    Total Infestation-Fruit Flies?

    It happened in 2 days. I suspect fruit flies. My idiot roommates let fruit ripe and rot in the kitchen, near my seedlings. I then noticed they were landing on the seedlings and hovering around. And not many....just a few. I neemed them, then put them in my growroom. For 3 weeks-no...

    White Powdery Mildew Spores

    Does anyone know how long spores stick around in a room? I had an entire grow destroyed by powdery mildew 3-4 months ago by PM. I only have one location in my house to grow. And I tried every single remedy suggested, and none worked. I want to try and start up again. So do the spores last...

    Light Cycle for Autos

    Hey y'all, 'been growing a long time but not much experience with autos. Of course I know they flower automatically, but I need opinions on light. Since they are autos, they'll be very small plants, Would it make sense to blast them with longer periods of light to get more yield? Like maybe...

    Back After 8 Years

    Glad you are all still here. I'm 57. Lost everything, except my passion for growing. The Great Recession wiped me out. Grew weed since 1979 when I hung out with Obama in high school. I got a small grow going. I never stop. I love growing as much as I love consuming it. I just moved to...

    WTF are these seed-like particles in my colas?!

    High guys, I've been doing this a long time but never came across these white sesame-like seeds in my colas. They are not seeds though. They are scattered in the colas at random. It was like someone dumped confetti over them. They're fucking up my bag appeal. There were no hermies or males...

    Seedlings with Yellow Primary Leaves

    I have never encountered this before. Many of my germed seeds are coming out with yellow leaves. The seedling leaves looks light green, then turns bleach white later. It severely retards growth after surviving. The cotyledons are a healthy green. After they pop, I stick them under a T-5 CFL...

    Any Other GOOD Seedbanks besides (bad) Attitude?

    High everyone, it's been a while, but I am seriously growing these days. I'm legal, and living in Seattle. LEGALIZATION RULES! Anyway, after so many years buying from Attitude, I'm done with them. They've botched 2 orders in a row, and since Rachel isn't there anymore, customer service sucks...

    Anyone Else "Solid" Like Attitude?

    I've been loyal to Attitude for over 5 years, but that may come to an end. First of all, if you bought from them and had any issues, you dealt with Rachel. And she was awesome. I had successful replacements when Rachel was onboard, like when my AK-47 Autos were not auto. They grew to 4 ft...

    Unheard of Germination Issue...

    High folks, it's been a while, but trust me, I've been growing. I have been doing this for 36+ years, and just when I thought I've seen it all, I obviously have not. In my newest project, I plant 12 viable and fresh seeds in my typical fashion: I fill up red solo cups full of Fox Farms...

    Re-Veg = BUSH!!!

    Man, here is a Gigabud that I re-vegged, and I must say this is one of the good things about re-vegging. The buds are going to be hella thick! :mrgreen:

    Do you flush? Do you kill the lights prior to harvest?

    I just wanted to get an idea where our peeps stand on these two topics. I am from the old school, but 'want to stay current with new discoveries. Thank you.

    MH Bulb Going Out...Or Ballast?

    High guys, this afternoon I plugged in a vacuum cleaner cord to the surge protector bar, and my 400wMH bulb went out. I then got up close, and noticed that there is an arc visible in the very middle interior, but it did not light up entirely. I unplugged everything, and the bulb did the same...

    Confess Your Bonehead Mistakes in MJ Growing

    Ok, I'll start. I may not have done anything so dumb (yet) to ruin a whole grow, but I just did something pretty damn stupid :dunce: . As I was getting out the Sweet Deep Grapefruit seeds from the breeders vial, I dropped the whole thing and all 5 seeds dove into the carpet. None were visible...

    HTG Supply-Out of Biz?

    I was shopping a second T5 CFL system, but the link nets me a "404." Did I miss a memo at some point? :sleep: http://www.htgsupply.com/

    Yellow Sprouts-Will They Green-Up?

    High guys, today two of my beans cracked, sending a sprout above Advanced Nutrients soil. This soil is not "hot." At 12 noon, neither of two foam cups had a sprout in them. I get home tonight, and I get these two that look like alfalfa sprouts :-( . Very yellow and no green. I just pulled...

    Bottom Leaves of Seedlings-Yellow

    High guys and gals, I just wanted your input on my Pineapple Express seedlings. I know older leaves yellow-up and die, but it seems too soon in my case. Or is it? I am using a T5 and clamp-light CFL's. It's in AN soil, and they have not been fertilized. The soil is wet, hence the dark color...

    General Wisdom and Guidelines for Beginners

    High everyone. I made a thread over a year ago, and 'decided to bring it back to life under "Newbie Central." It was previously in the Grow Room subsection. Below is a copy and paste of that thread; I hope this will shed some light on the next growing generation. "I am not a self-proclaimed...

    My First Journal....After Growing over 35 Years!

    High pot-peeps, here will be my first journal on rollitup.org. I am no longer paranoid about growing; I ditched my wife and I hold an MMJ permit in an MMJ state :mrgreen:. I used to grow outdoors in Hawaii starting from 1977. I no longer live there and now I am growing indoors which I find...

    Two Week Dark Period Prior to Harvest?!

    I hear bits and pieces of this recently. Supposedly, it squeezes all the juice and packs on more crystals. I'm skeptical. Anyone know anything about this, or tried it? I'm almost ready to pull mine. I'm like a week out right now. Thank you!
