I will post some in the AM. My gut tells me something isn't right but I haven't quite figured out the source of problem if one does indeed exist.

So I recently just switched from hand-watered coco to DWC. I'm using Coleman coolers with holes drilled out in the lids. Temps are not really an issue. I had the smallest light leak around where my air hoses come in but that has since been plugged. I'm using only FloraNova and Roots...

Funny that you say this. Before I opted for this coco method, I had tried to put the seedlings directly in the cloner. They were dangling by their cotelydons in neoprene inserts. The problem is that I'm not the most dexterous person and I broke a few taproots out of the 20 seeds I germed (the...

Excellent. I think I'll germ in paper towel then plant in beer cups. Once the root system is established I will transplant the coco to 5" netpots and away we go. Thanks!

New to DWC and wondering if I can get away with using coco in the netpot instead of rockwool surrounded by hydroton. I've got a lot of experience with coco and like it, but I want to try DWC. I can already tell that I hate rockwool and hydroton. Since my system is non-rericulating, the little...

When a seed bank carriers a strain and states that indoor flowering is 8 weeks or whatever it may be, is it 8 weeks from 12/12 or 8 weeks from when pistils show or ? I've always assumed you start counting days immediately after switching to 12/12. If I'm wrong on this point then I may be...

How do the jiffy pucks fit into your process? I've never used them. If you could elaborate a bit more I'd appreciate it :D Do you just use the puck in place of a neoprene collar (assuming it's appropriately sized for your aeroponic system)? My aeroponic cloner uses neoprene inserts with a...

Two questions. Rather than germinate in rockwool, I was wondering if I could germinate in a paper towel and then once the tap root is an inch or so I'd place the seedling in a neoprene collar above an aeroponic mister/cloner (I'd obviously take care not to crush the tap root). I'd then...

I'm curious to get your opinion on the best seeds/breeders available at Hemp Depot in 2013. Price isn't really a consideration. I'm looking for the most potent genetics (with a preference for indoor flowering at 63 days). I hadn't done serious research the last few times I ordered so just...

I'd like to try the Lucas Formula out with Promix BX (amended with a bit of perlite and that's it). I don't have a res. I mix the nutes and hand water. I'm looking to dial down a basic setup and then possibly experiment with additional supplements once I've got that figured out. My base is...

Thanks! I'll apply next watering and for a few after that. I usually only water every 4th day as that's how long it takes for the pot to get light again. So it'd get a few doses if I followed your regimen. How often do you water when using coco?

I've read a lot of conflicting things so I'm just going to ask. I'm growing in Canna Coco and use A/B with a little bit of Calmag. The strain I'm working with gets harvested 63 days after going 12/12. How many days into this 63 cycle until I apply P/K for the week? I'm currently on Day 22 of...

I recently made the switch to Canna Coco and am currently in the middle of my first grow with this medium. I just flipped the lights to 12/12 the other day. I've always harvested this particular strain (Kandy kush) 60-63 days after going 12/12. Now, at the moment I'm just using A+B with a...

Willing to pay a premium device if it's reliable, durable and accurate (in fact, I kind of want to go this route). The one I have now is complete shit, so I just don't bother using it. I'm looking for something I can buy online. It'd be nice if it also adjusted for ambient temperature so I...

I've been using sunshine #4 and promix HP with mixed results. What is inexpensive, available in the Toronto area, and capable of growing cannabis without needing to be amended? No added dolomite. No worrying about pH, except for the nute solution that goes in. If there is one thing that drives...

I thought it was normal for an extension cord to feel a little warm for the first few feet, especially when it's carrying 1100 watts. You're saying it should feel ambient temperature throughout? The extension cord is rated for 1700 watts.

Just wondering if I am doing anything dangerous. I have two 1000 watters in mylar tents. The equipment for each tent is connected to its own power bar. Each power bar is connected to its own 50-foot extension cord. Both cords run to the same socket (which has 2 plugs; 1 used by each extension...

I have a 1000w HPS light with a digital Lumatek ballast. Am I using 1000w to power both items or 1000w + whatever energy the ballast needs to do its thang? If its the latter, how many watts does a 1000w ballast consume? Thanks

I'll take your advice. It's easy to get fixated on this stuff. I just don't want to go to jail, and, thanks to Mr. Harper, there is no way around it if I get busted since I have more than five plants. I'll feel a lot better once we kick the Conservatives out and repeal their retrograde...

Thanks everyone. I've put in a call to Toronto Hydro's Privacy Office from an anon number. I am going to find out whether they will actually notify the authorities unprompted over high hydro bills, as the article I posted suggests. So far, I have been told that they only share that information...
