I had a habitat that killed a crop, and made another one turn yellow and almost die....saved 7 out of `10 from that grow, and 3 were girls....got some good buds too...once I took them out of the tent. Don't worry....it happened within 2...

    What do YOU like about hydro?

    I had some problems in one of my grows and I "just knew" I had a root issue.....thanks to the fact I am in clay pellets, I was able to look at my roots, and realize it wasn't that.Turned out to most likely be Ca toxicity, which was also easy to correct in hydro........alot easier than in soil, I...

    What do YOU like about hydro?

    Yes...it is mostly a joke.....I went hydro because I grow indoors in a fairly new, fairly nice home and am not too hip on hauling dirt in and out. That...and I like the science of it.....and the cleanliness. LOL!

    I freaking love the stuff....but then I don't mind spending money on my girls...still cheaper than the street prices to buy the shit of this quality. I saw VAST VAST VAST improvements in plant vigor and root mass when I used it first and I am hooked. I do a whole 4 week veg, 8 week flower (feed...

I have heard that using AN Sensizym is an excellent way to do this, as it turns dead matter into future food sources for my babies. What i want to know, is how much Sensizym should I use for 10L of...

    help fast

    I suggest harvesting as each section becomes ready...this really does give you the optimal yield...and allows you to harvest some cloudy and some amber triched buds of the same plant to compare for future grows and how ripe you want them. Just my pennyx2
