    Forbid, Floramite, Avid for clones

    I use Avid on my clones as soon as they root. I use it again just as soon as I turn the babies into the flower room. In flower I use Azomax if I see any infestations along with no pest strips. Mighty Wash is also safe to use on buds, and effective, but a bit pricy.

    Running With The Big Dogs

    Just take your clones befor you switch the plants to flower. If your clones start getting too big, just top em ( high stress training ) to keep them down low. Or if you want to take the extra time then LST ( Low stress training ) by tieing down the longer branches, forcing them to put out new...

    Azamax

    I use Avid when the plants are young ( 2 or 3 weeks old ) and again just befor switching to 12/12. If I see any signs of mites during the grow cycle ( In spite of being sprayed with Avid)I use a pyrethium based bug killer or Mighty Wash.In the flower room the only thing I use is Mighty Wash as...

    Any suggestions on strains from Nirvana?

    The first grow I ever did was Nirvanas Pure Power Plant and their White Widow. The results where very good. PPP is a heavy producer of some very good commercial smoke. Very forgiving for a new grower, it can tolerate a lot of abuse and still come out strong. I grew it both indoors as well as...

    sick babies!

    I had a problem that looked very close to what I see in your pictures. It wasn't bugs or moisture on the leaves. Turned out to be a fungas. I never did completely eradicate it, but I did manage to control it. What I did: Remove any leaves showing brown or necro looking spots and dispose of away...

    Compare these pesticides

    I use Azmax on a pretty regular basis as a preventative, kind of sucks for a major outbreak though. Sarenade is pretty good for more serious mold/mildew issues, they make a organic that can be used into flowering, cant remember the name of it off hand.

    help!! think i messed up.

    I use a 50/50 coir / ffof for my clones. Ocean Forest burns the heck out of my babies if I use it straight. Better of just getting a seed starter mix at walmart and using that for your clones.

    Nutes are KILLING my plants...

    Why are you feeding plants when they are only 3 weeks old? I've never seen or heard of any need to feed them at all unless they are in coco coir or some other soiless medium. If your soil, of which I admit I am unfamiliar with, has any kind of nutriants in it at all, then why add more...

    Yellowing leaves

    The problem is that you fertilized in soil that already has nutriants in it. As young as they are, and in good soil, why did you decide that they needed nutriants?

    What's wrong w/ Larry?

    I never feed a seedling as young as that as long as it planted in a decent soil ( not coir or some such ) A seedling should be able to get everything it needs from the soil. In fact I never feed at all until they have been in their final pot for quite a while. Usually the first time my babies...

    40 clones cut, none of em rooted?

    What works for me: I use rapid rooters, and clonex for my clones. I have found that by placing the rapid rooters in small ( 2 or 3 inch ) pots, surrounded with a light soil/coir mix that I can control the moiture a whole lot easier. Usually I water once, when I take the clones, and don't have...

    40 clones cut, none of em rooted?

    I've had hell trying to get a good method of cloning that works for me, so I sympathise with you. I have found that the two things that affect successful cloning, no matter the medium, are temperature and humidity. If rooting in soil, or other medium, then over wet can be a killer. If in a...

    Trimming fan leaves

    Trimming off the fan leaves is generally not a good idea. I say that because I tried it on one of my Wonder Woman and left the others be, as an experiment to see once and for all for myself what would happen. The one with the trimmed fan leaves did much worse than the ones left alone. That...

    Anyone top their plants?

    Depends on the strain, and your grow room. I have plenty of headroom but on most strains I still top them, fimm them and lst. I tend to veg a lot longer than most people do though. I would much rather have a nice full bush than a beanpole. However with some strains topping is not a good idea...

    what is the best time to grow in california?

    It depends on where in Ca. you want to grow. The further north, the later to plant. Where I am located, May 15 is the earliest. Southerners plant earlier, northerners plant later. Some plant by the moon cycle.

    C99

    I grew c99 for a couple of years, both indoors and outdoors. For a while it was my favorite 'wake and bake' type of smoke. Grows quick and is an easy plant to grow. Very forgiving on enviroment and nutes. I believe it was a 54 day to flower strain which makes it about the fastest sativa to grow...

    looking for strain for my climate

    Another one I am looking at is Blue widow, a cross between Blue Dream and white widow. As blue dream is an excellent choice for yeild and bug/mold resistance, I figure the cross would be a good choice.

    i need help choosing a few strains!

    First decide whether you want and indica ( couch lock, pain relief ) or a sativa ( depression, nerves ) or a strain that is a cross between the two. Second, indoor or outdoor? If indoor, what kind of room do you have? Do you have a lot of headroom for taller plants or is there height...

    looking for strain for my climate

    I was just researching the same thing, as several of my outdoor plants this year are taking much too long. That said I am leaning towards Critical by Royal Queen seeds and Bubba Kush ( not sure of the breeder ) and OG#18 although it takes a bit longer . Although I am on the opposite coast we all...
