    Light Stress Herms....myth or maxim??

    Have you any experience with "light leaks"? If you do, then can I ask if they really are UBER detrimental. I ask because I recently moved a flower chamber into my house, to keep the temps under 90..LOL...and I have a very minor light seeping under an outer door. In the actual grow area, I can...

    Turn The Lights off Before Harvest????

    Personal experience with this, I do see that my plants are "shinier" when I give them dark for 48 hours before harvest. More important to me, and I believe it since I read it from Arjan Roskum, is putting them into 48 hours darkness before I flip to 12/12. Also, I grew two widow grows...

    How to lower ph correctly

    When I was using tap water, I have had to add up to 30ML of pH down to drop my water from 6.8 to 5.6, due to the buffering capacity of my water. I have added 10ml and only dropped .1, and then addded 10ml more, and dropped as much as 1.0. This is because in tap water there are things that buffer...

    huge swing in pH, what could be causing this?

    I use RO water, because in my area I have water with alot of carbonate.....after 3 feedings my rockwool was starting to turn white from my tap water. I have a breakdown of a sample now, and I can't see that there is anything to interfere with my plants, so I just may switch to tap..I dunno. I...

    Pics of current grow

    LOL....thanks, ma.....the shiny is my new mylar..I love it....and I went with the "ultra blue" because it says it enhances vegatative growth, and it was the best rated brand they had at my shop, plus it was the same price as the regular Agromax MH......I use HPS for flowering.

    Pics of current grow

    Here are some pics from my current grow.......6 ice, 3 shiva, and a pepper plant. They are 24 days from seed, or thereabouts. I lowered my light to 16" this AM and when I got home I had suffered some drooping and up-curl of the margins due to heat stress. I raised it to 20". Also, I added 3 42...

    Cotton medium

    No worries.......I personally use 3" rockwool cubes placed in a nursery pot half full of hydroton, then I cover it with more hydroton. I get these products at a hydro shop 2 hours from my house or online. The easiest thing to obtain to grow hydro in would be vermiculite or perlite, which you...
