Well I should be gettin a digicam in a few days but I just couldn't wait to post this...I'm too pissed off. My very first grow...about a month and a half of growing (15 days into flowering) and I'm pretty sure they're males. When I get my cam I'll post actual pics of em but I got this pic from some site and this is exactly what they look like. Little tiny balls

We've probably all 'jagged' a ratio something like 7,8 or 9 out of 10 females from a particular batch of 10 seeds at any one time. My question is; How often does the opposite occur to everyone ? That is, how often do you bum out and get a shitload of males instead ? Obviously the answer should be, just as often, but I'd like to see if any kind of statistical trend emerges.

i missed my watering this morning and decided i'd water late in the afternoon. once getting there, i noticed that the water in the holding tank was very hot . too hot to keep my hand in there for more than 10 secs or so. so i decided to postpone until early tomorrow. would anyone have any idea a max sort of temp range for water? there have been times in the past when i haven't been game to water with even luke warm water in fear of causing damage to the plants. do you think i was being over cautious and could have watered. i have always been curious about that. thanks guys wade

I spotted this at the local smutshop this morning for the low low price of $8.50 so I picked it up for light reading material. It's got a bright yellow light cardboard cover and is 48 pages long. It's written by "D. R. Wakefield" and revised in 1986. http://www.wellcoolstuff.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/Taustraliawakefield.jpg It's written informally and covers a broad range of doping issues separated into chapters. It has diagrammes and drawings throughout including some of common ailments (like wilting and over fertilising) and male and female plants. I bought it cause it was the INDOOR guide and has the HID/Fluorescent lighting thing splashed on the front cove…

Heya, I've had a 400w closet system going for a few weeks now and no problems so far but the 12v transformer which runs 2x12v 12cm fans gets pretty hot. I have the fans wired up in parallel, one's an exhaust connected to ducting and the other is for circulation. There appears to be sufficient airflow coming in so I don't think the fans are being stressed. It's on/off for 12 hours. Should it be running so hot? how can I work out whether the transformer is rated high enough? I believe it's 500ma. Sorry for all the questions, any help would be appreciated. thanks mr_magoo.

I am a beginner indoor grower. I just started growing my first set of 4 plants. I grew them in my room and they got to be about 4 feet tall and my step father decided that he would kill them on me. It was very depressing. Is there any way to get the same results from an indoor plant outdoor? I was growing a strand of Northern Lights, but as i understand its an indoor strand. but the money i spent on it went down the drain. Also it took me a longer amount of time then the usual plant takes to grow. now i know that there are many professional growers here so could you please give me some pointers? It would be very helpful. Thank you.

I recently aquired 5 seeds and have been trying to germinate them using the paper towel method. I found a tupperware container, put 2 layers of paper towel on the bottom of it and soaked it. I then spead the 5 seeds evenly over the paper towel and placed a wet piece of paper towel over them. Then sealed the container and placed on top of my dvd drive, which is nice and warm. It's been about a day and a half now, and nothing noticeable is happening.....how long does this method usually take? Just worried that I may have 5 dud seeds.... Cheers

Well i posted this first in Indoor lighting but after a few days, 8 views and no replies i am going to post here in hope of an answer. If you have seedlings/clones on 24/24(fluros), what is the best way to change the light cycle to be able to put them outdoors? Will i freak them out putting them straight outdoors or should i gradually reduce light hours and then put them out? Advice appreciated....

Now, it is covered with buds. Wxcuse my ignorance but is this usual? I have attached a pic but it is a bit blurry

Oh shit. They showed up fast. Day 30 in 12/12. Three open flowers. 18 other plants. Some of these plants are behind the others in the flower cycly by one to two weeks. So, we killed the hermie. We are wondering how long it usually takes the seeds to show up in the female buds. I don't know how many seeds I'll get. The open flowers were on the bottom of the plant and not adjacent to other flowers, but still, they were open. No light leaks, but this plant did have a bad nute lockout problem in veg. Can three flowers "ruin" a crop? I am thinking doom and gloom. My wife is a bit more optomistic. Is there a way to get that pollen out of the room? Will The plant…
