    Oranges. Who else loves em?

    Since the first time I tasted an orange I was hooked. I've always hated going to restaurants and asking for a glass of orange juice because... frankly it's not really a glass. It's a tease of oj. A glass of oj should be more than a couple of mouthfuls. On top of how delicious it is, it seems...

    Topping and grafting at the same time?

    I have 3 strains going at the moment and I was wondering if I should swap tops? Would that be to much stress on the plant at once?

    So I am 9 1/2 weeks into flowering and this morning I noticed a single thrip on a leaf that jumped away and flew off when I got near it. I released 6 lady bugs into my closet with my 2 remaining plants. Can I do anything else besides putting up the blue sticky thrip traps?

    Dr. Earth Potting Soil as a fert tea?

    So I was reading on the back of the black bag of Dr. Earth Potting Soil (which by the way things are worded on the bag and everything it seems like it's a good soil for marijuana) and I noticed on the back it says you can take 1 gal of the soil and 1 ounce of molasses in a 5 gal bucket of water...

    Do you transplant or plant in your final pot?

    I've been seeing a lot of people telling others to plant their seeds in 3gal or 5gal buckets after germing. Just wondering why people do that, aside from not having other pots, instead of starting off small and upgrading. As long as you don't drop your plant or rip the root ball in half, it's...

    Wife freaked out, 6 week flowering plant harvest

    So one of our 6 plants wasn't looking very good. Very droopy and looking like it was wilting, the other 5 were fine. It's 6 weeks into flowering and my wife made me cut it down to dry it. She thought we might have had mildew issues and wanted me to get it out before it spread to others. I cut...

    5 weeks into flowering and a branch broke off.

    Is it worth trying to root it? Would drying it out and smoking it just give me a headache? Should I just toss it?

    FFOF vs Dr. Earth Potting soil in my next grow.

    I am going to plant 6 new seeds tomorrow in my starting soil. When they outgrow the pots I am going to transplant 3 of them into FFOF and 3 of them into Dr. Earth Potting Soil (the one in the black bag, not the one on their site). The guy at the nursery by me talked me into the FFOF but I had...
