Hi, I emailed Canna with a question about using their coco medium along with their coco nutes. Their recommendation was to use a flood to waste system. This would not be a convenient setup for me and I really need to use a more "typical" recirculating system with reservoir. I don't know where...

I have been told that Canna nutes far surpass all others when it comes to hydro setups. Have others found this to be true or what other brands have you used with which you were very pleased with the results? Comment on ease of use, shelf life, etc. or any problems with salt build up etc. Also...

Oh great wise ones: :lol: I would like to construct a top feed system using pots filled with hydroton or a mix using it and something else. Is there a better medium to use besides hydroton by itself as far as, perhaps, PH buffering etc. Seems like I read something once about mixing the...

Hi, I intend to use a digital ballast to run an enhanced spectrum HPS for flowering. With other digital ballasts you can use both HPS and MH bulbs with the same ballast. I would like to use it for vegging as well but can't find any 600W MH bulbs. Does anyone know if they exist and where to...

I am going to start from seeds and then transfer to rockwool cubes in an ebb and flo system until preflowers appear. I realize that it is somewhat strain dependent, but can anyone give me an idea of what size cubes to use that will allow the plants to reach preflowering stage? How big can I...

I have designed an ebb and flow system using 8" slab trays fitted with covers with 4, 5" holes in each cover (American Agritech products) . I intend to use 5" mesh pots for maximum root aeration. The covers will prevent any light from reaching the roots. I will either use rockwool cubes or...

V\I would like to try to grow two strains in the same ScrOG....One "flavor' for her (med user) and one for me. The 2 I've chosen are White Russian and Kali Mist. Is it feasible to attempt such a thing since they appear to be so different in their phenotypes? The setup is a top feed...

Hi, I have been reading a couple of growing guides to plan a growing area and starting from seed. there is always a section dealing with "preflowering". It is my understanding that sometimes with the naked eye, but surely with a small magnifier, you can detect small "preflowers" at...

A simple question: I am seeking opinions on whether feminized seeds are worth the added cost. Thanks

Does anyone have experience with digitalballasts to verify if they really meet claims of increased efficiency and lumen output? TIA

Hi, I have a relatively open space in which I would like to grow. It will be divided in the "usual" clone/veg area and a flowering area. I would like to have it be as flexible and "reconfigurable" as possible. That means sealing or containing light from a 24/0, 18/6 photo period and a 12/12...

I am aware of the "inverse square law" but am considering a very small grow to start (2' X 3') My intention was to use an enhanced spectrum 400W HPS (e.g. EYE Hortilux). Is this enough or should I go to the 600W boy :grin:? My intention is to grow aeroponically as I do have some...
