Throw some dandelion leaves into the compost pile. I've even dried the leaves and ran them through a coffee grinder and added them to the soil like any other amendment. Dandelions are awesome, and lucky for me, they comprise about 50% of my yard! Don't take the flowers or seeds though, just the...

I guess I should have been more specific. On some strains in 1 liters I veg for up to a week, others I just give them a few days. It just depends on the height of the cut when I flower. With the 1 gallons I do plan on a longer veg time (I have started taking cuts earlier to account for the extra...

I don't want to mess with that many plants anymore. I am gonna veg them for about a week or so, depending on strain, which I do with the 1 liters anyway. I am gonna do some two liters just to try them but I don't want to water them that frequently, to be honest. I want to stay in organic soil...

Good looking crop! Especially for a 1st one. DWC buckets are the shit; however, I am, and probably will always be a soil man. I just love getting my hands in the dirt, ya know? Here's my logic: If I am getting between 7-10 grams per plant off a 1 liter container under CFLS, If I triple the size...

Hey gang, I am making the switch from CFLs to HPS, I currently run a Dr. Bud style perpetual SOG with CFLs. I've gotten great yields off this system and as I make the transition into better lighting, I would like to keep a similar system but with bigger plants. What I plan is: Strains: Grape...

Here's that citation again, I am sure you can find the article by googling the URL Ji, Yunfen & Wolsey, Robert. "Dimming Systems for High-Intensity Discharge Lights" Lighting Answers, Volume 1 Issue 4, September 1994. http://www.lrc.rpi.edu/programs/NLPIP/lightinganswers/pdf/view/LAHID.pdf...

I cited a study (like, a scientific one) in an earlier post that illustrated how when higher wattage HID lights are used on a lower setting (for example, a 600 watt set at 50%, so it acts as a 300 watt) the efficiency of the light, the longevity of the light, and the spectrum of the light are...

I'll snag some pics and upload them in a few days. The air will be pulled in from my bedroom, which in the summer time heats up pretty hot, but I have an AC unit that cools the room down. The circulation in the tent is already much better as compared with my cabinet before, and my temps are a...

I got the tent in the mail yesterday and got it all up and running. Using a 150 CFM PC fan as eshaust right now, still using the CFLS in the tent, just attatched the lights to a Afro-engineered fixture till I get my HPS. I am gonna buy a fan next, I am thinking a 440 CFM one and use a fan speed...

Are those the LED bulbs that screw in to traditional sockets? I have seen those, and had wondered about their potential for cultivation, for some time now, but never found anything when I researched the subject. I am glad someone decided to try it. Definitely don't have the 400 for that though...

Oohhh, good thing I ordered the tent first, not the lights. Damn, I thought i was gonna save myself some $$$$ down the road by dimming the 600 watt but it sounds like, from what has been said on this thread and the research I just did, that doing so would actually cost me in the long run, in...

I already ordered the tent. It'll fit perfectly and I can use a large TV box to disguise it, throw a sheet over it and bam! Just some boxes in storage. It'll be right by a vent I can exhaust the air through. Sneaky snake, and better. Gonna go with the 600 watt hps cool tube, run it at 50% until...

I do 1 Liters (6 per tray, one tray every 25 days) at between 7-10 grams per plant. Hoping to get up over a 10 gram/ plant average next harvest though, and once i start running some better yielders. Anyway, I have a basic 6 inch fan, I think it does 150 CFM. Got a couple follow up questions: On...

Thanks for the idea Johnny Retro, I really like LEDs and I think that in the future (when they become cheaper AND more stronger) I will totally go with that route for a small scale. However, I am trying to get the tent and the lights for under 200 dollars. Desolation, thank you as well for...

Thinking about making the switch. Currently running a modified Dr. Bud CFL perpetual SOG with decent results, just don't like keeping up with so many plants (like, over 50 of them need water every other day!) so I have been looking into switching to a 250 watt (or 400 watt) HPS. My main concern...

Ignore that comment haha, SpicySativa already told me what I need to know. Thanks Spicy!

Ok, got my worm poo, now I have one my question: How much should I add per gallon if I am brewing it with 2 tsp Grow and 2 tsp Bloom?

So the one garden supply store in my town does not have EWC in yet, which is strange to me. Anyway, I found a bottle of Fox Farm Big Bloom. Says its a worm casting culture, think throwing some of this in the brew would bring things to life? This is an old bottle too, over 6 months old.

That's a good possibility, I have had the bottles for a long time and they were sealed even longer than that. I am picking up some EWC today, gonna add it to the soil. I'll throw some in the brew and see if that helps any. Thanks!
