Hi all. I'm planning on trying hydroponics for my next grow. I was thinking a 4x8 ebb and flow tray with I guess the 100 gallon reservoir. My questions are, 1.) Is it a good idea to use the ebb and flow technique? The one thing I worry about is the roots. Is 10-15 minute water run...

Hey RIU. Its about time I started to make a little journal for myself. I as well as many members in the RIU community abide under the laws of Prop 215 and I only grow my legal limits. First of all, I am growing 4 diesel ryders hoping for atleast 1 female 1 male. The rest I don't care about. I'm...

I've got them. Fuck. I knew there was something fishy when the perlite on the top of my soil turned lightweight green. What should I do? I was told something about draining my water with a soapy mixture? I don't know but they're really annoying. Suggestions please and thanks ahead.

Hi all, I'm currently about 6 weeks into flowering. And around the initiation into flowering I started to notice little fruit flies flying around. I doubt theyre very harmless unless theyre taking huge shits all over my buds in that case that would be no fun... But I was wondering what my best...

What can I find out from my GE I-70-S 240v meter? I'm not very good with electrical stuff, but not stupid enough to go over. I've looked it up and I usually see these meters with 120v. Does anyone know what that means? Right now I'm trying to find out if my house has 15amp or 20amp wiring.

I was curious because I am soon to flush and I don't want to buy gallons and gallons of water to flush, that if Brita filters are suitable for filtering out particles in the water? I'm thinking its better than just leaving tap water out for a few nights.

I was wondering how many lamps could I plug into one room? I was thinking of having 2 1000 watt lamps each plugged into their own outlet. That isn't too much is it? There will be more appliances running also but on different outlets. Thanks ahead of time.

Hi, I've used this HPS bulb for about 1 full grow, and 2 that equivs a half grow (flowering time). At the time I remembered the bulb being very hot. Now, I can put my hand 1 inch from the bulb. I forgot to mention that its a 600w HPS bulb. Not sure what brand. Will this affect my grow? I'm on my...

Hey guys, I've been trying to cure my bud lately. Its almost been a month and my technique currently is to leave it out for around 3-4 hours and then seal it back in a mason jar. I haven't been home everyday so I might skip a few days of curing. My temps in the area I cure are around 60 degrees...

Is it a bad idea to give a lot of different nutrients in one mixture? I'm planning on using advanced nutrients micro, grow, bloom, carbo load, sweet leaf,and dr. hornsby big bud, overdrive, and bud blood. Dr. hornsby would be used in different times, never together I believe in different weeks...

Hi, I'm new to growing and my plants are on their first week of flowering. I haven't used any nutrients in veg stage but I do plan to use some for flowering. My question is, what veg and flowering nutrients should I get? I'm looking into advanced nutrients because my friend is giving me his Big...

Hi, My plants are in their first week of flowering. I was wondering if it would be better for my buds if my lights were closer to my plants. Right now, I probably have them about 2 1/2 feet away from the top of my tallest plant. Sorry for crappy camera =)

Hey everyone. I'm having a little problem with a few of my fan leaves. Theyre a nice green but theyre having a bunch of brown (like dried dead leaf) spots and yellow dots on them. Anyone know why? I don't think its a nute problem seeing as I'm pretty much not giving them any nutes.

Hi guys, I made a post here about 2 months ago at the beginning of my grow. I started out with 8 plants, parted out only 1 male! I do have a problem of course, I have this maybe 1 month 1 week old Sensei plant that has already sexed itself but she is at a horrible growth pause in the main stem...

Since I fully covered my growbox, temps in there have been rising and rising. Now its at a steady 88 degrees. Anyone know how I can lower the temps? I have a duct connecting outside... but Im thinking the fan isn't sucking enough cold air in. Should I make a hole near the bottom of my growbox...

Hi, I'm a new grower and people have told me a lot of different things... I just want a straight answer from a professional. I have 2gallon buckets with 1 and a half week old seedlings in there. I use miracle grow soil and it drains pretty well, so I'm thinking about watering everyday, and maybe...

Hi, I have a question about my lighting situation. I know HPS is better than fluorescent, but I need to worry about my energy bill. I have a 600w HPS bulb and I'm curious if anyone would know around how much I'd save per day/month switching over to say... 4 60w fluorescents or however many I'd...

Hi, I just got my fan today in the mail and I tested it out.. Its really loud.. Too damn loud if you ask me. Is there a way I could make it more quiet? I'm thinking about getting a speed adjuster to maybe slow it down, but is there a sound muffler thats cheap around? DIY would be great too :)

I was wondering if this would work... I have one in-line fan connected to a carbon filter and on the other side, i have a duct connecting to the outside. Then I have another fan on the opposite side blowing air from my room. Would this work out? Could you guys tell me what I'm doing wrong if...
