In Holland, I think that you are allowed to grow 5 plants at a time for personal use and I used to dream about retiring to Amsterdam to live on a houseboat on the canals.

I am in Europe but I stopped going to Amsterdam when my son went to college and I couldn't afford it so I now grow my own. I have two friends in Florida with medical marijuana and one uses little liquid vials and the other buys the flowers, but the menu prices are almost the same as the...

I found one dispensary online that had their menu on display, and it was very different from what I am used to seeing when I have gone to coffeeshops in Amsterdam.

I have a friend in Florida who just got her marijuana card and she went to a dispensary and got some flowers to smoke. She says that it felt a little 'medicinal' and unusual and the two little plastic tubs they came in had the details on the label and they said about 22% thc but 0% cbd. I...

Nice plant. I got 10 satori seeds about 6 years ago and used five at the time and they all came up females. They were great plants with big fat colas. Now I just planted another two and they are still very vigorous and healthy and both came up females. I guess I should expect the last three...

I tried several Mandala seeds a few years ago and they were very good. The Satori strain was especially good and the seeds and plants were very vigorous. They seem to have not been open now on their website for several years but the site still exists. Is it possible to buy some fresh Satori...

I was reading about how double ended hid lighting setups can produce a lot more light for the money, but they seem to require a whole new ballast system and the reflector hoods don't seem to have a way of attaching to an air cooling setup. Is anyone using these types of light, and can they be...

Thanks. That sounds like a good idea about separating the controls. What I'm not sure of is how much light to surround a plant with, say in a 1x1M tent. Outdoors, I checked the light hitting a plant I did outside, and the meter read about 110k lumens hitting every bud site from top to bottom on...

I saw this online for growing plants. You could arrange 4 of them into a cage to surround the plant. It does cost about £700 each but maybe that's because they are very powerful and lesser arrays could be used if they are surrounding the plant rather than just placed above. Or maybe the strips...

Couldn't they be arranged in strips? And couldn't several strips be used in a cage around the plant? Why group them all in one box that hangs from above like a regular light? That limits the light to the lower buds and side branches.

I was wondering if a bunch of led strips set in an open cage type frame that surrounded the plant on the top and three sides would make a good distribution to ensure that all buds got light rather than just from above. The frame would fit into the size tent being used and be about 1M tall to...

you should start trying to catch your rainwater in a barrel.

Thanks. In the end, I left them alone and just brushed off the few tiny bugs under the leaves when I could see them. They have come out great and are on their last week. I really love how the sun reaches into all parts of the plant during the day. I did keep them in a greenhouse at night to...

I am growing two plants outside and they are going great and the colas are getting fat, so I have been wondering how to avoid rot/mold in late flower outside when the humidity is 60-75%. When growing in a tent, I can turn on a dehumidifier in late flower to get the humidity down to 30-40%. I...

I noticed something beautiful about an outdoor grow. I left the plants do their thing and they have developed a huge main cola but all of the secondary branches have arched away from the main stem and then up to catch the light better and avoid any shade from the other branches. It sort of looks...

I decided to keep them both and they are growing very well in the sun. I bring them into the greenhouse at night to keep them warmer and away from all the night pests in the garden. Their leaves are in great shape and are in about the second week of flowering now and all the bud sites are...

I know it's odd, but since growers spend a lot of time in the garden, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good miniature camera setup that I could place inside a nest box and get video of the birds nesting and raising chicks? I read about wired and wireless options and different ways to...

Thanks everyone. I also love the smell of manure. It reminds me of my childhood.

I bought a bag of composted stable manure that I was going to spread around outside where I have some plants growing, hoping that the smell of manure would mask anything else that might be floating around, but the composted manure has no smell and looks pretty much like soil. My question is...

Male plants don't produce seeds. If you are growing outdoors, you will have great light, but you have to consider the temps and day length at your latitude during the growing period to see if it's viable to grow outside starting in June. Indoors, you need to give them enough light and control...
