    Organic/safe insecticide?

    I was thinking that on my next grow, I'd like to douse the soil with something to kill any insects/larvae before planting. Is there an inexpensive product that will do this and is safe to use?

    Diagnosis please

    This plant looked great until yesterday. I don't see anything like this on the other ones. What happened?

    The Fox Farms feeding schedule says to feed Tiger Bloom twice a week

    For me, this would be every watering, which seems excessive. I'm growing autos in FFOF. I just started using TB at 1/4 the recommended strength, with plans to increase to full strength over the next 3 feedings or so. The other nutes I'm giving are Big Bloom, CaliMagic, and Recharge, all at...

    Best method of removing excess alcohol?

    I'd like to make some tincture and/or oil using Everclear. I live in an apartment, so I really need to do the entire operation indoors if possible. How can I remove either a large percentage of the alcohol to get a strong tincture, or all of it to get an oil that I can smoke, relatively...

    Six plants in a 4 x 2 tent

    I don't know if I can make this work all the way to harvest, but I'm going to try. These are all autos in 3 gallon pots. Left to right, front to back: FastBuds Green Crack (19 days from sprout), FastBuds LSD-25 (32 days from sprout), FastBuds Jack Herer (29 days from sprout), MSNL Girl...

    Looking for a reliable, inexpensive decarboxylator

    I tried decarbing in my oven, but it won't heat reliably to anything under about 300 deg, and even if it would, I'm concerned about cycling and its effect on the process. I'd like to find a machine that will just decarb (not trying to make butter), and can be depended on to maintain the correct...

    I've been using Fox Farms Big Bloom, looking for cheaper alternative

    To back up a bit, I'm almost positive I had a Potassium deficiency, so I looked through the nutes I had on hand, and saw that BB appeared to be the only one that contained Potassium. I started feeding that heavily, and it seems to have resolved the issue. And I like the idea of also providing...

    Where to buy bongs and such?

    Where is a reliable place to buy accessories? I need a bong and a sploof, for starters, and I'd prefer to stick to a single business if possible. I'm avoiding ebay and Amazon because I really don't want these types of purchases recorded on my account. I would much prefer a dedicated...

    Recommendation for a water distiller for making oil?

    I thought that this topic must been covered here previously, but a search didn't find a recommendation of a specific distiller, or even much info at all regarding this method. I found this video on youtube: , and thought that this looked like an inexpensive and simple way to make oil. Also, I...

    Yellow spots on seedlings

    These spots just appeared today on 2 of my seedlings. The only thing I can think of that I've done differently recently is that I added Calimagic, at the recommend concentration, to yesterday evening's watering. Is this something that I should be concerned about?

    Inexpensive clip-on fan with good airflow?

    I have a 4 x 2 tent, and my only fan is a ginormous 18" one. I want to get a fan that I can clip to one of the support poles, that won't take up a lot of room but will provide enough airflow to move the plants around so they develop strong stems. And I'm already over budget for this grow, so I...

    Water, calmag, and related stuff

    My plants are only a few days old, but I'm trying to plan a bit ahead. One of the most common supplements that I hear discussed is calmag, so I'm wondering if I'm likely to need it. So far, I've been using distilled water, but I'm open to suggestions there. My soil is 50/50 FFOF and FFHF...

    Seedling toppled over

    My Girl Scout Cookies Auto seedling started out growing at an angle to the light, and seemed to me to have a spindly stem. Sometime in the last couple of hours, it toppled over, and the top has already turned upward toward the light. Should I try to prop it up, or leave it alone? The light is...

    When to start using Recharge?

    My plants are only a few days old, but I'm wondering when I should start adding Recharge. The soil is 50/50 peat and Happy Frog with added Perlite surrounding the seedlings, with 50/50 Ocean Forest and Happy Frog with Perlite under and around that.

    Inexpensive, accurate hygrometer?

    I hope this is the right forum for this thread. I want to get a hygrometer - I'm pretty sure I'm going to need two before long, actually - but I've been dropping a lot of coin on grow stuff lately and I need to try to save some $. I was looking at a ThermoPro, but there were a lot of reviews...

    Can anyone recommend a good auto LSD strain that's in stock?

    Everything I've been finding is either out of stock, or from a breeder that has garnered a lot of bad reviews here, or that I can't find any information on.

    New guy with a light question

    I'm about to start my first grow, and the idea was to keep to a limited budget. I decided that instead of buying a grow tent or two, I would use the bathtub in an unused bathroom (I'll be using fabric pots; I'm not going to fill the bathtub with dirt ;)). I'm going with autoflowers, and I...
