Greetings. Myself and a couple other old hippies are going to this years 420 fest. We have been to Colo. for weed visits, but never Denver for 420. Would appreciate any and all free advice on what the hot things are to do besides the obvious. Any advice from a Denver smoker? Thanks Much

Greetings. I have two Sativa dominant plants that are growing great indoors. My question is when to "harvest", I have Googled this topic and searched here. (I know the trichome process, have loupe) what I would like to know is what's the deal on the pistils...does it just continue to flower...

Thanks to all. THG you were spot on as usual, as for the overwatering advice, priceless. Just say no! Plastic buckets were a bad idea from the start, never even thought of them being opaque. Dr. Fever also gave me lots of food for thought. I have been doing the knuckle guide then adding...

Thanks for the reply. I have the usual megastores and a couple lawn and garden centers, no "grow" shops. I can get whatever online of course. Am trying to avoid alot of hassle searching for bulk components to make up a personal mix. I would like to get a couple bags of whatever and then...

Greetings! Soil I'm using now is plain top soil (Gardeners Pride from Lowe's) playground sand, and some perlite. Using FloraNova Grow and Bloom as only nutrients. My tap water is 7.0 ph period, I have just been flying with that. These are my weak points, on 4th grow I guess now. Having...

Just had a first, my package from Attitude SB, was intercepted and opened by you know who. Normally I don't take the extra precaution of the super stealth shipping, luckily this time I had. ***I must say I was well taken care of by the vendor!!!! Send a photo of package per their request, and...

Placed an online order to Herbie, they emailed later to inform me that I had checked the incorrect box for U.S. delivery. This error will increase the shipping charges, Herbie can't recharge my VISA, so...THEY SAID THE WOULD ABSORB THE DIFFERENCE AND SHIP WITH NO DELAY!!! Saved me a hassle...

Greetings. Regular Romex is not rated for direct burial in soil. There is Romex suitable for outdoor use available. Also, consider what your line load amp total will be, lights, fans, etc. Use at least 12 gauge or heavier. Also don't be afraid to ask at electrical supply shops or even...

Greetings. I have complained once before about germination problems I had been having. Changed to Attitude and have had trouble with these seeds also...feminized seeds by Green House Seeds. Soaked some in water with heat pad, put some between paper towels also on heat pad. (seeds after 5-6...

Been using the large 2 lb. coffee cans as pots, holes in the bottom, etc. I am guessing that I am overwatering, probably always have. Roots look OK nothing out of the ordinary. THANKS FOR YOUR KIND RESPONSES!!

Have had two plants go totally crisp/dried out from top to bottom. Been about 2-3 months in veg. Using dirt mix, Flora Grow, been watering every other day, lights not too close, vented with blower. Seems like one day the leaves look ok, then a day or so later the whole plant is crispy/dead...

I am using soil for this effort. I am having a helluva time getting my seeds to take off when put in the soil. I am afraid to overwater, and think I am getting my seeds dried out and then it's all she wrote. Should I keep the ground moist " all the time" during germination? (I have put seeds...

Greetings. I would like to start by saying that I have been searching thru MP and other resources regarding this problem. I have the whole setup needed, using Flora Grow, PH around 6-6.5, sand and potting soil mix. Lighting not too close for heat damage. Proper ventilation, with a seperate...

Sorry no photo, but my description will prob. help you tell me the sad news. Plant has clusters of pods that have hairs coming from them, but I don't see the pistils pictured in various sexing articles. I am 99%++ sure its a male...when I tap the plant an orangeish powder floats down. Pollen...

Thanks for the input. I have concluded, MH and HPS lighting is the way to go. (what a confusing topic). Thusly I will need to add ventilation...I can go thru the ceiling to the attic AND can also go thru the floor to my crawl space. Air temperature may be a problem from these areas. Iowa...
