Simple tasks such as picking up dead leaves and sweeping up debris shouldn’t wait until piles have accumulated. It’s a daily process that requires due diligence and leaves no …More]]> http://hightimes.com/grow/dan/4527?utm_source=rss_section_ Fri, 01 Aug 2008 12:12:14 -0400 http://hightimes.com/grow/dan/4527?utm_source=rss_section_ danny danko Story and photos By Danny Danko   WINTER Choosing Your Spots Winter is the perfect time to find new guerrilla grow spots. Where you choose to plant is by far the most difficult and important decision you’ll make. If you’re lucky enough to have secluded property of your own, by all means, plant there, however most growers will have to go “guerrilla” to get their crops. While we don’t encourage growing pot on public property, we …More]]> http://hightimes.com/grow/ht_admin/3906?utm_source=rss_section_ Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:50:10 -0400 http://hightimes.com/grow/ht_admin/3906?utm_source=rss_section_ HT Admin Story and photos by Danny Danko What Does “Organic” Mean? An organic product can broadly be described as any product that’s derived from a recently living organism. To grow organic pot means that your growing medium and plant foods result from natural sources and not synthetic salt compounds dreamed up in a lab. Organic particles are capable of decay or are sometimes the product of decay, unlike the chemical formulas designed to grow commercial crops …More]]> http://hightimes.com/grow/ddanko/3873?utm_source=rss_section_ Thu, 20 Dec 2007 13:26:35 -0500 http://hightimes.com/grow/ddanko/3873?utm_source=rss_section_ Danny Danko By Nico Escondido I hate to admit it, but the tides are turning. In fact, they have turned and there’s no denying it anymore. I remember my first growroom system (circa 1995) was homemade and featured a large Utz pretzel barrel as my hydroponic reservoir. For years afterward, I still preached the good word of handcrafted systems, using inverted Coca-Cola bottles as grow pods and hanging (eek) 100-watt halogens over sprouted bag seeds of Mexi mid-grade…. We have come so …More]]> http://hightimes.com/grow/nico/3846?utm_source=rss_section_ Tue, 27 Nov 2007 12:48:08 -0500 http://hightimes.com/grow/nico/3846?utm_source=rss_section_ Nico Escondido A common misconception of marijuana cultivation, especially among first-time growers, is that harvest time is like gym class in grade school—it’s still a class you have to go to but it requires less thought and more fun than an actual science class. Unfortunately, underestimating the final phases of a grow operation can be a very costly mistake when it comes down to grading the outcome of your buds.   Fatal errors in areas such as flushing, cutting and curing buds …More]]> http://hightimes.com/grow/nico/3684?utm_source=rss_section_ Thu, 20 Sep 2007 14:10:37 -0400 http://hightimes.com/grow/nico/3684?utm_source=rss_section_ Nico Escondido By Nico Escondido Many growers—even those with more experience and expertise—can make the fatal mistake of rushing into a cannabis grow op. The most important consideration when starting up a room, whether it’s a closet, bedroom or warehouse, is how you will construct the space surrounding your garden. Building your room is more important than the system you use, the method of growing you choose or the strains you grow out, because without complete control of your …More]]> http://hightimes.com/grow/nico/3620?utm_source=rss_section_ Thu, 16 Aug 2007 14:35:12 -0400 http://hightimes.com/grow/nico/3620?utm_source=rss_section_ Nico Escondido Story and Photos by Ed Borg If you’re having difficulties maintaining a high level of successfully rooted clones, I suggest the inexpensive and foolproof procedure developed by Amsterdam’s Delta-9 Labs. The cloning process revealed here was achieved using rockwool cubes; however, soil, perlite or coco mediums work equally well. Humidity, as we all know, plays a vital role in developing healthy rooted clones. If the humidity level fluctuates even by as little as 10%, it …More]]> http://hightimes.com/grow/eborg/1877?utm_source=rss_section_ Thu, 15 Mar 2007 12:57:10 -0400 http://hightimes.com/grow/eborg/1877?utm_source=rss_section_ Ed Borg By Graham Fisher (a.k.a. Nico Escondido) Many indoor growers, especially the small-time hobbyist or closet enthusiast, begin their grow operation focusing on strains, systems and lights, without considering one of the most important aspects of the growroom: electricity. Understanding the basics of electricity will help you harness this essential facet of cultivation. Why Power Is Important Light is the plant’s most essential food, and it’s essential for the …More]]> http://hightimes.com/grow/nico/1031?utm_source=rss_section_ Mon, 27 Nov 2006 15:28:20 -0500 http://hightimes.com/grow/nico/1031?utm_source=rss_section_ Nico Escondido
