DO: Buy the best lights you can afford...
DON'T: ... um... tell anyone you're growing.

Very true... never tell no one that your growing... and the better lights the better plants... everyone wins...

Its good to fuck up 1 or 2 grows, i did, and it enables you to do this, to learn from your mistakes... and also it allows you to modify the growing area or stratigies if you need to.

Remember, you must fail to suceed...

Do u really think the DEA is scrubbing purchase orders to find out if there is someone out there that bought a 1000W HPS light and therefore must be searched to find out if there makin something bad in the eyes of the law? Come on, something like 80 percent of homeowners grow plants...and start the mass majority from seed inside the house. Personally I dought they would even waste there time, or even care. If they cared, they would close the mex/US boarder. I have found that some strains seem to make me more paranoid then others. Why is this? What can I do about that?

I've been using MG soil for the first time...I've never had plants grow like this.

All that Glitters is not Gold, the saying goes, I know.....

Can anyone tell me about the "dangers" of using MG ???
I've tried searching the forums, I've found nothing more specific
than "Ummm it's just BAD, mmmkay".

I'm a biology student, it's ok to use big words with me.
Anyone?

I'm going to take a quick stab at this one-

I think it's a brand association problem. The soil might be just fine. Not good, mind you; acceptable.

It's their ferts that are really poor quality and inappropriate for this type of plant. From what I can gather, your chances of ending up with a toxic salt buildup are pretty high with that crap MG peddles.

Since the ferts are so bad, everyone stays away from the soil too.

I personally don't use it either; whay bother, since you can get a big sack of nice organic seaweed compost for an even lower unit price?

This leads to another one of my DON'Ts:

Don't go overboard on the peat moss! Sure, it makes your soil nice and light but it has a pH in the 4-5 range, and after being in the pot for a while, if your plants haven't already died of pH problems (nutrient blockage), they WILL end up with waterlooged roots and be prone to fungus.

DO get really good dirt and mix it with some vermiculite or perlite. Good dirt makes bud taste better!
