Big bud is a well known commercial strain, is anyone growing it at the moment and are the buds really as big as they say ?

My seedlings are just sprouting their third set of leaves, do you think they are ready to put into hydro or still a bit young ?? There is no branching yet.

Hi all, I'm lookin at settin up a *small* time grow, say 2 plants tops, and am aiming at doing it hydro style. I'd like to be able to have one mature plant in veg, take a clone from that, flower the mature plant whist the clone is vegging, once clone is mature, take another clone and flower the mature plant (1st clone), rinse and repeat (make sense?). Have plenty of room, it's about 2x3m and about 7 foot high, I don't think that'll be an issue. But have some other questions I'm hopin u guys/gals can help with. 1st question, to satisfy my better half, i've decided to grow some other plants, veggies etc. As stated above, i wanna go hydro, i think i can get away with…

I was told by more than a few folks that I should (or may want to) trim off the very top new growth from my plants, which are currently about 12-15 inches tall. The theory behind this being that the plant will "bush out" and produce more (albeit smaller) buds as opposed to a single giant cola. Should I be running for the scissors? Also, how do I know when my plants are mature and I can begin cloning and reducing the light cycle to 12 hours to start budding? And finally, where the h*ll do I modify my user profile so I can include a footer and other spam? -fishee http://www.bluefishradio.com http://www.twofishmedia.com

Hi guys, I have been looking at buy buying a quantumponics system for some time now - especially when a friend of mine keeps raving about it - but i thought i would check if anybody hear has had any experience with them. i have been looking at http://www.quantumponics.com.au and they have some pretty big claims. they don't have pictures of our kind of shit either and when i emailed them asking for info about marijuana they ignored it. but from what i've gathered it should do good. what do you think? Hoping you can help Dorothy

Hey all, Ive seen these aqua spike cone things where you stab them into the ground and put a bottle of water upside down ontop of it, the water leaks through the small holes in the cone under the surface... Do they work? Better alternatives? high_hoper

Hey, my afghani#1 are 9 days into flowering, Is it ok to remove fan leaves to allow light for the lower parts of the plant? due to me putting 5 plants in my grow box, light is not penetrating below the top canopy. thanks for the help.

Hi(gh)...I recently gathered up the nerve to convert a 240 gallon fish tank into a hydroponics system, and I've got a few questions. My system is a 240 gallon fish tank with a surface-skimming overflow and 20 gallon sump. The water recirculates at approx. 800 gallons per hour. My seedlings are in styrofoam cups filled halfway with "filter floss", topped-off with straight vermiculite. The cups have holes cut in the bottom (which is submerged) and the cups float on another piece of flat styrofoam (with holes to accomodate the cups and allow their bases to be submerged). I'm currently using just one side of the tank, a 4-foot x 2-foot section, and am using 3 quartz ha…

what is the best utencil for cutting off leaves, buds.....etc? Does it make any difference to the plant? high_hoper
