http://littlegreenhouse.com/accessory/mist2.shtml these drip stakes look like a very low power way to water plants. they say its for soil but it looks like it could replace the big aquarium motor / pvc tube setup. Instead of pumping water up just hang a res from a shelf and run a tube over the...

How did you solve the issue of the sprayers shooting water over the edge of the top container and the lid not being watertight?

Now I've read on this forum that a rubbermade roughneck tote and similar products have lids that are watertight enough to stand up misters running, but I'm not convinced especially after reading reviews from the manufacturers themselves who do not claim it can do that. So, is that product and...

Should healthy roots always be completely white in color? Are there any types of growth that is beneficial to a root AND that is VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE? Are there any bugs that live in/on roots that are beneficial to root health?

A brown "sheath" covering roots living in a dwc. Similar in consistency to wet tree bark. It easily peels off. Under the sheath, the root is lighter, brighter, and closer to white than the sheath, but it is still a mix of white and brown. Not a pure white. When viewed at 100x a root actually...

I am aware of 4 indicators: Swollen calyx, darkening and curling pistils, the color of trichomes (clear -> grey -> amber), the decaying of surrounding leaves. Did I miss any? Now the main question I have here is what indicator is better if they aren't all sending the same signal? For example a...

Why would I ever want to dry it past the point of green?

Bump

A good week or two of curing should help with that hay smell (unless the hay smell is different than the "fresh cut grass" smell). Are those little circle leaves unique to a particular strain? I've seen some plants that I can't find them on. (i.e. only the pointy sugar leaves, fan leaves, and...

Who has taken the time to actually separate the true buds from even the smallest of the sugar leaves? Would you please share the experience of smoking that? What did your friends say about it? Would you do it again?

If white widow flowers have 100% of pistles turn orange late in flower (corresponding with about 10% trichomes turning amber)… is it probably not white widow? Is white widow a term for genetics or simply a description of when it was harvested? If some ditch weed is harvested while 100% of...

I've looked around and there are a lot of potential fixes. First check humidity: Not high but not low 50%… however this hasn't changed so it is unlikely the problem. Sometimes the airflow needs to be turnt up to improve performance. That seems to not work either. I'm looking at a can filter and...

Beer for scale :) EDIT: do these work well enough to keep away mold during the drying process?

What are some easy methods to maintain the correct humidity during each stage of growth and after harvest (for drying). Especially interested in the passive silica/ salt boxes vs active fan units.

Here are some pictures of the inners of a pin timer. Note the black button on the top right (under the white lever which comes out easily). When that button is depressed the outlet will provide power. When released it will not. However I'm unsure of what allows the pins to work. Edit: my first...
