No doubt it's all in my mind about the sweeter taste but I won't complain about the illusion!:mrgreen:

Get a brix meter and study plant sugars. Sugars increase with molasses.

Sorry to differ but I disagree...Using it sparingly all the way to the finish has made my buds taste slightly sweet at the end. If folks use pure water to flush the plants at the end of the flower cycle they may be flushing out the sugar. Happy Gardening! GrowIT!:weed:

Try AK-47 or AOTA for both, it kicks butt. Also any predominantly Indica strains for the production green house, they flower earlier and still make heavy buds. Happy Gardening! GrowIT!

Hi, I'm wondering what your watering pattern is? Also why no nutrients? Also, My apologies if I cover topics you're already up to speed on... Reason for the watering question is,... commonly, folks gardening in soil mixes water too often, forgetting to allow the top half of the root zone to dry...

Hi!, Just stopped in to say nice plant! Try a tablespoon of molasses in a gallon of water, every other watering till they're finished. Don't forget to let the top half of the root ball dry out a bit. They flower hard when they feel a drought coming on in the roots. Too much water reduces size...

Hey, make cookies w/pot butter, No smell, still need eye drops though. Lasts a long time too! GrowIT!:weed:

Hi, I use Fox Farms'; Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, and Grow big in various combinations in my hydro set up. In fact I use them at a lesser strength than they suggest because the plants seem to like it better. 6 cycles a day through hydroton/expanded clay. Simple to use and it's organic. Good products...

Hi, Well the answer I think really depends on what kind of system you're talking about, whether you're growing indoors or out, hydro or soils and so on. And of course how long you'll be gone for. I'll talk from a hydro perspective. First things first. If you build a hydro system plan for...

Hey, I might wonder about a few things first...Why are the tips drying? Yeah maybe aphids but a nutrient and or pH imbalance tends to be more likely. Could even be they're too close to the lights eh? Even flourescents can over heat a leaf. Don't sweat the dried out part unless you're a neat...

Hey Fantastic! You're gonna have some nice colas! Everybody looks pretty happy! Regarding transplant...I wouldn't, it'll shock her for sure & that will set things back and might stunt growth over all. She can probably take it but it'l up set her. Just keep up the feeding and try not to over...

Though there are many ways to the same goal, the closer to natural conditions the less stress for the plants, use 18 hrs of light. Skip the suggestion for 24, sure it works but that's cutting out the night dark cycle which is just as important to a plants health. They need it dark to click into...

Hi, You're Welcome....I take a clone(actually 4), stick them in 3 inch grodan cubes in the green house dome tray to root for about 2 plus weeks and often pinch them at some point to to get them to branch. When they are 5 inches and have branched at least twice (i.e. 4 branches) I move them to...

Hi Yep those look very sativa like, Slowest flowering strain on earth. Trick is to start them a lot earlier. Even use a cold frame in early spring. Some varieties take almost 10 months to mature. Since you started so late the yield will be smaller than it could've been and possibly be...

Yes moving the lights farther away will make it stretch but don't bother. When you set it to flowering it'll stretch then. Just grow it until it's well branched & as tall as you need then flower it. Yes nutrients are as important to the plant as they are to us humans. However, Bagged soils...

Try using a couple T-5 flourescents. I use 2, 24 inch single tube fixtures, relatively cheap. 60 watts ain't gonna do it. I've seen several CFL's used though, even cheaper! Main thing is... the more light (lumens) they get the less they stretch.

Just sounds like damping off (rot), try a peat pellet to start your seeds. They can be found at most garden centers. Hard little discs. Moisten, let expand and set seed in top. Transplant the whole gizmo. Happy gardening! GrowIT!:weed:

I'm sure you could find one the size you need but I use a 100 qt Coleman cooler, Very strong, insulates nutrients, no cracking do to water weight. Kicks butt! No more Rubbermaid floods!:weed:

The fast answer is ..buy a decent growing book...like Jorge Cervantes book, ...study the way plants grow in nature and keep things simple. Your questions are all kind of connected. 1) Veg stage is 18 hrs lights on, switch to flowering stage by reducing light to 12 hrs ....indoors, under...

Hi, I've used the Ocean/Forest and found it's pretty good all by it's self i.e. no pH issues and yet it has quite a bit of nitrogen available right off the bat which might be a jolt for a new transplant or start. Also, don't get the idea that any bagged soil has nutrients for longer than a...
