    Growing book?

    Mel Franks - Marijuana growers handbook .... not much of a handbook, more like a complete reference. Its an old print now so more modern hydroponics (although hydroponics is covered), airoponics and led growing is missing. But it covers every other subject comprehensively and it has a range of...

    Really Need Help About, 12/12 Since seed, Soil, and Fertilizer.

    With regards to 12/12 from seed i would have thought it will initiate flowering in an AK strain therefore vegetive growth will come to a halt gradually over a couple of weeks while it prepares to flower. Id say your better off doing 18/6 if not a full 24 under a metal halide, until your plant...

    Not that i'm doing it, i grow a bit for just me and cos i've got better things to do with my time than spend the next 10 years in jail .... if you ran one thing along side the other and the police did investigate (and they look at everything before they do kick your door in) how sound would it...

    Getting busted myth ? ... The electric bill !!

    Im a newbie so if im way off the mark here forgive me, but i can only assume people getting busted by the power company bill in first instance is extremely unlikely the same with heat radar by police ... i can only think there has to be an initial report or complaint before this is investigated...

    germination problem !

    ok yes .. My bad ... 1. I didn't knead or filter the medium so it was quite clumpy with hard bits also when i watered it made this situation worse, the first 1/4 of soil was fine but underneath it was like thick black tar. Obviously the lights dried the topsoil out. Ive done a rescue operation...
