    You need a goal. Here it is.

    This is what you're stiving for newbies. Big lights (1000 watt HPS - can get on line or on ebay) about 20 inces high with fan pointing heat upwards, fairly large bedroom and big enough containers that maybe 3 plants can grow freely (go to home depot). Just potting soil with 3 day watering. Be...

    Can you say, "Shaweeeet"!

    About a week away from 3rd year's harvest. Figured I'd let those who like pics see these bad boys (girls). This will hopefully be near a pound. Maybe more like 12-14 ozs but not sure. Should keep me for another year though. Included in picture: AK-47, White Widow, Northern Lights, Dinafem Haze...

    What the Hell's it Budd'n for?

    My third year and hoping for as good or better success than the first two (which were great) and each year has had it's own special "problem". This time I've got a plant that looks like it's trying to bud and they've only been under the lights 5 weeks and those 5 have been 20 hour light periods...

    Anything good with Runts?

    SilkyRide here,...My third season doing what I love and two for two so far. Confidence is high and I've got my act down. I also understand with all my previous conversations and help obtained through this site (which has really brought me up) that every crop has some runts that just sit there...

    Filtering Question

    I recently had a nice crop of assorted high-level strains and made a little hash from the clippings. I have a little bucket about half full of very dark water that I know has some more good stuff in it. It's what drained through the last bubble bag. Whether you think it's good or not good, I'd...

    Hash Help Needed

    I just harvested a nice little crop of assorted high-potency strains and decided to make a little hash out of the clipping leftovers. I have some bubble bags (5) but there's still a lot of smaller size trichs that slip past the last bag. So I've got this little bucket half full of dark brown...

    My Blue Ribbon

    Here's what I would enter into the state fair this year. It's one of several of my AK buds just harvested. Figured all you bud-lovers would like to see one nearly as big as a ball cap. Can't wait to bite into that pine apple. :-P

    My state fair entry

    I just harvested this year's crop and it's a blue ribbon harvest for sure. I figured all you bud lovers would like to check out a sample. Pictured is my top prize AK 47 bud. The size of a ball cap.

    Save a Male?

    Well, I just discovered my favorite plant is a F...k'n male plant. It was the most beautiful and crazy grow'n bastard and I loved it for 7 weeks. When I finally go 12/12 it's a male. The seeds came from The Attitude so there's a little bad advertising I feel compelled to give out. I only had 8...

    Spider Tops

    Can anyone tell me what's up with the spider tops? As you can see in the picture the plant as a whole is very healthy other than those little growing new leaves that are shriveled up and look more like a spider than a leaf coming out. Could it be heat from the lamp? There's lower sprouts on the...

    Lobster Claw

    Just wanted to ask if it's ok when the leaves look like lobster claws. The plant is huge and beautifully green. It's growing better than all the others accept it's also the only one that's it's big fat leaves come out looking like a bunch of Lobster claws. Dark green, waxy leaves as healthy as I...

    Edges Turning up

    I've got a pretty good crop growing (see pic.) but with a couple plants showing some leaves turning up at the edges. They're a month old now and I recently fixed a nute problem curring a pale color that some showed. They're green and growing well now but just in the last 12 hours I've noticed...

    The yellow plants

    I've got a lot of good info from Rollitup so I always come back if I have questions. I'm on my 2nd grow the first being very successful but both times in the early stages I have some plants that are a strange yellowish color. They seem to be growing as good as the others that are a nice dark...

    Straglers

    I've got a crop of 9 new plants (12 days old) and all but two are doing fine. These two decided to stop growing after their two initial leaves unfolded from sprouting. Is it normal to have a couple straglers that take off later? Are these stunted for some reason? Should I re-seed these two? I...

    Little Bastards

    I've got an assortment of high quality bud started (10 days old) and just want to know what others think about a couple small plants. I've got 9 plants growing under a 1000 W. HPS at 18/6. One plant is a freek'n crazy SOB going nuts with growth and the next 6 plants look about the same. Nice...

    Trying to Avoid Electric "high cost" hours

    I'm going to use a big bad 1000 w HPS lamp when I start my crop at the end of Oct. so I'm trying to get the most out of my light and the least out of my utility bill. My electric company has it's "high cost" hours from 5 - 9 both at AM and PM starting in Nov. That's 8 hours/day I'm going to try...

    Flowering

    What does "Autoflowering" mean when deciding to purchase seeds? I know what photoperiod means but doesn't every type of plant need the lights to go to 12 hours or less to make them bud?

    100 watts vs 600

    Last year I used a 1000 w HPS lamp with very nice results. This year I was thinking about a lower watt lamp to reduce heat and power usage. What can I expect with a lower watt outfit? Will there be less THC production? Will the plants still produce large buds. With, let's say a 600 watt lamp...

    Low Watt vs High

    Last winter I used a 1000 w HPS lamp with great results. This year I was thinking about reducing heat and power with a lower watt bulb outfit. Just what am I going to expect with a lower watt bulb,..say 600 - 750 watts?

    Need Seed Suggestions

    Need some suggestions for my next seed purchases. I'd like to grow maybe three different strains together indoors. I'm looking for whatever would work well growing together, similar flowering schedules and all around good shit. Anyone have some good results with different strains growing side by...
