    Real quick... few questions about cloning.

    It's best to take clones from the bottom as these are the most established branches.

    Scratching my head when it comes to manicuring

    Trimming is already a big enough pain in the ass, so it's probably best you don't make things harder on yourself. Always trim thoroughly before drying.

    Digital scales

    I'm Looking to buy a digital scale. Wondering what models people recommend; what features to look out for. I'm not looking for anything too crazy. Probably weighing in .01 of a gram up to 1oz. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Plant pots size

    You only need to "pot up" enough to keep your ladies from choking. Keep an eye on em. if you're worried about it, wait until just before a watering, and pop the soil out of the pot just enough to peek at the roots coming out the sides. Being a little root-bound is ok, but you don't want the...

    first grow

    It'll run you more than $500, but check out my first grow journal (link is in my sig). It's done in a closet of similar size. Harrekin is right though. Read, read, read. There is so much knowledge in these forums and while it can be a pain to sort it all out, its worth it in the long run...

    flowering and molasses questions

    On my first grow I used molasses in addition to the full foxfarm soil feeding program (liquids and solubles). I was feeding every water though, not every other and it was waaay to much for the plants to handle. By the end, they were obviously suffering from nute burn and many fan leaves had...

    Wow, I totally spaced out on this one. sorry guys. Total yield was about 105g dry. It worked out to be about 21g per plant. Been playing around with a few things like leaving out the molasis (the Foxfarm solubles do well on their own and the molasis seemed to be a bit much for the plants.)...

    New grower, 2x2x5 grow box!

    I just harvested my first grow in a 2x2x5 tent with 5 plants. It was tight but I'm happy with the yield. I ran into space issues with the clones as well. I ended up taking a tall Rubbermaid container and mounted a 2ft fluorescent bulb to the lid and cut a hole in the side for cords. Its big...

    Belladonna & LA Woman

    Do to unfortunate circumstance I have quite a large lapse in photos taken at the different stages of Flowering. I do have some pics from harvest however. Here's one of the Bellas. And at a closer angle... The size and density of this LA Cola really surprised me after it was all...

    So I could potentially harvest now if I was so inclined?

    How are they looking? Belladonna & LA Woman

    Here's some pics of my babies. They are just a couple days short of starting week 8 of flowering. They have already begun flushing and will receive only R.O. water until they are ready for harvest. Any suggestions on how long until harvest would be greatly appreciated. Some bad planning has...

    How do you catch the water drainage?

    Slow watering is the key to preventing too much waste. I use propagation trays in the earlier stages to catch the water. The excess evaporates fairly quickly in the summer tent so its not much of a problem. In the later stages when the plants are too large to fit in the trays and too large...

    pros and cons of vaporizers

    Pros: -Its not as bad for you because you're not smoking, you're inhaling vapor (Also, much smoother to inhale). -Its really cool, and not many people have them. -You can reuse the bud after you've vaporized it by either smoking it or saving it up and making butter with it. Cons: -The good...

    Price of Bud if Legal

    Exactly, people will only choose a dispensary if the cost benefits are worth it. Or if they are new smokers who don't know where else to get it. Again though, in a world where toking is 100% legal, the stigma around it goes away and at that point finding weed would be as easy as finding a...

    To Cut or Not to Cut

    I definitely wouldn't cut anything till its ready for harvest. However, I've read about people cutting the top when its ready to be harvested, and then allowing the lower buds to stay in flower for a bit longer to allow for proper maturing. I second the recommendation of adding some light...

    Soil Growers

    I'd compost it if I still had my compost bins, but I don't so it goes to waste. You certainly don't want to reuse it for any indoor gardening though.

    Price of Bud if Legal

    This is exactly what I was thinking. The prices almost have to drop at least a bit otherwise the street dealers all stay in business. A middleman here or there might be cut out but it wouldn't be hard to underbid if the legal prices mimicked the illegal ones. I definitely see the discounts...

    Photography Tips & Tricks Thread

    While I'd love a Digital SLR I can't quite afford one at this point. Right now I'm working with a Canon Power Shot SD800 IS. This thing works great. The best tip I can give is to put away the tissues and turn off the flash altogether. External lighting is always best. I like taking the pics...

    Belladonna & LA Woman

    The Mothers were placed into the fall room and given 36 hours of total darkness. After the 36 hours they were awoken to the 150w HPS for flowering and the two 4' T-5s with the cool spectrum to further encourage growth. This is of course, now on the 12/12 photo period. The new nute schedule is...
