Yeah I am totally skeptical about it as well.

A friend told me that when you are ready to harvest, if you soak your plants' roots in boiling water for a few minutes it will force nutrients upwards into the plant and increase the THC content. This does not seem possible to me but I was wondering if anyone else has heard or done this?

I have 3 plants and they are 4 feet tall so how many ladybugs should I get? Surely not 10,000 right?

I use Alaskan Fish Fertilizer for veg. it is 5-1-1. I use Fox Farm Tiger Bloom (2-8-4) for flowering every watering.

You could get some ladybugs from a nursery, ladybugs are beneficial insects and will eat those aphids and not harm your plants. ladybugs are cheap too.

if they are "baby" plants you should not fertilize them until about the 3rd or 4th week of veg. and even then you should only use 1/4 of the strength of your fertilizer (if the directions say use 4 teaspoons then use 1 teaspoon). Remember its easy to over fertilize and kill your new plants.

I am in the 6th week of flowering and I have a spider mite problem that I am combating with Neem Oil every 3 to 4 days and manually removing them. It is working but now my buds have Neem Oil on them and I am wondering how to rinse them off or if you can even do that without promoting an...

Does anyone know how to rinse off the neem oil from the buds?

Yeah I am using a small closet. I am trying to raise the humidity and I have also sprayed them once with a neem oil solution.

Help me guys. I am currently in the 6th week of flowering and my plants have become infested with SPIDER MITES!! I have a Neem Oil mixture ready, but I am concerned about spraying my flowering plants. I don't want to mess up the taste. However I need to kill these little S.O.B.'s. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys I'll try that method

I am on my first grow and have 4 plants, eac of varying height. I use a 400-watt HPS in a 7"x4" closet. I want to start flowering but I am afraid that the buds on the tallest plant, which is about 4" tall, will get burned. I have the shorter plants elevated on stands so I am not worried about...

just saying hello to everyone. I'm currently in the middle of my first grow. It's going well now that i have killed ALL the spider mites.
