    Community growing/grow crew

    I've been using a 2 gallon tank with pump wand, it's been better than hand watering and even adjusts for foliar spraying, but I'm wondering if there's anything better out there?

    Is this the right process for brown bag method?

    I let the plant dry out after flushing. Usually about 3-5 days no watering and they're ready. I harvest a few branches at a time into a sterilized bucket, cutting the fan leaves beforehand. Next they go into drying room- upside down for the bigger buds, the smaller buds are cut and placed onto...

    What does flower room exhaust have in it?

    I'm so curious, the hot air exhaust from a 12x12 flower room with 8 or 9 lights, other than having more oxygen, would it contain chemicals from the lights? I'm asking because since my flower room is next to the living room and it gets cold here, I could exhaust into my living room and get some...

    Low soil pH vs high water pH, what to do?

    I noticed changes in color of leaves and lack of nutrogen although I've been dilligent about feeding regularly (typically feed half recommended, feed full, feed full, compost tea, flush, flush, flush). Also noticed slower growth over the past 2 weeks, so I picked up a Blue Lab pen suspecting...

    Root riot plugs in a clone bucket and general cloning

    Was wondering, can I put my cutting in root riot plugs, and insert those into net pots which insert into a clone bucket or will it absorb too much water and drown out the clones before they can root? So far I've just been sticking clones into the neoprene inserts, and waiting like 14+ days...

    Should I be testing my nute water when feeding, my soil etc?

    Trying to determine why I'm seeing stunted growth all of a sudden. In a soil grow, when I feed, should I ph test the water with nutrients in it? Would a 5 ph water being fed to a 7 ph soil bring the soil's ph down eventually? lastly, what should one do if their water source has a too high or...

    Automated temp control?

    A guy I know mentioned dual purpose thermostats, programmed to pull cold air from outside when the room hits 77 for example, and push hot air out at the same time. Are there any climate control devices that will accomplish this? Since I have cold winters i'm thinking this may save $ on...
