I'm definitely going to be watching. Even if he gets small roots in 7 days I'll be doing the same as him lol. Seems like anymore I can't clone anything. Not sure what the problem is because I've been doing it the same as I did in the past and I always had roots within a weeks time, now I get...

Illegal Smile, lights = heat. When lights are on temps will go up, unless you have an A/C unit in the room. Room size is 6X7X7, temp by the door stays around 78-80, temp by buckets stay at a constant 80-85. So if water, or anything else for that matter stays in there long enough it will...

O.K., I stopped being lazy and googled how to test the PH in soil, one way that I keep coming across is: Gather 1 cup of potting soil into a plastic Ziploc bag. Remove objects like rocks, twigs and wood. Also remove any...

Sounds great dbkick. I am always on the look out for new ideas and new ways of how to grow, vegetables and flowers that is, lol.

Thanks for the link Desr. I find it interesting the difference in PH levels between Hydro and Soil. I'm pretty sure there is a good reason behind it, I just don't know what it is lol. So if one would to grow in soil it would be best to lower their soil PH down to 6.5, based off of that chart...

I'm not sure that a ph level of 12 is good for anything lol. Which that brings up another question. I know I've read it plenty of times in the past, but I've been hydro for a while and can't quite remember. What is the optimal PH level in soil? I would guess that it's somewhere around 6.5 to...

No, it's cool about the posts. I like the cooler idea, looks awesome. I made one similar to that but out of an 18 gallon tote, but it leaked alot lol. I had to put it inside a bigger tote to catch the water and had to use a cup to bail the water out of the bigger tote back into the smaller...

PakaloloHui, I was thinking something similar to that. I was thinking about getting a few of those small foam coolers, or get a bucket that is a little bigger and put the DWC bucket into that and pour ice in between the DWC bucket and the outer bucket/foam cooler and cover the top with...

I didn't know it had calcium and magnesium in it too. Is powdered agricultural lime the same as dolomite lime?

So what is the purpose of using powdered lime in your soil mix?

I was thinking about connecting them together but didn't think about getting a chiller. Good ideas and your turn gives me a lot to think about. That's what I love do much about this stuff, there is always something new to try.

Thanks for all the great info, I'm gonna go out and look for some of that Roots Organic. Ill also go get some of the dolomite as mentioned. So far my ph meter is reading 6.8 for the soil mix I made. I mixed Sunshine Advance Mix #4, worm castings, a little vermiculite. The worm casting to...

I'm sure it's been asked a zillion times already but what is the best soil, in your opinion that is on the market? Also if one were to want to "build" their own soil or soil less mix what is a good reliable recipe. I've seen the super soil recipe by subcool, maybe someone has a better option...

I don't work the grave yard shift but during the 12/12 cycle the lights are out about 2 hrs after I get home. I mainly want one so I can refresh the bubble buckets with new water and nutes, ph it, and basically just sit there and admire them some more. It's a nice get away. Gotta love and...

Thanks for the info guys. Room temp is running around 75 to 78, but that's away from the lights, top of buckets are running around 80 to 84 on one and the other runs around 90. Two different types of reflectors are being used, one is a bat wing and that's the one that runs higher temps at the...

People say to use black colored buckets when you do a DWC because it blocks out light preventing the growth of algae. I understand this cause light + water = algae. But after losing a battle to root rot it left me wondering how could I keep the water temps down in 5 gallon buckets low enough...

Ok thanks for the info guys. I will definitely get one or two of them.

I hear that it is safe to use green lighting in your flowering room during the dark period in order to tend to your plants. I found a place that sells green incadescent light bulbs for a good price and was wondering if those are safe or do they have to be some kind of special growers bulb? I...

What size pot is it in? If its not from over watering it could be from being root bound if the pot is small. I had the same problem before and thought it was over watering, but once I transplanted into bigger pot things went back to normal.

Well, atleast the fan and filter is being used for a good cause instead of going to the scrap yard for a couple dollars. lol
