    hydro nutrient help?

    I order my nutes (AN 3 part full line) from HTG online (High Tech Garden Supply) and I get the stuff within 5 days every time I order, and I always get a free lighter, too. Also, I have had two returns (one defective & one misship) and I had the replacements in 48 hours both times. They...

    Flushing with Clearex

    Cool.....thanks much. I love it, and would hate to quit using it for peridoc flushes.....makes the end product so much lusher when you flush throughout, IMO.

    I am getting ready to start my 5th grow (ebb&flow under 400w HPS.....widow) and I have always in previous grows flushed out my plants every third res change (I change weekly) with clearex to reduce build up of nutrient salts in my rockwool. This grow, however, I will be adding bacteria & fungi...

    another ph ?

    Rain water pH will vary by location...or in my experience it is.......the best way to regulate pH is through acid and alkaline additives. Acids lower pH and alkalines raise pH. I personally have great results with AN pH up & pH down. They use VERY LITTLE to lower and raise my 25 gallon res. Like...

    Overdried? Buds not "sweating"

    Mine did this.....and after a week in the jars they got crispy....I put a thin slice of apple in the jar for 2 hours each time 2 days in a row, and after 20 days curing the buds are spongy and firm...not crispy at all.....and I never had any condensation. Just my experience....

    any signs of sex in these pics?

    The only sign of sex I see is the used condom stuck to my keyboard.........keep waiting. Telling sex is not as difficult as we often think. It will show in time to chop that dude or pamper that bitch. Relax. I am still a newbenheimer myself, but man, after just 4 harvests, I see how worried I...

    what scissors good for trimming??

    LOL...ok....silly stoned me. I actually just use my hands because my poor eyesight and carpal tunnel make it alot easier for me than scissors, and the results are appreciably better. Plus, I am helplessly in love with the hash I get off the gloves.....YUM! I will say that just in about 10 plants...

    what scissors good for trimming??

    Well....I trim with "what God gave me" like this......I put on a pai of surgical gloves (powder free, of course) and I begin to pluck all the fan leaves off the plant. I do it with a quick snap-jerk and they come right off. (The plants are well flushed and leaves are dying.). Then I fold down...

    My Plants are so small but have been growing for so long

    Pardon my ignorance...but isn't 'dro short for hydroponic?? That is a growing style, not a strain. A 'dro seed would be any seed grown hydroponically, right?? I am totally confused on this 'dro thing...I guess cuz I am 36 and don't get my weed on the streets.

    Orange Bud lost smell

    Harvested a COB plant on flower day 56....trichs 85% cloudy, little to no amber. Buds were somewhat early, but looking for a heady high off this plant. Dried 4 days in 73f, 53% RH closet. Then into jar. After 24 hours in jar, there was some moisture, so buds spent the night in a paper bag. Now...

    Seed in my bud???

    I had a Northern Lights plant herm at 40 days.....I pulled it as soon as I saw a banana......must have gotten a miniscule cross pollenization. Oh well. 1 immature seed from a plant that should yield around 30g is fine by me. Thanks again all!
