A few years ago, I had to go out of town for three weeks. I used a few Blumats, and things were fine when I got back.

Okay, the consensus is in, and I've been schooled. Now what to do with the extras. Too cold to put them in the ground, and no room for a bigger tent. Maybe I'll just hang up a 4 foot grow light over them. A couple of friends did this years ago (only had T8 Deluxe Cool Whites back then ;) )...

I think the biggest problem was that, during the height of Covid, I couldn't find any decent soil locally. I used some horrible stuff from a normally reliable local garden center (probably all they could get). As soon as the local grow shop re-opened, I grabbed two bags of Ocean Forest. which...

After a grow last year that went nowhere, I have a new one underway that seems to be doing well at about three weeks. I currently have them in one gallon plastic pots, but they will be going into fabric pots in a couple of days. My tent is home-brew, 2 1/2 x 3 x 6 feet. I can fit six 5 gallon...

Blumats are basically a siphon. Stick the plastic tube in a reservoir of water and the ceramic diffuser cone in the soil. As the soil dries out, water gets pulled in as needed. I found you need a few in each pot, so that the watering is evenly distributed on all sides.

Great! Into the Smart Pots they go.

I have three small plants going now in small pots. One is about two weeks older than the others, and ought to be re-potted (it's about eight inches tall). The other two are only about four or five inches. Would I have any issues with re-potting all three? Or should I let the smaller ones build...

So, I figured the seedlings were ready to go from the T5s to the MH. As I was getting ready to remove the T5 fixture, I saw that three of the four bulbs were burned out. :wall: I had just stuck it in the tent without checking. I thought it looked kind of dim. The guy in the mirror looks pretty...

How about a heat mat?

I had the exact thing happen to me a couple of years ago. Freaked me out big time.

Years ago, I tried sharpening my pocket knife with a bench grinder. I would recommend NOT using one of those. :dunce:

Thank you much.

I just got a heat mat for my latest grow. What should I set the thermostat to?

True true true. :leaf:

I'm just starting my latest grow. I got my seeds from Sannies, and germinated three of them. Instead of using rockwool cubes as I've done in the past, I went with the paper towel method. All three popped, and placed into soil (added Pearlite). One is vigorous, another less so, but on the third...

If you build you own, you can get it the size you really want, you'll be happy, plants will be happy, you'll be even happier.

Great set up! Been thinking of DWC myself; I'll be watching yours closely! [SUBBED]

Great to have you back! I'm about to start a new grow myself, but have a lot of prep work to take care of first. Good luck with yours! I'll be watching [SUBBED]. :leaf: :leaf: :leaf: :leaf: :leaf:

This morning, I got everything jarred up; no pics 'cause it's so anemic it's embarrassing. With twice as many plants, only a bit more yield than the last grow. Same deal as last time: looking all lush and healthy until like three weeks before harvest, and then they just stalled. So with that...

Just got mine - ten days NL to USofA. Track and trace number didn't work; Sannie assured me they would get here, and they did. Great stealth - had to look real close to find 'em myself! :leaf: :leaf: :leaf: :leaf: :leaf:
