    New grower needing info on Scrog method of growing.

    -Don't worry about CO2 yet. -Humidity levels aren't that important. -DON'T BURN SULFER my gawd who told you that? -This is an over-simplication, but watts is power consumed and lumens are light emitted from the bulb. Flo's: 75 lumens per watt MH: 110 lumens per watt HPS: 125 lumens per watt

    The Perils Of Growing Part 19

    We all know (or should know) the #1 rule of growing is TELL NO ONE. I've followed this for the most part. Except for a neighbor let's call him Ed. He knew I grew indoors because I bought my first indoor set-up from him. So within 4 months I had a gang of pot, and more on the way. Ed would stop...

    what does it feel like?

    First time eh? Here's what you need to do: Disconnect all electrical appliances. Remove all pets. Turn off the gas and water to your house. Stop all mail and newspaper deliveries. Put 9-1-1 on speed dial. Have oxygen and a heart defibullater handy. Strap yourself into a sturdy chair...

    Oh no...

    I've had that several times. Great healthy looking clones, a bit of new growth--but no roots. I misted 2 x/day with CO2 water that had a bit of nutes, and watered the cubes with a light nute solution, like I always do with all my clones. The clones were obviously gettting everything it needed...

    drying on paper bags???

    Paper bag drying is superior to hang drying. For one thing, it takes up less space, and is WAY less noticeable (to the eye and lessens the smell a bit). More importantly, when you hang dry the buds get crispy-dry on the outside while there is stii moisture in the stems. Back when I used to hang...

    World Cup

    I find soccer numbingly boring. Doesn't seem to be much strategy, like U.S. football and especially baseball.

    what does it feel like?

    I'm confused--which arm do I inject it into?

    Hey.

    I'll give you this freebie but if you don't read a grow book you're not serious about growing pot, you're just some guy with a closet and a light. How often have you seen more than 1 plant--of any type--per container. The only instance I can think of is floral displays, and a few herbs. When...

    Hey.

    Ditch the current container.

    How much light during veg stage???

    They grow faster under 24/0 than 18/6 so it doesn't cost any more. I don't know about "sugar production" but I do know I've ALWAYS used an 24/0 veg cycle, and have grown some dynamite **** (3 bong hits and you forget how to talk).

    Hey.

    There are a few hard rules in mj cultivation--one plant per container is one of them. -No light is needed until the seedling breaks the surface. What you need to do amigo is to stop and read a grow book. Get some 6" planters and start over again, or try to transplant the seedlings into...

    dumb newb question but what is the black stuff left in pipes? can i smoke it?

    That black slime that gathers in the stem is certainly NOT resin. It's a by-product of the combustion process. There are small amt's of mainly various cannibanoids and maybe a bit of THC in that gross goo. In my life I've tried smoking it twice, both times I barely got high; both times I got a...

    Oh no...

    5 weeks??? Jeez give up on 'em. If they don't have roots now they never will have. It's probably the miracle gro. Throw that **** away and get some good potting soil with ORGANIC amendments (worm castings, etc.) Use a humdity dome. No nutrients for the clones until rooted.

    any1 else start flowering?!

    My true love is outdoor growing (thanks for asking btw). I've grown inside for many years, but lately I've shut down the indoor grow. Because in my legal outdoor mj garden, I can grow all I and several other med-mj users with all we need for an entire year. So there's no reason to pay for elec...

    drying on paper bags???

    Yeah you can dry bud in an oven if you don't care about weed. But the slower you dry a bud, the better it tastes, smells, burns and the higher you'll get. That's why people dry them in bags rather than an oven.

    Lumens per sq ft???

    Lumen output is usually printed right on the bulb. As a general rule, HPS emit 125 lumens per watt, flo's emit 75 lumens per watt.

    What is your scariest almost bust story?

    I've been busted 3 times in my pot growing career. Here's a close call when I didn't get popped: Late 1 night I had hauled 4 trash bagfulls of primo bud from my mountain grow up to my van. It was about 10--11 p.m. and I was expecting a non-eventful drive home. I tossed the bags in the back of...

    don't trust people...

    A textbook example why the #1 rule in growing pot is TELL NO ONE. I've been lucky. Many moons ago I surrounded myself with fellow growers. Also, in Calif. busting pot smokers/growers has been a low priority since the mid-70's, when decrim occured and made poss. of an oz or less a ticket like...

    Harvesting seeds

    The pic is blurry, but it looks like the arrows are indicating calyx's. Generally, all females grow calyx's. In an unpollinated female they are called false calyx's. And like you mentioned, unpollinated they are usually much smaller than the calyx's that contain seeds. To make sure, give one of...

    Wondering

    I only recommend misting if the plants are suffering a nutrient deficancy, as a "quick fix". If you spray during flowering you run the risk of getting bud rot.
