Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know that the bean auctions to help Brakeman's family (some of you know him as ScooterTrash, others as Prodigal Son if you're old enough) are up and running at BeanBid.com. As many of you have donated beans or were his friends, I wanted to make sure you all...

Hi there. I was just reading through some threads, saw your name, thought I would say hey. You can find me at a couple of places. Firestaxseeds.com or Marijuana-Culture.com Hope all is well. (Man, it's been forever since I logged in here, kitten in my avatar is 3 years old now, lol)

4 days is not a couple of weeks. Stop being so impatient.

I get a 1/2 oz off one branch under a 400hps. If autos give that low of a yield why grow them at all?

Forgot to mention I did find a lightly traveled site called Marijuan Form, some others from MP are there, but it's very basic, hard to load pics, but lightly traveled. If we have to set up a new base camp it may be an option. Look for me there if you need me.

Hi, Melvan here. I just tried to pop on to mp and it started to load, but just basic html and no links, can't log in or anything. I think they must be replacing the actual server if we're getting something. I say keep checking, I think it will be back. I'm ready to go home, these other forums...

Whatever. I give up on this site, 20 years of growing and I have never seen such horrible advice offered to people. We've got people here telling you to cook your plants, in another thread you have someone telling a newbie to do their gardening during the 12 off, in the other I saw people...

If there's any green, fleshy, no yellow, growth anywhere just take some cuttings and start new plants. Why do you have to go looking for them, they're sitting right there in front of you. While you're waiting for the cuttings to root you can continue to try to correct your current issues, but...

Why is it so hard to accept that the obvious answer to "yellowing of new growth on the top" is that your 600w hps is only 8" from the top of the plants?

Seeds out of medical grade smoke? I see hermies in your future. Keep a close look out for those nanners. If it is truly medical grade and there were just few seeds it's a good possibility that the weed came from a hermied plant. You may be alright, you never know what's going to happen when you...

No, 3-5 times per minute is optimal, most people can only manage one or two. I have a CO2 reader in my room, it's reading changes on average 4 times per minute as my exhaust pulls out the co2 and pulls in fresh air with o2.

New growth yellowing on the top, sounds like leaf bleaching from keeping a 600w 8" away from the plants. Move the light up.

No, he's not fine. Those temps are too low. Optimal temp for marijuana is 78-81 degrees with 45-55% humidity. A 600w hps should not be 8" close to a flowering plant, this is an auto, it's budding. You're only getting away with 6" if your bulb is old and putting out less radiation. I've been...

They will if he tops them.

Before you buy the Pro-Mix you need to get the grow area set up properly, adjusted to maintain its temp and ventilation. You want that space as close to optimal as possible before you put a plant in it. The last thing you want to do is deal with construction and environmental issues after you...
