    Need help with nutrients.

    If you have some extra bucks, buy some rocket pots (not smart pots) People still using plain old pots are living in the stone age... :/ Research them ;) Cheers Jimmy.

    1.2m grow tent overheating with 6" extracton and 4" intake fans

    4x4 tent, 600w HPS, cold intake air... you must not be pulling air out of your tent quick enough. If your exhaust fan is up to scratch, which it should be, then your little 4" fan is restricting the intake. Make sure you have a small fan to circulate the air around the tent and be sure to have...

    best way 2 reduce stretch?

    I used to use training methods to try and minimize stretch going into flower, but it seems it is as easy as light spectrum ;) You can either A - gradually lower the lighting hours from 18/6 by an hour every day until you get to 12/12 (mildly effective) or B - Instead of jumping from 6500K MH...

    Thanks Ben! I knew I had seen this technique used on a commercial/common level before.... the ol' vineyard ;) I was most likely to plastered on wine and rolling around with an equally plastered young vixen to remember ;) lol I love having fun with experimentation, stops my hobby getting stale...

    My nutrient schedule...

    Jonny is actually pretty spot on with reply ;) My recipe was based on my own testing from "Base line" to give me noticeable results with and without each additive. Sometime when a newb growers gets advice from a more experienced grower that says "Base nutrient, calmag, carbs is all you need"...

    My nutrient schedule...

    I was lazy and copied and pasted this from a previous post.... I use a very simple, non technical nute regime for my plants... all strains. It was give to me by a 'coco pro' and it works despite my previous experience and understanding of nutrients... I start with RO water.... (Added in this...

    Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas

    Hi Uncle Ben, Long time no chat, but I see you have PM's disabled now ;) I apologize if this is a little off the topic of 'topping for colas' but I would think you are a budding scientist with a thirst for experimentation and I was seeking perhaps confirmation through your experiences ^^ Ive...

    defoliation question..... anyone familiar with it?

    Thanks for the input Cute ;) I noticed this also. If I wanted the lower branches to catch up in height, I would start to defoilate along them from the bottom of the branch and it would push that particular branch higher just like lst but with accelerated growth, not slowed growth at all ;) I...

    defoliation question..... anyone familiar with it?

    Hi RIU guys, Turns out it is quite difficult to find a thread about 'defoilation' that has not been closed these days ^^ Ive been experimenting with defoilation for a few months now and just wanted to share some of my findings and theory as to why it has the potential to work quite well in...

    When and why and should i use cal mag?

    I'm happy you did the right thing with ventilation Bubble ;) Pulling two or three 6" ducts through a 10" fan via reducer is a good idea. I think they are getting going in the states, but I recently upgraded to a 'Whisper Silencer Fan' (not Panasonic) 8" fan to pull the air out of 3 4x4 tents...

    When and why and should i use cal mag?

    I never used to use Calmag for years, now I use it all the time ;) All mediums, especially coco :) 4ml/Gal in any nute mix or watering.... also works great as a foilar spray to help speed up recovery of any whoopsies... 4ml/Gal also :) Used to use GH... but found out Grotek is superior in...

    whats the best way to clone with root riot cubes?

    You can transfer the propagation medium to whatever growing medium you like really ;) It's just the way the roots develop in aero as opposed to peat are different in structure, thus the delay (more than shock) of the roots going "Hey, this feels different.. we need to change to suit this new...

    whats the best way to clone with root riot cubes?

    Hi again Thor, ;) Like said above, the method you use to germinate should ideally be related to the medium you wish to grow in. As as general rule... Soil/Coco = Starter cubes DWC/RDWC = Aeroclone or Bubble F&D = Rockwool The closer the propagation medium style is to the growing medium, the...

    Flowering time and flush

    You will always hear mixed responses to flushing.. some say flush, some say full steam ahead till harvest. Experiment and see for yourself, if you actually notice a difference or you notice the curing process is the difference, just experiment ;) My advice for 'flushing' would be to simply...
