Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to create Moroccoan style hash? Specifically I'm interested in kif separation. What do they put over the bowls, how do they prepare the bud? I know there's a silk screen followed by dried bud. What's wrapped around that? Just cloth, and what kind...

Hey all, I'm putting together a small NFT using 4" vinyl fence posts. I'm trying to seal most of the system, and am opting for 1-1/4" PVC for the drain pipes. I thought I'd connect the PVC to the end of each run using a PVC flange, however the flange is 5" in diameter--even smaller PVC pipes...

Nice, that's a good specimen for sure. I had a few leaves like that earlier in my grow and backed off the nutes. Also indicates that nitrogen might not be my problem (or it's not quite as bad). I've attached a photo for further inspection. Additionally, if it is a little nitrogen toxicity...

Yeah that sounds great, really glad that will work out for you! Every room has a kind of "ideal" configuration, and it sounds like we're getting close. Actually everything above I learned in a course called "transport phenomena" I took in college, and designing large rack mount computer systems...

You want your air flow over the plants to be more like wind--a little chaotic. It will help distribute heat more evenly, but also, if you were constantly blowing a plant in one direction, its leaves would catch the wind and turn on their sides--away from the light. But that's for your...

I'd alternate the filters with the lights, keep the filters closer to the plants and lights to more rapidly remove odor and heat. Right, your normal fan is usually an oscillating fan so you're not constantly blasting all your plants in one direction. And the filter fans are the inline fans...

Hey yeah that looks like a nice space there. As for cooling. I assume you have some form of intake (can be an active intake with a fan or just an opening somewhere). Keep intakes low, outtakes high, and place outtakes opposite the room from the intakes if possible. Imagine sucking cooler air...

Sounds like you've got all the right equipment, guessing you're talking inline fans, CFM matched to the filters, etc. Have you tested how hot the space gets? One foot might be a little close. I run a single 600W and I'm keeping mine at 18" - 24". Any closer and I can start to feel the radiative...

While I'm just now entering flowering, this grow has been really breezy so far other than this little bit of clawing. Chocolope is apparently a good sativa strain for beginners, and takes well to indoor. Definitely understand the imbalance issue. Something interesting is that I have one plant...

I helped my brother grow in soil years ago and had the opportunity to see several grows all the way, learned all the basics and got to see what works, what doesn't. I'm just now 1 week in to flowering my first hydro grow ever and growth rates, node spacing, lusciousness of the plants, seem...

NP, I never mind shootin' the shit. That sounds like a pretty reasonable technique to start with--spray isn't as likely to drown your seedling for sure. And keeping the number in mind is a nice approach--again, always numbers when newbie growing--even if measuring them yourself, it allows you to...

Best of luck. I'm a really new grower myself and am going for a somewhat challenging hydro technique, and I've managed to do very well based purely on reading online and books. Take advice on boards with a grain (make that a chunk) of salt and try to cross-reference with other materials. The...

I don't think there's much difference whether you wait to put them in or not, other than having even more exposed tap root to damage. Stay away from the nutrients for sure, the seedlings are self-sufficient for a while and are very sensitive to nutrients. I'm a hydro grower, but others can fill...

Sounds like a typical distribution of crackin' times to me, in the last couple batches of seeds I always had a couple quick-starters and the later ones took a couple days. When I was a kid I had a science class where we tried germinating hard-shelled mimosa seeds using over a dozen techniques...

Tips are just fine, absolutely no spotting or burnt edges or any other signs of stress. The clawing doesn't progress past a certain point--basically the leaf matures in to a clawed formation and stays that way. Leaves are green and generally very healthy looking except for the claw. This is only...
