    Finally finished a grow after 2 years of not growing. FEELS GREAT to see these nice fat buds. Strain is Blockhead. Only just harvested, so curing is in process. Have always grown in rockwool but would like to entertain something better, but not dirt! I feed mine with 1/8" tubes, every 2...

    I am quiting weed tomorrow!

    I stopped for about 3 months recently but got tired of not being called for interviews. You send out resumes and no one responds. So, I started smokin' again. Going on 44 years now. Still love it like the first time. DJ

    Marijuana Research Programs

    I am wondering if there are others out there that have been subjects in Marijuana Research studies? I would love to hear other peoples' experiences. I was involved with a study at the UCLA Medical Center in West LA, back in 1974. It was a 3 month stay at the Medical Center, with 5 others. We...

    Flushing!!!

    I have also used Clearex for flushing midway in the grow. Using Rockwool cubes and slabs, I check the TDS in the solution as well as inside the slab (use a turkey baster to get the solution). They should match but if the slab is higher, you should flush. If you overnute with Rockwool, the...

    PH & Nutrient Charts

    I use a budding supplement that pushes the ph below 5. So I will use about 3 Tbs of phUp to get it to 5.5 or thereabouts. A ph meter is essential for this very reason. As far as TDS or EC, if you have a mix down pat, you should be able to gauge what your TDS is. A meter is VERY handy but...

    Hey All! New guy here. Nice site.

    I hope you are right about the C99 seeds. I only had 5 at the time. I wouldn't mind starting something different one of these days but the Skunk keeps me happy enough not to think about it... I remember Heaven's Stairway. Never used them. I got my Sensi Skunk from Gypsy, in the UK. The...

    Hey All! New guy here. Nice site.

    Amateur Grower - I got my Skunk #1 from Sensi Seeds but I imagine that by now those genetics have been copied by almost everyone. I see that Sensi does not offer Skunk #1 (correct me if I am wrong) but instead it is something like Skunk #11 (or so?). 2dog - Unfortunately I did not see Janis...

    Hey All! New guy here. Nice site.

    I searched for a strain that was potent and tasty. Tried Blueberry but that is a hard strain to grow well. Same with Cinderella. I tried some Hindu Kush and Flo but I didn't like the look of those buds. The Skunk has such nice buds. I'll have to post some pics. Makes me hungry just talking...

    Newbie questions

    I use Bubble Bags in a 5 gallon bucket. 4 oz of leaf will make about 1/4 oz of hash. And it is really good stuff! Check out the Bubble Bags thread and get yourself going. I do 2 or 3 batches at a time and wind up with almost an OZ of nice brown hash. Mmmmm..M! :holysheep: Good luck...

    Hey All! New guy here. Nice site.

    Will do the chief. Thanks for the heads up. Stay out of trouble? Is that like when you go to your hydro or bong store and you can't say "weed" without being asked to leave? :-) J

    to flush or not to flush?

    I use Clearex myself, for the last 5 days. I have also flushed occassionally during the grow, if the plants showed some overnuting (<-new word?). But it depends on the system you are using as well. I am at 1150ppm (TDS) the last week or 2, using Rockwool. You need to flush that out some...

    Hey All! New guy here. Nice site.

    Hi All. Another old hippy here. Still have my tickets to Woodstock (non one was there to take them!). :D Been growing about 10 years or so. Use Rockwool Slabs with 15 minutes of nutes every 2 hours. Been working off the same Skunk #1 strain for 8 years or so. :holysheep: Used to be a...
