    Question About Household Nitrogen Supplement?

    Bat Guano can be both, depending on the diet of the bays. Fruit eating bats generally shit higher amounts of P, while their insect eating cousins tend to crap higher amounts of N. I'd say the Guano is still good. Make a "tea" and feed that if you're worried. Is that yellowing confined to the...

    Cold temps can do this? Looks like sunspots

    I'm betting that you have the beginnings of a Ca-Mag deficiency. Give them a shot of Epsom Salts for now, and go get some Cal-Mag You definitely aint low in either P or K according to that test. It shows you lack N. With the levels of P & K you're showing, you want to add something with high N...

    Second grow "learn from your mistakes"

    You got some bushy "clones" there, Guy. When were they taken? Looks to me like they were taken mid to late flower, and had to re-veg. So far all looks good. How long ya gonna veg them? How much light you gonna put them under?

    HELP My plants leaves are dying rapidly from bottom up w/PICs I'm a newbie

    There aint a damn thing wrong with using MG. People do it every day. If it killed plants, they wouldn't be the largest mfgr in the US. Try and find a store that sells gardening supplies and doesn't carry either Scotts, Peters, or MG. All the same company. Now the directions on the packaging...

    Grandma dont beat my asss!!!

    If I had a $20 bill for everyone in prison for that proverbial 1 plant, or 1 joint that wouldn't hurt anyone, I'd be richer than Bill Gates. Even richer when you count the people there who just KNEW their friend wouldn't rat.

    Grandma dont beat my asss!!!

    It aint like that at all. Is this what this site is about? Giving minors advise on how to involve others in illegal activity without their knowledge? How to completely disrespect their parents/grandparents? Is that what YOU are about? All he's trying to do is finish a plant he had no right to...

    Grandma dont beat my asss!!!

    WOW!!! Did that hit a bit close to home? Sure looks like I struck a nerve. The truth hurts, but it'll make you a better person. What ARE you looking for? Someone to tell you how cool you are? Is your ego THAT fragile? As for Fakan, dontcha wish you'd have paid more attention in school? You...

    Grandma dont beat my asss!!!

    You got a lotta "IFs", and no certainties there guy. By what right do you put someone else at risk based on those IFs? I seriously doubt that 1 plant would get you caught either, but what if it did? Can you say for certain that Gramma won't get caught up in the mix should one of those teeny...

    rep if you used a veg spec bulb in flowering what would happen? rep

    I have both vegged and flowered under them both. I even did a grow where one side of the room got MH the other HPS, with the 2 combined in a "mixed spectrum" in the middle. I found NO DISCERNIBLE DIFFERENCE between the 2. Veg with HPS or flower with MH. I promise you that if you do YOUR job...

    Need advice on a pH tester. +rep for help

    I been using a Hanna "Champ" pH meter for the past year now with no problems. $80 well spent. I still have my little test tube, reagent and color chart, just in case. For the guy who said that pH pens aren't accurate, just how would YOU recommend to check pH? Or does pH even matter to you...

    When do buds grow the most during the flowering phase?

    If you get yellowing leaves or autumn colors at the end, you did your job right. That is the plant using up any nutes stored in the plants tissues. You'll wanna stop feeding nutes about 3 weeks before harvest. You'll get much better tasting buds that way with no ferts stored in the tissue.

    14-Year-Old Charged with Cultivating Cannabis Factory (250 plants!)

    Took tha words right outta my mouth there, GrowTech. I fit 72 on a 4'x8' table, and I have 4 of 'em. Props to the kid. (If it was really him) It's most certainly doable for a kid. I could have done it if there were any money in it back then. However, I'm going with the dude who said it was the...

    Canopy Management and Cleaning Up Plants

    You aint gonna damage or stunt the plants. Just don't go nuts. Think about what you're doing. Half way is better than never, I would think. I gotta keep 'em clean down there if for no other reason than it makes watering so much easier. I take my clones from down there during veg, so I generally...

    How late can you take clones in flower?

    I've taken 'em as late as 6-8 weeks, and I'll never willingly do that again. It was what the plants went thru that I wasn't ready for. They will look like hammered ass. You will get single leaf fans with no serrations, spiral leafed fans, and any and all sorts of freakish growth. They will look...

    1000w hps question

    Agreed. 18 to 20 in seems to be the ticket for me, even with aircooled hoods. I have a 4x8 table, and any closer than that I get light fall off at the sides and corners. I aint going for the fact that anyone has their lights 3 to 4 inches from the tops. ESPECIALLY with 1K HID lights. You'd have...
