For veg its still all about metal halide For flowering it seems best to use both metal halide and high pressure sodium (metal halide will encourage sexy thc filled rock hard buds) (HPS increases total yield) this can be done at any ratio of your choosing higher % halide the better quality you...

I am starting to flower out some some big girls, but recently lost my batch of clones due to a mite infestation on them. What is the latest I can take cuttings and root them without having to worry that they are primarily flowering vs. transition phase? I am currently in 36 hours of dark to...

Thanks man. was a real real help. +rep in all aspects. If anyone else has other things to say about hydro-organic nutrient lines I am all ears. Always looking for a second / third / N+1 opinion

sounds pretty simple. i guess what was so off putting were the reviews about (for example) humboldts nutrients being chalky or chunky, some lines having terrible smells, etc. Have you noticed any odor problems with certain lines, or particular differences between synthetic and organic fertilizers?

alright, well I am pretty verse about the res stuff and ppm meter so thanks for that ;) but are you saying then that a mix of organic lines is better than sticking exclusively to one? Its a mix of humboldt and botanicare solely, (not that its a bad thing), but have you tried fox farm's organic...

to respond to the other people, to say that I should stick with general hydroponics defeats the purpose of this thread. While it is a good series, I think that organic is a better way to go and in no way is the GH 3 part conventional series organic. GH just released a line called "biothrive"...

I have read reviews that humboldts own "purple maxx" leaves an undesirable taste during flowering sometimes? could this be from improper flowering that I read or have you noticed any odd tastes in your bud?

Also, I have heard good things about humboldt and foxfarm nutrients. Does anyone have experience with both (or either) to verify these claims?

Have been using the General Hydroponics 3 part series in the past, but due to my recent love of growing, am in a quagmire about what line is the best, but hear conflicting results all the time. If your an experienced grower, please just write what line you prefer and why. Would help a lot...

lol thats exactly it thouhg. its your first grow. and secondly after reading up through many many articles, its pretty clear that breaking them stresses the plant, but if you give the plant time to veg and recover (roughtly 2 weeks for full recovery), it can do some nice bonzai creations. never...

also, yield for a church if you have for clones that are vegged 3-4 vs. 5-8? Like is it worth growing this strain out into bigger plants or better as small but many?

want to start pruning for a bonzai type mother plant to get perfect clones off her that grow vertical from horizontal branches. when bending leaves, i understand that having tension built over time they can get used to it, but are there any benefits related to growth hormone regulation in the...

unless your water quality is extremely terrible, 700 ppm is a very off number to have for ppm. anything above 200 is considered high levels. I would recomend anything other than that, its almost like the water is so heavy in metals that there would be more metals than nutrients. 700 ppm... wow...

That is awesome!!! well, my baby is not so much a baby anymore but a foot or a little over tall and getting bushy. should i wait to flower or will she get to tall? I am only growing 1 of her, and will take 2 clones before flowering to keep the genetics.

For an easy to do DWC setup without spending much, get.. - 5 gallon bucket preferably from home depot with a lid - 3" net pots - 3" hole cutter for electric drill simply cut the holes in the top that will allow for 3" spacing between net pots, (you can fit 4 if you drill the holes at the...
