    Which of these strains has the best potential yield?

    Hi, I am growing 6 plants and am about to put them outdoors for the rest of the season. They are all different strains. Where I am putting them outdoors, it is basically impossible to dig holes without a backhoe. So, I am putting each in some containers that I've gathered up. 5 of the...

    Container help

    Hey guys, I've just found out that its pretty much impossible to dig holes without a backhoe at my site. Just too many huge roots and hard clay. I'm going to have to put my plants in some containers that I've scraped together. I have one really large 20+ gallon container and I am really...

    Keep deer away from my plants

    Hey, I've got some plants I am about to put outdoors here in a couple of days. I've got some 4ft by 50ft fencing/chicken wire from lowes that I am thinking about using. If I cut out some portions of the fencing, bend it into circles (with about a 4-6 ft diameter) and tie them off into that...

    Should this be enough light?

    Hi, I'm starting my plants indoors inside a small ~ 1'x2'x1' plastic storage box. I've got everything airtight except for the air intake vent (basically just a small hole I cut at the bottom of one ends of the box). There is an exhaust fan on the other end closer to the top that has been...

    Easiest plant to grow?

    What's the easiest strain you've ever grown outdoors? A strain that held up to rookie mistakes, bad weather, and other problems, but still continued to grow and finished like a champ? The easiest strain I've ever grown has to be Skunk #1. Its an extremely stable plant and a strain used in...

    Alright, opinions on Peat Plugs, + other substrates

    In the past, I have bought those humidity domes that come with the Jiffy peat pellets. I've never really had a problem with them. I read one source that said NOT to use the Jiffy #7 Peat Pellets. Is this information correct? Right now, I'm using a 50/50 FFOF/Light Warrior mix with my germ'd...

    Creating a humid environment

    Can someone tell me if this is a good idea. I've got one tiny seedling and a few other seeds in a cup that haven't broken the surface yet. I've heard you are supposed to keep the humidity up. Since I don't have a humidity dome, I gave each container a spray of water, then put some suran wrap...

    Growing in HAY

    I was over at my dads the other day and he had a few blocks of hay. He said he was going to be growing tomatoes in the hay. Has anyone ever heard of this? Could this be done with cannabis??

    Mexican Brick Weed Seeds

    Have any of you ever tried growing out some seeds from some Mexican brick weed?? I've just germinated 9 seeds successfully and have put them in some premi soil in 16 oz party cups inside my little grow box. Seeing that this stuff is grown for commercial purposes, don't you think it would be...

    Seedling Problem...Will it survive?

    I wish I could post a picture of my seedling, but I don't have the chip for my digital camera. As I've posted, I think I got a bad batch of seeds. Out of 6 seeds, only one germinated. All the seeds looked very small and almost black. The only exception was my Cheese seed. It had a pink...

    BC Bud Depot (Purple Star)

    Anyone had any experience buying from BC Bud Depot? How are the shipping times to the U.S.? Also, has anyone grown their Purple Star? I think I'm going to go with some of those for outdoor. Looks like they always turn a nice shade of purple during flowering and they say they are easy to...

    Terrible time germinating Attitude seeds

    I am trying to start my grow indoors then move them outside. I am having a terrible time getting started though. I got my seeds from Attitude, some of the strains are Trainwreck, Cheese, Auto Pakistani, Auto Afghan Kush, Lemon Skunk (DNA) and White Berry (paradise seeds). A lot of the seeds I...

    Seeds for Cancer patient

    I am looking for some very, very cheap seeds to grow for my dad who is a cancer patient. Right now the cheapest I have seen is the pick and mix from attitude, where I will get 1 free fem'd seed with an order. I would gladly accept bagseeds at this point, but do not have access to any. I'm...

    Strain for Cancer Patient

    My dad is a cancer patient and I am growing for myself, but him mainly. I've already got a few strains started, but have decided to get another strain for outdoor (trying to insure I get plenty of bud for him). I don't have much money at all and am thinking about just getting one of the pick...

    Seedlings above ground??

    How long does it usually take for seedlings to break the surface of the soil?? I'm just really anxious. I germinated 4 seeds and you could see that the seeds had cracked and could just barely see the tap roots. Maybe I should have waited for the taproots to get all the way out of the seeds...

    Starting Indoors, moving Outdoors

    I have 4 seeds that just germinated. I put them each in a 6" container with a mix of FFOF/FFLW/Perlite. I've got 6 26 watt (6500K spectrum) CFL's inside the growbox with them. My plan was to get them started indoors for about 2-3 weeks, then take them to my outdoor spot and plant each in...

    Moving Indoors to Outdoors

    I have just germ'd my 4 seeds and put them in a FFOF/FFLW/Perlite mix under 6 x 26watt (6500 spectrum) CFL's. I want to let these grow indoors for 2-3 weeks then move outdoors. I want to know, is there any possibility that these plants will be kicked into flowering by taking them from a...

    SUPER fast germination!?

    I began germinating 4 seeds late last night before I went to sleep. I just checked on them and 3 of the 4 are already showing a taproot. It has only been about 10 hours!! Is this common? I soaked paper towels after folding them up, then put the seeds in and put the soaked papertowel insided a...

    Size of outdoor holes??

    I'm about to startup an outdoor grow and I'm wondering if it is really worth it to dig gigantic holes in order to get really big plants. I have enough Fox Farms Ocean Forest to use 15-20 gallons on each of my plants. I'm doing this whole operation on my own and that would be a LOT of hard work...
