    Cigarette Smokers....you can really screw up your grow.

    Ditto.....and when it got me the first time I too thought it was bullshit. God, I wish it was bullshit.

    Cigarette Smokers....you can really screw up your grow.

    My first plant that had this died within days of my first noticing the black edges on my plant's leaves. Mag and/or Nitrogen deficiencies would not kill a plant in such short order. This isn't my first rodeo, and while I don't consider myself any sort of expert, I do know the difference...

    Cigarette Smokers....you can really screw up your grow.

    I too have smoked around my plants for years without a problem. I've spent the last 10 hours researching this and am totally convince that YVM does exist in marijuana plants. I wouldn't put a post up like this if I hadn't as I am not one to perpetuate myths on here.

    Cigarette Smokers....you can really screw up your grow.

    Sadly I've had to learn the hard way about Tobacco Mosiac Virus (YMV). Handling your plants without gloves after smoking cigarettes can cause a very nasty virus called Tobacco Mosiac Virus: http://extension.psu.edu/pests/plant-diseases/all-fact-sheets/tobacco-mosaic-virus-in-greenhouses Not...

    what should i do for reflectors

    You want to evenly defuse light, not reflect it.....white is the most even way of defusing your light.

    Dinafem- Original Strawberry Cough - Anyone?

    I've grown a bunch of Dinafem's gear.....their "Original Amnesia" will fuck you up! I was less impressed with their Critical Kush but would grow it again. Overall, I feel Dinafem is one of the more consistent breeders around.

    Anybody using T5?

    I'm glad Rid posted his pictures....he and a common friend both grow from beginning to end with T5's with great results. I think that there's nuances to RM3's grow style though. His plants are not over-lapping, or are 5' tall. This sort of counteracts the inherent lack of penetration with...

    problems with BCSC NL#5 ??

    I've had issues with NL#5 from Sensi Seeds......same deal....would pop and once it had to rely on it's roots.....died. I've had six of 'em do this to me. Close to $100 down the drain.

    Topping question/advice

    Your plants would be a good candidate for Uncle Ben's topping technique where you let it grow to 5 nodes and then top it above the second TRUE node to grow four main colas. This topping or mainlining will give you the best yield of all topping techniques. Keep in mind that this type of topping...

    Deformed leaves on clones, single leaves and cupping down

    If you're getting single leaves that are broad and don't look like typical pot leaves, your plant is re-vegging caused by interrupting the night (lights-off) cycle. If this is the case for you, you're in for a month of your plant straightening itself out, and even then your yield is going to...

    best reflectors for 600w

    There's video's on youtube that test various reflector designs and the parabolic got the worst scores....by a bunch. Sorry, I can't remember what hoods got the best scores. I DO remember that spending more money on an air-cooled hood didn't necessarily get you a better hood though. I think a...

    How much time daily to be a good grower..?

    Regardless of hydro or soil, trimming a lb a week will probably be your most time consuming part of your grow unless you invest in a trimmer. I guess it all depends on what you're paying and getting for a pound if it makes sense to you to grow. I agree with the assumption you'll need around 30...

    giving defoliation during flower a try

    I worked on fruit farms for years, and did indeed prune apple and peach trees....not to give more light at the bottom, but just as UB stated, to increase the fruit size (not yield, but the size of the fruit). I suspect that the pruning I did actually lowered the total weight of the yield per...

    giving defoliation during flower a try

    At one point in time of my grow, I ran about 300 watts of lighting that blasted the bottom halves of some of my plants so I wouldn't have popcorn buds. Guess what.....there were as many popcorn buds on those plants as there were on the plants that had no under-side lighting. Once again I had...

    Sleestack Skunk freebie from Herbies

    I grew Sleekstack X Skunk before......I think it took 12 weeks of 12/12 and gave me fluffy buds. It'll stretch pretty good on you too so keep that in mind. The weed was OK, but not worth the wait. Sorry for the bummer review. There are many other better strains out there. I'm loving G13's...

    My latest grow

    As far as your purple haze, I'm guessing you'll get as least a 1/2 lb out of it. You may want to put it in the fridge during lights-off to get that purple color you want. (again...kidding)
