High All, I have 2 PH meters (an EcoTest and a Hanna), and both do the same thing: I put them into a nutrient solutions that I want to test, and, in a minute or so, they stabilize with a reading. However, if I then swirl the end of the meter in the solution, the reading changes, sometimes a lot...

My whole crop seems to be suffering from something and I can't figure out what it is. I use an aero system with Botanicare nutrients mixed to their exact recommendations at 1500 PPMs, my room is 50% humidity at 78 degrees, my water is RO, the light is 430 watt SonAgro and a 1000 watt PlantMax...

Here, attached, are some pics of a new light reflector I made from stuff I bought at Home Depot. It measures 3' x 4' and has mylar glued to the reflecting surface. Total cost about $80, works great.

High all, Maybe someone with more knowledge than I have about this subject can help me think about it: Because of space, heat and time constraints, I want to have a continuous grow of 8 plants, that is, when the plants I have in bloom are ready for harvest, another 8 clones are ready to take...

1.) My aero rez is running a little warmish ...would adding an airstone bring the temp down? 2.) If I germed a seed at the same time as I cut and started a clone, would they essentially end up hitting veg at about the same time, all other things being equal? Thanx, bob

High all, I am growing several strains via the StinkBud method (aeroponics), using Botanicare nutrients, and all of my plants have the same problem -- the lower leaves have spots and/or dead areas at the leaf tips. This same thing has happened during several grows and across about a dozen...

My seedlings are 9 days old now and doing well in a Stinkbud type aero system, and I'm wondering when to start nutrients and how much to increase per day. Anybody have a rule of thumb or guideline for this? Thanx, Bob

As per StinkBud, I've been using Botanical nutrients. I initially bought in large quantities and am now using some that are about a year old ...I'm starting to wonder if they are getting past their sell date. I emailed Botanicals w/ this question and they did not respond. Anyone know if and how...

I've been using it but I don't know if it's doing anything, and, man, is it expensive. Am I wasting my money? Thanx to all, Robert in Arizona

1.) Can you add a little olive oil to hash to make it softer (without adversely affecting it)? 2.) If you buy fem seeds for a specific strain from a grower and like the result, will you get the same genetics if you buy regular seeds for the same strain from that same grower and just grow the...

High All, My plants are getting close to harvest -- all the trichomes are either clear or cloudy, and I have been reading lots of different information about when to harvest. My intention was to harvest when about 1/3 of the trichomes are amber, but I'd like to hear from some of the experts...

Here's what I don't understand: All the research I've done tells me that the way to get hash from trimmings is to dry them out and then strain out the trichomes using ice cold water -- the bubble bag method. But I have what is pretty much bud material, rather than the typical leaf trimmings, and...

I have just discovered a hermie has fertilized my whole crop. I'm about 5 weeks into flower, that is, 4 weeks from harvest. Should I let the crop continue to grow and just accept that there will be seeds in all the buds, or harvest everything now?

Can i get some suggestions for good producers w/ a high CBD content? Thanx, Robert in Arizona

Hi, I have 7 strains that are about 3 weeks into flower and I would love to experiment with breeding some variations. All my plants were started from fem seeds, but I was wondering if any of the seed companies -- or private individuals, for that matter, -- sell pollen. Anyone know about this...

I know I read somewhere a great way to make a cheap vented light tube but I can't find the thread again. The author used inline bathroom fans and a glass cylinder used for candles from Walmart. Anyone know where the directions are? Thanx, Robert in Arizona

Hi, I posted a description of some problems I am having w/ my grow (2/12 @ 6:00 PM and 9:04 PM) and have yet to receive a reply that seems appropriate. I have since changed rezs and reduced the ppm to around 1600, but the problem remains in 5 of my 7 strains. I have posted some new pics and I'm...

High all, In my grow I am using a modified StinkBud system -- basically I'm using all RubberMaid 18 gallon totes for everything, rather than PVC fence posts for the flower stage. The totes are black, but I have painted the tops white with paint that has been enhanced w/ titanium. According to...

High all, The older fans leaves of several strains of my grow (Vanilla Kush, Orange Bud, and the Ultimate) have developed a problem that I can't seem to diagnose. I've included some pics below. I'm using an aero grow system ala StinkBud with Botanicare nutrients, ro water for the rez w/ nutes at...

Hey All, Despite what StinkBud says about RubberMaid totes not leaking, mine leaked around the edges a lot, but I found a way to stop the leaks: Apply a thin layer of vaseline or axle grease to the top edge of the tub, then apply a bead of silicon caulk to the inside rim of the lid where the top...
