    Re-using potting soil.

    So I've had this come up in threads before and recently it's been a debate topic amongst my fellow local growers. Have you ever had some damn good soil that just drained so well, but retained water for a perfect amount of time? Chopped a plant down and found roots have encompassed the entire...

    The science game.

    Sexy nugs here :) I've been recently able to switch from 130w of cheap China led's to 400w of HID (The 600w trips the breaker lol) so I'll hopefully be able to go from 90 grams to about 300 grams. My limiting factor is however height. 24 inches of usable height. Mainlining exclusively to...

    The science game.

    That is substantially beautiful. Outdoors has been my favorite when I rented from a grower aswell. In a small apartment I've been downgraded to a 2ft x 2ft x 3ft high tent as per the wifes request lol i can't complain because I get a 3 ounce harvest every 3 months from a single plant grow...

    The science game.

    I agree entirely. Here is a pic of some bagseed grown under a 300w (135w actual) Chinese LED that is ragged on by every forum. I found it at goodwill for 6$ as an experiment. I re-used soil from the previous grow and that fed it through VEG and gave it AIO Bloom by NPK Industries (8$) Maybe...

    Jar burping

    So if you live in a dry state like Colorado, you're fighting rapid/over-drying after harvest. So you've invested in environment control to really slow that dry down. You get a stem that cracks and it's ready to be jarred up! You slap a hygrometer in the jar to make sure you're not in that 70%...

    Scrog Virgin

    I agree, if you're relying on synthetics. All off the nutrients for an entire grow is present in super-soil. Why would I "waste" my limited supply by abiding by an arbitrary 20% statement that is irrelevant to say, super soil or even mediums in a hydrophobic state (Like dry peat, dry coir or...

    The science game.

    Welp shit. I love science lol I concur money has been the drive behind the bullshit but, when you look back has it not been that way for a while? Aside from religious purposes and the beautiful innocence of the hobbyists/enthusiasts here, my experience has been dealers making a buck off of...

    Scrog Virgin

    Is it lock-up or water logging? Because I can see how the drop in DO of setting water can be a problem but not lock-up. Usually my runoff evaporates in a day but it's not any more than a couple of cups.

    Scrog Virgin

    As many as you want! My first and most recent scrog were single plant scrog. 2x2inch trellis nettings were filled up in a month and a half veg to about a 3ftx3ft area. I did this outside and i feared the cold coming so I moved it inside and removed the scrog and ended up with coke can sized buds...

    Affordable drying chamber

    The most important week of your grow may very well the last, when they're not even growing. Far too many times has my tight living schedule interfered with arguably the most critical and sensitive process of quality cannabis. My main problem? Colorado is consistently low in humidity. My first...

    Fertilizer/Nutrient Cost breakdown

    DISCLAIMER. These were all calculated using the MSD(Manufactures Suggested Dosage) on their respective feeding charts. Averages were obtained by adding the high end of the suggestions and dividing by the weeks they were used. Those not stated as averages were calculated when over 75% of the...

    Fertilizer/Nutrient Cost breakdown

    Fertilizer Costs as per manufactures suggested dosage and Current price as of January, 2019. I'm going to stick with hydroponic formulas to make it easy and to help us get a generalized idea of prices. I will also keep the quantities/prices similar as one trying a new nutrient should not buy...

    Special air-cooled venting

    I have no room to attach ducting at all to the air cooled hood as the tent is actually measured at 31"x31" when I tried to duct with the 6" out the ducting collapsed. When I tried to exhaust the hood into the room and use the 8" to exhaust the tent, the intake and exhaust of the hood actually...
