    Ways to sterilize soil without baking?

    You could also get one pint of water and whirl around a bar of IVORY SOAP. It has to be Ivory because its the ONLY soap thats 100% natural soap from the earth with NO additives. In addition to the soap use one TABLESPOON of hydrogen peroxide. Soap kills bugs peroxide kills fungus, mold, sodium...

    Ways to sterilize soil without baking?

    Just buy soil from a place that doesn't store it outside. My buddy has never sterilized his and has never had a bug problem and he lives in the woods. Just a tid bit, alot of people say to get PLAIN dirt with no nutrients. We both disagree there. He is also Miracle Gro soil buff for the exact...

    Flowering Help. Generating seeds?

    As of now theyre ALL female and no hermie or males, and the buds are looking pretty decent. He considers them getting seeds with optimum TLC, lighting, and enviromental conditions ruined. But it happens I guess. That pollen may not have even been viable. FYI He cut them off at the dirt and hung...

    My buddy has only female plants and no hermies. They were never pollinated. He is 5 weeks into his flowering stage and a few plants are starting to generate yellow banana shaped objects pushing out of the middle of the buds. I was hoping they were just unhealthy leaves but... they aren't lookin...

    pistils still turning red even after harvest question. +rep for helpful info

    I just stumbled upon this and figured id give my 2 cents worth. Do the pistils have THC? No, However they do most likely have trichomes on it that contain THC. The only problem with trying to get high offa pistils is, unless you use tweezers and are ridiculously careful most of the trichomes...

    using molasses

    I compared 5 different jars of molasses and I noticed grandmas is the best because. (aka this is what you want to look for on the nutrient label) Idk on a scientific level what these elements do but they're good for plants. Most important is the unsulphured factor. Sulphured anything going into...

    *READ* 12 hours light, 14 hours dark

    Longer light = more/better buds A good friend of mine and I were sharing an idea over a few joints about a year ago and I though I would share the experiment results with you. One major thing people seem to forget when dealing with plants is that they're not genetically preset to run on 24...

    Don't forget to open the box before you buy the Bay ballast and make sure it has an electrical outlet. Some of them are just wiresto be wired directly into your building or house wiring. Keep in mine also, when dealing with an internal ballast it WILL get VERY hot, almost as hot as the bult, so...

    i need a good mh conversion bulb!!!

    i need a good mh conversion bulb!!!

    #1 MH conversion bulbs are junk they don't put out as much light as advertised most of the time and are weaker than standard MH grow bulbs and usually have a weaker blue and violet spectrum. Thats my own biased opinion. I had a 600w HPS and I put a MH buld in it. It burned out after 6 months on...

    Leaves sagging more every day....?? (pics)

    You realize if you can see them in the dark period they're getting light, which is an absolute no no. Two or more bad things can come of this. These are the biggest problems. 1) Your plant will revert back to vegetative state (ive never seen this but I heard of it) 2) Your plants will slow or...

    True or false about brownies?

    I don't understand how this works. Most brownies are baked at 450 degrees and you have to add the buds to butter, won't the heat ravage and plunder the THC content?
