    The Official House and Garden Thread

    Took long enough for me to update but the Shooting Powder is officially in the garbage. Even on the GSC and Grape Ape I still got a lot of foxtailing. Can't preach the greatness of Top Booster enough though. I know it's a once a cycle product but I am actually trying it twice on a Ghost Train...

    Raptor holding a bazooka riding a great white shark. Can something be more awesomely dangerous? I submit that there cannot.

    It very well may because they list the product for use the last 3+ weeks of flower, but I think it is due to timing of the last budding cycle. I have never used it with anything but Blue Dream which is known for foxy buds. I have Girl Scout Cookie (Forum Cut) and Grape Ape that I might try it on...

    **EASY DIY $20 BUBBLE CLONER** A PICTURE HOW TO!

    Nice. I have everything but the darts. I think I'm gonna spend the extra on a NERF gun. It's NERF or nothing.

    Lighting underneath the plant?

    If you are going to keep the lower branches side lighting is the way to go. However consider the fact that the brightest lights penetrate deeper into the bud causing denser more massive growth. For this reason allowing buds to flourish outside of the range of the brightest lights is arguably a...

    What're you spraying? (Foliar)

    Water. I figure rain doesn't have any additives, why should my fake rain.

    chiller or not?

    Never have water temp problems outside of a freak 103F day (happened 2 years ago, I live in Western WA. WTF!) I also find that once your girl is big enough her fan leaves do a pretty good job of keeping you reservoir cool. Another good call would be keep your air pump outside of the grow area so...

    Does hydro not produce smelly weed?

    The bud smell could be due to your strain or your curing process. Without proper curing its easy for your buds to smell like grass or nothing. Check out the Harvest and Curing section. Trial and error. Kind of weird that we want something so many people try to hide to reek so bad you can smell...

    Alright call it hype. I use it and I notice a difference. It's inexpensive and you only have to use it once per plant. Call me crazy if I notice a difference in bud size and density. Good talk.

    http://www.house-garden.us/bud-xl I figure the product website telling me it is derived from carbohydrates, vitamins B&E and plant extract is a pretty solid guideline. NPK just tells you the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It doesn't tell you the rest of the ingredients nor is it a...

    Res Top-Off Theory

    The theory that plants can uptake to whatever the needs means more-or-less that the plant will not under feed itself if the nutrients are offered properly. You take any species of anything and give it abundance it will take in more than it needs. Think of it like a fat person. As far as...

    New DWC Flushing Method What Are Your Thoughts?!?

    Couldn't agree more. If I let my roots dry out for 4-5 days the plants done. Why do anything after that you just starved it to death. Maybe go low enough in the rez where most of the roots are exposed but still have something to drink. Otherwise that I can't see this doing anything. I've had my...

    How many days do you flush in DWC?

    I ease back my nutes progressively the last 2 weeks. Last 3 days I go water only and low on the pH. (like 5.2 to 5.4)

    Watered with 3.5ph water.

    If you baby it and take her nice and easy, any plant can come back. The quality of the finish is the big question. No way to tell what will happen with that until you get there.

    Light burn or nute burn?

    This looks like some nutrient solution splashed onto the leaf when you fed her last.

    This first image you can see where the bud starts to stretch. This is not followed by swelling and result in less density. Straight up stem. This one shows how the buds leaves push out and extend. It starts to look like your tight bud leaves try to fan out. So instead of compact budding they...

    Day and night temps are usually between 68F at night and 78F on a hot day. 400W HPS and Blue Dream was my test strain. 3 Teaspoons to 10L is A LOT for Shooting Powder. I used 2 grams in a 5 gallon reservoir. DWC grow.

    It didn't matter if I used all three as directed or just the Shooting Powder/Top Shooter my buds were awful as a result. I use the Bud XL and the Top Booster (along with Aqua Flakes A+B) and it gets me the best results. I'll try to remember and post some pics after my lights come on so you can...

    The Official House and Garden Thread

    Just finished testing out Bud XL, Top Booster and Shooting Powder. Used them separately and in various combinations. The Bud XL worked great. Increased the size of buds without question. It's basically a carbohydrate substitute so it does as advertised. However I didn't notice significant...
