    Growing in the winter (indoors) without power.

    There are no strains of cannabis that can survive winter temperatures of 20 degrees F or lower. Remember, cannabis is a tropical plant. I wouldn't recommend growing on anyone else's property, let alone in an abandoned house. That's just asking for trouble. Also, there is no way that...

    La chocolat

    I received a LA Chocolat seed as a freebie in my last order and am in the process of growing it out now. All I can say is that it's growing well. It's an outdoor grow in the ground. I left it untopped and its about 7 ft tall. Not much for side branches. Feel free to keep this thread...

    Lollipop Yes or No???

    I would be inclined to agree with you if we were on the subject of pruning fan leaves, since they are responsible for creating energy for the plants. However, sucker branches are a different story. Those small, scraggly lower branches do nothing but rob the plant of energy that could better...

    Lollipop Yes or No???

    Flowering in my neck of the woods begins around August 7th, (Northeast US). That being said, I plan on lollypopping August 1st so that they have a chance to recover.

    Lollipop Yes or No???

    He's asking about lollypopping, not topping. About one week before flowering starts, snip any growth towards the bottom of the plant that won't get enough sunlight to produce quality buds. This includes sucker branches and the small nodes towards the bottom of the branches. Like someone...

    Killing over a plant?... You should reevaluate your life, psycho. Have fun in prison.

    HELP! Plant hoppers and possibly leaf hoppers! What do I do?

    I had a big problem with leaf hoppers during my last outdoor grow. They WILL eat holes in the leaves. I've never messed with neem oil but what has worked for me is "sevin". Keep in mind it's a chemical insecticide and I wouldn't suggest drenching your buds with it if they're far along. I...

    I put my plants out to early, now what

    Don't listen to the person who suggested that they might have been autoflower seeds... Chances are you put them out too early, which causes early flowering. They will reveg in time and start to flower again when daylight hours are reduced to 13-14 per day.

    this retarded indica..

    I mean... In theory it could come back, but it will take a lot of time and since its already flowered once you can expect a diminished yield. You may also run into hermi problems, considering all the stress the plant has been through. Just give it a lot of TLC and see what happens.

    eaten plants

    More than likely deer or rabbits are eating your plants. Where I live deer don't bother plants, but rabbits will. You did the right thing putting a barrier up, as that should prevent further damage. I hear urine and hair clippings spread around the grow will prevent deer from coming into the...

    First time grower tell me what you think

    Why did you plant them in mud? Invest in some quality potting soil with perlite. You're looking for a soft, loamy soil with good drainage. Don't overwater them. Also, when you transplant, try putting them in 1 gallon pots at least until they are ready for their hole/final pot. They...

    plz help a noob

    My plants always look a bit droopy when they get rained on. It's normal. The rain is not life threatening to the plant unless the roots are completely submerged in water and the roots are unable to get oxygen. Make sure your holes/pots have drainage and you'll be all set.

    How much sunlight for seedlings?

    It depends... We're they started indoors? If so, start them in partial sun, or even shade for the first couple of days. Gradually introduce them to sun a little at a time. If you stick fragile seedlings under direct sun they WILL fry, I've had it happen during my first grow. The process is...
