The guy who got caught made two mistakes: 1. He probably bought an insane amount of fertilizer rather than making several smaller trips that would have avoided suspicion. 2. He was Hispanic. Honestly, you have virtually nothing to worry about if you make small purchases. You're not going to...

Cloning is always better unless you're trying to breed the plants. Guaranteed females every time with predictable results.

Smoking is a reward. Trimming is dull tedium. :P

Eh, it's a good safety measure nonetheless. Anything to make it more difficult to track you down is a good thing. It's the same reason I use cash at the grow store, and use a car that's registered to a different address than my grow. Sure, the cops could follow me undercover, or confront me...

So I've been debating with my friend who I grow with about the trimming aspect. Basically I'm all about getting it over with because it's a big fucking hassle that takes hours, and while I've got 5 big buds trimmed, he's still working on his first one. I'll admit it, I'm a sloppy and fast...

If you want pure water, get a reverse osmosis filter. You can find them on ebay for about 100 bucks, and can test their effectiveness with an EC or ppm meter. The lower the number, the better it works. For instance, my RO filter takes my tap water from an EC of .3 down to .018, which means...

Brown roots are fine. A lot of the time, the nutrient mix stains them a bit brown. The smell is the true test for rot.

Day 30 of Flowering GH Expert Recirculating Nutes I was too bold with my Aero-NFT grow and went for aggressive bloom, and to top it off I let my res get low which meant my concentrations went through the roof. I flushed with Florakleen for an entire day and dropped the concentration down to an...

I think it's similar to what Obama said a while back.

Lots of factors to keep safe: 1. Be a good citizen. Pay your bills. Don't break the law (other than growing of course :D) If you deposit your cash in your bank account, be sure to file for taxes on that money and have a reason for earning it such as a legit cash business or "sold some junk...

So I've been sitting around daydreaming of ways to tackle some heat problems other than the usual routes, and I thought about radiant heat and how effective low-e glass is against it. Here is chart showing the transmittance for various wavelengths of low-e and regular glass. (Warning, you'll...

If you are a bit of a shadetree electrician, you can get stuff cheaper by assembling it yourself from www.1000bulbs.com But if you're not, then yeah, that's a good deal :D

If you bought it recently, contact your manufacturer about your warranty, otherwise your ballast might just be shot from age and need replacement.

A rheostat is a switch that regulates the amount of power on a sliding scale, like a dimmer switch. That way you can have your fan set to high or low speed.

GH makes a product called Florakleen that can be used to flush. Although I don't know how long you should flush for.

Here's the short and skinny: 1. Different strains grow at vastly different rates and have vastly different yields. 2. The longer you veg a plant, the bigger it gets. Some MJ plants can reach 20 feet in height if grown outdoors with proper nutrients and care and yield 5-10 lbs of dried bud...

Bad idea, but hey, you didn't bore me, so +rep!

Guy in the backseat of a hotbox: How long does it take trees to grow? ... You know... bigger.
