    Movable Vertical racks grow journal

    interesting. While looking around for metal structural components today I found this Bosch site that has a lot of cool stuff. I know you probably dont need anything like this, but it has me thinking. One of the bigger expenses seems to always be fittings. It doesn't seem like a lot when you are...

    Movable Vertical racks grow journal

    ok here are my thoughts. 1/ Like the use of metal structural - its commonly available and easy to work with. 2/ how the heck did you roll that pipe? do you have tube rolls? what are those rings and how did you fabricate them? 3/ I think I'd have made each rack detached, on castors so it can...

    Movable Vertical racks grow journal

    Dude! What a great idea! Thanks man. I've been fooling around with what to use for a rack for months. I didnt really like most of the ones I've seen. They either use expensive materials, some of which are hard to find locally (I live in the middle of nowhere,) or they suffer from numerous...

    autos not flowering and they are over 4 weeks old

    Well. I was under the impression they were "AK-47" auto - but the AK Auto might be "Afghan Kush". I'll go see . . . .(brb) Nope . . .this is what I bought, 20 of them (4 packs) and oly 9 germinated. They did send me another packet of 10 I think (I havent examined them closely, they added them...

    WD40 On My Exhaust Fan to Quiet It Down?

    I left out an important quality of wd40 - it evaporates - thats why many people use it as a lubricant me thinks. When they first spray it, it is indeed oily and slick - give it an hour or two, maybe even overnight, you won't find much of anything left of that application when you come back. And...

    autos not flowering and they are over 4 weeks old

    Thanks, ok so maybe hold off for a bit and see if things improve. I can do that. These were grown from seed,s, germination rate only 9 of 20 and 8 came up after planting. They really took off too, and seem bigger than other plants the same age. They have the vigor, the ones that did germinate...

    WD40 On My Exhaust Fan to Quiet It Down?

    WD in WD40 stands for "water displacer". It is not a lubricant, if you want to oil something like a fan use a light oil. I don't know how old you are, I guess its irrelevant, but I call it "sewing machine oil". Gun oil is the same thing, its also used on fishing reels. Grease will last longer...

    autos not flowering and they are over 4 weeks old

    I misplaced the calendar I wrote the actual date on, but I'm sure its closer to 5 weeks now. I remember due date should have been 2nd week of april. Thats 4 weeks away and only one plant shows anything. Based on my previous experience, I do not believe it is botanically possible to grow complete...

    New grow room - criticize at your best!

    hes right - i live in deep south and this is a big isue down here - the poor mans solution is a strong fan and ducting to pull air from outside house and then exhaust it back outside. lol i just read it was your dads house. heheh - well i guess you can explain that the money he spends on...

    New grow room - criticize at your best!

    OK since you asked - I am enamored with vertical growing. I would arrange all of the plants, and a few more around the outside edges of the space and hang the light inside a cool tube vertically, right in the middle. You are wrong (IMO) on your temperatures. 90 degrees will result in stretchy...

    SH Inc.

    I too have recently discovered Stealth Hydro. In the last few weeks I've bought a Mistic Cloner and (2) dual spectrum II (veg & bloom) lamps. I'd like to hear more about others using these lamps. It gets really hot in the southern states during summer, and something like this could be the...

    Many White Widow males . . .:(

    Heheh they're coming (the pics). Today I got my "Mistic Cloner" from Stealth Hydro. It looks to me like the coolest thing since sliced bread. The ultrasonic mister fills the tub with a spooky fog. It even has a red light. It's so hot here that my clone growth has been protracted. Hopefuly this...

    Many White Widow males . . .:(

    Thanks - I wondered about the heat/humidity thing. The last 2 - 3 weeks we've had no rain, high humidity, and temps have been running around 100F. However . . . My location gets a steady breeze and partial shade. It doesn't feel like 100, more like 90. As for "stress", the plants look great...

    5 of the best mindblowing strains, Day 1... LOTS OF PICS!! Daily Updates.

    LOL I'd be scared too! "Squeeze it till it pops"? I always figured I was just lucky when that happened. (I've trampled over a few) I've tried training mine before but didn't know how to do it. No wonder it never worked.:shock:

    Many White Widow males . . .:(

    I'm working on that . . . I'll try to get my son to take some and upload them. He has a nice camera and knows how to do all that. A computer I can handle - copy machines, cell phones, texting, etc - too much for me. Thanks for the reply tho. There wasn't any real need to kill them. I still...

    Many White Widow males . . .:(

    :cry: I started about 40 seed bank seeds this year. Out of 10 W.W.'s, I've culled out 6 males already, and 2 more look like they have tiny male flowers. That leaves 2 unknowns, and one of them is a stunted little runt. The odds of this happening seem low (intuitively and from past experience.)...

    5 of the best mindblowing strains, Day 1... LOTS OF PICS!! Daily Updates.

    Sorry to butt in here, but I didn't hear you mention how you were getting air INTO your room/tent whatever. It matters. If you are going to exhaust air at say . . . 300 CFM, you have to be able to replace that air (with fresh) at the same rate. Without an adequate inlet, your fan isn't...

    Help needed with fertilizer/pro-mix

    This is my first outdoor garden in about 20 years. I started some plants Miracle Grow potting soil and hated it within a few weeks. It's mostly wood products and sand, which compact very nicely due to the noticeable lack of perlite in the mix. I then tried something called "Jungle Growth" from...
