Grown from seed... followed some nice rules of thumb (but sure they must have been feminized somehow, despite being from a local grower in 'the Big Apple'). I use a soilless mix of Coco, Shagnum, turface and perlite with 10 to 15% organic additives (worm castings, blood, bone, and feather...

"I couldnt bear to read the whole foliar feeding doesnt work or try feeding a plant just through the leaves it wont work the root system blah blah blahh." "Anyways aside from that rant....." Brilliant grammar and well executed argument. You sound like a genius! Can't read...

Yeah... I'm a bad spellir....lol.

There are solutions, and Diotamacoues Earth is a good one. I also love the Trichoderma solution. I have made, in a small apartment, both thermo-compost and worm-castings with little un-wanted pest problems. The reason... tons of healthy microbes and red-wrigglers out-competing them... I also...

No worries. I wish you luck.

There are great resources and books on indoor growing. That said, these are basically what you will need: A container/box/tent for growing in. This should be lined with a reflective material. Mylar is great, but flat white paint can work fine, if kept clean. The unit should have an area cut...

You would need some pretty good lighting in a little container like that (3-4 55 watt, or larger, CFLs minimum) keep them close and line in the inside with reflective material (flat white paint may be your best bet, if it will stick to the material...). You could get a small LED, but do your...

Oh man, that is funny.... At the risk of taking this whole thing way too seriously, and I will try to refrain from shit related humor for now... The way the feces of a carnivore/omnivore breaks down can be tricky. Nearly every book I've read on the matter has warned against using it. I know...

Word.... Very good point, Wolverine. The 'terminator' gene stuff is way fucked... I read about that some years back. Good luck convincing Uncle of anything he hasn't already decided...., he seems to have already decided all environmentalists are bullshit. Like trying to get a christian to...

And what idiot, pray-tell, would mistake 'feelings' for empirical evidence, judgement or argument? I may be many things, but an idiot is not one of them.... At least that's what my mommy tells me....ha ha ha. I am not holier than thou, in fact, if such a thing as 'holy' exists, I am a good sight...

Chemical companies are saintly, charitable organizations. Its those damn 'green' folks that are profit driven crooks! No, but seriously, I'm sure there must be money to be made in at least one of the two... I don't know... would you willingly ingest 'Roundup'? I'm sure Monsanto has all our best...

Hey all. I just wanted to share this graph on PAR (photosynthetic active radiation). What is important to note is how much of the spectrum in HID and CFL lighting does not fall heavily in this range. Refer to the following link...

Thanks budman111. BTW: Its 'small 't' truth'.... Not that it matters that much... Oh, and thanks for the welcome, Wolverine97... Growing is my passion, and I have really worked in isolation for so long... Nice to have a forum where ideas and experience can be exchanged. At any rate...

I have always used superthrive (B-1) on my bonsai trees and now on Cannabis as well as a diluted nutrient solution, Dutch Gold A and B during grow, Sensi Bloom A and B now that I'm flowering, a few drops of biodegradable shampoo/detergent as a 'spreader'/'sticker', and a light dose of micro...

While they do make their own sugars for energy, plants are capable of using many simple carbs in the soil if needed, converting them into the types of sugars they use, like fructose. When a plant is growing quickly, carbs in the soil can be helpful, but too much can cause all kinds of problems...
