OK, dry weight Aurora Indica 2.67 oz., Pineapple Express was 6.34 oz. so I came out with 9 oz of finished smoke plus whatever got consumed along the way for "quality control and research" purposes.:eyesmoke: Both varieties really should have been allowed to go another 2 weeks or so but I wasn't...

Well, humidity was beginning to get scary high, averaging 75% when the lights went on and 65deg. even with a fan on them all night and the door part way open. By evening humidity was down to 50% but temp was usually running 80-85deg.:wall: Ideal conditions for growing mushrooms and other fungi...

Thank you very much.

I am almost getting paranoid about humidity and fungus growing up here with minimal equipment. I'm afraid of last minute disaster but right now I think it's the best I've done. Thanks for your appreciation.

Man, got lost and couldn't find my way back after posting. Sorry about the mix up with the pictures. The first two are A.I., #3 and 4 are the same but they are P.E.. The A.I. pistils are quite golden in color and the P.E. are just beginning to turn and are actually in a secondary growth surge...

Since I haven't been growing since moving to Washington state, I thought I would post a few pix from my personal grow. These seeds were sprouted on 12/17/2014 under T-5 and transferred to 7gal. fabric pots and grown entirely in them without being transplanted. On 2/12/2015 they were in full...

Generally at the fifth node or some wait until the nodes start "stair stepping".

My debit card wouldn't go through a purchase during the Olympics in London. I called up my bank and told them that I knew who I was dealing with as I have made purchases from them before and asked them to please cut off their block. I haven't had any problems since. They started doing this as a...

Don't know where you get that idea but the science behind NPK ratios applies to ANY growing medium, soil first then hydro since hydroponics is relatively a newer method relatively. Farmers have been fertilizing their fields for thousands of years to improve harvests and in some cases they use...

Yep, just got it. Had to switch from Firefox to IE to get in.

Feeding oxygen is counter-productive unless you are feeding it to the roots. The foliage feeds off of CO2 and light for photosynthesis and releases oxygen into the atmosphere.

Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantes is a definite "buy" if you never are able to find another book. It isn't perfect but it covers most of what everyone here is asking about. Easy to come by, doesn't break the bank, covers almost every aspect of...

I recently saw the premade TGA SuperSoil products (expensive) and I don't have a good opinion of what I read as for ingredients (different from his posted recipe) and NPK ratios. It could be that not everything was listed but I am getting ready to mix a batch of my own using SubCool's recipe...

Every T-5 fixture for more than 4 tubes I have seen have more than 1 on/off switch for controlling the amount of light and the number of tubes in use. My 6-tube fixture has 2 switches. One controls 2 tubes and the second one controls the other 4 tubes. Yours must be a cheap one if all tubes turn...

Take it or send it back and get a new one or have them send you a new ballast.
