Genetics may play a role in stem size and strength but it is by no means the final word in thicker stems. If that kind of thing were left entirely up to genetics every plant of a given strain would look exactly the same. To get a thicker stem on a plant all you have to do is supply it with a...

All the charts and feeding schedules in the world aren't going to tell you with certainty what you should be feeding your plants. Hydroponics is a science, but it's not a pure math science. Life has a way of complicating everything. The charts and schedules are a guide, a starting point...

They key difference here is that in those examples getting bigger blossoms is worth the loss of smaller, unsaleable ones. With marijuana the size of the bud makes little difference compared to total yield. So if an African Violet with especially large blossoms is valuable and one with small or...

That's true, Techna Flora just isn't organic. It's not even in the same neighborhood. If you're looking for organic there's some good stuff out there. I've used some of the organics that Advanced Nutrients makes and I can vouch for them being really great. I think better than Techna Flora...

I used to use that 13/14 PK but it wasn't really the right fit. I read up on it and Advanced Nutrients said that this wasn't the right ratio. They use a 9/18 in their Hammerhead, so I decided to give that a try. Right away I noticed the plants were a lot happier on the 9/18 than they had been...

Liquid Karma is okay, I just don't think it's the best thing available. After watching this video I tried Nirvana and after that I was hooked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swuzkydK5TE

Thanks, but I was asking about beneficial microbes. That stuff has nothing at all to do with microbes. At least aside from being a great way to kill them. Anyway, I ended up settling on the Advanced Nutrients beneficial I mentioned. The Piranha and Tarantula, and they were fantastic. After...

I would have to say that you're already onto the best root stimulator on the market. I can't say I've tried every one out there, but I've tried a lot of them and Voodoo Juice is easily the best I've found. It goes way past the seedling in rockwool cube stage, I've heard of plants actually...

You don't have to worry about whether the fertilizer you're using in your outdoor garden is designed for outdoors. It's harder to design them for indoors rather than outdoors. The only thing that Advanced Nutrients makes specifically for outdoor gardens that I know of is the Heavy Harvest...

If you're new to building hydroponic systems you might want to consider sticking with a tried-and-true design. It's a lot easier to modify a working design than to reinvent the wheel. But to answer your questions about this specific hydroponic system, the first thing I see is that you'll have...

Yeah man, that's the stuff. Soil, hydro, aero, whatever you use Sweetleaf will work. imho that's the best aroma enhancer on the market. Advanced Nutrients actually improved it just recently and changed the name to Bud Candy. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Anyone else had a chance to...

Canna Nutrients arent bad but I much prefer Advanced Nutrients.

Aeroponics puts some special requirements on the nutrients you use. I've used a bunch of stuff and I've had a lot more success with the Advanced Nutrients line than anything else. Aeroponics can be a beast to keep running, especially if you skimp on your nutrients since you'll end up with a...

Aeroponics puts some special requirements on the nutrients you use. I didn't really like Technaflora. I've used a bunch of stuff and I've had a lot more success with the Advanced Nutrients line than anything else. Aeroponics can be a beast to keep running, especially if you skimp on your...

If you're looking for a better 100% organic nutrient for hydroponics I think you'd be happiest with Iguana Juice. You know how a lot of organics stink like something died or are gross and have "crud" in them? This stuff is perfect. It doesn't clog pumps and emitters and it just has a pleasant...

There's a much better option in flower stimulators. I combine Bud Blood and Big Bud. You start out with the Bud Blood to kind of get a jumpstart for your plants. It helps to stimulate flowering earlier and with more bud sites. Then, you switch to Big Bud and watch them just get fat and...

Technically if you're not using soil, it is hydroponics. Not all hydroponics systems use pumps. Passive hydroponics, like what you're describing, doesn't require any of that. In a word, yes, you can grow exactly as you describe. Just make sure you're using proper hydroponic nutrients even...

Interesting, atrumblood. Were you using plain water to mist the hydroton to get the seed started or were there some nutrients added? Even though that worked for you I would think there'd bet a better chance for success if a more traditional method such as a rockwool plug were used. It would...

To get that kind of weight you're going to need at least 3 and more likely 4 1000w HPS lights running in your flowering chamber. That much light isn't going to fit nicely in a single cabinet. You'll need to convert a whole room to the task. You'd probably be happiest with a small closet or...

I've found that the specific medium you grow with is less important than what you soak it with. In other words, you can grow just as well with hydroton, coco, rockwool, or whatever as long as you're using good quality nutrients. When your nutrients are properly mixed, highly soluable, chelated...
