I'll speak up on it a little more for ya as things go. I'm starting to dwell into hyrdo right now for tomatos and peppers for my spring garden. I have quite a few grows under my belt, there is so much overwhelming info out there its really hard to make sence of it all. But its all good, just remember its a typical plant, know the light cylces, dont under or over water, and they will take care of you.

you probably should get rid of that until you have at least one grow on your belt. Not trying to pick on you, but let's be honest... that would be the smart thing to do.

I don't know if the light time is an issue.
I get 95% of my cuttings and use only 12 hrs of light.
Not saying anyone is wrong just don't feel it's a real factor in rooting new cutting.

Hey man I asked a good question tho.
I mean there is no one liner answer and all the answers are posted around this board.
So if they have read up on things, this could become fun.
I have many more questions like that one waiting.
They were the reason I came to the growery to begin with, and now have a good bit of info on.
Also a thread like this can draw in new members, whom think they have all the answers, or need them themselves.

You are the man with the poll thread around here somewhere so add it to that thread.
But I like the thread itself because if the right questions are asked, then it will make the Google search engine, which helps bring in new members.

Sativas will flower much longer and be taller and have skinny leaves.
Sativas also have much more of a heady high, where Indicas have much more of a body stone. Indicas will be shorter for both and have fatter leaves, they also finish flowering in a shorter time. I like Indicas better than Sativas.

If we can't keep it on topic then well I'll have to remove it.

Word... I would hope you knew that.
I am an Indica lover myself. I like that narcotic feeling... 
Besides, who honestly wants to waste 2x the time and space to get a sativa high. I'd just grow those outdoors guerrilla style.

Comon man I know for a fact that you know his answer didn't have near enough detail.
Or are you saying that all sativas follow the same rule.

Well the problem is a lot of hybrid sativas these days can be of medium heights and flower in 9, even 8 weeks with some. Those would be exceptions obviously.

OK OK I wasn't looking 20 pages dude just a little clearer answer is all.
I mean reading your answer if I didn't already know better, with me being a sativa lover for the wake n bake thing, one may think that there aren't aren't any shorter or quicker flower times for them.
So on to another question.
What are the visual signs and differences between the two as it goes to maturity and harvest time?

yes,salt build up is a cause of nute lockout.
I was thinking of a more general answer like an unbalanced ph.
An unstable pH effects your plants ability to uptake nutrients. But I'm sure you already knew that.

Glad you agree now please answer my question from page 2.
I want to see how much this site has taught you, or FBD.
I've learned all the right information I have/know from this site.
I knew some "Oh dude, I heard if you do this" stuff before I started reading up here a lot, but all the real shit came from here.
I might not know the perfect answer to every question, but I am 100% positive I could grow some dank ass weed with a good yield. I know what a plant SHOULDN'T look like when growing now and usually if there's something wrong with it, it's like to be an unbalanced ph, nute lockout, or some kind of lighting/heat/oxygen problem. Those would be some of the first places I would look anyway
For example, the last plant I grew...I now know my nodes were way too far apart and it was stretching. The ph was also off. Yellow tips mean burn or a phosphorus deficiency right?

I'm no expert and don't know from experience, but going off of the picture, I would think it has something to do with those droopy leaves. Ph would probably be the first thing I would check. Don't know the exact term of what is wrong with it though.

I would also say a PH problem, but I think its some sort of a toxic buildup. Thats why the leaves are curled.

I actually DID get a seed that grew in the calyx of one of the leaves. It's viable too. Smaller than most others but I have it separated from the rest. i haven't decided what to do with it.

What is the recommended CO2-to-Oxygen PPM ratio for a 1.5 feet tall in the vegetation stage?

actually I would say not n00by enough for that question. Some could argue that current Atmospheric CO2 concentrations are perfect for all plants since they evolved under those conditions for millions of years, and others would argue that artificial enrichment is the only option for increased growth rates.
Very good question, but the answer is highly subjective

I think he's trying to ask how much CO2 a plant that size (age?) can handle/use. I think they can handle like five times the amount of CO2 that naturally exists in the air.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth
so... approximately a 1:100 ppm ratio?

I know what ppm stands for...
CO2 occurs naturally in our atmosphere at sea level at 387 ppmv or parts per million by volume.
387 * 5 = 1935
O2 occurs naturally at 209,460 ppmv.
209,460 / 1935 = 108
(~1:100) ppmv CO2:O2
...maybe I got the math wrong?

Oh I didn't realize you meant 1:100 ratio CO2:O2, I thought you were trying to calculate 1/100th of the Air being CO2 by volume which would be 10,000ppm.
In light of that, your math is correct

Or you can ask how knowing such things can help improve someones cultivation knowledge/skill. That's what i'd like to know. this shouldn't be a 'lets see how technical we can all get' question thread. but that's just, you know, my opinion man.

Very good point my friend. This is not "lets learn about marijuana, the plant." No, this is "Lets learn how to grow marijuana, the plant."
Sorry about that Furrow: I just thought some people should know what they are growing, in terms of where Mary fits into the Plantae kingdom...but its not really important for cultivation, as you said.
I got another one: What does N-P-K stand for?
If that's too easy, What is the recommend N-P-K ratio for a soil plant that is 1 week old (from germination)? That is 2 weeks old? And is the ratios/concentrations different for hydro growing?
Hows that FBizzle?

Follow up question: What is the difference between a dicot and a monocot plant?
~ TrueHerbCrystal ~
Nobody answered this? aww that makes me sad, I'll try and do it from memory, although general biology was some time ago
Eudicots-
taproot structure
branching vascular tissue in leaves
petiole vascular structure arranged in a ring
2 Cotyledons (of course)
Monocots-
Singular cotyledon
roots structured in a fibrous clump (lacking taproot)
parallel vascular tissue in leafs
thin, narrow leaves (usually)
flower petals in multiples of three
vascular tissue scattered throughout stem, not ringlike.
hmm... don't think I missed anything....

That's pretty much it, but you did miss something: the amount of petals on the flower....
Dicots (Eudicots)*
Have 3 or 5 petals on flower.
Monocots*
Have 2 or 4 petals on flower.
*Note: Not all dicots and monocots grow flowers (aka are angiosperms). Ex: a pine tree (a gymnosperm).
And is the marijuana bud really considered a flower? Why is it considered a flower? (a noob question maybe?)
But thanks for the Anser Harry Nutz

I think you have that backwards actually. Monocots have petals in multiples of 3 or 5 and Dicotomous angiosperms have petals in multiples of 4 (even number of cotyledons = even number of petals). I included that for monocots but I suppose I forgot to include it for Eudicots.
oh well, not too bad for citing from memory. Good catch!

Oops, I did get it backwords...my bad!
So, on Mary's, is the leaves around the bud considered the flower's "petals"?
But it wouldn't make sense for MJ leaves have 5 petals or 7 petals and MJ is a dicot....Hmmm...

Like I said its referring to the embryonic leaves containing the meristematic tissue.
THe cells can be used for any cell in the plant because the have no specification.

well in the family cannabaceae the flowers are actinomorphic (radially symmetrical), but lack petals because they are wind pollinated and don't require showy displays of color to attract pollinators. As far as I understand they don't have any petals (or corolla if you want to get fancy) whatsoever.

My aunt asked me the same thing. I just told her it's not the typical flower that she's thinking of. If it is the reproductive organ of the plant, it is the flower. Despite what it may look like.

If I remember correctly there are only two points of meristematic tissue within a seed right? The apical meristem between the cotyledons which becomes the growth point for the first set of true leaves, and another meristem which becomes the point of cell unspecified cell division for root growth. the cotyledons themselves are not actually meristematic tissue

I've heard it both ways but I tend to clump it all together.
Cotyledons contain hormones such as cytokinins, which regulate cellular differentiation and embryonic organ formation.
There's 2 sources of the apical meristem, lateral growth from shoots and roots alike. Only obviously 1 goes up the other goes down.
Then there's the lateral meristem, which provides girth growth.

I think the answer is It's science.
Ever notice in science they call most things theories?
Technically, Harry is right. In the textbook sense.
I believe I'm right also because cotyledon actually do contain embryonic tissue.
How do you interpret the truth? You look at all the data you have and decide what you think it the right answer.
Oh yeah and that pics from an old spike and chester cartoon.

I got another one: What does N-P-K stand for?
If that's too easy, What is the recommend N-P-K ratio for a soil plant that is 1 week old (from germination)? That is 2 weeks old? And is the ratios/concentrations different for hydro growing?
Hows that FBizzle?
~ TrueHerbCrystal ~
This one should be fairly common knowledge, no?
A complete answer with reasons why the different ratios are beneficial at different times gets extra credit! or a gold star!!; no, fuck it... extra credit, a gold star, plus two check marks!!! GO!
P.S.: Shouldn't the use of Google be encouraged in this thread rather than frowned upon. If someone didn't know the answers before they googled them, who cares, the point is they do now, eh? Just my humble opinion.
Other than that, bring on more picture diagnostics! Those are fairly google-proof

lol yeah this thread would help people out if we get all the basics out of the way before moving on to the more difficult things. Basically I dont need to be quized on things about the plant, but more things on how to grow it.

incorrect my good sir, knowing about the plant can only assist you in your quest to grow it. How can you expect to accurately tailor the nutrient regime if you don't know anything about nitrogen mobility, RUBISCO, or ATP synthesis?
there are hundreds of examples like that, but more knowledge can only lead to more success

tHINK fAST sumbudeh!
What are the hormones located at the apical meristem that direct the plant toward the source of light?
I'm sorry, all the questions concerning cultivation that I think of are EXTREMELY easy, but I still like the idea of quizing each other...we could learn a lot still..

Seems like a decent analogy here would be Jimi Hendrix, a self taught guitarist, knowing all about the wood used to create the guitar. He doesn't need to know that to produce a song. I don't think trip needs to know about the auxin development and all the hormones involved with it. I don't know the answers to a lot of these questions either and I gotta tell ya, i dont really care. I need to know the basics FIRST then fill in the missing knowledge later on. I could go on but im tired of rehashing that point. lets not forget they are just starting to get into this hobby and it's not a profession.

It is a lot harder to ask "how to write a song/how to grow a plant" questions than "how to write music/how do plants grow" questions. The latter is less broad.
Plant science might not have everything to do with growing, but it can be good to understand their nature and structure. Simply growing them is pretty easy, but understanding how plants grow themselves can be a fuckin trip to learn about.\
Here's another sciene question.
What are the four macromolecules that are used by all plants?

Thats not what the test was supposed to be about though. Its called N00B test for a reason. Not Expert Test.

Because understanding what the plant is synthesizing and when can assist you in tailoring certain nutrient regimines/lighting/ventilation requirements to fit your plants. Molasses for example, if you didn't know that plants literally photosynthesize sugar in their cells you might think it's useless, but with that knowledge you understand how it's a beneficial growth additive.

And yes you do, in your growlog I referenced the exact function of the cotyledons to help you figure out when to start nutrients. have you already forgotten?

I just look at it this way, why would you NOT want to know? How could knowing possibly make you a worse grower? it can't. simple as that.

Yeah guys go easy it's a noob test it's not supposed to be hard or teach you anything.
And so I can join in the fun heres my question. A plant is 3 weeks old, it is healthy and green on top but some lower leaves show yellow spots and the worst have rust spots and are curled up at the tips. All the stems look healthy but the effected leaves veins are dark green. What is the problem and what do you need to check to fix it.
No googleing or searching here, go

Yeah, these qustions are way beyond "n00b" and have nothing to do with cultivation, but there is some hope:
I have a good one that is for "advanced" n00bs....
Question: What is the optimum temperature range (in F) for vegging plants during the light cycle? During the dark cycle?
A follow-up question related to the last one: What is the best light cycle for a plant in vegetation mode? In flowering mode?
Now back on Topic,

well it WAS stupid because it was originally designed to find out whether you or FBD knew more about cultivation. Having us quiz you so you two could have an imaginary cock waving contest about who was least n00bish IS stupid, but now that we're entering the realm of general knowledge and information on plant physiology I think it's far less stupid. It's not a competition now, it's a forum for informational exchange and that's totally different.

I'm gonna re-noobify it real quick just to see them get some points on the board....
Describe what heat stress looks like.
Explain why High Pressure Sodium bulbs are ideal for flowering.

Yes! I agree! Great questions....
I would add on a little more to the second one by saying: "Explain why High Pressure Sodium bulbs are better than Fluorescent (CFL, T5, etc.) and incandescents for flowering"
And if they think incandescents are used for flowering, then we have to slap them for being so n00by....
