Not sure if this classifies as a DIY or just a tip to make things easier. One of the problems I ran into when I started doing Hydro was pouring such small amounts of nutrients out of the bottle they came in. I only need to mix up 5 gallons of water to split between the two buckets. That works...

I've been a soil grower for about a decade now. Fox Farm soil and nutrients and I pretty much had the soil grown dialed in. Then a few months ago I decided to try Hydro. I'd thought about hydro before but it seemed more complicated than soil. My biggest problem with soil was that I had to...

So I understand the reasoning behind using black buckets because they really block the light but I worry about the amount of heat they absorb. Would it make sense to paint the outside of my buckets a flat white? That way I would keep the light proofing of the black plastic material but the...

I've been growing in soil for about 10 years now and have always used FoxFarm for both soil and nutes and it's always worked well for me. I've built up enough of a stash so it won't kill me if I screw up a harvest or two so I decided to give hydro a try. My requirements were something simple...

So after about 10 years of growing in soil I recently decided to try my first hydro grow with a DWC bucket. The first plant I setup I used a lid that had the net pot built into it. I decided that for my growing style it actually made more sense to just cut a hole in the bucket and drop the net...

I've been using some Home Depot cabs for my Mother and Veg cabs but they were only 24" wide which was just a little bit on the small side so I built some new ones out over the weekend. I am not worried about either light or odor control. Here's what the cabinets look like from the outside...

My timing was off on this one and I had to keep these two in my veg cab longer than I had planned on while I was waiting for the flower cab to free up. From the marketing materialG13 Labs – Purple Haze (feminized) – from seed http://g13labs.com/feminized-g13-labs-cannabis-seeds.html...

My Hashberry/Lockdown cross after 66 days of flower. HBL before the chop Bud shot Macro shot of the trichs This is just me getting the bud off the plant Then I go through and get rid of fan leaves and stems Now for trimming, the spin trimmer Top off, looking down at grate...

Took another sample from the HBL, still to clear. Day 60, figure roughly another week. This is the sample under my microscope The field of focus is very short so I look at the thrics at different focus levels. Shot 1 Same sample, just changed the focus depth

Took a sample from my HBL tonight. 60 days into flower. Nice and frosty but still too many clear.

Some photos from my latest grow. Click image for full size. LSD LSD trich shot under microscope. Still hasn't frosted up like I want. Hashberry/Lockdown Cross (HBL). This is my "house" weed. Been growing this strain for about 6 years now. Bud Shot Very close Bud Shot. Larger...

Been playing around today and this is what I came up with. Click on any photo for full size (1600*1200) This one was my favorite so I'm using a larger thumbnail. This is off my Hashberry/Lockdown Off my LSD Also from LSD From my Hashberry/Lockdown Extreme close up of Hashberry/Lockdown

Looking for recommendations. I've got a decent digital SLR for photos that I've even set up with a custom white balance for HPS that shoots 3888x2592 images. I've also got a USB microscope that can grab 1600x1200 stills. All of which get's hosed when I attach to a post. Now either images is...

Here's a shot of the trichs on my LSD Starting to show some amber but still a lot of clear. I'm thinking 2 more weeks.

Here's what I'm smoking tonight. I vacuum seal my weed and cracked open this one tonight that I harvested a little over a year ago. Package date is when I vacuum sealed it. Ready to be opened Nice little bud waiting inside. Won't be seeing many more this size. I switched to using pint...

So I was cleaning up this evening when I came across this: Actually I came across three of them but they are all identical and weren't labeled. I haven't used the tab method of vacuum sealing for at least 18 months so I know it's that old but it could be older. What's also weird is that they...

Just wondering why photo size is limited to 800 pixels? I know there has to be a limit but could it be 1,200 or 1,600 pixels?

I've had a couple of people ask me about how I do clones. I started growing back in 2006 and was a member of the HG420 forum before it disappeared. One of the old timers on the forum taught me this method and it's never failed. Might not be the fastest but it's easy and reliable. I figured...

Doing two strains from clones and two from seed for my current grow. Here's the seeds just poking through. I started them using the paper towel method and moved them to the Rapid Rooters yesterday. Pineapple Express Purple Haze Last of the free seeds from my last order.

I'm going to be traveling more and have been thinking of moving to a Ebb & Flow system. All the kits out there seem to be for a much larger size (6-12 buckets) than I have. My tent is 2x4 and I usually only grow 2-4 plants at a time. Are there smaller linked-bucket systems out there?
