Hey, I am currently doing a growdiary and It's coming near the end.. I just wanted to know if any of you would be able to tell me the best method of drying, I finished a Purple Haze plant at a friends, and been testing different ways of drying, I put half oz. in a drawer, with newpaper all in there, I even got a little bit and put it under the 400w light, and some in the Oven "Gf's dad cameover and was like It'll work" so I let him go, but it shrunk the buds toomuch, they still got me :thumbsup but I wanted to know if anyone knew a really good way to keep the thc in the buds. ( I heard hanging it was supposed to be very good ) Cheers, HalfBaked.

hey guys found this posted in my travels and thought some of you guys would enjoy . Book Description This guide offers methods for growers who want to maximize the yield and potency of their crop. It explains the "Screen of Green" technique that gives a higher yield using fewer plants, an important development for American growers who, if caught, are penalized according to number of plants. The Cannabis Grow Bible is an authoritative source that features almost 200 color and black-and-white photographs, charts, and tables. With an emphasis on the day-to-day aspects of maintaining a garden and European expertise, this book ensures that growers will enjoy a successful h…

G'day, about to embark on my first SOG grow. Growing Chronic and AK47. Just wanted some opinions on how far to distance the plants from each other? I was thinking 8-10" myself.

i was goin through the old posts in this forum and there was one about a guy who wanted to grapht 2 root masses (sp?) into 1 plants blah blah blah and someone replied about how u can bury a branch and roots will grow of that (stripping off foilage of course) so that gave me the idea of perhaps growing aplant to about 2 foot and tip/fim to the max so it would have the most possible branches then stripiing of foilage except the top few inches and bury the whole plant (prefferably in the ground) leaving the top few inches of leaves and you would be eventually left with a huge root system. what do you all think of that idea, it would be very intersting to do perahps if some…

Low Stress Training is the manipulation of young plants to produce early lateral growth without topping. Topping or tipping can cause stalled growth and even stunt plants too young to have their main growth tip removed. LST is recommended if you have height restrictions in your grow or plan on growing with a screen. HOW? OK. Once a seedling or clone has 2-3 sets of leaves it can begin to be manipulated. Two wires or ties are used on the main stem. One near the base to secure the plant firmly where it is as the second one near the top (under top set of leaves if purchase is available) and pulling in the opposite direction of the bottom wire/tie bringing the top of …

allrite.. now ive heard of growing along the ground by tying up your plants etc, which i plan to do this year because i totally farked up last years grow.. i want to grow a plant along the ground & when its around 8ft long.. i want to bend the main stem in the middle of the plant towards the ground & put a little nick in it & cover it with dirt.. as ive heard it can start to grow roots from there.. the bigger the root system, the bigger the plant can grow because it can uptake more stuff right ? stuff being nutrients & water & whatnot.. so if i was to have a plant with 2 root systems, wouldnt that be twice as good as one ? :scratchin oh, an…

Starting my first grow soon, was going to grow 15 plant's 5 foot high under 3 x 600watt HPS's. Would I get a better yield if I grew 30 plants 3 foot high?. What I'm thinking is that there is no point growing them 5-6 foot if the light isn't going to penertrate to the lower buds. So am I better off growing twice as many half as high to expose more bud to light?.

This probably seems like the sort of question OS must have covered at least a thousand times before, but I wasn't able to find a really satisfactory answer, so I apologise in advance if it seems like I haven't done my reading. How much wattage do we actually need to use to grow in an indoor area of around half a square metre? A figure I've seen quoted here is "at least 400 watts per square metre" however I'm also led to believe that more wattage equals a faster, more efficient grow. My wife seems to think that we'll need a 1000w lamp to ensure the yield is high and at this stage we really just want to have a quickly grown harvest prior to disassembling for a month or…
