In the past I've used mostly Botanicare products for my grows. For my current grow I placed an online order for more of the same but the dealer made a mistake and shipped me Bio Bizz products...Bio Grow, Bio Bloom and Alga Mic instead. Rather than return these I decided to make use of them. Now...

I have a TDS meter coming and I'd like to get some opinions on the best way to use it with General Hydroponics Flora 3 part. My seedlings are about 1.5 weeks old. Can someone give me a general idea for doses.... starting with seedlings, then veg and finally bloom. Again, this is a soil grow...

I'm going to be upgrading my reflector to an air-cooled model. I've been looking at inline fans for the reflector and wondered how well an axial-type fan would work. I found these... $40.00 for a 6" rated at 235 cfm. Any reason this wouldn't work with ducting?

Here we go. She is 9 weeks flowering today. Trichs were about 20% amber. I already know what she is capable of (having sampled some last week) and didn't want a real heavy couch lock. A lot of 1st time grower mistakes were made along the way...nute burn, pH issues, fucking Thrips etc. To be...

I'm normally a soil grower but have been toying with the idea of a DWC setup. We have a bunch of Rubbermaid containers around the house (funny how you never pay them much attention until you realize they are for more than just storage). Anyway, I would like to know what size container will...

High Tech Garden Supply's grow tent. I'm toying with the idea of buying one. Has anybody bought one...and how does it perform? I read that it has a PVC inner lining which, as some of you know, can emit toxic gases and fuck up your crop. I think the Hydro Hut brand was one of them. Can anyone...

I mixed my GH Flora (GMB) using 1-2-3 formula. Aerated it for 24 hours and fed her this morning. Normally I wait til she shows a little droopiness before watering and afterwards she perks right up. This time she didn't. I waited a few hours and stlil she looks the same. Then it occurred to...

I am not really feeling happy about my current nutes, which is TechnaFlora BC products. This may end up as a rant so please bear with me here. Since flowering my gal in soil, I've fed her bloom nutes 3 times, following the Recipe For Success they advertise. Feed-water-water-feed. I've fed at...

I found this at The Vaults Of Erowid and thought it might make for an interesting and humorous read. (revised only to correct spelling and punctuation) I hope you all enjoy! Smoking Etiquette [the unchecked version]...

For soil grow...I currently mix my nutes (Technaflora) in 1 gallon of distilled water. Thing is, I only feed once a week and then, only 1/2 gallon at a time. Will the other unused 1/2 gallon still be fresh when the next feeding comes around?

I was thinking about catching a few spiders from outside and putting them in my grow room. Would this be an effective means of prevention for controlling pests?

In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only...

My order from Dr. Chronic was intercepted recently by customs in Chicago. This was my first time ordering and I'm wondering if I should try another order. I'm a bit paranoid, thinking my name is on some customs "watch list" or some shit, so I'm not sure what to do. Common sense tells me just...

For my first grow, I ordered a 400w MH...knowing that the higher kelvin would be beneficial for the veg. But as I read these forums I see that a majority of people are vegging with HPS. What am I missing here? Why is there a preference towards HPS over MH?

I'm currently using a 400w MH (4100 kelvin) lamp for my vegging. I was thinking, when I get ready to go to 12/12, could I use a 3000k MH lamp? HTG has the AgroMax 400w MH 3000k bulb for $60. http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=47292 Seems to me it would be a helluva lot cheaper...

Decided to make use of an unused shower stall in my basement. Just got a 400w MH today and hung it up. I still need to light-proof the stall, but as I plan on vegging for a few more weeks, I'll get to that later. And my 25 day old baby started under CFL... Now I've a few grown a few...
