    ice CFL pics..

    i have nirvana ice on 4 26watt cfl currently (plan to add more later). i noticed with just 4 CFLs (about 3 inches away) the leave edges were curling up like a V. so i backed them up to around 5-6 inches and they seem to have returned to normal. why would they curl up with just 4 bulbs ...

    how much nutes for res size?

    my nutes say add 3tsp to 1 gal. so i was going to add 1tsp (1/3) so do i add that 1gal with 1tsp into my 10 gal res or do i need 1tsp for every gal? what if i had 40 gal res, is it still the same 1gal of nutes? or is it per gal of water? confused.

    vaporizer ain't getting me high..

    okay, i bought this "extreme vaporizer" a few months ago. I paid $300 for it and only used it a couple times. i found it uses more weed to get me as high as i usually get from using a bowl. i only put about 1/2 gram in it. maybe i'm not doing something right.. i get a little high but nowhere...

    how does this seedling look?

    healthy? popped out 3 days ago. stem is redish/dark purple, is that bad? it's ice i got from nirvana. i have a 26watt cfl with a 10 inch reflective dome about 7-8 inches from it. is that ok for now? the reflector really does push the light onto the seedling, will they stunt the seedling growth?

    if i am on veg stage would it help if i add some 2700k cfls? when i flower i would do the opposite, use some 6500k. i was thinking of trying a 2:1 cfl ratio. there are no scientific info on mixing spectrum to improve growth, or does it not make a difference.. curious

    how to tell if rockwool has enough water ..

    ok it's hard to tell when rockwool needs water or has too much water for seedlings. i figured it would seems simpler to weigh the cubes to tell if they need water and less chance of error for me. i used 2" inch cubes. dry they are 8 grams and after watered, 48 grams. the surface of the cubes...
