Intelligence, skills, and integrity are not in question here. Conducting an experiment with a bias has the potential to alter results. It may not always do so, but because it can cause that to happen no such results can rationally be considered accurate. So in one example an experiment's...

I recommend Big Bud more than anything else I use. As far as liquid vs powder goes, it mostly just depends on what you feel most comfortable measuring. I'm sure someone's done the math to figure out which is the best price per application, but I don't really care that much. I'll spend a bit...

No problem, glad to help. Just remember two things: 1. No matter how much you learn there's more to learn. Read everything you can. 2. Growing is addictive. Hydroponics is addictive. Both together are downright habit-forming.

You have a first-hand account but you lead with a third-person perspective? That's hard to swallow. If I have personal experience with a product, positive or negative, I don't start out telling people about what someone else has to say about it. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it. No...

I wasn't referring specifically to AN when I used that term, but it is definitely better engineered than MG. Lots of nutrients are. From what I've read they have a facility in Bulgaria, perhaps others I don't know. I've heard they also do testing like you describe but I don't have any...

I doubt that. I've only heard of a few cases where anyone even had one of them - they're new and few places carry them yet - so for there to be "many returns" there would have to be a LOT more of them sold than there seems to have been. I'm actually planning to get one or two of them before...

The best? Well that's a little subjective. I'd say Advanced Nutrients makes the best nutes but that's me. Basically it depends on what you get the best results using. Lots of stuff is better than Jack's. Don't get me wrong, I like Jack's Classic. As far as cheap ways to do hydroponics go...

Hydroponics really isn't that bad for a new grower unless you try to overcomplicate it. Yes, aeroponics can deliver exemplary results. However, any leak, any clog, any power outage and you're flirting with imminent crop failure. For newbies that can be a lot more stress on top of just...

Definitely nix the Superthrive. That causes more problems than it solves, when it does anything at all. I've never used those base nutes so I can't say much about them. The Grotek stuff is okay, but I wouldn't use the Final Flush. Considering it's your second grow I'd also cut out most of...

Nice grow room you have there. I wish you hadn't turned the camera sideways for most of the video, it's a little disorienting, but you have nice looking plants all the same. Keep us updated, I'm looking forward to see how it goes.

This is really archaic and inaccurate thinking. The whole "it's a weed" thing really needs to leave our collective consciousness. What is a weed? It's a plant growing somewhere you don't want it to grow. Nothing more. Nothing less. A tomato plant growing in my garden is fine. A tomato...

Absofrigginlutely. I'm with you on the H&G too, they just don't have the bang for the buck and that's saying a lot when you take into account that I'm an AN guy myself.

Looks nice, I'll second (third, fourth, whatever we're up to now) what others have said about the space and foil. The brown spots look like physical damage to me, specifically they look like burns from contacting lights or something like that. You might want to get some Rhino Skin or something...

Got some heated debate here. Good to see, a lively debate tends to get things done imho. I just wanted to point out something said earlier that I've seen get overlooked a lot. Everyone just seems to automatically agree that AN costs more than anything else without ever really looking at it to...

If you have some pictures we can probably diagnose any nutritional problems that might exist, but without that or a really, really detailed written description it would be tough. Sensizym is every bit as good (if not better) than Hygrozyme. If GH has a money back guarantee on Hygrozyme I...

People lived for thousands and thousands of years before we discovered antibiotics. Doesn't mean I'm going to find someone with a bone stuck through their nose the next time I think I have strep throat. Whether you're talking about growing marijuana, giant pumpkins, or human athletes you see a...

My understanding is that it's available in BC. It's not at my local hydro shop but I can buy it online. I've gotta use up what I already have before I buy the new stuff but I am definitely looking forward to trying it out.

Heh, I'll agree with that.

This is a common point of confusion, and there's a lot of experienced growers out there that will actually give the wrong answer because they just don't know any better. It's not so much a "proprietary" mix as it is just a secret recipe of commonly known fertilizer salts. It's like a bakery...

Strictly speaking H2O2 doesn't kill things, it's the O2 it releases that does. Each molecule of H2O2 releases one oxygen atom because it's not stable with both of them. That results in a molecule of water and a free oxygen atom that combines with another free atom to make O2 or oxygen gas. A...
