    Going on vacation what to do with seedlings?

    Yikes. They are in their most vulnerable stage right now, so obviously the worst time to leave them unattended. I definitely wouldn't want to leave seedlings outside this early in the season - animals are quick to eat young fresh vegetation. I also wouldn't want any container that I planned...

    Higher Yields?

    With organics you really only need to flush for like 3 days, so it's possible you could cut it down even more if you wanted. Organic nutrients don't build up like salt-based synthetics. We use and love House & Garden nutrients which although are not organic, are also not salt-based. The...

    Higher Yields?

    1.5 per plant in 3's is pretty good in my opinion. You could try flushing only for 7 days instead of 14, giving your plants another week of possible growth. Honestly, as you mentioned the only thing you can do is add more light/co2/nutrients/water.

    400 watt mh light height

    There's no set answer to this due to a number of environmental factors. The BEST way to determine light height is to put your hand at the plant tops with the light at the desired height and then just wait a few seconds. Is it warm? Is it hot? If you were the plant in the container, would you...

    Check the price on this Grow Cabinet

    It's definitely cute! I guess the price isn't "bad" if you're limited to a space and you want something pre-fab for you. I would just build my own tent for a few hundred dollars less, but that's me. It seems to be a very nice little setup though.

    What Fan Should I Use For A 4x8 Tent With 2x1000w Lights?

    Yes, Botanicare did make new trays that are 4' Outside diameter instead of 4' inside diameter. This allows them to fit in all the 4' grow tents. There is Secret Jardin tents also out there. I've owned Grow Lab and Secret Jardin. They are of comparable quality and construction. I purchased...

    What Fan Should I Use For A 4x8 Tent With 2x1000w Lights?

    Sounds like you have more than enough fan for the 2 1000w lights. Ports being smaller than your fan is pretty whack indeed. How big are the ports? 6" I'm guessing? Do you already have your reflectors? If not, you could look into 6" air cooled reflectors. You could then put the Can fan...

    I'm having serious problems with worms/ caterpillars and mites please help

    BOMB THAT SHIT! Haha. But seriously, if you're in veg, then an easy way to handle the issue is a pyrethrin bomb! If you're into flower the situation gets a little stickier, but figuratively and literally. I use Mighty wash once every 4 weeks and Neem Oil wash every 2 weeks to keep mites...

    Auto Seeds

    I'd say go for it. I've been most surprised by seeds I've gotten from "up-and-coming" or "less-than-reputable" companies. I just always make sure I order ONE thing from someone reputable so I know that I didn't completely waste my time making a purchase.

    how good are dual hose A/C units

    They are sealed to a point. They do a fairly good job, however, there is inevitably a little bit of room air that gets pulled into the exhaust chain. We ALWAYS run a Ozone generator (http://www.blueairproducts.com) inline of our exhaust. Now, I knew a guy who created his sealed room using...

    I messed up!! Left lights on in flower!

    Cool. I know a few guys who "don't trust timers" so they always try to turn everything on when it's time, but WITHOUT fail they end up fucking their light schedule up here and there. Us on timers take the ol Ronco approach. Set it and forget it. Boom.

    Teas??

    You're trying to make fertilizer-type tea I take it? You can use almost any decomposed organic compound in aerated water to make a tea. A lot of people use worm castings. I have done so in my outdoor gardens and love it. Indoors, we don't use fertilizer teas. No specific reason, nor am I...

    HPS vs CFL for SMALL boxes

    CFLs advantages for small boxes: - CFLs are cheaper - They are cheaper upfront, but down the road may cost you more in electricity/replacement costs. - CFL are easier to find and buy and it's ready to use - if ready to use you mean rigging up multiple light plugs into your box, then yes. An HPS...

    I messed up!! Left lights on in flower!

    You should really invest into a light timer. You can get them as cheap as $10 and I've yet to have one fail in 10 years.

    humboldt county snowstorm?

    You're talking about Humboldt Nutrients. The products under discussion (Snow Storm, Crystal Burst, Gravity, Bushmaster) are actually by a company called Emerald Triangle that use a tag slogan of "Humboldt County's Own", so often to much their delight, their products are confused with a much...

    Dinafem definitely gave us a Diesel mother that we love. I've also been surprised by Pyramid Seeds, and Royal Queen Genetics!

    Gamble while purchasing seeds?

    racerboy pretty much covered it all. We've used a few different seedbanks but have always found ourselves going back to Attitude. Also, like racerboy said there are tons of good breeders out there now. I'm not gonna lie, more often than not I am most impressed by the freebies I get from...

    So what is your question? Yes, using the bathtub to expand the coco is normal. I know some people like to use kiddie pools because you can work around all sides.
