I have an 8 ft. x 8 ft. flower room, with plenty of headroom. I grow in soil in 5 gal pots and have always grown a few large plants in the space I have. I generally let my plants veg until they reach a height of around 16 to 20 inches befor I put them into the flower room. I can generally get 12...

We, as a society, have have basically said the hell with freedom, give me security instead. I remember when freedom was the call in the 60s and 70s. Free speach was the mantra, now look what has happened. The same libs who once cried out for free speach are calling out to silence people they...

negative pressure is when the air going out is less than the air comming in. I had 3 exhaust fans blowing out and a small hole that allowed air in. The intake hole was to small to effectively replace the air that was drawn out. It created low air pressure. Like a vacumm cleaner. Positive air...

Just wanted to pass this along to others that use smart pots, or are considering them. I've been really happy with my smart pots and have been using them for a couple of years. However, do not place them on the ground in an area where the ground retains moisture. I found out the hard way that...

For filters I just use 1 inch thick foam. It also helps to spray the intake filter with the bug killer of your choice once in a while as I believe there is no filter made that will keep spider mites out :) Make sure that the air in and air out is balanced, as a negative air pressure can cause...

Both, it should not matter in the least, unless you bring bugs in with clones from a sloppy source.

I too was close to just giving up and saying the hell with it over those evil creatures. I cleaned and sterilized my flower and grow rooms several times between runs , and they still came back with devistating force. What I did: Temps - I installed a swamp cooler onto my flower room ( not...

Quick question: I have aquired a GSC - thin mint - clone and will be making her into a mother. My question is on Flowering time. How long in the flower room befor harvest? I heard its a 9 week strain , but I can't find any real difinitive number. Thanks in advance

There are lots of strains that the breeders claim are 60 day strains. However I have found that the real time it takes is is not always as claimed by the breeders. That said here are a few quick choices. Critical - Royal Queen seeds, 50 to 60 day strain Vanilla kush - Barneys farm - 60 to 65...

I don't suppose ya got a close neighbor that has a male plant? Happened here with my outdoor grow once where a neighbor was growing an outdoor plant for breeding purposes and it ended up polinating my plants. I wonder how far pollen can travel in the open air? If not this then you got a hidden...

Yeah, I have heard of seeds advertized as autos not being real autos. Another reason why I shy away from them. I am thinking that the only economical way to do autos is if I could produce my own seeds, but it seems that most of the top rated autos are fem only. I mean 2 or 3 oz per seed on...

I had considered doing autos as well as regulars to attain multiple harvests. I've never had experience with autos befor. I may still do that. What I have so far in my lineup: Headband - from clones I obtained locally Critical - from freebie that I got with a seed order from Royal Queen...

The first strains I ever ran where Pure Power Plant and White Widow. They are both easy to grow and fairly forgiving of mistakes. The seeds are fairly cheap. I got both from Nirvana. I pulled more off those two strains than just about anything I have run since ( beginers luck I guess ) But for...

Sounds like a root fungas. This can be checked by looking at the roots and seeing the color. White? Tan? Brown? ( Should not be brown) Overwatering can 'drown' your plant by blocking access to oxygen that it needs. Fungas kills the roots and prevents uptake of nutes. A root problem generally...

Another one that I am checking out, as it is a faster finishing strain is the Blue Widow by sea of seeds. I grew a couple of white widows a few years back and they did fine, and blueberry is a favorite of many growers around here. So I think the hybrid should do fine. They claim a 55 day finish...

Howdy good RIU growers. I am in the central Nor Cal area ( 40degN. ) and am trying to find a quality early finishing strain for my next years outdoor grow. Several strains have come too my attention that I would like a few opinions on. I would welcome any and all suggestions. My criteria is as...

I'm on the west coast, but approx the same latitude as you are. Out here if you want to grow a faster good producing strain it seems that all the 'big boys' go with blue dream. It is a fairly mold resistant hardy plant that doesn't mind the hot days. I have seen them over 10 ft. tall but with...

Do Those planter boxes have adaquate drain holes in them???? First off the yellowing of the leaves shows that for some reason they are not getting sufficiant nutriants. Either they just are not there, or the plant is unable to access them for some reason. You say its been 50 days without...

forgive me if this has been asked befor, but I'm interested in finding the shortest flowering time strain that is NOT and auto. I'm trying to plan for my next years grow and I had problems this year with several of my choices for strains being much to slow in finishing out. The cold and wet hit...

Well, thats what I get for not doing my homework :( , I'm in the 530 area North of Sac. at about 3000 ft above sea level. Oh well, at least I still have my indoor plants to count on. Any other good sugestions from the pros for good strains that will finish out in a timely manner in this area?
