    Do I Really Need a Clone Machine?

    Here's how I get great success. Rubbermaid brute 20 gallon. Danner pond pump. Go to drsfostersmith.com for this, get the one that draws about 25 watts for a single pail or the larger one that draws approx. 100 watts for enough air for ten or more of these pails. Acquire an 8" round aluminum...

    All hair...no meat! Any ideas? Pls read.

    I get some skinnies once in a blue, when I'm doing a progeny test from many different seeds but that's the most anemic I've ever seen. What's the room temp like?

    Pimp my growroom

    That's cool. You felt like keeping the heat to a minimum? I'm assuming that's why you went with that light scheme. If you're just growing for your own head that makes a lot of sense. May I ask, what did you use to exhaust ?

    Hermie!!?! Can I do this?

    Haha! Where were you all this time? I used to get hermie probs here and there with feminized seeds until I stopped doing organics. I run aero and dwc. The same may not hold true for soil users. I have a hunch that organics work out quite alright for them.

    6 weeks into flower and found spider mites I think. They looked black instead of red

    If you want to avoid it from happening again, after you use the Hand of God card (ie kill everything after harvest, if your doing a perpetual harvest...well...not this time) make sure you maintain negative pressure with your exhaust fans. The chance of it coming back is less next time around...

    someone help!

    I'm not a soil guy but it looks like you burned em. List the characteristics of the planting medium ( soil, perlite, vermiculite, peat, nute levels being fed, was the soil hot to begin with ( contained nutes from the start). How often do you water and what do you put in the water. Your main cola...

    Are Plastic Flower Pots Really Okay to Use?

    Thermoplastics will not dissolute anything unless brought to extreme temperatures. You can wiki that. I'm not trying to oppose any point of view. I just go by evidence.

    Testing the Aerolife True HPA AA (Air Atomized) System -First run

    Yes, indeed I agree with this DIYer chap. But also, let's not forget there are instances where when you add too much pressure in a line and then get less than rated pump output due to not having not enough total orifice to release the liquid being pumped. There is a point of diminishing returns...

    10 of 10 joint doctor lowryder #2 DID NOT germinate :(

    To be very honest with you, and I'm not a shill of any corporation, I never had any problems with seedmadness.com. Their prices are nice too.

    Diy Switchable Grow Tray (Flood/Drain & Dwc)

    I finally know the difference between pool liner and pond liner, and it's called Geomembrane. I once nearly lost my mind one day trying to find a generic name for the stuff. I knew there was a difference.

    noob needs some advice

    I'm probably not the only one who has tried this with a grow cab, but leaving the door partially open for ventilation actually makes my cab hotter. The few times that I bi-accidentally left the door open on one of my side by side identical 250mh cabs the Ranco temp control thermostat would show...

    6x10 room will 1600watts be okay?

    I like your lighting set-up even though you have to do the rotation. I once got some great results in an 11 x 6.5 foot room with only 1200 watts for the first five weeks and then 2400 for the last four. It was with the HOG which was a decent producer. So I guess you would do alright because...

    If growing( hydro )in a basement....

    This is actually being done and the pics will be posted by Saturday the latest. I have 2 quiet one 6000's constantly running in the res with 6x600 watts overhead in the bloom room. I don't even bother with a thermostat any more. The water is always cool to the touch. It was a bear of a job to do...

    Sniffer dogs... what you need to know. - Grow FAQ entry

    If you can contain the package in a carbon vented envelope of some kind, the minute residual aroma that goes through the sealed plastic will go through carbon and this is your best bet. Triple heat seal the parcel then the fourth heat sealed layer has a hole for air intake and a small computer...

    If growing( hydro )in a basement....

    ... one of the most incredible things you can do for your reservoir is to bury it. For example, if you're doing an aerogarden ( 4" pvc , flowing back to a rubbermaid brute 44 gal.) in a basement. Keep the aero table setup on the floor (floor should consist of a plastic vapor barrier, wood deck...

    Full Nutrient Guide(In Depth)

    Imho, and also based on myriad experience with nutes, you need not go too far in depth. For example, when Nice Ol Bud lists the micronutrients iron, boron, molybdenum, copper, manganese and zinc he is basically telling you that these are the only micros that you need to worry about.You can throw...

    flowering time lessened in aero?

    It does speed things up. For example, my sour kush is usually ready by the 8th week instead of the 9th. Also, if you've been pushing them hard with nutes or just moderately feeding take this tip: 3 day flush with 300 ppm of Botanicare sweet ( the only thing and the only time anything organic...
