    How long do your T5's last on 19/5?

    For Experienced Outdoor Growers?

    Hi! I guess there are as many ways to grow weed as there are growers. From my experiences its best to keep it simple and not overcomplicate things. keeping in mind that these are some tough plants, you really dont need to cradle them. I am always amazed just how tough this plants are. All kinds...

    Guerrilla water collection?

    Hello! I am a guerilla grower myself and can definetly recommend the polymer water absoring crystals, as it was allready suggested.
