    Sulfur For Bud Mold

    I'm having some problems with bud mold, and am thinking of giving sulfur a try. Can anyone who's used it offer any words of wisdom? How effective is it, what kind of burner you should use, are you better off just making your own burner... any thoughts? Thanks in advance, everyone!

    Week 11 flower in 3days

    I'm not sure what you're saying - those things are covered with trichomes! And what do you mean, "Week 11 flower in 3 days"? Is it 3 days shy of Week 11?

    New Super hps bulb keeps turning off after warm up?

    I've had that happen twice now with Eye Hortilux Super 1000W bulbs. The first time, I assumed it was the ballast, but by the time the new ballast arrived, it had stopped happening. A few years later (just a couple of months ago, in fact), I had it happen again with a different brand new Eye...

    Day 29 from flip (lights out) lots of pics

    Same here. I don't understand why anyone would need perlite. It's just a pain in the ass when you rinse out your coco at the end of the run. I use a blend of 35% coco coir and 65% coco chunks, and it's the perfect balance of drainage and retention.

    Did you transplant at around the same time?

    tell me honestly. how bad is this?

    You're fine. Even if the bleach didn't kill all the mold, it wouldn't hurt you unless you are allergic or immunodeficient. At most, it would have just been a small quantity of spores, and the worst that could have happened is that you might have been nauseous or had cramps and diarrhea. Eating...

    Droopy Plants Hours Before Lights Out

    OK. That helps. Thanks. Well, in most basic terms, what's happening is that the leaves are transpiring water faster than the roots are able to take it in. There are probably several reasons for this. First of all, the root systems never had a chance to develop. You went straight to 5-gallon...

    Droopy Plants Hours Before Lights Out

    I see at least 3 large fans in that one photo. Are they all running all the time?

    Coco growers

    What I do is use a a 30-gallon tub in the bathtub. I use the shower to soak it, then I use a home-made sump. I took a 2-foot long piece of 3" PVC, put a cap on one end, and then drilled a couple of dozen 1/2" holes. Then I used a tube of drain filter fabric to make a "sock" over the whole thing...

    First grow, mix coco or perlite in the soil?

    What did your friend say was "good" about it? Why did he think it's better than if you didn't add coco? Did he have a specific reason, like "it drains better" or something like that? What I'm trying to find out is this - what exactly is it that you want it to do differently than it already...

    Coco growers

    It doesn't matter to me, because i thoroughly rinse every brick I get anyway. I have a system involving a shop-vac that allows me to flush and drain 40 gallons or more, until it runs clean as tapwater. For the second question - I prefer coco in my coco. I don't see any reason to use anything...

    Did I kill her ?

    Nah, not necessarily. I was just curious, because the plant is so small. It's just not something I would have done, so I always wonder why someone does something I don't do. I might learn something!

    Is it time to switch to 12/12 ?

    Looks good! Might as well flip the lights now; it'll continue to try to veg for a while anyway. If you wait a week to flip, it'll all grow back.

    Did I kill her ?

    Nah, she's fine. Why did you defoliate?

    Day 60 flowering Picts... advice please

    What do I think? I think it's really bad timing for a vacation, but I'm sure that at the time you made your plans, you thought these would be farther along. So - you're locked into the vacation; nothing you can do to change that. Question is, are you better off chopping them now and taking the...

    Idk where to start. (If experienced please read)

    It's tough to get where you want to go starting from where you are. Indiana is a pretty 17th-century state; you do not want to get busted there. It can ruin your life in many ways, and a felony conviction for growing weed can make it impossible to work in the legal industry in other states or...

    First grow, mix coco or perlite in the soil?

    If it's your first run, I'd suggest you just keep it simple. That pre-mixed medium you're starting out with sounds pretty complicated already. Remember, each ingredient you add to your mix is going to change the overall characteristics of the medium. Right? I mean, that's why you're adding them...

    First time grower...is it ready?

    God, no!!! You've got at least a month, maybe a month and a half to go! You'll be lucky to be smoking that by Halloween. How long has it been in flower?

    Planting anxiety ugggh

    I do the same. Sometimes, I'll take the tip of a knife and dig a little hole in the medium right next to where the seedling is lying, and then use the toothpick to gently nudge it into the hole, root tip down. Then lightly cover it. That way you're not really handling the root. Remember, OP...
