I think you have it *** backwards friend. The agricultural industry is the only industry that gets a pass on fair labor laws. They are not required to pay overtime for time over 8 hours/day. There is not a minimum wage requirement. This is because we are soft on employers and hard on...

"When the President took office, he directed all of his policymakers to develop policies based on science and research, not ideology or politics. So our concern about marijuana is based on what the science tells us about the drug's effects." So, they don't base their policymaking on ideology...

Back with another question. Thanks to everyone for answering my previous questions. Has been very helpful. I'm wanting to put my 12/12 cycle on electronic timers and want to make sure I get the right ones. I currently have some Brinks Timers ($6.97 at Wal Mart) and looking at the specs (15...

Well, that's my ADHD brain for you getting stuck in only one aspect of the grow. LST -- I got it! Low Stress Training. Don't even know where to begin with that but will begin brushing up. I feel like I'm leaving MJ 101 and getting into MJ 102. I'll see what I can do with the situation I...

I have a recirculating loop drip system with a rockwool buried in hydroton rocks grow medium. Each system is a three gallon net bucket housed within a five gallon bucket. Water is fed through the loop drip with the an airhose at the bottom of each five gallon bucket that pushes water up...

Well, I don't know how these ppl do it but they are the experts and I haven't survived my first grow yet so keep this in mind when I say I have an 8'x5'x8'h room and I barely have room for five plants. My setup is a recirculating drip system. To contain the water in case of spillage I house...

Thx Hushpuppy. Yes, mine is always falling (seems to be much evaporation through the leaves or something. My five plants are drinking 2.5 to 3.0g/day resulting in high ppm's and falling PH. I am using a 22g reservoir, starting with 20g and every two days add about 5.0g H2O through the 7 to 10...

Since we are talking about non MJ alternatives I will pass on to you my experiences with my brother. First most all the opiates (Loritabs, Oxycontin, Dilaudid, etc..) are addictive by nature. Another word for addictive is tolerance. Your body builds tolerance to the drug and processes it...

I would like some verification (or hell no's) from some of the more experienced here but I am working with my brother who has metastatic adenocarcinoma so management of pain has been a big factor in our lives over the last year and a half. One of the providers we had (a seemingly knowledgeable...

Another topic for the experts. Along the lines of tweaking your grows and your nute system do any of you all adjust the PH for differing periods of the grow for better absorbtion of a particular nutrient? In other words I have been religiously trying to keep my PH between 5.5 to 5.8 during...

Noted. I will look into this LST right away. I did make a mistake on the height of the groom room. It is actually 84'', not 72 but I don't think that makes a difference with what you are telling me. I'll check it out. In the meantime thanks and Happy Growing? Always.

Hey Hushpuppy: Thx a bunch. Was only in jest about the novice insult. Really, more a poke at me than you thinkinig I'm experienced with only two months under my belt -- "Hey, I want to play with the big kids already." I hear you on the addiction of growing. I don't even smoke the stuff...

I will definetly keep this idea in my notebook for later grows. What I am gathering from this and other posts is that as you cut back N in the flowering you still need to monitor and adjust. All my plants are Indica/Sativa mixes and flowering should not be longer than the eight to ten weeks...

Thx Hamster. I will follow this suggestion, giving them an N boost if it appears necessary. Was curious why you are no big fan of MH. This is my first grow but the MH's appeared to work well. I have heard that HPS are the more efficient lights. Anyhow, just curious. Maybe it just comes...

Thx. The ebb 'n' flow system for the clone transplants is a simple one -- a cat liter box sitting on a five gallon bucket with a pump and drainage adjustments to the liter box. The whole system can be moved easily and am thinking about hooking up the one dual spectrum 400 w bulb I have...

First off, thanks again for your input. I was curious about your "tweaking" of the nutes and at first a little insulted with your implication that I might be a novice -- after all I've already been at this now for two whole months. Seriously though, thanks to you all on this website, a good...

Hey All (Hamster, Hush, Grow, bban, et al) Thanks for your help all. You guys are great. In the end the plants have been under HPS for almsst two days now and the nutes have been changed to transition formula using the nute chart provided by GH three part formula. I should have read up a...

Hey all: I have a couple quick questitons regarding a transition issue. I currently have a few plants two months old and ready for flowering. I have switched my lighting (2x1000w) from MH to HPS and want to switch to 12/12 lighting schedule. I currently have a hydroponic drip system. My...

Roddy, if I were as judgemental as you or were to use anecdotal evidence to prove a point I would say that for you to spend a year in confinement for one joint and two roaches you would have had to have been doing somethings far worse than that to get such a harsh outcome given that possession...
