This is some kind of disease or pest, but I'm not sure what. The plant that has it worst was kind of in a "dead zone" circulation wise, which makes me think fungus or something. I searched all over with 16X loupe -- nothing moving. The damage is on the veins, never in between. Could even be...

The new games link on RIU keeps popping up unsolicited. And it's crashing my browser. Anyone else getting this? I'll be gone from RIU for good if this keeps up. Got enough problems without creating hard drive / registry issues on my PC.

Hey, all... This isn't really "advanced cultivation", but I figure one might need a few grows under the belt to see what I'm seeing ... amber trichs popping at 21 days post-12/12. It's Nirvana bubblelicious, vegged four weeks 18/6 under 400W - the ambers showed as soon as trichs showed. Couldn't...

I posted this in someone else's thread, then thought I'd share it more generally. Hope it helps you somehow. I thought I'd share a few things with people; things I think I've learned over the last grow-and-a-half, really. This isn't everything I've learned, but it's a start. This advice is...

5.7 Stone-fact. That's the natural stochiometric balance of water and CO2, which is mildly acidic. Atmospheric pollutants cause many rainfalls to be more acidic than that, but almost never more basic. Go ahead... discuss.

Okay team, tis the season south of the Mason-Dixon line for indoor, unless you like getting eaten out of house and home by AC bills.. Set up six pots this weekend - 1 inch of sand in the bottom for drainage. Then filled with MG standard potting soil, and mixed in 2tbs of lime per gallon (2 gal...

Hey, RIU'ers.. I am all read-up on proper harvest and curing and trust me, 98+% or more of my material is going thru just that.. so no lectures on my heresy, please. But, for many reasons, most of us like to engage in a little early sampling. But, personally, I think the quick-dry methods...

Well, a lot of RIU'ers have put up with my trials and lengthy spiels over the months, so it's only fair to throw a party for you all in appreciation. So, put on your funny hat and grab your sword made of folded newspaper, and lets make a trim club.. Okay, first I need a beer and a blast off...

Hey, Folks.. My first grow is coming to a head, both literally and figuratively. From everything I've read, I've gotten the impression that the tops of the plants reach harvest maturity first (wrong?). But, in one of yesterdays' 3x daily trichome surveys (can't help it), I found some lower...

Hey, Folks... Help a m'fer out here...:o Here's the rundown: vegged 4 weeks, no issues 'cept radical growth under limited light range (shoulda vegged 3wks max), MG "3-month" soil, started adding Foxfarm GB (6-4-4) 3tsp/gal at 4 weeks every other watering; switched to TB (2-8-6) 3tsp/gal...

I'm curious to the experience of advanced growers with foliar feeding. Have you conducted, or can you link me to any controlled work that shows a benefit to this? I'm a first-time MJ grower, but have been gardening for decades and have a 13-year career in botany, as in field identification...

Hey, Peeps.. Put my babes on 12/12 about 10 days ago and the sorting is mostly done. Had four drop out male, 3 are clearly female, and I have one left that hasn't shown yet, but I'm dead-certain I saw a female preflower on her yesterday.. just can't relocate it (my eyes can only take so much...

Hey, Folks.. On my first grow; didn't really think about the odor thing too much when I started. I have my plants in a 10x10 spare bedroom, 4 weeks old. Whoa, daddy!! It really reeks in there, and it's spilling out into the rest of the house. Most frightening, I swear I can catch a whiff of...

Hey, Folks.. I've got a couple of plants in soil that look like they're in the beginning of low pH stress. I'll be drenching them tomorrow; I'll meter it then to be sure. Question is: does anyone have some rules of thumb for using regular commercial lime for potted plants? The directions are...

I live in a southern US coastal area with long hot and humid summers. I'd love to hear about any successful schemes people have used in this general area, especially about seasonal timing, managing heat stress, and indoor starts / outdoor transplants. It seems straightforward to me -- plant in...

Hey, All.. Got some bubblegums at about 3 weeks (8 total; 3 look a little rough). The 5 good ones have 4-5 sets of leaves and side branches about an inch long. The overall plant height is about six inches. They've really bushed up over the last week. I really just want to grow my personal...

For what it's worth, I just thought I'd post a good experience I had with Buy Dutch Seeds, an Amsterdam seed bank. I've just done one order, but top flight quick and discrete service. Good prices, with regular specials. I've germ'ed 2 of the 10 Bubblelicious I bought -- popped right out and...

Hey, all.. I've got eight plants going about 2.5 weeks old. They were going gonzo then, all of a sudden, 3 of the 8 stopped growing and started rolling their leaves under. The leaves themselves are very dark; the tops still look "ready to go", like they're waiting for the remedy. The healthy...

Hi, All... what a fun site. I'm so stoked on this growing thing I can hardly think about anything else. I just started growing about 10 days ago for the first time. I planted a few seeds of schwag, and a couple of bubblegum, figuring I'm probably going to screw up the first time, so don't blow...
