    Potency? why not?

    Ok so since I was very much a part of jacking a thread from a poster looking to increase his potency/quality in his garden, I will try and clarify some things that I've stated. As a grower/breeder the very first step in growing for potency for me is genetics. Once I have selected a strain to...

My ceilings are 10' and the room is 30' wide and 20' deep with a veg/nursery room on the backside of this flower...

    Is it love or is it science?

    So my boy SUBLBC (not Subcool of TGA) threw up a Youtube video yesterday regarding the love for plants and if it has anything to do with the overall production. Well the video was more or less a joke, but it did touch on a couple subjects that I'd like to get RIU's oppinion on. Being in the...

    So I have been posting in the general forum and have been keeping everyone up to date on my 2012 outdoor grow, but I think it may be better off over here in the outdoor section. So here it is; I have five Platinum Purple OG Kush plants that are all about 6 feet tall and about five weeks into...

    Day 35 and things are starting to swell! Pic heavy!

    I've been a busy guy putting together a new 10,000k room from scratch at a new location and hadn't had a chance to check on my greenhouse since Thursday. The weather has been excellent so I wasnt' to worried about mold issues, just wanted to see the progress. Well it's safe to say they've...

    Coconut water flush?

    Has anyone flushed with coconut water before? I've seen results that are pretty mind blowing where 5 gallons of coconut water was added to a 100 gallon res over the last two weeks of flowering. I know a lot of growers flush with mollasses or other sweetners to add even more flavor and aroma and...

    So today is day 30 of flowering and things are starting to pack on some girth, and a few trichomes to boot! I am a huge huge huge fan of carbohydrates, sugars, electrolites, and anything sweet!

    Need help with lost phenotype

    So a number of years ago I was gifted a cut of what was labeled Obama Kush, at the time the genetics were unknown and there wasn't ANY information around about it. The plant looked similar to a Bubba or LA Conf in structure (big wide dark leaves) and remained short and bushy like a typical kush...

    Hermie gets a felony for robbing oil production!

    Since RIU seems to be famous for conversations regarding hermanpherdite cannabis plants and at anyone time there may be two or three posts on the first page regarding them. Most times I just shake my head, but occasionally I'll join the fun and offer my oppinion or sometimes just stir the pot...

    Holy trichomes!

    Is this normal? LOL! 9.38 grams of BHO for 30 grams of trim! I wish all of our strains were this greasy! This is the results of the first Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy (the thick brown mollasses like formula) back in the day. I wish I would have boughten a tanker truck full, had I known they were...

    Advanced Veg Techniques

    So last night I claimed in a post that our veg cycle was insane and that it set up my first couple weeks of flowering andthus improved my overall yields. Well a member asked me what I do that's so insanely different and I responded but I figured I would share it again in it's own post. My veg...

    Goodbye Advance Nutrients, hello Aurora Innovations!

    So after many many years with Advance Nutrients I have decided it's time to break up and move on. When AN changed their Bud Candy formula the first time, it broke my heart. When they changed it again my cheating tendancies got the best of me and I turned to John and Cutting Edge for his Sugaree...

    I went and watered this morning and was treated to some frostiness! Everything is starting to cluster up nicely and things are starting to pack on the trichs!

    Now that I have your attention Ill let you in on something I learned many moons ago when I was faced with a really shitty situation and was about to loose my indoor crop. It was the late 90's and I was a senior in high school, my parents had moved a state away and I chose to ride it out and...
