    Is it ready yet? Blue Widow, Vanilla Kush Headband +REP

    It is usually pretty obvious. The leaves will tell you. It might be in the form of discoloration, or it could be as subtle as the edge of the fan leaves curling up or twisting. Overfeeding could definately decrease potency as it stresses the plant. When your girls get stressed, their...

    Is it ready yet? Blue Widow, Vanilla Kush Headband +REP

    You would be suprised what the last 2 weeks does for your buds. They will fatten up and really start to stink. Don't know how long you have been growing or if you have stuck with a particular strain for more than 1 grow but you will really start to learn as you continue to grow. Especially...

    How many plants could fit?!?!

    x2. If you dont mind watering more often, I would do 12 3 gallon pots in a scrog type setup. And only veg them to 12 inches or so. you should get a nice canopy. I just experimented with bigger plants (5 foot blue dreams) and decreased my yield per plant because of lack of light down low on...

    White walls vs. Reflective walls

    i would consider either 2 400's or 2 600's. I have a similar grow space...2x7x8. I recently updated my closet from a 1000w hps to 2 400w hps's. I have way less heat to deal with and light to the canopy is waaaaaaaay more even.

    The Dreaded Claw! :o(

    almost all of those could cause it. Your best bet is to start eliminating culprits. Get yourself a ph tester and check your runoff. Lift your pots and only water them when they are "light". Put your hand at the canopy level. Is it hot? If so, raise your lights or implement some temperature...

    super spreader

    Hey all! Will the super spreader heat shield work for most lights? I have 2 xtrasun hoods with 400w lumatek ballasts and am looking to reduce heat directly under the bulbs. Thanks.

    fox farm

    I use FF's ocean forest and light warrior 2 parts FFOF 1 part LW 1 part perlite as far as their nutes, I had nothing but problems with their solubles so I stopped using them altogether. I now use Blue Mountain Organics and home brewed AACT's.

    I havn't heard of these but I would bet you get better results if you transplanted. Do an experiment and find out for sure

    new to soil

    The ones I use are composted tree bark but pretty much the same thing. I have always thrown them straight to 18/6 and have really high germination rates. Definately put several drain holes. Unless you distill your own water, RO water is probably your better bet (cheaper at least). The stuff...

    Real Oragnics?

    Buy a book called teaming with microbes by Jeff Lowenfels and wayne Lewis. It will be a good base for knowledge regarding organic gardening. And do some searching in threads by Subcool and Ohsogreen

    You dont want to start seeds in a big pot. You will end up with a healthier root system if you transplant to bigger pots after your plants roots fill the space in smaller ones. When going the seed route, I start them in a propagation tray with Ready Gro Super Plugs. Once they have roots...

    Best organic nutrient combination for soil

    BMO has a shelf life of 1.5 years, as long as you keep the lid loose (so microbiology can get oxygen). Not sure about FF.
