    Black (or is it purple?) on undersides of leaves

    Hey everyone. This plant, and the other one that are having this issue, have previously had a pretty rough go of it, but they re all still in veg, and I think I have the issues sorted. FWIW, I think I had soil borne critters and nute def(s). Switched to organic nutes, and watered with...

    I phrase the subject that way b\c my rooms are a hodgepdge of different shit, but they all have in common that they are soil (well, a mix of happy frog and pro mix with some rock dust thrown in) and I am using the fox farm 3 part schedule. This problem seems to start as brown or light brown...

    Something that I dont understand about PHing your water

    Ok, so I am not a total newb, but this is kind of a newb question really. I have seen many people advise others to get the little ph tester kit where you put the drops in your water, and the color it changes to tells you what your ph is.

    Moon Phase Planting - does it make a difference indoors?

    Hey all, Long Version of the question: I have read a bunch on planting by the phases of the moon. Not every site that advocates it offer explanations as to why one phase is better (for germing or harvesting, for instance) than another. When explanations are offered, they usually seem to...

    Where to Find Something to "switch" Air Flow in Ducting without Unhooking Ducts?

    Or even just what to call the fuckin thing. I know I have seen it somewhere. What I am thinking is a "Y" or "T" connector for 6" ducting that has a kind of lever or switch on it so that I can easily direct the air flowing through it to one of 2 different paths, without having to unhook and...

    Bagseed Plants, Considering moving outside

    I have a few plants that I grew from bagseed, in soil. I am now convinced that these girls are all an "outdoor" variety.
