    I'm so nervous!

    Wish I could.....but it is actually kind of an ass pain to move out of country......unless you want to find me a job and a place to live (...I will share my grows with you...LOL), I think I am stuck in Bush's USA.....hopefully in a few months it will be different.

    my buds smell like plants still

    I grew some plants in my first grow known for their smell....Ice & COB. They had little to no smell unless you put your face in the buds. After 5 days of hang drying they had like 0 smell. I was stressed, too, but after a solid 20 day cure they fucking reek. The Ice smells up the whole room if I...

    Advanced Nutrients Advice For Hydro

    I use piranha, tarantula and voodoo juice in hydro.....ebb & flow. The piranha and tarantula leave some residue but they WORK. You can reduce this residue by making a "tea bag" to hold the microbes (taranula/piranha) that will keep your res more clean. If you use voodoo juice, you need to also...

    Topping up the nutrient mixture

    I also have to say, I read what Al says, and it is backed by knowledge, experience, and explanation. GreenGro and nogreenthumb (who both are noobs compared to Al) only offer :no it isn't"...I think Al deserves even more rep for taking the time to try to set these fellas straight. If I have I...

    Another question for the pros

    Every time I have introduced a new additive as I progress in knowledge, and as I dial the enviroment more, I have seen noticable difference. Wether it is the additives or just my increasing experience, I am not certain, but it seems that the add in sure do help to me...so I do it. I can afford...
