    Hemp Con/Furthur, the last week of September

    Hempcon is a joke, so much so that I honestly feel like I was scammed. $20 to get into what was basically a very lame stoner flea market (do I really need to pay to look at 15 glassware vendors and a few t-shirt booths?), my friend and I had seen every single booth there and stopped at the only...

    Hey, sorry for the late reply, been away for a long time. I used some of the plastic from the tank (the portion I cut off) to fashion a 6" skirt which was then riveted to the inside of one of the aluminum members (which had also been cut off). Let me know if you're still around and still...

    DWC Buckets Foaming

    No way, go to the store and get some red food coloring, that's the hot setup.

    Aeroflo/Rainforest/Waterfarm grow idea, suggestions please.

    I can only address 4 and 5, hopefully someone familiar wit the rest of your system can chime in. 4 - yes you can just add water, though some would say you should maybe drop your nute level on your next Res change. 5 - you don't need to wait, just insure that everything is mixed well before...

    harvest advice

    I would advise you to check the harvesting and curing section here. There's an excellent thread on this topic. A very common mistake among new growers is jumping the gun, which is no good since buds pack on the weight/ resin in the final 2 weeks. When I grew WW, it really frosted up in the final...

    My new Pipe!!!

    That's beautiful, where did you pick it up - is there a company name associated with it?

    Should I run my water pumps at night?

    I use the same watering schedule for night as I do during the day, mostly because my cycle timer doesn't allow for different schedules. I am on day 58 of flowering in my first aero system - 2" netpots, no medium and things are going well. I am currently watering 1x every 15min since I am in late...

    Brown Algae, who's dealt with it?

    I have dealt with algae, and have had great luck running SM90 in my system. I'm not familiar with your sytem, is it possible you have light leaks somewhere?

    wow my new system is cranking it out

    3.26 grams per watt huh? Of course, sounds totally plausible. Where do I send my money?

    Yield Question

    Reasonably? With a SOG setup? Anywhere from 16 to 64 Oz per harvest, probably somewhere in the middle. There are way too many variables involved to give an accurate guess though.

    wow my new system is cranking it out

    Yeah, the first post seems a bit vague for someone who is actually growing in one. It sounds more like sales-speak than actual grower-speak "Wow! Look at the results product X is giving me!" "Boy, I sure do enjoy whitewashing this fence!"

    My first hydro grow w/pics, +REP to advice givers

    I agree with N!pples above - I'd cut watering to 2 or 3 times a day. IF overwatering is your issue (and I think it is), you should see improvement in a day. I watered my plants 7X / day when I first used RW, and they looked just like yours until I cut back to 2x. Not discounting the idea that it...

    Mold/Mildew Problem

    Left a wet towel is the grow area? That's felony stupidity right there, I can only imagine how that must have gone over with the grower.

    Medium pressure drain to waste Aeroponic system?

    I meant to add that I came up with a great idea for redundancy in the event of a pump failure - instead of using 1 pump running for 1 minute out of every 6, I will (once this grow is finished) run 2 pumps. Each pump will run for 1 minute out of every 10, but they will be staggered by 5 minutes...

    Medium pressure drain to waste Aeroponic system?

    I hear you, I dread res changes. Your reasoning behind MP sounds solid. With my LP system, drain to waste would kill me as I'd go through 15 gallons an hour easily (I feed once every 6 min, and have no medium whatsoever to retain water). I found my containers on Craigslist for $90 each. I...

    Medium pressure drain to waste Aeroponic system?

    Yes, I have. My system is not drain to waste though. I used 275 gallon food-grade syrup containers for my grow chambers. I am 2 weeks from tying up my first grow in it and things are working out in spectacular fashion. I built a 4" PVC system initially, but scrapped it after a week ($300 and 30...

    It okay to spray neem in flowering?

    This is one product that I will likely never go without again - it works great on algae, promotes root health, fights PM, was designed to fight SM (hence the "SM" - spider mites & "90" - year it was introduced). It costs about $21, but is worth every penny...

    My first hydro grow w/pics, +REP to advice givers

    It looks like you may be overwatering them. I did it initially when I started growing in rockwool. I ended up watering 2x daily, but I was in RW exclusively (no hydroton).
