Wondering if a very simple soil recipe will work. Yeah I don't want to add greensand, kelp, fish emulsion, I just want to use Top Soil, Peat Moss, Compost. I'll use vermi-compost tea to water and age the mix before planting. If this is a really bad idea, please explain, I am looking for reasons...

Want to do a SOG but only have room for one grow, it would be very difficult to keep one area on 12/12 for the mother, and another 20/4 for the SOG. I'm starting from seed then will need to sex them and by then they should be ready for SOG transplant, by harvesting a female mother. Am I missing...

one gallon milk jugs 24 hour old water vermicompost air pump heater

I use some veggies but mostly my espresso grounds and pulverized egg shells for bedding. Should I be concerned about the use of the vermicompost I generate ie too acidic or too much calcium?

I wanna see what others are doing with mulch on their indoor soil grows? I have a shredder and can use shredded paper. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it sooner but anything I've ever mulched grows like gang busters. It is all part of the organic realm, optimizing surface soil holding...

Going to remove male plant, only one plant of the 5 tomorrow, from my SCROG. We'll see how it goes. I am thinking I will find the main stem cut it wait a couple hours and pull all the wilted stem branches. In the future I may buy fem seeds. I know using nonfem seeds is not ideal...

My first batch of vermicompost may be ready to harvest soon. Would anyone help either guide me to a site or share how to mix the vermicompost. I most likely will use a 3 gallon pot indoors, and have a good qty of perlite already. I have noticed the vermicompost is a bit like mud. Mixed some with...

Okay, I got seeds from my White Widow (WW), I took F1 WW Male and Female, the off-spring won't be true to WW type. I germinated 5 and they are about 5 inches tall with no 5 leafers yet, less conspicous so far. I am thinking where can I plant these in the big city and burbs? A foreclosed overgown...

I'm in a big midwestern city and am hoping to grow outa doors guerilla style but need pointers. How do you pick a good site then carry the soil ammendments then plant the plant, then tend it, then watch for the harvest trichomes without raising suspicion? I was going to plant in a...

I'm a chili-head but have given up the extreme heat due to stomach problems. Currently I have plans to grow some Jalapeno "Senorita's" which are down at 300 to 500 scoville units. I tried the Jalapeno "TAM" but the Jalapeno's were still quiet hot, which I am told may be due to my climate, and...

A couple years ago a huge male plant grew in my back yard, I harvested the woody stem and let it dry. Later that summer I used it in my grill to add smoked flavor to the leg of lamb I was cooking on the grill. The flavor of MJ was definiterly imparted in the flavor of the meat! Very sweet and mj...

I want to grow outdoors but know that in my environment it is probably Ok till the fall when a lot of the other veg browns and dies. There are lots of eyes and deer too, which sucks cause they love to munch on the MJ I hear. Anyone have a favorite strains that will finish early, I think...

OK, I'm in the market for a good Grow Book. A soil grow centered book would be nice as although not a requirement. I grow indoor but outdoor would be cool too. My library doesn't seem to carry, so I may try the interlibrary loan. But I'll try : ), yeah I know but wtf, legalize it.

I just harvested seeds after storing pollen forone year. Since all sorts of contrary information can be found on the net, I am relieved that this worked. I believe there was a source that mentioned pollen could be stored in this fashion "indefinitely". Many others said it couldn't be done or...
