    server busy

    I know this has been mentioned before and if I remember correctly the mods weren't too thrilled with the subject being brought up. I belong to about 5 forums and I prefer this one by far because it's not so big that the threads are off the first page in 30 minutes and the people on here are...

    Mother Nature

    Can someone please explain to me the reasoning for germinating seeds in a paper towel? With the millions of plants on this earth none of them were germinated in a paper towel. In fact, with the exception of marijuana, I have never heard of anyone germinating seeds for any other types of plants...

    Mutant Clones

    I took 12 clones from 4 different plants when they were 2 weeks into flowering. I used a bubbler and all of them rooted within a week and I planted them in hempy buckets. Even though all of the donor plants were the same age - a couple of them had more flower growth than the others. It has...

    Hempy with hydroton?

    Has anybody ever used hydroton as the medium for hempy buckets? Just wondering if it will work - beats having to replace the perlite everytime.

    Growth time for clones

    After failing miserably with different cloning methods, I finally tried a homemade bubble cloner and it worked great - 15 cuttings all rooted in about a week. The cuttings were taken from 3 different plants that were all in the 2nd week of flower. When roots were established I cut a 1-1/2"...

    Why high EC?

    Could someone tell me why some people push the limits on the strength of their nutrients? I'm certainly not a professional but I admit that I grow some killer plants. I grow Hempy - start at 100 ppm (.7 scale) for 2 weeks, 200 for week 3, 300 for week 4 and so on. I never exceed 800 ppm's and...
