Ok, making compost is a rather simple, yet confusing endeavor. First, all of those things you listed are "ready to use" and shouldn't attract animals. However, Im gonna tell you how to make great compost. First, you should have a place that you can put a compost bin. The best thing ever is this...

They are very flexible so they will bend at will. They are very soft, and definitely dont strangle anything. I have had one plant actually push the neoprene out of the net cup before.

I always LST (bend). You can do it at anytime, but preferably before the stems get too hard (you dont want to break them). After you tie them down, in about 48 hours the branches will have already turned and started growing back up.

Ok..that first plant looks like a tomato to me...rub the leaf gently between your finger and then smell (I know this sounds terrible lol, but tomatoes have a distinct smell that is quite pungent). Any type of house light bulb will not work for growing a plant...it simply doesnt put out the...

WITHOUT SEEING YOUR PLANTS, I can tell you that yellowing leaves are usually attributed to: 1. Not enough food. 2. Not enough light 3. Old growth (cotyledons always turn yellow and fall off...for this reason after the first node has grown, I remove them) AFTER SEEING YOUR PLANTS, I would say...

No problem man. Cannabis drinks a ton of water compared to other plants, and that aerogarden has a small tank (I had one a while back). 762 isn't a bad number to be in your 3rd week. My 3rd week the ppm is 1120-1260 (though, im not saying to raise yours this much..as Im not sure what the N-P-K...

I probably wouldn't drill holes...but thumbtacks (the ones with the little knob on the end..not the flat ones) make excellent anchors and you can push them right into your bucket without making a giant hole that will leak. You can just leave them in there grow after grow (I would put them in the...

General Hydroponics - FloraGro--Yes " - FloraMicro--Yes " - FloraBloom--Yes " - Diamond Nectar--Useless....get some good bacteria and don't worry about humic acid. It is a naturally occurring by product...

I can understand your point quite well. I also find that the meter is useless if you don't let your solution sit for a while before testing. I never completely change out my Rez; I always leave 1/2 of the old solution in there. By doing this my bacteria stays happy (but controlled), and therefor...

I like to supp with some flora nectar (the ingredients are cane sugar, malt extract, and molasses. Just a few reasons why: 1. I find that it takes the stress off of the plants when switching to 12/12 and taking clones (foliar feeding very very dilute) 2. It keeps my rez bacteria very healthy...

Hydro and aero cause your growth to go so much faster than soil. You should be about finished (from seed to harvest )in 12 weeks depending on the strain. Once you flip to 12/12 it will double/triple in size in a matter of weeks (usually about 2-4 weeks). LST your branches. I usually take an...

A good ph meter wont cause this problem...having worked in a lab for many, many years (and subsequently having to test the ph of thousands of different reagents) I can give you a few pointers: 1. You have to calibrate your ph meter at least every two weeks if you can (never go more than a...

Your meter problem is a simple diagnosis....it's not the meter at all. Your EC meter works by passing a tiny electrical charge from one tip of the electrode to the other tip. It then calculates how easy it was for that charge to cross the gap. If you have nutes in your water the EC goes up...

Ok, if it is only moving .2, consider this a normal fluctuation. Also, you must use ppm in conjunction with ph, not one or the other. Everyday (or every other if you have a large rez) you need to top off the water to replace what your girls drank. However, all of the missing water isn't just...

If your ph is only changing .5 then you probably need a bigger Rez. As she eats her nutes it is going to naturally rise up, and as she drinks water it is going to fall. This is because the salts in the nutes are acidic and cause the ph to fall, thus as she eats your ph will start to come back...

5.8-6.2 is my range.

I gotcha...just remember with an RO system you are more than likely going to have to supplement with cal/mag.

Why don't you like your water now? A ppm of 190-200 is great, and well water contains a lot of micronutrients those babies need. Is it overly sulfurous or something that makes it bad for growing? You already have the advantage of not having to deal with chloramines like the rest of us tap water...

You should have just spent $60 and got you an eighth...at least you would have had something to smoke....this shit is not that difficult to grow...actually, it pretty much takes care of itself if you give it what it needs (light and food).

I have used vinegar in an aero system. It will lower the pH, however it usually only takes about 12-24 hours before it starts to rise back up. Also, keep in mind that using vinegar with any organic nute or microbe containing nute can cause a serious stink!! Trust me on this one...your Rez will...
