Going to try the AK 47 strain and would be grateful for any advice by someone who has grown this strain eg. what ec did you use. what ph is best. how much pk did you use/how often. Did you use additives? Meanwhile, i nervously wait for the seeds. Cheers.

this is my first time to grow a plant and i dont know where to start. i have a few questions that i hope you guys can help me. im planning to start at 2 seeds first and ill be planting it indoors. is it alright if it doesnt get direct sunlight that much? im living on an apartment and my windows are facing like north east so i dont get direct sunlight that much but my ventilation will be good enough for he plant to breath since im living on the 2nd floor and i can open the windows 24hrs. will there be any problem during the flowering stage? and why do most of the topics that i read that they discard males? does that mean they throw it or is it still "smokable"? i understan…

hey guys and girls, another question - i've asked if it is at all possible to decrease the period it takes for any particular strain to flower. i was advised that it was strain dependent, however i've heard otherwise. i grow in 10% perlite and 90%coco - the strain i'm growing is white widow by dutch passion and it recommends an 8 week flowering time. mine are in theie 9th week and look like they have another week left. i was wondering if any of these factors below can increase flowering speed: The method of growing - eg. if i moved from coco to clay balls 100% hydro setup (because they are getting more frequent watering (and more oxygen) instead of once every 24 hrs) …

Hi people ... newbie here (I have had some experience in hydro a while ago) I have read an awful lot of topics about aeroponics here and on other sites. (it's taken me 2 weeks to read up ) I still have a couple of questions so far, and maybe more later on 1. Are the sprayers run on 30 sec on and 3 minutes off, or 1 minute on and 5 minutes off.. I have seen both .. is there a difference? 2. Once the plant is switched to 12/12 for flowering, do you leave the sprayer cycle on the same as above, or turn them off for the dark period .. or something else ?? 3. Do you need an airstone in the reservoir to aerate the nutrient solution or with this system is it unn…

Ok so ive been reading about this scrog method and iam keen to have a go at it. Have read varying data on the height placement of the screen from 200mm to 500mm. Is there a specific height for the screen ? what height do you use ? Room size 1m x 1.9 x 1.7high, if that matters in the equation. cheers

Hi guy's, What are your thoughts and views on people putting other drugs such as amphetamines/herion etc into their grows. Me personally think it is a crock of shit and here's why (taken from another post....saves me retyping): Why would you inject amphetamines into a growing plant? Wouldn't the injection cause necrosis of the cells at the injection site due to its' unnatural composition' (PH etc)? Please explain how the plant would metabolise the amphetamine and convert the active ingredients into the plant structure? Explain also how amphetamines would not destroy root zone microbiological (and other cellular divisions) activity which is crucial for plant li…

OK , I'm stepping up with the times and going to do a DWC grow . What water Temp ? What EC , PPM etc ? Half strength or full? What PH ? I'll be using what I have here , net pots , perlite ( I know clay balls are better ) . Dutch Fest nutes . Should the pots touch the water when I first start as the clones dont have roots hanging out the bottom of the pots yet ? I am excited at this , as I hear the growth rate is quick/quicker than what I am doing now , just Perlite pots watered by hand every couple of days sitting in kitty litter trays . Are the yields bigger/better ? Any help/advice much appreciated Cheers CG

I'm getting a DR100 grow tent (100 x 100 x 200cm) for my next grow and wondered what method I should use for best results? I've been using autopots in a wardrobe up until now, but it's time for a change and am planning a SCROG with my 400w HPS. I have thought about using the NFT grow tanks, but the smallest is the NFT 205 which is 71cm x 40cm which in a room of 100 x 100 is a lot of wasted space. The next size up is the NFT 424 at 112cm x 50cm which is too big. So I wondered what would be the best method for a SCROG in a room 100 x 100cm and how many plant I should use?

Hey everyone, its been about a week since my last post and just wanted to keep you updated on my first grow. Both plants are coming along really well and look very promising. I would expect at least another 2-3 weeks before I transplant them into a "bigger" pot (at least a 3-4 gallon pot would work right?). Here is my question, if the planter is big enough, would it be ok to put two plants in it at the same time? Or should i use two different planters? this is my biggest concern because of the lack of room. Thanks for your time guys.

Hi all. So i've previously done both veg and flower under the same HPS. This time at the start of flower I added 2x 24w 6400k daylight bulbs. They are relatively weak and more there to use while the HPS is off during maintenance time however have shown me a quite useful result. The crowns which surround each of the CFLs on opposite sides of my current tent all have a quite visible increase in resin production. The lights are hardly a match for the crowns directly under the HPS bulb - so i'm led to believe this is a phenomena associated with the combining of spectrums. I have not seen much discussed on this topic before, hoping someone has had similar experiences and…

Ok let me just say that i have the basics down. I have my seeds and i Germinated 2 of them. It took about 3-4 days to germinate but it went fine. For starters, i put both seeds both in two Solo cups with moist soil and been watering them only when the soil gets dry. One plant sprouted, its been 4 days and it is now about 4-5 inches tall in the cup and only has 4 tiny leaves at the top. So, it doesnt look right to me because its too tall and has very little leaves. Any Idea what's wrong?
