    Statement from Howard Markconfirming Neville Schoenmaker's exit from Mr Nice

    Don't get me started bro (laughing). I am like an old fat woman when it comes to collecting gossip about the seed trade. I have about 30 years of firsthand and secondhand knowledge of "the real deal" of what strains came from who and it differs from some popular claims (i.e. lies) and...

    SSSC Sativa Genetics to SnowHigh Seeds

    Hoped the board might tolerate another personal announcement about some old rare SSSC genetics potentially being reborn. Happy to now say that SnowHigh Seeds has taken on the second phase of trying to breathe life into old genetics. Their owner (commonly known online as Snow) has received a...

    Statement from Howard Markconfirming Neville Schoenmaker's exit from Mr Nice

    Let's just say that each of them has their own rabid fan clubs - with matching hate clubs - and I do not want to light the fuse on that matter here by blowing laughing raspberries at the original topic. Most of the folks on this board are unaware of the history and drama surrounding the...

    Flush confusion

    Just looked that up a couple of weeks ago when I was using Sledgehammer. I've used it in soil grows for a couple of crops and like it. Sledgehammer is just a wetting agent, not a cleaner. Its based a a yucca plant derivative called saponin which is like a bubble agent. Makes foam/bubbles and...

    Few Questions on Ordering and Seed Types (I know another question :p)

    I just finished G13 Purple Haze and Dutch Passion Twilight, both supposed to be big on the purple & both available from Attitude. Neither was purple for me, but both are powerful. Twilight produced the best and has a real flavor, kept a couple of them as clone mothers.

    inputs on growing.

    The yield might be 1/2 ounce to 4 ounces, mostly depending on how long you let them grow before flowering. There is no specific answer to that question. Unless you have a separate grow room for vegetative area it is all in one way or another.

    I'm 61

    Somehow you seem to have missed that this board is not a beginning writing or 'vanity press' forum. This forum is for discussing marijuana. Stop trying to convince everyone to be as impressed with you as you are. We are not impressed nor should you be.

    Super Cropping During Flowering?

    Gently train them over with string or wire, a little more each day. Gentle is better than radical.

    dont mention LED's

    I know its mostly subjective, but I have seen a definite improvement in volume from replacing 1+ yr old HPS lamps. I use an ancient scientific method to know when to change lamps: when it just doesn't look as bright as it used to. But I do wish they had hour meters on ballasts, like any...

    can i switch my flowering times?

    I have done it and been ok. Just critical that you shift them with an extra dark period - not a long light cycle. In flower they will tolerate 24 hrs of dark much easier than 24 hrs of light!

    Grow Light Options Discussion

    I think that plasma looks best on paper, think it could/will beat LEDs once they get the production costs down. For a new grower on a budget - without knowing the space - I'd recommend a 1000w digital dimmable ballast, a glass-covered vented hood, and an MH and HPS bulb. For experienced or...

    green seeds, Nivarna

    I'd go ahead and try them. What the heck - if you had 2 grow you have a 50/50 chance of a sweet female to tide you through until you get some proper seed. Maybe you've exhausted your limit of bad luck and you'll have 2 monster females to offset your frustration! Good luck to you regardless...

    Sativa Harvest/Ripeness

    Better way to check for light leaks is to go into the tent/room/closet when the lights are out. Close your eyes and count to 100, then open and stay there a few minutes more. If your eyes can catch -any- light then you have a leak. I am not so scientific about harvest time. I do it by...

    RIP Russell Means

    Russell was one of the founders of the American Indian Movement (AIM), which was pretty radically in the 1960's-1970's until federal marshals ended up kind of like Custer, but at Wounded Knee in 1973. Russell was Oglala Sioux. He did a some movie work (Last of the Mohicans, Natural Born...

    What is the lowest night temperature in your flower room?

    The flower room runs at 78-80 during light, 65-70 during dark. Was playing with the idea that colder nights would help complete some strains that just don't want to finish.

    green seeds, Nivarna

    Little confused over whether both orders were with one seed company or if you reordered from Nirvana directly... You said 'Dutch Seed company' and DDS - are they the same place? Almost all my own orders coming in from overseas seem to get stuck for 2-3 weeks at the NJ processing facility...

    anybody heard of gage green genetics?

    Yup. Like everybody else I'd endorse CGG. Good genetics, good reputation, active breeders. Best bought through Cannazon where CGG maintains a support group.
