just got some clones from the dispensary and put them in my ebb and flow table. i was planning on doing a modified SoG grow and start to flower them immediately. they are already rooted in rockwool. should i start out with the 12 hours of light for flowering, or go with 18 hours of light for...

It's my first harvest and everything was going good until it came to drying the buds. I hung them upsidedown with a fan circulating air past them until they were dry to the touch. I put them into sealed jars and checked them the next day to make sure they weren't 'sweating' and the jar was dry...

I'm checking out my trichomes and they are pretty much all amber right now, but I've only been running plain water for about 4 days now instead of the recommended 7 days. I'm just wondering if it would be better to wait the whole week before harvest or harvest now before the trichomes start to...

It looks like some of my buds are starting to get red hairs on them! I've read that I should harvest the buds when about %70 of the hairs on it are red, and that you should use plain water in your reservoir 1 week before you harvest. My question is how do I know when it's 1 week until harvest...

I've got a Spider Mite problem that I've been attacking for a couple weeks now. I got a couple pyrethrum bombs from the hydro shop and the dude told me to be sure that all of my fans are off in my room. My question is, shouldn't I leave my A/C unit turned on? It was 107 degrees outside today...

I'm almost in my 7th week of my first grow. I'm using a 2X2 ebb and flow table with rockwool cubes in hydroton pebbles inside a 272 cubic foot room. I'm using a 600W HPS that gets cooled by an 8" inline fan pulling air through the reflector and the temp stays around 70-80F with 50% or so...

Since this is my first grow I thought I'd try a few different growing techniques. I bent two of my plants to the side (1st pic) to try and make the sides turn into tops and also to expose a runt that was growing between the two. Kinda killed two birds with one stoner (heh). I also tried to...

I know that to begin to flower I need to switch the lights to 12/12 and change the nutes to bloom, but is there anything else I need to do? Oh and I got some FloraNectar from GH for free so I thought I might as well use it during flowering. Do I need to add that right away or like 1-2 weeks...

How important is it to get my ebb and flow table leveled out? It seems like it might be making a difference with my plants since the one that is on the high side of the table (lower water level) is shorter than the other plants, and the one on the low side (high water level) is the tallest? Does...

I'm starting my 4th week of my first grow and I need help with my nutrient solution. I've been reading online about how many PPMs to have your solution at for whatever week of growth. My problem is that I don't have a PPM meter and my spending limit has been reached so I will not have one for a...

They really sprang up the first week of growth, and it was only with 1/4 strength nutrients! I just changed to the full strength veg formula, but I was wondering if I needed to bury the rockwool a little deeper in the hydroton or if it looks good enough. Any thoughts?

Quick newbie question, do I take the plastic off from around the rockwool? I'm using some 4 inch cubes in an ebb and flow table with some clones.

My grow room is almost setup, but I just ran into a problem today. I've got it setup in a shed out back and I went in to check what I still needed and it was kinda hot in there already with nothing running yet. It's only 78 degrees outside right now, but the roof is made out of metal and it's...

Do HPS bulbs need a special light fixture, or can I use any old fixture for regular bulbs? I saw some HPS bulbs for sale at Home Depot for like $22 and I thought that would be cheaper than paying $400 at a hydro store. :)

I've got a hydroponic system that I bought about 4 years ago that I tried and failed to grow because of bad lighting. I'm looking at starting up again but I need to know if I need to clean it out or if I can just fill it up with water and whatever again. I'm not sure what type of hydroponic...
