    Bitcoins? What is up with this for an investment?

    You won't pee in my soup as I do not own a single bitcoin. If there were a bitcoin futures contract, then I would be trading them. Also, I don't think anybody started daytrading because of a commercial; they started daytrading because they thought it would be easy money, and subsequently learned...

    Bitcoins? What is up with this for an investment?

    Never said it follows "rational economic rules". It is following speculative economic rules, if you will. There is a very long history of speculation, and the rules don't change with the instrument. If? Have you looked at the price action in bitcoins at all? As for the major booms and busts of...

    Bitcoins? What is up with this for an investment?

    Because the $1k level is a psychological verification of its legitimacy, IMO. As for the rules, if it is tradable, and people are doing the trading, the game is the same as it ever was. As bitcoins becomes more commonly used, there will be more people holding them at any given time. If the...

    porky pine strain?

    Sorry, but the Marihuana Naming Commission has rejected your brand proposition for combining religion, pornography, and aristocracy, a triple whammy of impermissibility.;-)

    What's the Best Media (When You Got Burned Using Just Rockwool)

    The only reason I can think of that your 6" rockwool cubes didn't work is that your solution was out of whack, either pH wise or PPM wise. What you are proposing will probably work OK, but I am not sure that the extra materials are needed. The biggest problems I've had with rockwool are: 1...

    Who does the real orange bud?

    Final DP OB: 9 out of 10 seeds germinated. 4 males, 4 hermi, 1 female. That may be my doing, I push plants during pheno hunts to root out (and eliminate) the hermi prone plants. My prior comment about the yield is erroneous: this strain gets big. Great yield, beautiful dried, excellent lemony...

    porky pine strain?

    Don't feel bad, I bought something called "Pineapple Platypus Blitz" and "Siberian Tunguska Fireball" from the same guy. They both sucked, but what awesome names.

    What's the Best Media (When You Got Burned Using Just Rockwool)

    I typically lean towards smaller reservoirs, it takes a big reservoir to flood 5" depth. If you are flooding that deep, then I am puzzled as to why the rockwool didn't work. Are you using Pargro? I have had problems with Pargro and tend to stick with Grodan. How big a plant are you shooting for...

    What's the Best Media (When You Got Burned Using Just Rockwool)

    6x6x6 rw cubes are awful tall for a typical ebb/flow setup. Probably you needed a different size of rockwool. The local grow shop is stocking "growstones" which are remarkably lightweight chunks of recycled glass. Pro-mix alone is not easily saturated from the bottom up. Cocogro is. I am...

    So, what are you thinking of getting yourself for Christmas?

    Don't forget to grab a bale of FoxFarm's "Lucky Dog" with that! (J/K, get the Pro-mix, it's cheaper, better, and there isn't a graphics artist within 100 miles of the factory.)

    Will i find indica dominant phenos and sativa dominant phenos in a hybrid strain?

    Funny you should mention that ratio as my experience has repeatedly been exactly that: about 1 in 10. (But only on seeds that have cost a few bucks. The cheaper the seed, the higher the ratio.)

    250 HPS or 150? for a 2x2 area

    Yes, wattage can make a difference in quality. Maybe not much of a difference, but still... I would not use less than the 250w HPS for what you are attempting. Plus, 250s are versatile. In the summer, I use one for vegging the occasional pheno hunt seed crop.

    what makes quality weed when you're growing?

    I used to believe in the "absolutes" quoted above. Today, I know better. My current unknown clone has clear trichs and will knock your socks off. It doesn't get better with age, either. Ultimately, it is best to think of trichomes as tiny chemical factories of which we know very little about...

    Will i find indica dominant phenos and sativa dominant phenos in a hybrid strain?

    It's not just BCBD. Best bet is to get a clone from each and then you are set if either plant turns out to be any good to smoke.

    Liquid Karma

    You and me both. Every time I go in a grow store and see the vast array of magical products, I wonder, "Who in the fuck is actually buying all this stuff?". I am a GH fan and have questioned them about stuff like Floralicious. I did not get the answers I was looking for. They made some noise...

    How strong is the smell??

    The odor variation among strains is one of the many amazing things about this plant. The lowest odor strain I have encountered was a bubblegum pheno. The grower was only growing two plants in a closet and did not use any odor control. You could not smell it unless you stuck your head in the...

    You looking for advice? Read This

    As noted above, the RIU main search function does indeed suck. The search in the "search thread" function is a bit more useful. Still, I usually use google command line "site:rollitup.org keywords here". That returns only results from this site. Even with that excellent tool, it is not always...

    Broke up

    Look at the bright side. How often do you get to jettison them across the border? No worries about seeing the bitch at the local grocery store. That's marvelous.

    Helping the Homeless

    Sir, your heart is in the right place. You are a true charitan. I've always known these laws going on about "human trafficking" were some kind of nonsense designed to strip me of my natural rights. I am definitely going to give some serious thought to your methods. The only thing that bugs me...
