    COMPOST TEA!! exp:?????

    I would only brew it for 18-48 hours under heavy aeration (like the jets in a spa). After about 36 hours the beneficial organisms use most of the food and need more (fish hydrolysate, or whatever you use) or will die. As far as using it you would need to keep the tea aerated and keep adding...

    Push air or pull through the lights?

    Ive always thought it was better to have the fan near the exhaust pulling the air through the lights, but my friend thinks it should be the exact opposite placing the fan near the intake. Say one was going to put 4 1000's in a 15ft x 15ft room and use 1 8inch 750 cfm inline fan per 2 1000's...

    questions about soil mixture

    I like to use fox farm ocean mix with about 20% big and chunky perlite added. All ph balanced and ready to go. I like to add a good soil drench a day or 2 before planting of maxicrop liquid kelp and fish hydrolysate / fish emulsion(50/50) , mix per directions, and aerated in a bucket with a...

    First grow 600watt hps very limited buget unknown strain

    Hmm. The tips turning color looks more like nutrient deficiency/ burn then over heating. Do you PH your water before feeding? That or a nitrogen deficiency could cause the yellowing and burn-like symptoms. Did you cut out nitrogen completely? They still need some, like an NPK ratio of 1-3-2...

    fox farm ocean forest soil

    You will be fine. I have put many a sprouted seeds into ocean forest mix. I only use super thrive at a light dose for first watering, then plain h2o for about a week, then a compost tea spray and soil drench, and light organic veg nutes from there. (liquid kelp, fish hydrolysate, gh...

    First grow 600watt hps very limited buget unknown strain

    Nah, they look ok. How often are you watering though? They look possibly a little over watered. Causes droopiness. They will love the 600w, I would just put that in now on 18/6 or what ever your running. Start it high maybe 24-30in away and work it lower each day till you find the spot...

    molasses in hydro???

    I like the floralicious plus. Its pretty concentrated and contains humic acid n other good stuff. I use both the flora nectar and molasses for different things. I dont know if I would buy the nectar again (probably going with advanced nutes) but it has worked well for both soil and hydro. I...

    400 + 600 hps lights or 1000 light, which?

    I'm running two 400's in a 2.5 x 5 ft area. One is a ceramic metal halide and one is an hps. I want a 600 hps to run with the 400 cmh though, think I would get much better results.

    Help with ebb and flow flow tray size

    Get a bigger tray. Or maybe use two of those in that space. Might be enough to get you that 500g, but your going to need to be on top of your game. Yea and def. get coolable lights, a good fan, and maybe a/c in that space. Im working with two air cooled 400's and two T5's in a 5x9x8 space...

    Problem with my Cola?

    Better pictures? Is it hot near the top? I cant really tell whats going on.. Some of the leaves look like they are curling inwards. That could be too much nutrients or too much nitrogen I believe. What nutrients are you using right now?

    How many plants in a 4X4 ebb and flow tray?

    yea yea I like 4 per sq ft. Start flowering young and trim lower branches. Like 3-4 weeks for rooting and veg, then should be ready. Only i tried to root clones in the tray and 64 went down to 44, heh. lesson I learned: Pre-root clones and make more then you need so you can pick healthiest.

    LST and trimmed 5gal's and single cola style kids

    Here they are at 3 weeks. The smaller kids are a week behind (took 14 days to show first flowers). They're catching up in height though. Should make for a good canopy. Been using 4 1gal jugs and a 2L with suger/yeasy for co2, not sure if helping but plants seem to be growing fast and are...

    all about my WW trichome

    I have never grown WW before, but by the looks of the picture I'd say maybe another week or so. I like to wait till about 10-30% amber trichomes. Your looking like 30% clear 70% milky(white). They should start to turn amber soon. Maybe harvest when you start seeing amber... More amber...
