    Culturing Beneficial Microbes

    If you're like me, you enjoy adding quality "benes" to either your soil or hydroponic system, but are dismayed at the costs. For a small investment, you can set up your own bene nutrient culture system. I typically like to add some Bacillus sp. bacteria (Subculture B by General Hydroponics)...

    Mixing Nute For Target EC

    So here's the question as I'm setting up my Ebb & Flow system: Tap water is great, nice & soft w/ a background EC of 0.5. Using Ionic Grow per the recommended concentration gives a total EC of 2.0, less the background of 0.5 for a net EC of 1.5....just about right, as I'm trying to hit and...

    Just cleaned out my pipe

    Ask a substantive question about cannabis cultivation around here, and you get the sound of crickets chirping in reply. Ask a dumb fuck stoner question around here, and you get three pages of replies. What's wrong with this picture? :wall: P.S. WHAT does this subject have to do with...

    Light Mover Pause Times: Opinions Needed

    Searching the threads on light movers, there's not a lot mentioned on pause times, so...who does what? I've got mine set for about a five second pause at each end as the light is fairly close to the canopy. Running 1000K on a large Adjust-A-Wing with a Light Rail 2.0 over 32 5 gallon soilless...

    Green light bulbs: do they truly not interfere w/ the dark cycle?

    I designed my grow room w/ auxiliary lights (3 incandescent fixtures) so I could have green light bulbs to light the room should I need to work in there during flowering. Only type available were the green CFLs from Home Depot; has anyone used green CFLs in their room w/ satisfactory results...

    DIY: pH Down - EASY!

    The thing about the commerical pH Up and pH Down products is they are formulated w/ buffers. For the cost, I'll stick to the commercial products.

    Micro Cloning - The most efficient and space-saving method of plant propagation

    Interesting, thanks for posting. For those looking to keep a large number of strains this looks great, but at over 200 bucks a pop for a tissue culture kit I'm sticking to the old fashioned method. Major growers would appreciate this system, but beware before diving in. This system calls for...
