Hello - I'm not only a first-timer here, but also a first-time grower. I'm growing a couple of plants outdoors in the sun, in large pots. They're doing really well, so far. (10 weeks old) I have a problem with nosey neighbours, however, and wondered about pruning the plants to keep them low. Could someone please give me some advice on how and when and where to prune my "babies"? Many thanks in anticipation, Oz1

Hello All! This is my first post on this site and I just want to start out by saying I am proud to be a member of this greatly established community and hope I can learn and share as much information as possible with yall. A few months back I was charged with a DUI, therefore I am under supervised probation with random drug screenings every few months (Bastards!). So in the meantime while I wait to smoke again, I have decided It would be enlightening to grow my own crop, so when I can enjoy my smoke again, I will know the quality, and also not have to be ripped off by money hungry pot dealers (no offense, I know everyone has to make a buck) I think I have a pretty goo…

Hi new here. I got an impossible to root strain (big bud). I have had success in the past, but it is hit or miss. I follow the std protocol for mister type hydro cloning, including pH control (5 to 6), changing the water frequently, using clonex, humidity (65-75%), water temp (74 F), moderate light, trimming clones on the mom the day before taking the cutting, etc. And everything is real clean, sterilized and rinsed thoroughly. However, they are so damn sloooooow to root, taking up to two weeks to show roors even when it works. Also, lately, after about a week, the leaves of the clones have been turning a silver grey color and then look like they are rotting becua…

so i guess this may sound quite silly, but id like some feedback on exactly HOW silly a friend and i want to get seeds, we are both in situations where we dont want to have it sent to our addresses and the idea of throwing a 'false' letterbox up on a nearby street has come up, seems likely a good idea, but does this sound preposterous to anyone here ? are we breaking some full on laws that anyone knows of ? is it worse to put up a fake letterbox, than to receive seeds in the first place ? has anyone tried this before ? we are thinking a unit complex or something similar want to avoid, po-boxes, having it mailed directly to us and dont know anyone else who we could …

LED Lights

Hi guys , I'm just wondering if anyone has used LED lighting for their grow, and if so, how it went. I've seen a light which the manufacturers say is equivalent to 400-600wats, but which puts out only a small amount of heat, and costs 50-80% less to run then the HPS or MH lights. It sounds good, but I haven't really heard much about their advantages in terms of flowering and yield. So if anyone can en'lighten' me , I'd be grateful. Peace to everyone

Oh hai all. Apologies if this has already come up. I understand most timers dont allow this but has any experimentation been done with non 24 hour grow cycles. Anybody with personal experience or know of documentation of such an experiment on the www MaccaSpesh, the best weed you'll never smoke.

So i just read a thread before which involved a vertical scrog, thinking to myself "there's no point having the light above, you would need it on the side of the plant". Well it got me thinking and this is what sprang to mind, since i am useless with microsoft paint i am going to try and explain, though i'm not much better at the latter either. here's the plan... this is for one plant but can be applied to up to 4 plants i would say, possibly more for larger wattage lights. you would need a lazy susan, remember those spinning plates at home a small sized motor that could run off 5v or so. simple idea really, you would sit the pot on top of the lazy susan. You would…

hi all I came across this on WikiPedia: "In 1943, Johannes "The Moobze" van Overbeek discovered that coconut milk actively encourages plant growth. This was later discovered to be due to a number of factors, but predominantly the existence in the milk of a cytokinin known as zeatin.[4] The addition of 10% coconut milk to the substrate in which wheat is grown has shown substantial improvements in yield." I could not find much else on the web about adding coconut milk to your plants, except the fact that 10% - 15% milk (not the cream) should be used. Has anyone tried this?
