    Was going to order 3 indica strains- Am I overlapping "highs"???

    So I looked over Attitude and searched the boards for reviews and everything seems to be positive, no complaints on them or Seedsman. I want to get some good indica genetics and they have Afghani #1(pure afghan), Hash Passion(Moroccan), Narkush(Kush x Kush). I would love to splurge and buy them...

    Anyone know if Seedsman seeds are trustworthy?

    They sure are inexpensive but sound pretty good. http://www.drchronic.com/products.asp?category=Seedsman+seeds. But if they were really good, why so cheap? Thanks.

    Need recs for a Jack Herer knockoff and a good Thai strain

    Sensi's Jack Herer is around $170 a pack on most sites. I looked at Jock Horor but no review I found made it sound like the beast that original Jack Herer is. I wondered if anyone else has a suggestion. Also was thinking about ordering World of Seeds Ko Chang Thai landrace or Dutch Passion's...

    how hard/dangerous repotting from "bad" soil to good?

    Since my soil ph is in the acidic range and I'm seeing MG deficiency I'm wondering if I should repot into a new soil. My current soil is peat, pine bark, vermiculite, perlite. Does pine bark make raising ph really difficult? I have dolomite and am using it but man, I sure wish it would...

    Help, flushing not raising ph.

    Magnesium deficiency probably due to low ph. 2 gallon pot. I checked run off after flushing with two gallons of 7.0 water two nights ago and it was 6.0 or below. So I am flushing again tonight this time with 5 gallons 7.0 water and the final runoff is still around 6.0. Am I missing...

    Curing Mag deficiency- low ph lockout

    So I tested my run off after flushing with with 6.8-7.0 water and the run off was acidic at 6.0 or lower(yellow with a "fish tank" ph tester). I must have really low ph for a decent flush to have shown so low a reading. Do I have to keep flushing until the run off comes out above 6.5? Should it...

    Does a dual ballast exist that runs MH/HPS at same time?

    There are lots of "dual" ballasts that operate on 120 & 240v currents but I'm looking for a ballast that would I guess have two power cords and run an MH and HPS bulb at the same time so you could use separate timers to control when each bulb was running. Anything like that exist?

    Are all HPS lights about the same color spectrum?

    Trying to learn all I can about lighting right now. Have been looking over HTG supply and had a question about bulb quality and spectrum of the major brands. High Tech Garden Supply How important are the "sub" colors like violet, yellow and orange? Would any good HPS have a complete balance...

    Need rec for calcium/magnesium source- epsom salt?

    Think my plants need a little calcium and magnesium and don't want to buy an expensive bottle of calmag. The symptom I'm getting are the rust brown leaf tips. Is epsom salt only a magnesium supplement? Isn't Epsom available at most drug and grocery stores? What store normally carries...

    In Southeastern US, when do plants usually start to show sex?

    I can't remember how it went last year but I was thinking mid August is when they start to sense the shortness of day and but out the sex organs. Anyone have an idea when to expect it? Thanks.

    Germination- root clue to sex?

    I can't remember where I read but someone posted the way a root comes out of the seed when it cracks tells you the sex- that if the root projects straight out, more likely a male and if it curls around the seed like a U or J it's more likely female. Anyone heard or believe this? This morning...

    Question on CFL placement

    I have 26 watt, 1600 lumen CFL bulbs and am wondering what distance is ideal and how far from the plant does the light stop being effective If 1 inch too close(liable to burn)? Do they still being effective at 2.5-3.0 inches away? I was under the impression they have to be right up on the...

    Germination quesion: after they crack how much root tip until planting?

    Only have four seeds total(3 strain-2,1,1) so I have to be perfect here. They all popped a couple days ago and I checked them this morning and three seeds look the same- no root lengthening. I was thinking I need to wait until the tips lengthen to around a quarter inch but I also don't want to...

    Need a real inexpensive grow light. Please advise

    My friend really needs to grow indoors for the first month, then move outdoor. Is there any kind of inexpensive bulb he can buy that generates enough of the necessary light to grow plants for four weeks? He's strapped for cash. I told him they'll only likely get to around six inches anyway so...

    How much do buds grow the final week?

    So I'm still conflicted about harvesting.. I'm checking my plants with a RS 60x scope outside at night. Two plants have trichs that seem about ready. The trichs are mostly cloudy or milky white and an occasional amber. Quite a few spots on both plants have a real amber hue so seem to be turning...

    Neem oil on flowering plants- bad idea?

    Have 10-14 days left on a couple plants and was thinking about an OMRI sulfer based 3 in 1 or an extract of Neem oil 3 in 1 to make sure bugs, fungus, mold stay away. They both say they last a week or two and I won't be around the plants to watch them that closely. I thought I read neem oil is...

    Effect of stress during flower- lengthen or shorten harvest time?

    So I'm wondering if conditions of stress would lengthen or shorten the flower-harvest time of MJ generally. Lets say you had to move your plants to a safer spot and in the process or because of, tore a few roots and bent the main stem(plants are "ok" though) and not getting to feed and water...
