

    to late to transplant?

    I have several White Rhino and a couple of thc bomb in my flower room. I currently have them in 2 gal pots and they are all from 16 to 20 inches tall. They have been in flower for around 3 weeks and are just starting to create buds. My question is this: I fear that I may have used too small of...

    Leaf Spot Fungas, what to do?

    Update: It definately was a fungal attack, have no idea what kind but it responded to the copper based anti fungas stuff that I used. I saturated my plants multiple times, aprox a week apart, and that seemed to do the trick. I still see signs on several leaves, but I figure if I keep treating...

    Open Source Greenhouse Project

    I really like the idea of shower door blanks, dang I wish I could get a truck full. They would distort the view from outside enough so your plants would not be as redilly identified and would last forever. The only problem I see with it is Zoning regs. It might be considered a permanent...

    Open Source Greenhouse Project

    Excellent idea for a thread though. I hope to see more of what people have done for hoop houses/greenhouses on their own. Around here about the cheapest I can get a 'ready made' greenhouse that would do the job for me ( 10x20 ) is around 6000.00, way more than I can afford. I'm going to check...

    Open Source Greenhouse Project

    I was looking at your original post and was struck by the similarity to what I built last year. It too was ruined by high winds and rain. What went wrong: 1: I used the thinner walled 3/4 inch pvc instead of the sc 40, I was being cheap. Might even have been better to use 1 inch pvc. 2: I...

    '11's Waste of Time Grows

    Blackberry Kush ( from clones ) was my biggest flop last year. Planted outdoors, in a very good spot. The branches where so flimsy that just brushing up against them would break them. I spent so much time splinting broken limbs and staking and tying, just to have them pumelled by the weather. I...

    Plants Won't Go Back Into Veg

    You didn't say how much time has passed. It takes quite some time for a plant to switch from flower to veg. I've had some that take as much as a couple of months to show any real progress. It seems like they just sit there doing nothing for weeks on end when in actuality they are reverting back...

    Soil Plans For Next Season:

    So I found a dairy that will fill my pickup truck ( about a yard and a half ) with cow poop for 35.00. I also bought a yard of coir at the local worm farm, plus 6 large bags of pearlite. This, mixed into the existing soil ( 20% worm castings from last year ) will make up my basic mix. I am...

    Many problems , First time,Plz help

    they look fine to me, just be patient. Waiting is the hardest thing to do. At this point in their lives they are establishing a healthy root system, when the roots are firmly established, then you will see upward growth. That is one of the reasons I use several different pot sizes throughout...

    Soil Plans For Next Season:

    Yes, I noticed that. So that much of a percentage. I'll have to do the math and figure what Will need then. What is the advantage of Peat over coir instead?

    Soil Plans For Next Season:

    So you figure that the stuff I have is too dense? About what percent peat moss would you be thinking? This is fairly low budget, I have the 20/80 mix already and the cow manure I have already, as well as the other additives that I mentioned. I will be growing 12 of the plants in the grownd, and...
