Over time (decades) our lifestyle changes as our families grow older and our involvement with pot often changes as well. This is forced, or at least shaped, by its legal status. Our families cannot be expected to lead the solitary lifestyle that most of us would accept as necessary. Our...

Heat is used to "vaporize" the trichomes, which are then carried into the lungs. This is a transport mechanism, and heat is not needed for the THC to activate. Eating hash was historically the manner in which it was used in India and other countries. It wasn't until recent times that hash was...

Take a look at this January, 2005 article: http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/news/breaking_news/13527533.htm Dutch take sober look at pot laws Marijuana can be sold and smoked in the Netherlands, but not grown or shipped. Wider legalization is debated. By Ken Dilanian Inquirer Staff...

I would take a look at the small flood-n-drain system you have and then see what kinds of plastic containers you can find to build your own. The fittings are as little as $7 a set and I've worked with some glue trays used to put up wallpaper. They're a light plastic, but I think they're heavy...

In answer to that last question. Yes, I've had a chance to try it. I visited during the summer of Da Kine, and it was very interesting. I have read in some posts that budder is still available at special events in British Columbia, and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't being packaged for...

I've topped plants (well past the first alternating nodes) to force a more bushy growth pattern, but LST works unless you have your plants too crowded. A limiting factor tends to be the amount of light that reaches below the top canopy, and bending the plants in the spaces between plants will...

The fact that they haven't wilted after more than two weeks means they're getting nutrition somewhere and there's a tipping point at which the plant quickly begins to build roots (which it likes to do just below a node). While this is a root explosion of sorts, there's usually a tap root that...

It sounds like you have a single area to work with, rather than seperate Vg and Bud areas. Plants should be at least 12" high, and if you can force branching that will increase the number of buds. I'm not sure how much a small (proto)branch will grow after budding begins in earnest.

Actually, there are several manufacturers of 430 Watt ballasts, according to the marketting. But, I haven't found any overt issues with using a 430 watt bulb with a 400 watt ballast. HK

It sounds a little like the plants are reaching for the light, and also that you haven't topped them to force branching (which is one technique). As mentioned, if you can't hold your hand under the light for several minutes because it's too hot, then that would be too close for the plants...

One of the newer all electronic ballasts might not run properly with the wrong bulb, so I'd want to check with the manufacturer to be sure it wasn't going to develop into a problem.

Cloning has so many variables that it's difficult to handle as a strict process. There is always a percentage of loss and the goal is to keep that to a minimum. But an aging mother plant won't provide as robust clones as a younger one, so a lot has to be taken into account. A couple of points...

I would agree, without question. This is perhaps the most frustrating process until you work it out. I would expect that you would see roots form within three weeks, and if the clones look good and aren't wilted, I'd stick it out after investing a couple of weeks. I've seen the water spray...

There are several on various sites, but I would agree that "I Grow Chronic" is a good one. It's actually a DVD that you can purchase through a number of sites, but being new here I'm not sure if other sites should be promoted. "I Grow Chronic" provides a good overall view of the process and with...
