I am planning my summer grow and am preparing the ground for my girls. Obviously I want to reap the potential that they have but am a bit confused about all the different mixes that people use for their garden soil. I am starting off with a compost/worm casting mix that I pick up at the...

So what kind of soil have you been useing, or are planning to use for this grow? I'm a first time outdoor grower and plan on doing 6 different strains this year, have set up the planter boxes and am just trying to figure out what I should fill them with. I have access to everything from worm...

I am trying a new (to me anyway) soil for my babies. Organic Roots 707. Previously I had been using Fox Farms Ocean Forest, and to be frank, I am a bit disapointed with it. So I decided to try a side by side comparison. My enviroment is as follows: Strain: Blue Dream, from clones, all the...

Your mother pays the rent / mortgage. If she is not in complete agreement, then find another place to grow. When you pay your own rent, you can dictate what grows where. If you have no respect for your mothers decisions, or her property rights, then why should anybody be willing to help you out...

I am currently harvesting my c99 crop of 6 plants. I grew them indoors, in soil, under 400 watt lamps and estimate my yeild to be around 1 1/4 lb. The seed source claims a 56 day flower, but mine went around a week to two weeks past that. This is one of those strains that will NOT show much in...

My genetics are all tried and true, Blue Dream, Og Kush, White Widow, and Pure Power Plant. All from clones, not seeds. All have shown to be good on indoor grows. Is there a good dry fert that can be applied as a top dressing as the plants get older? I will try too get everything mixed into...

thanks for the info. I have never read anything on some sativa strains not having amber trichs. I appreciate the info very much. I did think they looked ripe, but.....now I know. I really wanted to run this strain again, but if it was going to have hermi problems I thought I would have to go...

You got a hermie that you did not see. If i am concerned about hermies i start at the bottom of the plant in the dark with a green light and check for yellow. *** Can you give a little more detail? I never heard of the green light trick. I do this on every plant, very time consuming but i...

First time I have seen this, maybe one of the experts can enlighten me. I am currently harvesting a couple of C99 that I grew from clones of several of my mothers. While I was trimming one of the plants, I noticed a few almost fully developed seeds. These where very few and far between, and...

Also: There is a dairy near where I live that has composted steer manure for $25.00 a yard, would this be advisable for mixing into my planter boxes? How is the best way of mixing manure into the soil so as not to burn my plants? Forgive my ignorance on what are probably basics too everyone...

My situation: I have built several above ground planters to use on my first outdoor grow, as the ground where I am is completely unusable due too rocks and bad soil. I plan on filling them primarilly with a mix I picked up at the local worm farm of 10 % worm castings and 90 % compost. I mixed...

It is not at all unusual to see your plants 'stall'. You may think that something is wrong, having checked the enviroment found nothing out of order. I've had this happen several times and do not really worry overmuch about it. Temps OK? light schedule ok? Usually it is because the plant is...

The height you have to work with or the method in which you plan to grow are all considerations of just when to flower your plants. How much room do you have? Strains? Most Strains that I have had any experience with stretched 2 to 3 times their height when put to flower. I like my plants to...

Regenerating or re-vegging a marijuana plant is easy, and contrary to what was previously mentioned can yeild just as much as an un-revegged plant. You just have to be patient and be aware that stressing the plant can cause it to hermi. I have successfully re-vegged both Power Plant ( from...

I didn't know that a flowering plant can be 'modified' by tieing it down. I guess I assumed that all modification had to be done prier too putting them into flower. Thanks I will try that.

I think, from what I have observed in my grow, is that your young plants may be being exposed to too much light for such young plants. I used too have the same problem, until I created a seperate area for my very young plants using cfl's for lighting. Think of you plants as babies. When very...

My situation: I put a White Widow into 12/12 on the 5th of dec. (about 3 1/2 wks ago ) It is stretching a little more than I anticipated and I only have about 12 to 14 inches that I can raise my lights. I'm hopeing that the major stretch is over and I will not have any problems. All the other...

This is how I do it. I am a fan of Keep It Simple Silly ( KISS for short ) Get one ounce of quality trim, dry, and coarsely ground. ( or 1/4 ounce of good bud, dryed and coarsely ground ) Heat a large pan of water with around a quart or so of water. When it starts to boil add 1 lb ( 4 cubes )...

I find that if I spread my bud out on a piece of cardboard or newspaper and hit it very lightly with a fine mist of water from a spray bottle, rejar it, check it in a couple of days and repeat as needed I can get my buds to that perfect moisture leval without the risk of mold that bread, orange...

I have grown White Widow (Nirvana) several times, and have found that harvesting too early is a big mistake. The pocket magnifier by radio shake is a very useful tool for determineing just when to harvest. When I first see any amber trichs on the bud ( not the leaves, as the leaves turn earlier...
