    Beans for Brakeman

    Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know that the bean auctions to help Brakeman's family (some of you know him as ScooterTrash, others as Prodigal Son if you're old enough) are up and running at BeanBid.com. As many of you have donated beans or were his friends, I wanted to make sure you all...

    Hi there. I was just reading through some threads, saw your name, thought I would say hey. You can find me at a couple of places. Firestaxseeds.com or Marijuana-Culture.com Hope all is well. (Man, it's been forever since I logged in here, kitten in my avatar is 3 years old now, lol)

    When do autoflowers stretch?

    I get a 1/2 oz off one branch under a 400hps. If autos give that low of a yield why grow them at all?

    Forgot to mention I did find a lightly traveled site called Marijuan Form, some others from MP are there, but it's very basic, hard to load pics, but lightly traveled. If we have to set up a new base camp it may be an option. Look for me there if you need me.

    Hi, Melvan here. I just tried to pop on to mp and it started to load, but just basic html and no links, can't log in or anything. I think they must be replacing the actual server if we're getting something. I say keep checking, I think it will be back. I'm ready to go home, these other forums...

    Multiple autoflower grow DR100, 600 hps

    Whatever. I give up on this site, 20 years of growing and I have never seen such horrible advice offered to people. We've got people here telling you to cook your plants, in another thread you have someone telling a newbie to do their gardening during the 12 off, in the other I saw people...

    Desperately need help cant solve problem 4 weeks into veg!! hydro

    If there's any green, fleshy, no yellow, growth anywhere just take some cuttings and start new plants. Why do you have to go looking for them, they're sitting right there in front of you. While you're waiting for the cuttings to root you can continue to try to correct your current issues, but...

    Multiple autoflower grow DR100, 600 hps

    Why is it so hard to accept that the obvious answer to "yellowing of new growth on the top" is that your 600w hps is only 8" from the top of the plants?

    Just started flower, How should I transition with nutes?

    Seeds out of medical grade smoke? I see hermies in your future. Keep a close look out for those nanners. If it is truly medical grade and there were just few seeds it's a good possibility that the weed came from a hermied plant. You may be alright, you never know what's going to happen when you...

    Marijuana Flowering Stage Advice

    No, 3-5 times per minute is optimal, most people can only manage one or two. I have a CO2 reader in my room, it's reading changes on average 4 times per minute as my exhaust pulls out the co2 and pulls in fresh air with o2.

    Multiple autoflower grow DR100, 600 hps

    New growth yellowing on the top, sounds like leaf bleaching from keeping a 600w 8" away from the plants. Move the light up.

    When do autoflowers stretch?

    No, he's not fine. Those temps are too low. Optimal temp for marijuana is 78-81 degrees with 45-55% humidity. A 600w hps should not be 8" close to a flowering plant, this is an auto, it's budding. You're only getting away with 6" if your bulb is old and putting out less radiation. I've been...

    Hydro vs. Soil for newbie

    Before you buy the Pro-Mix you need to get the grow area set up properly, adjusted to maintain its temp and ventilation. You want that space as close to optimal as possible before you put a plant in it. The last thing you want to do is deal with construction and environmental issues after you...

    Marijuana Flowering Stage Advice

    For flower you need 5000 lumens per sqft. If you use the T5s you have to be sure that you use half blue spectrum/half red spectrum bulbs in the fixture. A fan is about more than air movement. Air needs to exchange in your space 3-5 times per minute to take out the O2 and bring in the CO2 the...

    Mr. Peabody: First Grow: Entering 9th Week of Flower: Your Feedback Wanted!

    I've been growing in Pro-Mix BX for almost a decade and have never flushed a plant. This is done to get rid of salts and nutrient build-ups you might taste in the weed. I've smoked it both ways and I can't tell a difference. Then again, I'm a pack a day smoker and coffee drinker, so I can't...

    lst or top 1st ? with pics

    If you're topping, why the need to lst too? What's the available height in your room? If you do top, then lst, top first, wait a week before you begin training.

    anything wrong

    Starting them in the solo cup, then transplanting into the 5gal buckets is the best way to go. When the seedlings get to going all they way to do is reach out those roots in search of water. This is difficult for them to do in the large bucket as it holds the moisture so long the roots don't...

    Hydro vs. Soil for newbie

    Hydro is not the way a first time grower should go. A first time grower should use only Pro-Mix BX, that way they control everything the plant gets and they can learn how the plant grows. Pro-Mix BX is a soil-less mixture by the way. The first grow is not about top yields and massively growing...
