    Does anyone grow "Sweet Blue" by Spice of Life/ DJ Short?

    So basically Sweet Blue is a cross between the clone only "Sweet Skunk" female by SOL and a "Blueberry" male by DJ Short in a joint project. This strain sounds very good to me, because of its sativa tendencies and parents. If anyone grows this, could you send me in the direction of a grow...

    Where to find "Earth Worm Castings" in major retailers?

    I've looked in a lot of the big-box stores [i.e. Home De Pot] and a couple local nurseries, and none of them apparently have ever even heard of worm castings. I've tried about 5 different places and I don't want to waste anymore gas and effort for a lost cause. I also don't want to order any...

    Could stretching be a positive thing?

    If you let your seedlings stretch, could you bury the stretched area of the stem to make more roots? Could you peel some of the outer skin off and apply root hormone and bury the rapid rooter or rockwool further down in the soil? Or even could you let them stretch horizontally, like in...

    Best outdoor TGA strain?

    So I need to decide between these for my outdoor strain: -Agent Orange -Jack the Ripper -Jack's Cleaner II -The Vortex I'm at the 33rd parallel in the temperate south-east U.S., so i can handle some long flowering sativas. I'm looking for the best sativa high too: trippy, soaring, social, and...

    Happy Easter!

    Got up this morning, too bad the Easter Bunny didn't bring me any cadbury eggs or peeps, but i rolled me a nice little "doobie" [because i "rolleditup" :lol:]. And when i say little, i don't mean it in the literal sense :joint:. Now I'm getting ready for church, because my significant other is...

    Is one 18" 20w T8 bulb enough to start my seedlings?

    I am making a seed starter box [like this one: https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=431 ] and i had the box lying around. I also have an 18" Under Cabinet light. Will this be enough light to start ~15 seeds in an 24"x4"x8" box [lxwxh]?

    Where can i get a "Hurricane Glass" lamp for cool tube?

    I need to make a cool tube, but i don't have a tube. I've searched thrift shops, salvation army, goodwill, home-appliance stores, bed bath and beyond, michaels, everywhere i can think of. I really don't want to order anything because i've had my identity stolen 3 times in the last 4 years. Where...

    Cloning other plants?

    My girlfriend likes to keep a garden, and in it is a plant that would be perfect to disguise my crops. I also noticed there's a pretty good one growing near my spot, but its too big to dig up and would be too big anyway. Can i clone them the same way i clone cannabis? Both of them have...

    traffic choppers?

    Do traffic helicopters pose a threat to my plots security? All 3 of my plots are next to a highway, like I can see the walls from the plot, but are otherwise perfect. Do I need to worry about traffic helicopters spotting my spot?

    Remote-Ballast CFL's

    So after coming across a thread on ICMag [http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=104860] about remote ballast CFL's, i decided to do a little research on the subject. The key reasons/benefits of remote ballasting your CFL's would be the same as those for remote ballasting HID's: reduced...

    The last leaves on a white oak.

    So the last leaves fell off the white oak tree in my backyard today. I am telling you this because my father always told me (and his father always told him, etc.) the leaves won't fall off a white oak tree until after the LAST frost of winter. I can only think of one time in my entire life when...

    I don't know why, but i love it when my plants grow leaves that look like the stereotypical pot leaves you see in textbooks. What do you love about your plants that you can't control?

    Phelps smokes with style!

    Just reading an article about Michael Phelps and how his Kellogg's sponsorship is being revoked, and noticed a little nugget. Noticed on the picture something that i hadn't noticed before.... [pay no attention to my shitty PS job.] He is totally smoking a custom label RooR! Definately not his...

    150w HPS from e-conolight.com is now only $11.90

    Yes. This is not a scam. 150w HPS that used to be $20 is now $11.90. Don't know why one would buy a 42w CFL when you could get a 150w HPS for the same price. This includes ballast, bulb, socket, and everything. All you need to do is remote the ballast and build a reflector [plenty of DIY's...
