Hello new illinois friends I just accepted a job in a northwestern suburb of chicago. I am coming from detroit, where possession of an oz or less is just a ticket with no criminal charge for anyone 21 or older, and we have dispenseries scattered around the state. Pot is generally taken lightly...

i like the jungle room in Birmingham, the selection is huge and there is usually a Ferrari parked nearby to oogle.

i have used 3 or 4 of the free ones, i cant remember any names... but i do remember that none of them were good enough to continue using or to even consider trying one of the grow apps that cost money. I always come back to a hand written calender,that works best for me. I like the ones that...

Human body healthy or plant health? I'm not doing either but would like to hear more. How does neem grow? I like to garden :-)

i agree with the invasion of privacy, but the unfortunate truth is this conversation is pointless until the feds at the very least pull mary jane back to a schedule 2 drug. Even if you take the possible negative effects of being high completely out of the equation, if you test positive for...

first off foul language does nothing to further the conversation. im refering to ballasts here, not bulbs. I run four 600 watt lights, two are mag and 2 are digital. the mags ballasts get pretty warm to the touch. the digitals ballasts also get warm, but not as much. this is due largely to the...

the reason behind using weaker soil for young/small plants is that young/small plants are easier to burn. if the soil is healthy the roots will develope quickly as long as the plant isnt getting burned.

the heat difference is less than you think. digital ballasts have cooling fans, so they are far cooler to the touch.

I have owned both mags and digies. I notice zero difference in daily operation. I had a digital ballast burn out after a year, never had a failure with a mag ballast. suposedly digis are 15-20% more efficient on eletricity, but seeing as they cost twice as much or more than mag ballasts you have...

6 inch for a 600. I dont think they make ducting smaller then 4 inches...

regular flex ducting works great. for a 4x4 or 5x5 tent I use 6 inch duct for the light and 4 inch duct for the carbon filter. if you need to make any sharp bends, like 90 degrees, use hard pipe elbows.

I think that is pretty reasonable. it might take a litte more than 4 weeks for that first batch of cuttings but 10 cuts per month after that will be easy. if you have not cloned before, I would recommend taking twice as many cuts as you need till you get things dialed in. after you get your shit...

I buy myself bulbs for christmas every year. I see very little variation in yield from crop to crop so I think once a years is good.

if you take a 3 or 4 inch cutting from a plant, you can make that a clone. so how big the mother needs to be all depends on how many clones you want to take. some strains root faster than others, but in my experience rooting speed is not related to indica/sativa. that being said sativas are...

if your starting with expensive organic soil you might as well feed organic as well. if you wanna use chemical nutes then something like promix is cheaper. that being said im an organic guy and I use roots original as a base mix. I have used several different soils and like roots best.
