I've seen a chart of a male and female cannabis seeds. The supposable female seed had a distinctive volcano looking end, with a drop in the center like a volcano The male was more of a football with pointed end. Interestingly cannabis is the only plant on the planet you can visually see the sex of the plant. I wonder if you can see a hermaphrodite ? All other plants can only be determine by it's DNA! With cannabis being such a versatile plant used for thousands of year for its grateful retune, why not the cannabis seed being known visually for it's gender too? No? I'm I nuts and is it more hormone driven then?

Hi Guys I cant afford to buy a proper CO2 setup for my room but I am wondering about buying some of those CO2 crystals that you apparently add to a bin of water in your grow rooms to increase the CO2 in the room. has anyone tried this? Does it work?

OK I am using a (W)3.2 x (L)3 x (H)2.4 room and plan to have a 2 x 600w, air cooled lights with a carbon filter setup in a flat I live in on the second floor. I was going to have 4 plants growing horizontal and grow them big. Setting the net about 12inches high off the top of the pot plant. Do you think this is a waste of 2 lights? Last yield from 3 plants (1.5 x 1.5 room) and 1 light (600) was 66, 87, 126. Don't know why 1 did 66 and the other did 126 when they all were right next to each other? Should I forget the horizontal and vertical?

This is my first attempt at growing so I'm rather unsure of the right steps to take and what to look out for. I've done all the basics, sterilise, pH neutral water, rhyzo and 18/6 lighting but the plants look like their growth is somewhat stunted and going downhill. I flush the water almost every day. There are two batches of plants in the dome, the bigger ones are 2 weeks older than the smaller ones. Rockwool cubes started showing signs of blackish spots so I transplanted them into new rockwool and they're leaves started to turn yellow.. Please advice on what I should do now to salvage them.

Does the glass in lamp shades effected the yeild? A m8 just told me that using a fan cooled lamp shade, that the glass stops certain light particles and doesn't grow as good as a bat wing? Also do batwings work better than a full cover lamp shade, even if you don't use the glass? Long live Syd Barrett!

Just wondering if it's possible to grow plants, then put them under a lower lighting level just to maintain the growth. I live in an apartment and may need to hide some plants from time-to-time for inspections etc. I would like to have them in grow when an inspection is due, but leave them at a height where I can easily hide them but then throw them straight back into grow without losing any of the vegetative quality. I have a 100 grow grow light (not sure it was a good investment) and a 600w HPS. I'm thinking I could grow under the HPS then move them under the 100w for a week or two. Is this possible?

the idea behind a vertical grow is to maximize light foot print. traditional grows only leave you with nice top colas. wouldn't if be nice if that nice top cola was the whole plant! This is my V-Tub. Very simple to make very simple to grow high yields. this can be used in bigger applications as well feel free to shoot any questions. Materials 10cm hole saw 10cm Hose adapter 10cm Inline Fan/blower (2) 75L tubs (4) cool tube: recommend 250-400 Start with lining the insides of both tubs with reflective tape/mylar or paint. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff96/5ampson/IMG_3570.jpg use your hole saw to cut a hole in the dead center of the top tub http://i238.photobucke…

I am wondering if anyone can tell me if freezing seeds will preserve them? I am waitingt nto get some seeds from UK and they have not received my money yet. A friend has some hydro seeds she will give to me (don't know what strain) so I am thinking of planting them in between time as the boat is slow from China getting them here. When they arrive will I be able to preserve them until time to plant? Many thanks to those who can put me on the right track.
