Hi. Well i am new to this site so please be patient . I have a few questions so anyone that can answer them for me I would greatly appreciate it. I have not gotten stoned since Jr. High (many moons ago). I have had more neck surgeries then I care to admit. I have a chronic acute pain in the occipital region , I have been on EVERY pain med out there and am allergic to most. My hospital had to go thru Administation and AMA to get me IV dermeral just to keep the pain at bay. I have a family and being on narcotics leaves me in a daze and unable to function or drive. I am now scheduled to go into pain mangement and was told that I could get a morphine patch or somethi…

pretty simple to put together i knocked this up in no time got a few tips from chato and he thinks it will work thought i'd thow up some pictures for those wanting to make one top tub is 45L bottom tub is 65L pump is 2000 litres per hour return drain holes/hoses are 19mm and the sprinkler is a (green) 105 litres per hour i might test the red (58lph) with a higher pump im yet to find small 75mm mesh pots all up system like this can be built for $70 suits 1-6 plants

im new to growing m own smoke so i was wondering does anyone have any trick or tips on how to tell the difference between a male and a feamle plant real quick...or just signs thatany idiot could notice so i dotn ruin my whole grow with a male plant pollinating my babies??

Thanks for the welcoming and your inputs. I seriously need help in the growing phase please. There is soooo much info out there and it is hard to narrow down what I shoud/should'nt do. As my topic describes I would like any input on what I should do. I am a first time grower and would very much know what and how I should grow. Reading about ALL the different strains and males/females has me overwhelmed buds vs leaves. The seeds that I have chosen are the following and I have the listed from what I want the most to the least. I was told that Super Nova was the best for medicinal pain, does anyone know if that is true, or if they have tried it and what their thoug…

Hey. So today's the big day for my seedlings. They're around 16 days old, each one with 4 leaves, and I'm transplanting them from their rockwool-filled sprouting cups to my GH Waterfarms. Gonna put them in the center of the drip ring in a little patch of rockwool. Got slight nutrients added, and pH at around 6.3. Only thing I'm worried about is the distance between the little guy's roots and the drip ring. There's about a 1.5 inch (4cm) radius around where I think their roots will go and where the ring actually drips. Is this ok? Seems like a long ways to go.

Just kinked (cinked?) the main stem just then trying to do LST. I have proped it up with a stick to stop it from dying (I hope) but its still bent. Do you think it will recover? do you think I'll need to get a pic up? It is my best plant to, so I hope she's ok...

Yea this is a Shiva Skunk male that i kept to make some homebrand seeds , but now ive found 2 pollen sacs with a single pistal protruding from sac (see photo) ... its the 1st time i seen this ona male , but i should add that the plant has been kept in the bathroom and gets 12hrs of fluro light and an interupted 12hrs dark , so maybe this showing of an odd pistal has been induced by stress ?? now what im wondering is if i use pollen from this male plant will it contain the hermie gene .. what do you reckon ??

mix asprin in water give to female plant approx half way through flowering cycle male pollen will start growing on plant same as hermaphrodite only all the pollen contains only x crhomosones therefore any seeds that may form are genetically female seeds prone to hermaphrodites when grown indoors no problem with self pollination growing outdoors in southeast tas to solve any hermaphrodite problems indoor soak all seeds in seed soak should have no problems like to hear from anyone who may have heard or tried this technique

Ok, before I go out and buy lowryder 2 seeds what are people's opinions on what the smoke is like? I want something that will give me some bud buy the end of dec, early jan. so thats why i want LD2, but I dont want some shit bud. Whats the high like? And how much does one need to smoke before one gets HIGH/STONED? Thanx

Starting a new grow and i will be mixing some coco-peat with fine pearlite in 60/40 ratio. I will flush until water is clear and finish with PH adjusted water. Test PH and EC. The coco-peat is in brick form richgro brand. I plan to use GT or DM coco nutes on the 2 darlings and will be hand watering. Veg will be done under 400W MH and flowered under a HPS. 1) Should I sterilize the mix before transplanting my seedlings in there and how can i do this? 2) Can i start the seeds in a comercial seed raising soil or should i start them in the coco/pearlite mix with some 1/2 strength nutes thrown in? Keep in mind I will be transplanting into the coco/pearlite mix before goi…
