How do you get them ? I just grow in perlite and never get get those really hard buds that you get when you buy . Does that PK 13/14 stuff do it ? Or is is just the variety ? Dont get me wrong ,, my buds get you real stoned etc ,, but they lack weight and the solid appearance of the commercially grown stuff .

not sure where i read it or even if i imagend it but i think i read that a plant shows its sex breifly at the 3rd node? Im sprouting sum up soon & just dont want to dig holes for things im just gonna rip up early. I plan on keeping 1 male of each strain well away from the fems so it would be good to know whats what but being outside i dont have the luxury of playing with the sun. If there is no way of telling the sex so early then at what stage in flowering does the male start to release pollen? If i can catch the male before it releases pollen then i can harvest it & controll what i want seeded.

i am about 4 weeks into the flowering stage and i'm worried i'm doing sumthin wrong the bud on the crowns or at the top are only about 3-5 cm. since turning the light it has grown dramatically towards the lights. have had to make heaps of changes to cupboard to get away from light. the strain is indica i think. i using 12-12 light hrs and using ducthfest hydro bloom and only mixing to wat is says on the bottle, have been looking at pics on the net and mine seems to be incredibly slow to sum i've seen for 4 weeks along any help or recomendations would be greatly appreciated

I have been reading here about bud rot & how in some cases people loose a lot of what they love. Now to my understanding you get but rot when there is too much moisture in the bud which for outdoors is after a rain. Well how would one go about using a automotive/solvent type pressure pump bottle (the one's you pump the plunger to make pressure so liquid sprays out & are normally red & white) to just blow air onto the bud & blow that pesky water away? Just a thought as they are compact, portable & cheap. I may even look to see what kind of compressed air bottles are around as a small 1 could do the job with a small air attachment.

Hello everyone, i'm still waiting on those seeds and I found a very large cardboard box in my attic that is perfect (.75mx.75mx2m). I will be planting 5 of my seeds so hopefully I can get 2 females out of that. The box already has metal poles that go across the box half way up and at the top, so I will be able to hold my light from them. My main concern is will it be a big fire hazard? Can i get a fireproof blanket and toss it on the box? Is there anything that I can spray the box with that will make it fireproof? The box will make my grow 10x more stealthier. Thanks everyone!

Hi people, its been awhile since iv posted,hows everyone? Iv been talking to my pen pal in the Netherlands and last year he was growing the bubblelicius strain ( i think 2 time winner for indica cup) and it was the bomb,he and everyone that smoked it said it was amazing compared to the mostly commercial sativas that go around. Anyway, during one of his grows he got lazy and failed to take clones at the right time and that generation sadly died off.. After that he decided to get Belladonna Strain (Skunk Sativa) and while the smoke has been good for him during his few grows of that strain, its defenetly no indica, it is strong-ish but lacks the couch lock and is just mor…

I've changed to advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow 2 part and am running Canna Rhizo, Zym, SilicaMagic & Superthrive with it. I get a cloudy moment in the res when I add the Rhizo and the performance of the nutes is a little slow to say the least. I am putting the ingredients in the res in the following order - Silica, Grow A+B, Zym, Rhizo then ST. Is there any disadvantages people know of if you combine AN's Sensi with Canna additives? Jimbo

i have 2 plants still alive, both in same conditins(autopots joined), one is growing well 3rd set of leaves the other 1 has grown 2nd but they now look bit crispy and less green. It has grown slower the nutes were .08 EC 560 ppm. I just upgraded to 1 EC 2day. they under 100w 6400k fluro. I was gonna putem under 400w hps tommrw but 1 aint lookin so good. They been veg now for about 3 weeks from seed (since they sprouted been 3 weeks). According to nutes, i should have been on 1.14 ec from week 1 but i came in slowely. Any advice? Maybe it needs stronger nutes?? One growing very well tho, got me fuked.
