generally people spray soapy water out of a spray bottle. Aphids breathe through their skin so it suffocates them. Ive found you need to use a fair bit of soap for it to work properly, basically use as much as you can that will go through your spray bottle. Cheers

So your water pH is naturally 5.5? Seems a bit low...

Ya in the fridge, thats the best way to keep them. Make sure its in an air tight container so they dont dry out and they should last for years.

What a joke. Anyone following what is really going on is going insane. The rebels have pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda. The most proof they have of anyone using chemical weapons is Saudi workers giving chemical weapons to the Al Qaeda rebels and they blew themselves up. For all the "proof" the US...

Anyone read those Redwall books? I never actually finished one, but they were good reads from what I remember.

If you want to extend your season a bit, throw a bunch of mulch around the base of your plants, either straw or wood chips or leaves or something to keep the roots from freezing. This will help them go a bit longer and hopefully you will be able to pull a bit more off of those plants. Cheers

Its a male, bud. better take it around back with your shotgun.

I would agree with Keffa on this one, plus added stress could lead to a greater chance of having a shim (hermie)

Your buds look as small as the pictures you posted.. or maybe its an optical illusion. If they have trichromes on them, you can get high brother :hump:

I was reading on another thread about using Hydrogen Peroxide to disinfect a stalk. It seemed to work for him, so maybe give that a try? Im not sure burning it would be a great idea..

Clones always look droopy until they root properly. Once you see some roots showing at the bottom of the pot, top it or supercrop it (supercropping is where you bend a branch or main stem without breaking it but enough to keep it from growing up straight) Both of these techniques will get it to...

Looks like a burn to me. The best 2 investments I made in growing was a 20 dollar PPM meter so I never overfertalize and a 90 dollar pH meter to make sure my plants are getting the nutrients I give them. Usually giving them the recommended does is a bit too much, I would flush them and see what...

Is there any reason you want to start in cotton? Its hard enough to learn how to grow in soil. I failed many times and I know a lot of other people did as well. Its just adding another degree of difficulty for no reason. Surgeons dont start doing brain surgery for a reason. If you really dont...

Welcome to the forum! This is a great resource from beginners to even the most experienced growers. I wish you the best in all your growing adventures! :leaf::hump::eyesmoke:

CFL's are safe until they break and release enough mercury to create a HAZMAT situation. I wont be buying CFLs again because of this. Interesting info on the ballast though, thanks!
