hey wassup ppls. ini are new to the forum but not so much to the gardening. ini call it "strawberry indoor horticulture" around here... legal purposes.
 
Hi everyone, Just signed up to the forum. Growing a "male" Green Crack in an aquarium set-up...attempting to Hermaphrodite it by increased nutrient levels during this growth stage, not sure if this will work. My friend has spider mites on all of his plants so I used an organic method to obliterate the bugs...there are two methods I know of One is Green Tea, freshly brewed and cooled. The other is regular plain old dish soap. This has enabled me to eradicate most pests on the majority of plants I have grown both indoor and outdoor. I'm noticing a mistake that he made with this plant...the soil is absolutely dripping. True, some varieties thrive in soaking wet conditions but from what I've found, a 3x a day misting promotes growth with watering no more than 3x a week . Anyway, like I said my experience with MJ is limited, a few plants over the years-- white widow, and Blueberry; respectively. My yields were not that good, but then again I was young. Anyways just wanted to introduce myself and say howdy.

Hi Stoners...

I've been posting around but haven't introduced myself. I was looking for info on ventilation when I stumbled across this wonderful site with everything I needed to know. Thanks for that. So I started to grow again after my "friend" moved away and I didn't want to go through the hassle and paranoia of finding a new friend...if you get my drift. I decided to build my own grow tent, 6wide x 5 high x 20" deep, which although it's working fine, I think was a waste of time when you can buy a similar tent size wize for probably $30 more than I spent to build it. I've got about 400watts of CFL in there now, but I happened across a great craigslist deal for a 600 HPS/MH from someone who decided it wasn't for them. I'll put that in when I switch to flower.

Right now I've got 1 bagseed that I started as an experiment that I'm LSTing to let the real stuff catch up before switching to flower. I have a Kandy Kush and 3 KC Brains White going too. 1 week from now I switch to 12/12

I have some White Widow coming up next in the seeding tray and I'll be taking some clones before the switch. I think I'll try a SoG next time.

Just fyi, I'm an older grower, not AARP yet, but it's around the corner. I'm a guitarist, singer, writer and I have a CD that actually sells..I mean really, to people other than my mother...scary.

Anyway, thanks for all the help you've already given, and I hope to start giving back soon.

Im new to the forum but not new to the site. I have been referring to this site for little over a year now for referencing my grow. I tried sending info once before and didnt have proper permission so this is a trial before the questions.

Hi all new grower here in NorCal. I have one outdoor grow of two plants under my belt and started two clones indoor about 3.5 weeks ago. I have a Blue Dot and a Green Crack that I got from a Disp, very new and didnt notice the spider mite damage and infestation. So a couple weeks ago have to spray and isolate the totally sterilize my closet. Now back in the closet and full, happy and ready to flower. I will put on 12/12 fri and hope for the best.
My grow room is in a closet in my spare room sectioned off for Germ, Veg and flower areas. I have a 2x2 T-5 for germ, a 2x4 T-5 for veg and 2 150w HPS for flower. I have fans blowing for passive ventilation for now but ordered a 6" inline for exausting the heat and will use the centeral air for cooling or just open the window since winter is upon us. Right now the temp tops out at 84 but the Humidity drops to 41% so I think I will be getting a humidifier fir next veg.
Nutes used and will be using as directed; Sensi-grow A&B, Sensi-bloom A&B, Big Bud, overdrive, earthjuice, and a couple more not sure of the names (white Shark? and another for the B's).
Anyway hope this turns out well, hell even if it doesnt its still a great hobby and you learn from your mistakes. I learned allot from my outdoor grow of 1 GDP and 1 Purple Kusk that both topped out at 5ft and gave me 1.5lbs of cured very purple smelling bud, Yum.I have been reading for days and cant wait to share some pics.
 
Hey guys im new here, Im setting everything up for my first grow and i could really use some help. I have some very important questions and i would really appreciate it if someone answered them for me. thanks.
1. My growroom is a big kinda garage thing. but I can insulate it very well. The problem im facing is i live at 3,500 feet altitude and winter just started and im worried if i bring the air in from outside i wont be able to heat it enough for my plants. I have three samll room heater and i was wondering if that would work to heat a 100 x 100 Square foot room.
2. The room is attached to the house. could i vent and filter air in and out from the house to my grow room and back. THat way the plants would get the CO2 from everyone in the house and i could filter it so they wont smelll it when it comes back and it could save me a shitload on PG&e. PLease let me know what you think.
3. I have a 16-16-16 Fertilizer. and george cervantes says to put in 5%, but can i put in 7% and still be safe without burning.
4. Can i plant my clones directly in 16-16-16 fertilized soil.
5. George cervantes says the perfect ratio is 15-15-30, But i couldnt find anything that strong. the closest i got is 16-16-16 and im going to put a smashed up bananna at the roots for extra potassium. I was planning on maybe giving it some 18-18-24 Miracle grow after about a month of veg to boost them and then switch to miricle grow flowering for flowering. What do you think?
6. If i decide to do a hydro pot as well just to test, could i plant my bubblegum kush in a container filled with marbles and pearl lite. and feed them a diluted 18-18-24 miricle grow solution every day for veg and just switch to the miricle grow flowering for flowering. will that work?
7. also can i reuse my soil after this crop and instead of re-fertilizing it can i just plant my new clones in and feed them the 18-18-24 miracle grow.
OKay please listen to my rationalizing. 15-15-30 is the perfect mixture. the closet thing i could get to that is 18-18-24. tahts only 3 points over the perfect ratio. which is nothing right? it should be fine. And could i put more solution on there if I use a buffer like more potassium or something???

PLease help me guys. Im sorry for all the questions. if you guys answer these ill be ready to grow! thanks guys!

Hi all, just want to introduce myself to all. Im a new indoor grower and been reading a lot lately and decided to give it a try with some seeds i have from my bags. I took the seeds and placed them in soaking towels and into a ziplock bag they went, i left them for 3 days and found 3 little seedlings with 1 inch roots. So i went to home depot and grabed a bag of organic soil and they been slowly growing. Im using CFL's for now untill i learn more about all of this but they are 2 23W in the 6500k range or daylight. here are some pics tell me what you think. Also looking at setting up something that will give me the best yield out of my work. Currently living in an apartment so I've been thinking of a box or closet setup, which ever is easier to take care of any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks for listening and looking foward to post some updates.

Hi all, new here. Looking to learn and share (mostly learn) knowledge with the community. I have been familiar with cannabis for a few years, but am looking to grow these days so this is my branching out (so to speak). Coming from Michigan (US), am not a MMM patient however I might give that a shot if others seem to feel it's worth it.
