Okay so I was wondering if Ortho Bug-B-Gone MAX would be ok to use on my plants to keep the white flies/thrips off of it?

So what you saying is that the ferts you use have smaller NPK numbers AND you only use a quarter strength? I have been using full strength 24-8-16 for about a week now and it doesn't seem to be burning the plant at all. I gotta get me some Sevin Dust though. How many different sets of leaves...

Would Sevin dust hurt my plant? What all pests does Sevin keep off of plants? Also I'm using a water soluable miracle grow fertilizer that is 24-8-16. Is this too strong of a fertilizer for a young plant (2-4 weeks)?

I found some little white bugs on my plants today. They can jump very far. I was wondering what these bugs were and if they are harmful to the plant what I can do to keep them off. I was also wondering if it is a necessity that I transplant into 5-gal buckets. Won't it grow big in a 1-gal...

So how long should I wait before I transplant them into the buckets? The containers I have them in are 4-5 quarts which is roughly a gallon. Is transplanting them into 5 gallon buckets really necessary because I dont want to put them through more stress than is necessary. What I'm saying is...

Ok. I'm not sure when the longest day of the year is for me. But I live in north-west NC. I am using "Expert" potting soil that feeds for up to nine months. I set two sprouts in each of the pots and then as they grew i transplanted. The one that you see is a straggler that I am about to...

So my babies are about 3-4 weeks into there vegetative growth and here is a picture of my best looking plant. Is the container I have them in big enough to allow for a decent sized plant. Are the stems longer than they should be? Is it not getting enough light? Judging from the pics how...

I'm a newbie and I was wondering are all Miracle Grow products bad? Can they be used because I have some.

thank you guys so much for your help. I have more seeds germinating now and i bought a bag of expert potting soil that says it feeds up to nine months. I also got the miracle grow singles for when i water my plants later in there development. I was thinking about gettin some miracle grow...

I will try to get some pics up soon. They are about 6-7 inches tall but still just have two leaves on them with another set growing inside those two. Also the stems look pretty weak. Are you sure I should start giving them ferts already? Also it is potting soil that they there in. Hope to...

I am using some potting soil from a garden outside my house. I have them planted in buckets with about 7-10 small holes punched in the bottom and rocks lining the bottom.

They are about 2 weeks old and they are in pots roughly 6-7 in. in diameter. They are growing outside.

So I have 6 plants growing, 4 of which are looking excellent. The other 2 have some deformed leaves on them and aren't growing as well. Is there any way that I can help these other two plants grow better. The leaves are an almost oval shape with rough edges. It has been raining quite a bit...

Ok I have looked through all the forums but im having a hard time trying to fix my problem. I have an outdoors plant in a roughly 8-9 in. diameter pot with potting soil in it. The tips of the fan leaves are turning an almost tan looking color and slightly curling downwards at the tips. I went...

I live in an extremely rural part of North Carolina and I have my plants hidden very well. Once they get bigger I will move them to different places so they wont gather as much attention. I am currently scouting for new places to put my plants once they mature. Thank you for your advice but I...

Ok so i have about 6 germinated seeds planted now along with the one i already have growing. I planted them in those half gallon ice cream buckets with holes in the bottom and rocks at the bottom as well to promote good drainage. I was wondering how old a plant needs to be before it can safely...

Thanks a lot for the help guys. I now have more seeds germinating and will soon be transplanted for a good harvest I hope.

I'll try to get some pics up soon so you guys can let me know what you think. Thanks for the help.

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what is making my leaves yellow. They are two rounded leaves and the first set of leaves has only two elongated leaves. These are the ones turning yellow around the tips. Is it normal for them to die off? The second set has three leaves and is...

OK so I have a plant about 2-3 weeks old and i have it outdoors in about a 5-6 inch deep pot with a diameter of roughly 8-9 inches. My plant has two little oval shaped leaves that are the "germination" leaves as well as two long leaves and a couple of "pot" looking leaves beginning to grow in...
