i have a plant and it's ready for harvesting. sich is i got no smoko atm and would love to have a smoke tonight. what's a quick way to dry the buds out without losing and good stuff

i want to grow indoor also under a controlled conditions and ive seen plenty of nutes out there but i was wondering whats the best to feed the plants and on what basis.

im planning to start growing indoors as well as outdoors and i want to know what the best fertilizer is. any help is great.

At the moment i think i'm using a NFT system (i'll explain the system quickly so you know what it is) there's a 50 letre res. pump in res going upto 4" pvc which is in a U shape. 8 pots in total, Air stone under each pot. what is this called? and are there any other easier setups to go for? i've noticed at hydro shops they have similiar setups but instead of a round grow bed (the 4"pvc pipe) they are using a flat type gutter for the grow bed and water just trickels along the bottom. no need for air cuz there is no water depth so there's plenty or air on the roots. Or, do i just get buckets, fill em up with dirt and wack em under lights and just hand water em whenever? …

What do you guys think is the best strain for indoors? Well what have you grown that you realy liked more than others?...Peace

I was over at overgrow reading about this home made smoke filter. The filter consists of a 600ml plastic drink bottle with the bottom removed. The bottle is stuffed with dryer sheets or bounce sheets which you can purchase from the supermarket in America. The bottle is then put inside a sock. The smoke is then exhaled into the narrow end of the bottle and filtered through the dryer sheets and comes out through the sock clean. My question is what the hell are dryer sheets. Does anyone have any idea what the Australian equivalent is or what could be used instead. Has anyone tried making one of these?

I'm curious if anyone knows what is the genetic probability of getting male plants is all things being equal. I mean one male plant could pollinate numerous female plants, so there would be no reason in nature that there would need to be a 50/50 balance. I have 6 plants in 2 cupboards. One plant is noticeably taller & skinnier with less branching and longer node spacing. So I am guessing (and hoping) this is the only male.

Been having trouble with my plants, not growing that well and getting unhealthy/browning leaves. Anyway, chatting to sols about a week ago and he suggested osmocote because slow releasing ferts are good in soil mixes. He also suggested adding a product called Trace Elements, which apparently has every essential element required for healthy plant growth. In the supermarket the other day I spotted some osmocote and it said it included Trace Elements. So I added a couple of handfulls to each pot and mixed it into the top inch or so of soil and gave them all a good watering. This was a couple of days ago and I can already see a big improvement. The plants have gone on …

hey ive just heard about a chemical spray that can be applied to young plants, so the majority are females. Has anyone heard of this before and if so are there any safety hazards...thanks

I've heard that if you put your plants in a fridge and turn it right down low the plants will think it is winter and start budding. Is this true and what would be the best light brghtness or wattage. or could you just put them in the fridge overnight and bring them out in the sun during the day.
