    Bought uncured weed?

    Any chance you have bought weed that has had the trichomes removed, could explain why it doesn't get you high. Drying/curing it shouldn't make it get you higher, just makes the smoke much nicer.

    Help student by taking a short survey about grow tents...please

    Unfortunately I'm too paranoid to follow a link that could record my IP address - at least RIU claims it doesn't keep IP logs.

    is this a normal female plant?

    A 2 week old seed is much more developed. They are just unfertilised "seeds" that you will find in every flower, they dry up to be insignificant specks buried within the frosty calyx. Those flowers that you photographed are just the plants pre-flowers, their stigmas (hairs) will brown off and...

    Led Users Unite!

    I'm just sick of the bitchin over "my panel is better than your panel" bullshit - Kessil lights are not panels of generic (or CREE automotive) LEDs, they are the only light that is designed and manufactured specifically for horticulture. They may use a LED array but when people talk about LEDs...

    Customs found my seeds but sent me them anyways

    I know a Customs officer (in Australia) and she said if they find a package with seeds they just pop it in a microwave for 30 seconds, then let the package go on its way - could explain some poor germination rates.

    Led Users Unite!

    I always thought that the thread title was a joke - LED users UNITE - never going to happen, everyone wants to say theirs is the best as no one wants to admit to buying something that isn't the best. I don't use LEDs - I use Kessil lights.

    First Grow

    I'd try to open up the unit and rewire to bypass the timer, then use a stand-alone timer.

    First Grow

    Start the 12/12 at a time that suits yourself - having th elights on at a time when you would be wanting to play with your girlz is always a good idea. My lights come on at mid-day and go off at midnight - that way, I can play with the plants in the afternoon or evening.

    First Grow

    hmmm, maybe you should tell the person who told you to cut the tips off the leaves to be a bit clearer with their advice. If you remove the "growing tip" ... that is the top of the plant, or the ends of branches, your plant will become bushier. Cutting each leaf tip just ends up with a weird...

    First Grow

    It should flower when you switch to 12/12 - whenever you want. ... and why are you chopping the tips off the leaves?

    PLease Stop the Pop-ups

    When browsing the forums today every page brought up 2 pop-up ad pages. If this is RIU's way of trying to generate income then it is about to fail as users start to leave RIU. when I posted this post, I again got the 2 pop-ups. Time to log-off for a few days I think.

    Just Thought I'd Throw Up Some Pics of Where I'm at Right Now

    Yup, Barney's Farm. I seem to be developing a liking for BF, I haven't had any issues with germination and both the my Red Dragon and L.S.D. have had great growth. I can definitely recommend the Red Dragon smoke - a nice long-lasting uplifting smoke.

    Ramblings of a Grumpy Old Dreamer

    You won't learn a lot about L.E.D.s with this thread, I use Kessil H150 lights which are nothing like normal L.E.D. panels. The thread "LED Users Unite" is full of conflicting information and the title is a joke as most L.E.D. users are convinced that their light is the best and greatest. I...

    Ramblings of a Grumpy Old Dreamer

    The latest attempt at grafting is still looking good, but unlike the last attempt - I am leaving this one alone till I'm sure that the graft has taken (or not). It's an ongoing experiment and so far I have learnt that patience is needed :-) And thanks for the heads-up about the roots with...

    Just Thought I'd Throw Up Some Pics of Where I'm at Right Now

    I've only done it the once and pollinated for a couple of days and ended up with 13 or 14 seeds. In a couple of months I will plant four of them and see what grows - I'm getting to know the smoke so I can compare my seeds with the bought seeds. There's no reason to expect hermies and def not...

    Is my plant being Macho?

    Just get rid of the males.

    help hermi's in last week of flowering

    Harvest now - nothing worse than buds full of baby seeds. If you waited for the seeds to mature the buds would be 4 or 5 weeks past maturity.

    Is my plant being Macho?

    "balls" are usually male flowers ... not seeds. Best to get rid of any ball bearing plants unless you actually do want seeds.
