My compost bin is used for dumping anything vegetative, including any botched grows, old baggy left-overs, etc. I hadn't mowed that section of our 5 acres in a while, and one day my wife came running to my window. *TAP-TAP-TAP* "Bradford! You've got a weed growing out here," is what I...

Alright, folks, last night I transplanted eight plants into a new potting soil in order to prevent what appears to be nutrient burn. Since I have the soil material, I mixed my own potting soil (for vegging) with 1 part humus, 1 part compost manure, 1 part vermiculite, and 1 part spaghum peat...

I tried a few commercial potting soils, but they seem to burn too much of my little gals while vegging. I'm curious as to how a basic mix of the following will provide for my girls: 1 part humus 1 part compost manure 1 part vermiculite 1 part spaghum peat Is this a sufficient base to...

Instead of seeking for and purchasing good potting soils for plants, can I simply make a potting soil out of humus, compost (manure), spaghum peat, and vermiculite? Would that be sufficient for the plants during vegetation stage? Would that then allow me to control the nutrients better? I...

I don't know if this is a sign of some sort of disease, pest, or nutrient deficiency? Or, is it even a natural part of the growth cycle? Any thoughts or direction might be nice.

I tried growing rag seed this past summer, but it was horrible. So, I've simplified, learned a bit, and have some quality seeds. Here are some pics, so far. They are just over 3 weeks from seeding.

For those who are serious enough about organic (or sustainable) growing with soil, I'd like to pass along an organic seeding soil mix which has germinated over 95% of my seeds. This will completely cut down your cost compared to any seeding soil mixture you'll find online. And, by the way...

Just out of curiosity, since I'm cloning for the first time, how long generally does it take a clipping of the mother plant to die if it does not take root? I'm looking at these clippings (hopefully I can get pics soon) and am curious if they would remain green and upright after three or four...

Just curious if one can spray too much water too often on plants being cloned? Can they be over-watered by spraying they leaves/stem too often? Thanks in advance!

I've got candy kush just at 8 weeks old on 24/24 (CFL and T12's) and, if I'm not mistaken, I'm seeing some balls starting to hang over. I thought they didn't sex until you started flowering them at least 12/12? Am I really high, or does this happen?

Has anyone tried any organic ingredients to make a worth-while cloning medium? I know vermicilite (which is organic), peat spaghum (which is organic), and perlite (which is not organic) is a good combination, but I want to avoid the perlite. Do you think using builder's sand would be a...

I've got several adult women about to be harvested, but I've got a few little veggies ready to start flowering, which means I don't know if they are male or female, yet. Are my females past the point of being pollinated and getting seeds from newly flowering plants (if those plants turn out to...

Hello, everyone! I trust all are doing well? I'm just now chopping my first grow and am investing in new lighting for this next grow. I have a 10'x12'x8' (120 sq. ft. or 960 cu. ft.) room in which I'm growing. Vegging Using 36 sq. ft. (3' x 12') or 180 cu. ft. (3'W x 12'L x 5'H): Ten 48"...

I decided to sample a cola from my first grow. So I quick dried it and am pretty damn high, thank you very much. I wanted to see if I liked it with less % amber trichomes. It tastes like shit because I didn't cure it, but it still works. :mrgreen: (Alright, the truth is I was jonesin' and I...

Hello, everyone! I've posted in the Newbie section, but how rude of me not to post here and introduce myself! I'm a first-time grower (currently with 15 plants about to harvest and another 20 or so just seeded) and absolutely LOVE this website. Yes, I am a Christian and I take my faith...

Alright, most may not remember (since most may not have read) my last thread, . Since then I have reconfigured my PVC structure to allow for side lighting. I still have yet to wrap it in plastic sheeting and put up the mylar, but I think this is going to help some more. So, my question is...

This is my first attempt. I've just ordered some reflective mylar to "complete" my grow-room. I may invest in some better lights, but they seem to be getting the job done. Not too bad for a first-timer?
