    Nutrient choices

    The latest run has been a run of change lol. I converted my totes from flood and drain (kind of lol) to low pressure nozzles (fake areo :o). Also started running H&G Aqua Flakes with very good results. I'm 30ish days in to flower and I notice that the buds are not really packing it on. The...

    Influencing flavour?

    Just had a discussion in another thread re: some nutrients affecting the taste, in my case negatively. In that thread, I believe a few said it was not possible to transfer taste to the plant using certain nutes. Has any one had a product that negatively affected taste? And if that was true would...

    What are the benefits of LPS systems?

    It seems like I spend more time building than growing lol. I started out a long time ago just doing outdoor grows. Switched to indoor 4 years ago in soil, then DWC, then all types of flood systems. I just switched to low pressure sprayers and am having a few newb issues. The seedlings really...

    Breeding beni's

    Just wondering if anyone had used microbe lift pl in their res. also was going to brew some tea but the stuff smells like a septic tank lol. Also it does say that it uses large amounts of DO. I use sprayers and floom, so that shouldnt be an issue should it? I've already started to add it to res...

    I think I'm retarded!!!

    Ok so started up my system today and used my new HM tds3, its reading around 600! Does this mean my tap water is 600 ppm? That seems a tad high when last year using a different meter is was 250ish. The meter says it reads in micro siemens so do I divide the reading by half to get appr. ppm's. Is...

    Aerogarden for starting seeds?

    Just pulled it out of the closet and was wondering if it would be a good thing to start the seeds in. Not sure what, if anything, can be used for the medium that I could move straight into the trays. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    First attempt at Aero, I hope?

    Just ordered a RO booster pump and am changing my flood and drain to misting. As the title says I am hoping this works and will be a design by failure, if something fails I redesign it lol. Just wondering if anyone has used a booster pump and has any insight as to how they work re enough...

    Pandora not flowering!

    Planted on the 1st of june, give or take. The two runts of the litter are budding but the two that are doing better (18" -24") have no buds forming, just pre-flowers. They got off to a terrible start with days of rain. Just wondering if others have had issues?

    How much longer???

    I see pics and questions every day asking how much longer so I thought I'd try a bit of an experiment. I am interested in hearing everyones opinion on how much longer this Kosher should go or is it past prime? I will not say how long its been under 11hrs of light until after a few suggestions. I...

    How long can they keep going!

    Just wanted to post this as a bit of interest. I had/have a few Kosher and two unknowns growing and the unknowns were taking much longer to finish so i cut the Kosher down about 2/3rds to where the hairs were still whitish. Its now been over 115 days at 12/12. I checked this morning and the...

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. It will be a stealth grow with limited visits. I will be growing...

    Res recirc question?

    Is it really necessary to recirculate water in your main res between floods? I run a continuos flood system now but am going to time it to see if there is a difference in growth so just wondering if I should add an air stone in it. If it is not needed I would prefer not to as I don't run any air...

    Please explain! I'm so confused!

    In the last two-three weeks of flower (depends on when I run out lol). On friday I refilled the res and decided to lower the ppm's so I went from 650ish to 450ish. PH'd to 6.3 added some enzyme (100ml per 100liter) and waited! The next two days the nutes fell slowly and PH plummeted, it was at...

    Watering Options Needed!

    I am planning an outdoor grow of auto's incase I run out. Sadly due to problems with my present run it'll be my last this season. I will probably be short so need a back up plan. Plan on growing in bags in the swamp. Its hard to get to and will only hit them once a week if dry. Would a wick...

    Think Different Advice Needed!

    I have ran out of time to start a new run before the heat sets in and indoor (shed) growing shuts down so I was planning on starting a few think different in side and moving them out around end of May, hoping that they will finish around 1st of July. Any thoughts about how to make this work? I...

    Another PH question lol.

    I have a couple of questions regarding my nute levels and fluctuating PH. I change my res every 7 days, it is 100 litres. I run a flood and drain style system with the 100 litre tote on the bottom and a 2.5' x 3.5' x 8" deep tote on the top. Water temp is 18-20c and is continuosly flowing 24/7...
