I read a guide that said the life of the 600 watt HPS was between 10,000 and 22,500 hours which translates to about 2.5 -5 years @ 12/12. However, I also read somewhere that the lumen output decays far more quickly than that and that it would be a good idea to replace bulbs after about 1 year...

Apparently, Super Skunk can sometimes go completely purple when budding but I wasn't ready for the deep, dark, lush shades of an almost black/purple that two of mine put out. These pictures aren't the greatest so sorry about that. Having never grown this strain before I had no real idea what...

I have read of a nute/fert recipe which includes utilising a quarter of a teaspoon of Epsom Salts. But, being the world's laziest and stingiest tight-arse, (and since spending six bucks is a lot to me when I already have a 17 oz sack of 'Bath Salts' lying around), I thought I'd waste someone...

I have a young plant that in 12/12 (under a 600w in moss, perlite, vermiculite, and soil). I've raised it pretty much at 12/12 from about a week after germination. There is a pumpkin plant growing along side it in the same pot. It seems to be incredibly healthy compared to all the others and...

I found a single male flower that had opened overnight and it was in full bloom with petals open and had obviously released what little pollen it had in it. The male flower was on a tiny little plant that I've been growing on 12/12 from seed and had hermied overnight. Unfortunately, I...

My plants are in about their sixth week of bud on a 12/12 cycle. Yesterday the light was mistakenly turned off after about six hours. It was turned on again for about 4 minutes but this was still during their 'day' cycle. This morning the timer failed and the lights didn't come on until three...

This needs to be fixed please. https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/157345-have-plant-problem-check-here-26.html

If you watered a plant with carbonated water (non-sweetened of course) would the roots absorb the CO2? If you were doing a hydroponic (or one of its variants) type grow could you add carbonated water to the water they are growing in to aid in CO2 absorbtion? I read that the top 30 per cent of...

I wonder whether by pulping the leaves and adding them to water then letting them decompose a bit and then shaking them up into a 'green tonic' they could be added to the soil of a plant in order to fertilise it? My logic is that since these leaves should contain all of the nutrients that a...

This could be a trick question, but, if you revegetate a seeded plant after harvest, will the next lot of buds it produces be already fertilized? Also, just to make it double barreled, if you take seed from a hermie plant, will those seeds always, and I mean guaranteed, without any hint of a...

In many of those B-grade horror movies there were graveyards swirling with a cascading mist round the tombstones, (kind of like my living room on any Friday/Saturday night, hey, that's me in the cape with the fangs). That gas was sometimes carbon dioxide. It is heavy and so it sits and builds up...

I have made a discovery. It is that these cheap timers cack themselves because a 600 watt ballast spikes at 15 amps and these things are rated only to 10 amps. I've got 2 fucked timers, ten bucks less and two extra trips to the hardware store, two weeks of really messed up light cycles and (at...

I am in the 12-12 stage at the moment. If I need to do any work on my set up it's usually during the day which is the 12 hours of dark period for the plants. Apparently, if there's a light leak into the area during the dark period it can interfere with your plants bud growth, slowing it down or...

Someone told me that if you have a predominantly female plant that puts out a few male flowers that you can pick them off and thereby save your plant from becoming seeded and/or from seeding the rest of your crop. Any thoughts on this?

My friend told me a trick to increase the amount of resin that the buds will have on them. He said you get a razor blade and when the buds are still growing you very gently slice a tiny, not very deep cut, into the top of the buds. In his theory this will cause the buds to 'bleed' resin out of...

My friend reckons that when your plants are sexing and a male appears and you get rid of it then another plant will turn into a male because they are 'conscious' of the the fact there are no males in the near vicinity to fertilize them. If they've all sexed female I've also been told that one...

I have read that a plant should be repotted no more than twice, basically when it's overgrown its small seedling pot and then if it gets to big during veg it can be put into a bigger pot. Is it okay to repot it again if it gets too big or root bound in that pot during flowering or will repotting...
