    Outta The Bag Soil

    I've got the resources to make my own 'super' soil but I really don't want to 'cook' my soil for 6 months to a year. Can anybody recommend a good soil and nutes that I can use for my next grow? I've invested a lot of money in grow tents, lights, etc, but before I put a seed in dirt I want to...

    DIY Soil

    Okay I've been researching for a couple of weeks now and the DIY soil articles have managed to give me tired head. Now I'd LOVE to just buy a couple of bags of ready made soil but budget constraints preclude that option so here's what I have available locally. Soil. Rich black moist silt and...

    About To Pull The Trigger

    Okay gents I've been reading, studying, and listening, about growing for 2 years since my last grow. Tomorrow I'm going to pull the trigger and this is what I've chosen for my set up (without the obvious needs for fans inside the tent to keep the plants moving or the Fox Farms nutes as those...

    What do you think would be the right size tent for this light?

    http://white15.com/albums/userpics/10001/LED_Light_Data_Sheet.pdf I sell lighting on the side but I'm no expert on grow lights (and no mods I'm not trying to peddle lighting here. Personally I think that's unseemly in this community) But I was wondering what you experts think because I'm...

    Strains, VPN's, etc.

    Granted this is all theoretical but If I was doing an aeroponic set up that I got from a guy known as 'stinkbud' (really wish I knew him personally because I'd LOVE to pick his brain a little) in a three room underground set up. Using 4 LED grow lights that put out 9700 lumens each and have...

    I Just Wanted To Say 'Thank You'

    This site is an invaluable source of great information that I can rely on. A lot of information out there is incomplete or anecdotal but I've found on here if you ask an honest and sincere question I've gotten a direct, polite, and complete answer. You experienced growers that take noobs like...

    LED Pricing

    Folks I've worked in the outdoor lighting market for many many years and, with my enthusiasm for growing for personal consumption growing by day (got one grow under my belt thus far), I thought it might be a good idea to talk to my suppliers about getting into the market for people who grow for...

    How Would You Do It?

    If all goes well I'll be moving soon to a place way out in the middle of nowhere. The nearest neighbor is about a half mile down the road. Now the place I'm going to be living has a basement space that has two 10' X 10' X 7' ceilings and the rooms are separated by brick walls and there's a 5'...

    Potential New Grow Site

    I may be moving soon and there's a potential for a decent grow site. The place has a 5' X 5' greenhouse and two 10' X 10' basement areas. What I'm thinking is veg in one of the basements, keep a mother or two in the other, and flower in the greenhouse. We're in the Northeast so...

    Indeed. As I've stated numerous times I'm not really a fan of the dank on a personal level. The effects aren't my bag. That said I'm having an absolute BLAST getting to know some of you fine folks and learning all of the fascinating techniques on how to grow, ingest, etc. The fact that a...

    Recipe for success.

    A thought that hit me last night was there is so much anecdotal evidence out there that it can be overwhelming to a completely new grower. How about some of you seasoned vets type up a 'recipe' for new growers in different media? Just for fun let's go with 'a buddy gave me a couple of seeds...

    Lazarus

    So I had about five bagseeds that didn't germinate and for more than a laugh than anything I tossed them in a 'spare' pot and promptly forgot about them. This morning I planted my last germinated seed and was moving pots around 'what's this?' it appears we've got a bit of a fighter on our...

    An Odd Idea From My Green Thumbed Mother

    I was talking to my mom the other day about grow techniques she uses in her garden and she recommended filling my final pots with my soil, sticking a toilet paper tube in the middle, then either transplanting my seedlings into the tube or go from seeds. Her logic is that the tube will...

    Lumens Question

    So next week I'm going to be receiving an LED light fixture that puts out 14,000 lumens. All of the info I've read about lumens are anecdotal. I understand temps, humidity, and CO2, have to be regulated as well as soil conditions but, what I'm really trying to do is grow an oz or two a month...

    Hello All

    I can see I've got a lot of reading to do to even remotely catch up with most of yall thus the reason I joined this place. Personally I've never cared for the effects that pot had on me but my fiancee has Crohns and really suffers with it. After some research I found that marijuana could be...
