    What industry(s) (if any) lobby against marijuana law reform?

    I'm a supporter of total legalization of all drugs, even the very harmful and addictive ones. Libertarian Judge James P. Gray helped me form this position... but I was under the impression that just like many of America's political representatives are bought and paid for by the health care...

    t5ho lighting costs

    Can anyone tell me what a good price to pay for some t5 high output fixtures would be??? Everywhere I look, it seems the 48" 54 watt x 2 fixtures (108 watts total, 2x 4 foot bulbs) are like $90++ and the 2 bulb 28" & 36" that run at like 24w are $60ish... Am I just looking at the wrong places...

    How does this T5 lamp look

    High Tech Garden Supply Before anyone advises me to go out and get a 600w HPS instead, please note I only want to grow TWO plants, and am limited in both budget and space. 2x 2foot T5 bulbs w/ areflector just barely small enough (in width/length) to fit in the spot I plan to put it in. I have...

    Willow bark extract

    I know that willow bark is one example of many sources (organic and inorganic) of certain growth-hormones that promote root growth and can be used for cloning, but how do these hormones affect a plant that either started from seed or was cloned but had already build an extensive root system...

    stem/trunk size

    is the width/strength of the trunk @ the base a good indicator of a strong/healthy plant that would likely put out a high yield? Since they are always trying to stand up straight, does LSTing them give them a workout like constant wind does and cause the trunk to get thicker? I would imagine...

    growing outdoors in shade

    I'm well aware that the less a plant receives light the less it can grow and the less it will yield, but has anyone grown in an almost totally shaded area? If you have, how did it turn out? I'm looking at growing in a forested area with a dense canopy that doesn't let a lot of light through...

    early veg in heavy rain?

    well I know lots of rain can be really bad towards the end of the season, causing bud rot - but what about with seedlings / young plants, 2-5 weeks old? How would they be affected by large amounts of rain? I'm thinking about moving one of my bigger ones out very soon, but last night I got...

    ...when a plant dies

    If a small plant (2 pairs of trueleaves, about 5cm tall) around 3 weeks old died (of overwatering or just about anything else) would it fall over? Or could it continue to stand and just sort of dry out and wither away? I know most people would cull out a plant that was in such harsh shape but...

    potting idea

    well, I heard that a long deep root system is ideal if you want a healthy plant - something like the pots on this website (refer to image below) http://www.stuewe.com/images/treepots_lg.jpg Anway... here's my idea to mimic the small ones with a design that costs $0, that can transplanted...

    germination question

    Was wondering if there's such a thing as letting seeds soak or sit in moist paper towel for too long, and how long is too long if there is.... Would anything be wrong with leaving seeds in moist paper towel for a full week or more in darkness before planting them? Do they die if left too long...

    powerless automated watering

    so I'm thinking of something that I can get that utilizes gravity to very slowly feed outdoor plants while I'm not around... Jorge C.'s grow dvd suggests just punching a hole in a watering tank but I don't mind spending a couple bucks and I'd hate to think that things watering away only to find...

    dead sprout?

    no pics so I'll describe it as good as I can. I started germinating about 4 days ago. I've been watering enough to keep the soil moist (about 2 very light waterings a day), I put the seed tail-down about 2cm into the dirt inside a very small Jiffy Pot. One sprout has emerged in a short period...

    (Outdoor, 1st ever grow) Northernberry

    so I just got 11 northernberry seeds in the mail from Peak Seeds - northernberry is what peak seeds calls Northern Lights #5 x Blueberry. I haven't got any experience growing but I've spent a lot of time on various forums and watched a few grow movies and most of all have done a lot of reading...
