    Terra Preta de los Indios (Fairly long & dry)

    I was watching the National Geographic channel last night, and came across a documentary called "The Lost Villages of the Amazon". Apparently, the Spanish Conquistadores describe seeing large villages with large populations of indigenous Indians, and large "gleaming white" buildings during the...

    To pinch, or not to pinch......(pics)

    My canopy got outta control, and I have about 1/3 of my tops that are significantly taller than the rest. Do I leave them be, or pinch them and lay them over (super-crop)? They are about 2 1/2 weeks into flower. TLP

    Marketing, WTF is up with this?

    Is it just my area, or are people really that stupid as to believe that 'Dro, Hydro, and other such nonsense names are strains? And if it aint purple, it aint shit? It seems to me that if I gave oregano an exotic name and soaked it in purple food coloring, I could sell it for double what dank...

    Fuck me! another one!!!!

    Another male again this morning. I can't believe I missed it yesterday. I just looked at it this morning and knew it was male without magnification. I don't see any open anthers on it, but this one was RIGHT IN FRONT of a circulation fan. How soon after they develop do they start opening and...

    Collecting pollen

    How soon after the balls show up do they start releasing pollen? Can you see if they have released pollen? I found 2 males so far, and put them in a separate room. I want to use the pollen from one of them to fertilize a branch or 2 for future seed. Do I have to resort to a "clean room"...

    Wtf???

    Whats up with the really bleached out spots? It's only on one or two leaves, on 2 different plants. No foliar feeding, not nute burn (to my knowledge) No bugs, not heat, I cant figure it. Surely someone has seen this before. I don't think it's serious, but I could be wrong.

    Thick, or Thin it out?

    Here is what I'm working with. I'm ready to flower them at any time. I have 16 plants in a 7' x 7' area, under 5 400w lights. Here it is: Which would give me a bigger yield, keeping them as they are, or thin them out so that the lower branches get more light? And if I do keep things as...

    A question about the dreaded "Hermie"

    I find my self in the unique position of actually wanting to get a male or at least a hermie. All the seed I have is apparently the result of hermie fertilization, since I have yet to get a male. Since I am on my last seeds from this line, I'd like to get a bunch more to keep this line going...

    Limp Tops

    I have been thinking that I needed to up the Potassium, since there hasn't been as much as I think there should be. (Don't ask WHY I thought that) And my thinking was confirmed when I PMed one of the gurus here. SO. I went looking up potassium deficiency, and exactly what potassium does for the...

    Question for the "Pruning" Gurus

    I hope this is clear enough.... I have a plant that I topped about 3 weeks ago. Everything was going fine until about last week, when it decided to have a growth spurt. I have basically 2 main tops that are v'ed off from where I topped it. The problem is that the growth spurt put those 2 tops...

    Water run-off trays

    I am getting some runoff trays today, and i wanna know if I have to empty them after I water, or will the plants take that excess water up and use it. I watered today, after letting them go just a bit too long. Soil was dry as hell, and the initial water just ran thru, and down the sides...

    Storage question

    I am thinking of storage methods, and I know that bud is OK stored in airtight mason jars, but I am wondering if anyone has taken that a step further and actually "canned" the pot (like one would can fruit) in a low temp pressure cooker to heremetically seal the pot (and odor) in. My rationale...

    dechlorinating water

    I cannot find sodium thiosulfate (by itself) anywhere. All the fish stores sell for chlorine eliminators also include "other" shit like hormones, and a conditioner to help build up the fishes protective slime coat. So, my question is.... Are these products OK to use? Or am I just as well to...

    Reflectors and General lighting question.

    Right now I have these really nice, and rather large, spun polished aluminum Parabolic reflectors. The bulb is situated base up, and is vertical. I have read that the parabolic reflectors are not that efficient. Would I be better off making some "bat wing" type reflectors with the bulbs...

    The Role of "Teas" in the overall scheme

    OK, I figured out that I'm gonna be top dressing my nutes (Guano, bone meal, etc.) Applying every 2 weeks. How does feeding a tea fit in here? Is a Tea supposed to be the primary nute source, or are they to be used in conjunction with topdressing or other nute sources? This grow is going...

    What to do with all this poo?

    I've got a 55 gal drum almost full of Chinchilla poo, and more coming weekly. I separated the poo from the bedding material, and it's just sitting there fermenting (or whatever poo does for entertainment). How can I convert this poo to usable nutes? Vermi-compost? Just let it sit there and perk...

    Guano

    Well, I figured out that this shit is about as soluble as beach sand!!!!! My plants are ready to get their first meal, and true to form I am not ready to be brewing tea. No way to bubble it for a couple of days. I'll correct that Monday. In the meanwhile, I put 6 tablespoons of the guano in 3...

    Name change

    I'm sure this isn't the proper forum to post this, but it didn't fit anywhere else. Is it proper to make a name change? Or is it considered bad form? I signed on using the name I use on another forum (I needed a name quick for this site.) After much contemplation (and many buds), I have come up...
