    Outdoor vs indoor quality

    Indoor grows are much easier when it comes to quality. As long as you have it set up correctly for light, watering, and nutes you'll get consistant grows every time. Outdoors introduces too many variables, (bugs, animals eating the plants, pot thievrs, etc.

    how long should roots be on a clone b4 its ready to transplant?

    I agree... use rockwool. You didn't need to scrape at the node either. That's what the 45 degree cut is for, to expose the phylem WHERE YOU WANT ROOTS TO DEVELOPE. I let the clones stay in the cloner (water, domes, etc) till I see roots starting to protrude from the bottom of the 1 1/2 inch...

    When to cut clones

    I grow in 12 plant batches so I wait till theres at least 14 good shoots ( groth tips with at least 2 nodes below the tips) but it's really up to you. I cut clones every 5 weeks and never have a problem finding tips. I start a new mother after 4 or 5 cuttings, moving the old Mother into...

    Question about Clones from a Flowering Mother

    I transfer mine into flowering at 10 to 12 inches, but I've never ACROG'ed or any fancy shit. My finished plants are about 4 feet.

    cheapest site?

    Fine, Then don't spend any. It shouldn't be that hard to find some bagseed... Likely you'll get it for free, and who knows? It may be great! The purpose of BUYING seed is to know in advance what you're going to get. You're right... The price of seed has gotten pretty high, BUT, when you stop...

    water curing?

    I've been growing White Widow for 7 years now. I tried the water cure method on a few oz's last year. The results were not great. The weight loss was about 25 % more than normal dry/curing methods, the color was a dark green, and the potency was only slightly higher than the same weed cured...

    Question about Clones from a Flowering Mother

    This is correct. You CAN clone from a flowering plant, but it takes a LOT longer. Put them under 24/0 and leave'em it'll take about 4 weeks for them to revert and start growing.

    What do I do with my hermie? (pics)

    Maybe I'm going blind... I don't see male pods on any of the three pics in this thread. A male (or hermie) is generally taller than a female, and the pollen pods hang in clusters. As far as I can see, the plants in the pics are female. If you really DO have a hermie, I'd isolate it and one of...

    If you use a Portable Air Conditioner, please step in..

    My mistake... I meant to say 5000 BTU not watts. It's really not as usefull as I'd like. Been thinking about buying a more powerfull unit No windows in your Flowering room?

    If you use a Portable Air Conditioner, please step in..

    I use a 5000 watt window unit in my flowering room. A window unit drains itselt to the great outdoors so I don't have your watter full issues. Mine does lower the room temp a bit, but I've thought many times I should have gotten a larger model. With 7 400 watt lights AND a gas CO2 generator...

    is this auto or preflowers?

    Images 209 and 210 clearly show an infant male pollen sac. The last 2 images show what COULD be female flowers in a couple of weeks. If all these photo's are of the same plant it's a Hermie. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
