    making the most of your power

    12/12 from seed nutes?

    hey all, i'm thinking of doing a sardine style 12/12 from seed SOG with 8 inches of space per plant. i'm doing all femmed great white sharks from greenhouse and feeding basic GH nutes. since there isn't really a vegging period, should i skip the micro and grow and just use bloom? how does the...

    aerogarden h20 pumps

    i've been looking at the cannabis cage recently, and its piqued my interest quite a bit. the only thing that bothers me about it is the water pump. can anyone answer why a 1/4hp electric pump is necessary? in an aeroponic system i cant see why 1200gph is needed. those things run on a couple...

    best strains for tight spaces

    i've been doing a lot of research lately on maximizing yield in a small grow space. first i started looking at SOG grows, then moved on to ScrOG grows, BOG etc... I researched C02, supplemental UVB lighting, nutes and so forth. i dont have access to clones at the moment, so i'll have to start...

    UVB in conjunction with HPS?

    i read somewhere about an experiment where a few UVB bulbs were used in conjuction with HID lighting. clones were grown at the same time in isolated environments with all controllable variables eliminated aside from supplemental UVB bulbs added in one of the grow spaces. apparently, the buds...

    Is CO2 worth the money?

    My new set up is a SOG grow with a simple hydro setup in a 2x4x8 closet. 600w HPS w/MH conversion bulb. Is it really worth investing an extra 200 bucks or so for a small CO2 injector kit? (1-10 CFH) I'm doing 8 either 8 white widow or white lightning plants, or possibly 8 THC Bomb plants. Will...
