Mate of mine told me if you take your plants and place the roots on a mango (or something like that) in soil, the weed will have a mango flavour (or whatever fruit you use) He swears it's true, but for the life of me I can't imagine why that would work... anyone know anything?

I'm interested in some suggestions in regards to flushing my WR, I have had the nutes at 1.5 - 1.6 for nearly two weeks now and I am due for a res change. I've read a few differing opinions on flushing between res's and am not sure whether to flush at all, flush with a low EC level nute batch or flush with PH adjusted water. Also how long do I flush for? Should I just run the flush through for a couple of ten minute feeds or for a whole day? Jimbo

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…

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
