    Flower Sweetener: when do the flowers uptake the most?

    I use Liquid Karma and Banana Manna through the whole cycle, adding AN Bud Candy during flowering. Taste and tricomb count are exceptional.

    I thought I had Watering down but now I am CONFUSED

    I am currently using 7 gallon Smart Pots and I feed with a 2 gallon watering can. With 2 gals I can feed 3 pots and get run off. As far as the High times deal goes - If I am watering a gallon on each pot and watching 1/3 to 1/2 of the neuts running through the pot, down the drain - The question...

    Electrical help needed!

    I don`t know what the cord in pics 1+2 go to, as I have never seen them before. The socket in pic 3 comes from the hood to the ballast. If the wire from the hood is different than pic 3, you can buy a new socket/cord combo anywhere they sell ballasts. I think they are about $25

    How do you change your res?

    I use a small submersible pump to drain the res. This way I am able to keep adding water while I clean out the res to get all the sediment. 3/4 in tubing will fit into a standard hose so you can run the hose right up to your drain.

    advanced nutrients??????

    Go to the AN website and plug in Sensi and the type of grower you are in the calculator. You will get a list of all recommended neuts. The calculator is for hydro, but for dirt I plug in the size watering can I use to feed (2gal), as the res size. The list is long but it is your preference what...

    how can i prevent mold in my res and wool rock?

    All good answers. My cure is to cover the table in panda film - white side up - then cut an X large enough for the rockwool cube to fit in. I then place the cube and tape the slit points back together leaving a circular hole about 3in in diameter. this not only stops the algae but reflects some...

    Is it ok to to switch lights to on at night and off during our day light?

    I agree with the above comments and have only to add, that running lights at night is not only cooler, but cheaper, as you will be running off-peak rates.

    Help with Final Phase clearing solution please!

    When I use Final Phase in dirt - I add 1 tablespoon to a 2 gal water can filled with water only. I flush in the morning and at night for 3-7 days until water runs out of the bottom of the pot . As for using with any other product - Directions say "Use only with water. Do not add to nutrient...

    Smart Pots

    I have just started using them on part of my grow. Too early to tell how good they are. It is cool the way the roots poke through the pots. The one thing I have noticed is how quickly they dry out, meaning more frequent watering.

    I made my med poison!

    I have been using Hot Shot strips for 2 years with no problems. I can not say off hand what happened to your plants, but I have never had anyone talk about your symptoms while discussing my weed. I hope it was just a fluke.

    Waited too long to flush... now what?

    If you are using General Hydroponics already just pick up some FloraKleen. I flush twice a day - morning and night for 3-4 days. Water until it runs out of the bottom. You do not have to worry about stress, as they will be stressed to death in a couple of days.

    Advanced Nutrients Sensi Bloom

    I use Sensi grow/bloom in dirt and hydro. I used the old calculator (still available for a while). To get the mixture for dirt, I use the size of the watering can (2 gal) as the reservoir size. I did run the new calculator but it seems to be buggy - as it only wants to give me the mix for 95 gal...

    curious

    I play Sonic Bloom for 3 hrs at the start of the light cycle - plants seem to like it just fine. Trichome production, at 4 weeks of flowering, seems better than usual-about what I would see at harvest. This is the first time I have used this particular music, but I have played classical for the...

    need an electrician for ? on running 240v

    I did what you are talking about but I used an open space in the box. I ran a 8/3 wire (recommended by timer box manu) from a 40 amp fuse to my timer box (Master lighting controller - MLC - 8DX Duel trigger). This controls 8 lights, but same difference ( just larger wire). The duel trigger...

    maybe i can try craigslist

    Market slowed in the NW for a while recently. Gov started finding grows of upwards of 5000 plants in the state parks and such. Prices went to shit and people started to get pissed when they started to find poppy grows along side weed. Bad timing when they are trying to upgrade the Med laws to...

    Spider mites

    The fogger is air born. Turn off all circulation and exhaust and set it off. Use during lights off period. Before lights on again - turn on all your circulation to vent the room. As for late flowering use - everyone has an opinion. Mine is go for it. This is backed up by this _...

    Can Algae in ebb and flow hurt my plants?

    Exactly. The panda film is used to keep the roots in the dark and also reflects light back up to the lower branches. I use it in both my mid-growth clone tray and my full sized tables.

    Spider mites

    I generally use insecticidal soap spray in a minor infestation. It is safe to use till day of harvest. If you miss it and get a major infestation - major weapons are needed. Pyrethrin foggers seem to work to knock down the major infestation but beware of using to often as the mites will build a...

    WTF? Shrooms in my soil!

    Don`t worry - it happens a lot. It just comes with the dirt.
