    Full spectrum COB question

    LED gurus I have an opportunity to pick these lights up new for $60/per. Some quick internet research seems to indicate they were released sometime around 2017/2018 ish and were initially priced between $699 and $999. The company is no longer in the grow light business...

    Dimming 1000w DE bulb

    I'm going to be gifted a few Phantom 1000W DE ballasts. With only 8ft ceilings to work with, I suspect running them at 1000w would be far too much. Conventional wisdom says that dimming SE HPS bulbs negatively impacts spectrum. Would I encounter similar issues with dimming a 1000w DE bulb to...

    Mack's DTW auto watering system

    I am running a DTW coco setup for the first time. Just a simple four plant setup for now to get a feel for it. So far, all has been going well with hand watering a few times a day. Now that I am just about ready to flip them, I thought it would be nice to get more feedings in as flowering...

    First timer SCROG question

    I currently have several plants under screens and a veg light schedule. The leaders for each plant are just starting to poke through the screen. My question is - when do I flip to 12/12? Do I do it soon and use the stretch to fill the screen or do I want to wait for a bit and start to weave...

    Sickmeds - great service!

    I have been considering trying out a few of the strains offered by Sickmeds based on some grow reports from others on this board. After conversing via email with Reddog about their offerings, I settled on ordering a 10 pack of Wonder Kush and a 10 of Psycho Crack. I sent a payment to Reddog...

    Starting seedlings out in coco - procedural question

    After many seasons of growing outdoors, I finally encountered some rippers this season. This made me mad enough to finally decide to move indoors. After lots of reading, I have been convinced to give DTW in coco a shot. One thing that hasn't been discussed (that I have found) is the starting...

    Dispensary mother plants

    I inherited a few plants a month ago. Supposedly, they were former mother plants which makes sense as they are about 4' tall and have tons of small, bushy branching caused by the heavy harvesting of leaders for cloning. I have put them in the ground just to see what is going to happen. Anyone...

    Identify this problem?

    One of my plants is looking poorly and I would welcome insight as to why. Of the 15 total, this is the only one looking like this. All have been treated equally and the rest look decent. I have consulted the typical troubleshooting charts, but can't seem to find anything that looks quite like...

    Mack's Dr. Greenthumb Iranian G13 Outside Grow

    Hello RIU'ers! Living in northern New England and having a short growing season means outdoor growers need to be careful of what genetics we pick up. Typically wet falls coupled with frost showing its face around the first two weeks of October coupled with too long of a flowering cycle =...

    Drying help with dehumidifier?

    I have had my plants hanging for a week or so in the loft of a barn on my property with a fan on them 24/7. Although they are getting drier, the weather here in the northeast is not helping. We are on on our second plus week of mostly cloudy/rainy weather. Even on the sunny days, the humidity...
