    Advanced Nutrients

    I stop by this thread to get my dose of head-scratching when I read posts from pro AN growers.....most are not doing themselves any favors chiming in on here. I have good friends that work at a grow store....a store with an entire aisle of AN products. What do they use with their personal...

    Is it necesary to start in small pots?

    You can grow 'em in any sized pot you want. Most start with smaller pots due to lack of space in the veg area. If you go with a 3 gal pot keep in mind that growth above the soil will stall as the plant's tap-root looks for the bottom of the pot....but it's no big deal as once it does it will...

    Thousands of dollars wasted, my new keep it simple method..

    I've been using Jacks for about 2 years now. I grow in soil (happy frog) and it's a good match. I do add some cal/mag (their 10-30-20 has no calcium) about every 3rd feeding. Somehow I get away with using Jacks bloom booster from beginning to end....the plants never complain. For hydro Jacks...

    first time grower i got a few questions

    I agree with simply-slide.....it's time to do some homework. You'll find not only the answers to your questions now, but will also find answers to questions you'll have in the future...one's you haven't even thought to ask now. Here's several words of advice..... 1. Contrary to what it seems...

    6x8 Flower Room.. Lighting questions

    Oh....after 2 years of growing under a light-mover and after doing a side-by-side comparison (I have 2 flower rooms) it was quite evident that plants do much better with fixed lighting. I was surprised of how much better the plants did under the fixed lights as I thought it'd go the other way...

    6x8 Flower Room.. Lighting questions

    I have two 600's over a 4x8 room and feel that it'd easily cover 6x8. Don't be tempted with those bit XXXL hoods....at least not for a 600w. There's several videos online that compares the smaller narrower hoods with the big one's and the XXXL's defuse the light too much. Two 1000's would be...

    first grow setup... advice do's n dont's

    Should be an interesting grow. The trash cans may be over kill for autos.....but too much soil is never a bad thing as long as you don't have to move 'em around much. Everything looks good so far. You may find that the plants will stall in growth for a bit as their tap-root attempts to find...

    White Widow X Bigbud

    Well someone's revived this thread and I guess I'm glad they did as I've had many harvest of many strains since my glowing comments about WWxBB. It's all about relatively here......at the time it was indeed the best weed I've ever grown as it was my first several runs of the first strain I...

    C99 - 4x4 Gorilla Grow Tent Grow!

    I've grown FS's C99 in the past....nice strain. Give it as much veg-time as you can (I liked 8 weeks) and a big container (5+ gal). She'll be ready after 9 weeks of 12/12 and give you superior weed. She likes multiple toppings. Pest love C99.

    LOLLIPOPPERS.....Food for Thought

    Here's a picture of five plants at various stages of flower that were in a 4'x6' with four other plants of similar size. If the lack of light getting down to the bottom were to cause yellowing leaves, it would be evident with these plants. .....and I never plucked one leaf from these plants...

    LOLLIPOPPERS.....Food for Thought

    I spent about six months doing a TON of side-lighting in my flower room. T5's and CFL's.....I think I had over 300 watts blazing the bottom halves of my flowers. I had as many popcorn buds after all that as I do now without the side-lighting. If you follow UB's line-of-thought (most often...

    LOLLIPOPPERS.....Food for Thought

    By no means am I saying my little experiment is scientific and my comments are just my opinion. I even suggested that other's should do a side-by-side comparison and determine what works best for their type of growing techniques. Plants like my Blue Dream grows in a way where the bottom nodes...

    LOLLIPOPPERS.....Food for Thought

    I brought up a couple G13's Pineapple Express plants to harvest this evening and before I got started I stopped to admire these plants. It was then that I realized that had I lollipopped these plants I would have lost some yield. How much? Well, I decided to find out. I made the assumption...

    will this grow light work

    It's a good price for what you get....but.....I've learned the hard way that going cheap on bulbs just isn't worth it. My experience with cheap bulbs is that you might get one good run with them and then they degrade to the point they're useless. If money is tight...by all means go with this...
