    Planning my first grow, thinking about the details

    I appreciate you posting that. All of my LED lights are too close based on this information. Some of them are just an inch from flowers. After I switched to LEDs I have been loosing a lot more leaves in flowering. The yields have been good and it is plenty strong but I am betting that backing...

    Planning my first grow, thinking about the details

    Can you expand on that? Do you happen to know the optimum distance? Do you know the consequence of being closer than two inches?

    Private Breeders prices?

    I would never go into business as a breeder at this particular time. As long as marijuana keeps becoming legal their profit margins will continue to fall. If it was to be completely legalized, cannabis seeds would cost no more than morning glory seeds. I don't see it being completely legalized...

    Studying While High

    First let me say that I am not a student. I am not sure I would recommend this to anyone under 25. It is often said that marijuana is harmful to the memory. It does interfere with memory while under the influence but it doesn't seem to be permanent. I find that studying while high is actually...

    Books... What are you reading? And what do you recommend?

    Extortion by by Peter Schweizer. The book explains how government really works as opposed to how people think it works. After reading this book you will easily understand why it is hard to legalize marijuana.

    David Koch is dead

    It works kind of like the mob. When one of their main guys dies there are plenty of younger ones to take his place. Come to think of it, the power structure of the world is set up about the same way as it is in the mob.

    Why Consumers Are Staying Loyal To The Illicit Cannabis Market

    Those who want it illegal like big pharma and organized crime work together. Folks who want it legal do not. Many things can be done. Referendums are good even if they are not binding. Any city council can pass a resolution to prioritize crimes in terms of importance. Referendums are hard to...

    DC Seed Exchange

    I use the DC exchange. It is my favorite. It is very difficult and time consuming to to sort out the strains. But, that is an issue with all the seedbanks. So far I have gotten Midnight Fantasy and Flamin Alien both by Cabin Fever they are both heavy indica.

    Making Soil

    I am curious if any of you folks make your own soil or refurnish soil you have already used? Normally I use a mix made by Fafard. It is about like Foxfarm but has no nutrients. I have no complaints and the cost is reasonable. I am going to start growing outside a little next year and would...

    Why Consumers Are Staying Loyal To The Illicit Cannabis Market

    Highly regulated is not exactly the same as legal. The more people who grow the better. If enough people grew it would be impossible to monitor. Most who get busted these days have it on them when they commit some other crime. In my entire life I have never bought weed.

    Outside Growing Experiment

    I am not far from the Mexican border. My grow room is full. The seed I am using are well over 5 years old. Out of 10 perhaps only 2 sprout. If nothing comes of this all that is lost is what water I use and the soil. No sympathy is needed in the event this fails miserably. I regularly start a...

    Outside Growing Experiment

    I have a spot in my back yard where no one has gone to in the 15 years I have lived there. I also have a lot of extra seeds. Just as an experiment I am starting a few seeds right now to grow outside. There is plenty of light still for vegetative as I am way south. I am guessing it will be 6...

    Help! I am watering twice a day now.

    If it was my plant. I would circle it with some mesh fencing. If there in the ground, there is no need to worry about over watering them. Personally, I use more water in flowering than most people. I don't know of a case of root rot in the flowering cycle.

    Looking For a Different Strain

    So far, I have only grown indica based strains. Is there a strain I can grow with some significant sativa characteristics that won't get over 5 ft. for an indoor grow? I have some free time and space and would like to try it. I need something that can be purchased from a U. S. dealer. It needs...

    Disappointed with Breeders.

    With the advent of more U.S. breeders, I am seeing some improvement. The biggest problem I have is sorting through countless strains I have never heard of. One thing I have noticed is that even the best seed banks and breeders are not necessarily adept at marketing and running businesses. That...

    leaves starting to burn?

    When weird stuff happens, I always check the PH of the water I am using. Anything between 6 and 7 seems to work fine. Rarely is the PH of commercial soil off but water often is. I don't use a fancy meter although I do have one. I just use regular PH strips. If the water is even the slightest bit...

    Best places to buy seeds? I live in Ohio

    I work with the DC exchange. The big problem with ordering seeds is getting what you actually order. The money is one thing but worse is that it ties up growing space for 4 month growing something that is not what you intended. I have not had that problem with the DC exchange. The problem I...

    Best CBD Oils for better quality of sleep/insomnia

    I don't smoke at all but use infused coconut oil. It surely has some CBD in it but I have no idea how much. Finding things out about cannabis is hit and miss. Getting actual facts about things is illusive and often no one knows for sure. I have used CBD oil but have never noticed any obvious...

    camouflage

    What I suggest are bamboo plants. The leaves are similar in shape. It pays to be cautious but there are virtually no cases where aircraft passing over have resulted in someone being busted for growing outside. If no one knows and nothing ever leaves your property, growing is pretty safe.
