    Airstone rant

    Yesterday I was at the pet store and I saw an airstone that was a flexible tube, rather than a stone. Said it can be bent into any shape, and bubbles come out of the whole thing. Sounded absolutely perfect for my little bubble cloner. So I bought it, went home and bent it into the shape I...

    Soil is Pro Mix Nutes are Dyna Gro Foliage pro, I feed 2 out of 3 waterings Ph going in and out are both in the 6.5-6.8 range 400 hps and 600 hps next to each other in a large closet. My leaves have been shriveling up and falling off lately. They normally do that in the end of flowering, but...

    Light stopped working. Ballast or bulb?

    I woke up this morning and my 600 wasnt lit, but my 400 was. The ballast has power, its internal fan is on, but its cold, and no light. Can I test it with a volt meter or does it need a bulb plugged in?

    How much weight before an automtic trimmer becomes worth it?

    Im a metal fabricator, and I could build a nice one out of shit i have laying around, without spending a single dollar. Ive watched the videos on youtube, and trimming by hand clearly does a better job. I have to trim a few plants tomorrow, about a half pound worth once its dry. I cant decide...

    Just failed my test and lost my job

    Im pretty disappointed in myself. Yesterday I started my new job making $24 an hour (fuck yes) and today I got fired for failing my drug test. I knew it was coming, I stayed clean for a week in advance, and I used the grape flavored "Omni cleansing drink" the morning of the test. When I was...

    Critique my watering method

    Soil is promix, I dont know its ph. My tap water comes out around 8, I let it sit for a couple days and it goes down to 7.6 In fresh soil, after a transplant, I use that 7.6 tap water, no nutes. The runoff comes out at about 5.5, and it goes up by about .2 to .3 every time i water. At this...

    Fan CFM ratings

    Im in the market for a new fan. Im looking at the 6" from HTG thats rated at 424 cfm, which sounds real good. I assume that rating is without any ducts attached, but how would it compare to a squirrel cage style blower once the duct and carbon filter are attached...

    Water feels slimy in my bubble cloner

    The water has been in there 5 days. Temps are from low 70's to low 90's. Ph is the high 5's. The walls, air tube, and the foam rubber plugs to hold the clones all felt slimy. Its a 1 gal tupperware bin completely covered in black duct tape. Is this algae starting? Should I add another...

    Closet build. 600 + 400 hps PICS

    My previous flower box was an 18"x34" scrog box with an air cooled 400 hps. Im taking over the rest of the closet now, which gives me 48"x60", and adding another light, a 600 hps. That air duct hanging there goes into my attic. At the other end are 2 inline fans that suck 24/7 and a...

    Questions - 400 and 600 Together

    I have 2 hps lights in my flowering room, 400 and a 600, both hps. I will have 2 flowering crops, a month apart, at any given time. Which crop should I have under the 600, the ones in the first month of flowering or the ones in the second month?

    Island Girl - scrog

    I bought some stuff called Island Girl a year or so ago. Never heard of it, dont know where it comes from, I do live on an island so it might be a local strain, I really dont know. Anyway, It was pretty nice and one of the buds had a seed in it, so I planted it. It grows nice and bushy and...

    Is there a How-to or FAQ thread on nutrient usage in general?
