    Recycling iso?

    I haven't tried it with ISO, yet, but I have done it with ethanol (Ever Clear).. I used an old pressure cooker and a homemade chiller with pretty good success... I was able to recover about 75% of the alcohol...

    $1400 Electric Bill for 1 Bdrm Apt (HELP)

    You're right. $0.20 a KWH sucks !!! But that's not even the max rate in Southern Cal... We recently decommissioned San Onofre Nuclear plant.. Now they are passing those costs on. I got a letter 2 months ago saying that rates were going to increase significantly !!! Here's what SDG&E...

    8 weeks Flowering I'm getting budworms??

    BT didn't work very well for me either.. I sprayed once a week with it and still got a ton of worms... I switched to a product called Monterey Garden Insect Spray. It contains Spinosad. It worked a lot better.

    Indoor to outdoor.

    Where I grow I have to use supplemental lighting to prevent my plants from flowering as soon as I put them outside. No matter what time of year I move them from 18/6 indoors to outdoors.. I stick them outside when they are about 2 feet tall.. Good luck to you !!

    has any one or know someone who has used or heard about the HighTimes mag. issue

    I built the stinkbud cloner. Uses the same timer you mentioned. I use mine set at 5 min off 1 min on.. 100% success rate. Never tried the full stinkbud system.. I prefer dirt. For me it's just less things to go wrong.. One thing I will say is don't try to use cheap sprayers. I tried the Home...

    Sleep

    I've been sleeping very poorly for years.. I finally got around to making oil. I guess you would call it QWET.. Buds washed in Everclear.. Now I dip a toothpick in the oil and ingest about a grain of rice worth about 2 hours before bedtime. I sleep more soundly than I ever have.. It's even cut...

    Veg questions

    I had it shining on 6 plants. They were all side by side in one row. The lights were positioned along the edge of my patio cover. It was approx. 8- 10 feet from the plant to the closest light.. Hope this helps you !!! Here's a link to the light...

    Veg questions

    I used an outdoor solar light from Home Depot to keep my girls from flowering.. Kept it on til they were almost 4 feet high. As soon as I shut it down they went to flower. The light had 3 flood lights and cost somewhere around $35.. Good Luck !!

    Coco coir - Watering tea recipe needed.

    I use alfalfa tea and Jacks 20-20-20 to water my plants in veg and bloom... Got a really good deal from e-bay on 25 lbs of Jacks.. The alfalfa tea I mix up myself in a 32 gallon trash can.. Plants love it !!

    Rick Simpson Oil >> Tincture

    I also made RSO recently.. Some really powerful stuff !! I used everclear and a homemade chiller and was able to reclaim 75% of the alcohol. At $30 for 1.75 litre bottle it adds up.. Using 8 0z's of bud I ended up with almost exactly 1 oz of oil.. I haven't tried diluting the oil with everclear...

    Putting clones right into flower outdoors?? new grower here

    I put clones outside every month until September. Usually have my last harvest in November.. The nights here are a little too cold through the winter as my outdoor spot is not very well protected from the wind.. But depending on your location and setup it might work for you.. I usually start...

    If that were true my aero cloner wouldn't have a chance..
