I absolutely ADORE watching my plants grow. And there's nothing in the world (short of the big 'O') better than smoking a joint made from bud YOU grew!

Looking over the threads in here I've noticed a lot of discussion and questions regarding 'the right way to grow' or 'the best way to grow' etc., as well as requests for tips for new growers. So naturally I thought I'd throw my two cents into the well and make a wish. And here goes...

I have tried it and it tastes great! :ignore: Thanks to all for your kind remarks. Cheers!

Hi folks, Haven't been around the forum in awhile....thought I'd show you what I've been doing lately. This entire harvest is from a single plant. Strongest one I ever grew. The guy I buy my soil from gave me a free sample of Mychorizae teabags. Phenomenal results and highly recommended. I had...

Hey berserker71, I'm going pretty much 100% FoxFarms on my grows, starting with their Ocean Forest soil with added peat moss and perlite. I had been using plain-jane potting soil but have noticed a great increase in growth using the OF. It contains worm castings and bat guano etc and really...

I got the exact same model when they were $99 plus shipping. STRONGLY recommended. Nothing refurbished, all 100% new including bulb. Only concern I had was that the hood was a little short (14-15") and pretty flimsy, but you can always replace it with a better one. The best hundred bucks I've...

Never would have made it without expert help from TBG, Stoney, Mutt, Kade and Hick. Thanks so much you guys! You've helped set my feet on a path I've wanted to be on for a looooong time. Now that I'm able to produce these kinds of results I'm kicking myself for all the seeds I've thrown away...

Hi all, Just about done - - - probably about 2 weeks to go. This plant suffered a massive Ca overdose early on and was stunted such that it grew about half of it's normal size. Normal would be almost 7' tall; this one's only 4'. If only I'd known about the Ca problem at the start! Oh well...

Cool. Thank you Stoney! (Edit:You're very welcome!- Stoney)

My power was off momentarily today in the middle of my plants' light-on cycle. Since their only time in the dark was the 15 minutes I spent waiting before firing up my HPS again, it would seem like no real damage was done. Which leads to my question: How long would an interruption have to be...

These are the dreaded UBS strain (Unknown bagseed). Here's a thought: In spite of the fact that the strain is unknown, it is some particular strain. In other words, it's definitely an 'X' strain and not a 'Y'. The strain is merely unknown. From what I've read, it's difficult if not impossible...

:) Hi all, Here's a couple tops from the current crop. Still have at least 4 weeks to go.

It looks to me like you have plenty of fan leaves left. I guess I'd keep going and see what you end up with. It's too bad you don't also have a 'control' plant that you didn't trim at all, so you could compare the two at the end. From Hick's reply it seems safe to assume that it's OK to trim the...

These are all the same unknown bagseed strain. At least, they all came out of the same bag. :D What's interesting is the older plant has much more well-developed buds at this stage. More developed in appearance and aroma. The younger plants' buds look a bit scraggly and have nearly no smell...

BTW, the plants in the first pic were about 15" high, since then they've grown to about 72" high - - - almost a 5x increase! :eek: The rule of thumb I keep hearing is that they can 'potentially double in height', so these must be freaks of nature or something. The light was never more than...

Hi there Soccrmn7, thanks for the compliments. These were vegged under compact fluorescents (not shown - $9 for a 3-pack at Wally World plus fixtures) then put under the light in the pic. It's a 400W HPS that I got from HTGSupply.com for $99 plus the shipping. Seemed like a good deal when I was...

Well, I don't think I was aggressive enough with my training and things kinda got out of hand. :eek: First pic is 4 weeks ago when they were first put into 12/12 and 2nd pic is now. Waddya think?

This one's not exactly as I described, but it does illustrate my point. http://www.mjp.com/gallery/data/500/8381DSC00766.JPG

I've got three plants going right now in the 4th week of flower. As I had some trouble germinating this time around, one of them is about 3 weeks older than the other two. Does this mean that the first one will finish before the other two? They were all put into 12/12 at the same time. I held...
