    Earliest possible plant age for STS application

    I've used my own home made CS for years to reverse plants. A friend recently sent me the goods to make my first test batch of STS. Haven't found a consensus on how young a plant STS can be applied to. For the below, lets assume either known good fem seed or known female clone. - 12/12 from...

    Gandalf the White

    I get questioned from time-to-time on my abilities and qualifications here on RIU. I admit that it's been years since I've posted photos and things, so it can be questioned. What I don't necessarily like is when I speak about my experiences, they get denied and denigrated, even after evidence...

    Anyone use solar power for grow room peripherals?

    Before I had to move from the Great White North (near Alaska in BC, Canada), I used solar extensively, especially in some of the cabins I had both along the lakeside and scattered throughout the sprawling property. I've set some of the configuration up where I am currently to run my house at a...

    Can anyone help me identify these eggs in my garden?

    I'm in South-Central British Columbia Canada. I live right on Shuswap Lake. Today, as I was looking at my container garden out front of my house, and when I looked on the ground within a retaining area garden that I don't use, I saw four small eggs within a nest nestled in between some weeds and...

    The rats are clinging for self-preservation

    Senior officials are apparently sorting out their after-Trump situation. In my humble opinion, every single person who has stuck by Trump will face a public reckoning, then they'll have to face themselves as they age into obscurity and death. Many people who's backed his bullshit will have a...

    Adding citric acid to nutrient stock tanks

    DIY Lamps for a 12x12' and 8x8' flower rooms and one 8x8' veg room

    I've had on my roadmap for some time to delve into alternate lighting (I now have seven tents: three 4x4' for flower, three 2x4' for veg and one 2x3' clone). I've always used HID. However, due to circumstances outside of my control, I'm suddenly needing to enlarge my spaces, so I'm going to...

    Extreme root bound example

    I am constantly doing several varoius experiments for many different reasons. Recently, I wanted to hone in on the minimum pot size I could reliably use for an eight week veg, 10-12 week flower cycle in my perpetual. Floor space for the pots isn't an issue, the amount of medium I'm using is. If...

    Does this NPK look appropriate for week 3-6 of flower?

    I'm about to mix up my first large stock tank for my flower plants after a couple of weeks testing out new nutrients. I haven't introduced my MKP to the plants yet, but it is included in the above mix. Just looking for yay or nay on the ratio. My Calcium Nitrate and micro nutrients will be in...

    Who's got their entire vegetable garden out yet?

    I'm in south-central British Columbia, about three hours north of the US border. Because I'm living in this particular property just temporarily, I'm doing mostly a container garden, with some lettuce and onions in the ground. I'm using 27.5 gallon containers, and a bunch of 18gal. Potatoes...

    Elemental PPM feed schedule per growth phase

    Hi all, I've just switched from GH Flora to Jack's 5-12-26, Calcium Nitrate and Mono Potassium Phosphate. I've been doing deep research on nutrients in general and detail, and I'm finding very conflicting information on people's elemental PPM schedules all over the Internet. I'm wanting to...

    Switching away from bottled nutrients

    Hey all, it's been quite a long time since I've posted anything but questionable advice to folk, so I'm going to start a new journal to document my current experiment of switching from General Hydroponics Flora 3-part nutrients to Jack's 5-12-26, Calcium Nitrate, and Mono Potassium Phosphate...

    LED that markets it's actual wattage draw?

    Someone posted a link to this BAVAGREEN 240W Full Spectrum LED Plant Grow Light. I'm an HID guy, and honestly know nothing about grow LED technology, but it is something on my roadmap to investigate. I took a look at the product out of curiosity and was shocked to find that it's marketed as a...

    Switching from GH to powder nutrients - Stock tank questions

    I'm the type to do extensive research on pretty well everything. This week, after eight years of indoor growing, I'm finally delving deep into nutrients. After a private discussion with another forum member, I'm switching from GH Flora series to powdered soluble. For my first test, I'm going...

    Toronto Maple Leafs lose to zamboni driver

    Literally... Carolina lost both goalies due to injury, so they strapped the pads onto the zamboni driver. Toronto still lost. Sigh. Another year, another non-parade. https://www.nhl.com/news/hurricanes-emergency-backup-goalie-against-maple-leafs/c-315410618

    Trump aides handing out cash to African American voters

    How in the hell is this even remotely legal? Not only is the entire thing extremely sketchy, they're using equally sketchy non-profits to funnel the cash through. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/29/trump-black-voters-cash-giveaways-108072

    Perpetual RDWC maintenance

    Hey all, I've been growing outdoors for 2-1/2 decades, and indoors for about six years, but almost exclusively in soil, non-soil soil (Promix HP, Sunshine #4 etc) and for a couple runs in a perpetual, a mix of perlite, vermiculite and hydroton (although I treated that mostly like soil all the...
