Hey folks, Well it seems like the wicked hot weather this summer was good for something--and that is growing some tobacco! I never thought about Wisconsin as being a real 'baccy growing region, but it turns out that I met several locals that are really in to it. I made a lot of mistakes this...

At prices pushing $7/pack, on a whim I bought and started about 100 plants. A farmer/neighbor was good enough to disk in my patch (sandy soil--but it served on and off as a horse pasture/grass lands). I should have had this whole thing planned out last year already. I just got the seeds...

Hi Guys, I have about 60 little tobacco seedlings (that I started about a month late:o ) that I'm planning to put in the ground once they get another inch or two taller. My soil is fairly sandy, but spent some time as a horse pasture/grass land so it has halfway-good fertility. I got the...

I have another 2 weeks before I'm going to put my girls outdoors. The problem is that i have them in big styrofoam cups, and they are getting leggy and pot-bound. For the sake of transporting them to my plot, I definitely want to keep them in the small pots, even if they are overgrown. Can...

I was reading on here about transplanting to outdoors. I should have probably done that before I started these seeds! I have some BC Early Skunk going, and they have been on 18 hours of light, now about 4 weeks old. But I forgot to consider that on my planting date, there are 14.1 hours of...

I'm growing a hybrid that I've been playing with over the years. It's a Northern lights x Haze crossed with Super Skunk, and back crossed with NLxH. The plants are short and stocky--real sturdy build, nice and bushy. Anyway, they are now 9 full weeks in to flower (12/12). The plants are in...

my uncle and I are kicking around putting a few well-rooted clones out on his farm this summer. The problem is-we live in WI! The spring frost date you can plan on pretty well, but you never know how soon you get frost in the fall. Anyone have experience in this region? Rough estimates for...

Ok, I set my crop to 12/12 last weekend, and now they are JUST starting to show there gender. I have one very nice NLxH male that responded beautifully to LST and topping, so I'm thinking I would like to cross that times my new God Bud (what the heck? I have both of them going, it would be a...

Hey Guys, Could use a little sage wisdom! I'm on my first organic-ish grow in soil. I used a home-brew mix which is about 50% peat, probably 25% of local "landscaping humus" (nice, black fine grained stuff), and the rest made up of perlite and very coarse vermiculite. I added the...

I'm doing another "long distance grow". Definitely NOT the way to do things, but it's worked out fairly well. I have a 3x4 room with a 400W HPS and about another 120W (actual watts) of CFLs that I kick on during flowering. I'm growing NLxH and Super Skunk X Mango Haze that I started from...

I'm having a bit of a problem with fungus gnats. I'm growing in a home-brew soil mix. It's about 50% peat, 10% vermiculite (really coarse--about 1/2" pieces), 5% perlite, and mushroom compost and local "landscaping compost". I supplimented it with blood meal, bone meal, Chickety DooDoo...

Hey Folks, Yesterday I tied down some of my older seedlings, really just to reduce there height while my new God Buds catch up (they are about 2 weeks younger). I'd like to start flowering them the same time. I used some cord, and I tied the top couple of nodes over at sharper than 90...

Hello folks, I'm planning a rebuild of my room. I've been flirting with disaster (odor problems), and this has GOT to be resolved before I move on. Anyway, I realized last night that my room is adjacent to my washer and drier--and that that drier is vented through a 4" pipe to the outside...

Hey Guys, Quick question. I own a house, but am living about 1.5 hours away all week for work and only return on the weekends. I got the ok from my girl to re-setup my grow room (as we are running out of last year's crop). The deal is this--she told me that she'd look after them, but didn't...

I've been reading reports on here, and can't find a solid answer about producing seed from autoflowering plants. I'm thinking of giving some Lowryders or Lowlife has an auto-AKxdiesel that sounds amazing. I'm wondering how to produce more seed though. I wouldn't mind spending $40 for 10...

I'm wondering if anyone has used those aqua-globes in there garden? You know, those ones you see at Walmart with a glass ball on a stem that you push into the soil. I'm getting ready to go back to school and I'm going to need to figure out a way to keep a soil garden going at my house while...

I'm going to be re-starting grad school in mid-august. I'll be getting an apartment in my new town, but want to have my closet running at my actual home (where my fiance will still be living). I will be coming home on the weekends. Wondering if you guys think it's possible to run a garden by...

I built a hydro unit with 8 mesh 4" mesh pots. It's arranged with 2 in each of 4 Sterilite totes (I think they have about 3 gallons a piece). I have them all plumbed together so that you fill the first from the res, which dumps into the second.... then back to the res. The total volume is...

I'm doing my first hydro-grow with a system I built. I had planned to grow 12 plants in a 2'x4' space (SOG) but managed to kill about 6 clones. I'm wondering now how I can take 4 or 5 plants and get them to fill in the canopy. Do I want the plants to branch out close to the base, then get...

Hi guys I just bought a sack of lava rock from the local nursery. I called the manufacturer and they told me that they don't treat it with any chemicals or dye. The lava is about 1/2" to 3/4" in size, and it looks like it's been tumbled to kind of round off the corners. what should I do...
