    Does glass block light?

    Clear glass in and of itself is "neutral density". It blocks light equally across the spectrum. Depending on the quality of glass, this light blockage can be as much as 30%. Auto glass (your car windows) tests at 70% visible light transmission, meaning it blocks 30% of the light passing thru it...

    Anyone used Alaska® fertilizers?

    My bad! Sorry. I did not know there was a "Blooming" formula. Good stuff, I'll look for it.

    How hot is too hot?

    DUH!!! I just put the thermometer in the actual grow area, at about the same hieght as the plant tops. 90 deg. DAMMIT! The thermometer read 75 to 80 JUST OUTSIDE the growing area. So it would appear that I have a temp. problem. How hot is too hot? These things are supposed to thrive in the...

    Anyone used Alaska® fertilizers?

    I bought some too. Looks like good stuff, but from all I have read and been told, it's good for vegging, but not so good for flowering. It's 5-1-1. High in Nitrogen, low in P & K.

    Cops serve warrant by mistake! Thank GOD for the toilet.

    NEVER under ANY circumstances lie to or hold out on your lawyer. He/she can't set up a defense for something that they don't know about. And one of the worst things is for your atty to be in court and get blindsided by the DA about something you SHOULD have been upfront about. They will throw...

    Is it REALLY worth it?

    I would love to be afforded that luxury!! To be able to do it just to try different strains, and face minimal penalties if I DO get caught. I truly hope you never quit growing. You'll never find a dealer as reiable as mother nature. It's great. I only wish I had started earlier, before we got...

    Is it REALLY worth it?

    I know this aint english lit 101, and don't expect it to be. It just goes to show not to take things (or people) at face value or first impressions. I have nothing but respect for most everyone here. I'm down to 2 bagseed plants, about 5' and in flower. And actually, I will get time for 1 or...

    Is it REALLY worth it?

    You are right. Buying is a choice I made. So was the decision to grow. I weighed the possibilities. You are right, the chance of getting caught is slim to none IF you are smart about it. This is NOT an attack on growing your own, please don't take it that way. I applaud the efforts. I just...

    Is it REALLY worth it?

    No, not at all. In fact I admire the creativity, ingenuity, and pure science I see here. This is more a study of psychology more than anything. My mind just travels down roads that few go. The whole reason I started growing is that we could no longer get our stash readily, and with the...

    Is it REALLY worth it?

    True that. There is alot less risk growing it than going into certain parts of town to score, or buying from someone who is less than careful. And you lucky assed medical permit types have alot less risk than most others. (God bless ya!!!) I just wondered if anyone actually thought about the...

    Is it REALLY worth it?

    This site fucks me up. I was telling my wife about the fact that there are alot of people out there who couldn't put a properly formed sentence together, spell correctly, or use proper grammar, yet could hold their own quite well conversing with Botanists, Horticulturists, and the scientific...

    could anyone help me with a humidity problem

    Why would one want to RAISE the humidity? Mine is between 50 and 60 as well, it did get up to over 70 for a couple of days. I am trying to figure out how to LOWER the humidity to around 25 or 30 for the last few weeks.

    converting 240v ballast to run off 120v

    Take apart the ballast box. Where the electrical plug goes into the box, there should be a neutral (green), a white, and a white labeled wire. There should also be a few other wires in there. The unit should be using the wire labeled 240. you are going to want to switch this with the one labeled...

    Baby Bud Smells?

    There were times I'd walk in the house and smell them, most times not. Right now, I'd say I'm about 4 weeks from harvest, and no odor. I gotta get right up on the buds to smell anything. As long as you are venting to somewhere other than inside your house, you should be oK having company. Air...

    Cops serve warrant by mistake! Thank GOD for the toilet.

    REALLY good water pressure!!! i wondered the same thing. Mine are that big, and if the cops came to the door, warrant or no, I'd be fucked. There just aint no easy way to dispose of plants in a hurry.

    marijuana bust, saw the same pics on this site!!!

    Thats my question exactly!!! Thats one well thought out grow op. He HAD to have told someone, and he got narc'ed out. There is NO WAY the cops stumbled on that one all by themselves.

    does anybody know what this is???

    Hold the bus!!! Don't do anything yet! You appear to be in the exact same boat I was in 3 weeks ago. Those babies look exactly like mine did. I now have 2 out of 6 left. Did this start when you went 12/12? Mine were fine during vegging, but had started to show the same signs. I then went to...

    Humidity question

    According to many sources, the lower the humidity during flowering, the more resins the plant produces to keep the bud from drying out. So I would figure that lower is better. But I defer to those who have more growing expertise than I.

    why and how am i getting high off my male leaves?!?!?!

    All you who have never gotten high on leaves weren't around in the 60's & 70's. Before someone figured out that preventing the female from pollenating produced more powerful, and larger buds, thats what we smoked. We grew plants, and when they were ready, we plucked them outta the ground. We...
