    Dyna-Gro vs Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur (AK47 Grow)

    Hi Homebrewer. I have been reading through some of your journals and want to try Dyna-Gro. It is not readily available here in Ontario so I will have to ask them to international ship. Adding to the cost. I am going to order it anyway after I have used the last of my DutchMaster nutes. In the...

    Best way to pevent or remove the smell of weed after a harvest?

    I just use gloves. And change my clothes after a long hot shower. In fact I glove up any time I touch the plants. Other than harvest I avoid touching my plants after the 3rd week of flower. I think you need strong soap and shampoo as well.

    Rockwool users

    I learned a lot from Al. Read all of his threads. I have been lazy lately and stretching rez changes out to 4 weeks. I get away with it because of the bennies. Yes I have to add nutes in every 4-5 days to bring EC back up as the plants consume food. NPK probably does get a little out of whack...

    Rockwool users

    I use a layer of rockwool croutons in the bottom of the 1 Gal pot and then fill with straight perlite. Clones are in 1.5" mini block just like Al. Works fine. I use Heisenburgs tea for the root zone and flood 4 times during lights on. Root balls in the pots look and smell wonderful. PH slowly...

    silicate???

    I use perlite in 1 gal pots with 3/4" of rockwool croutons in the bottom to stop the perlite from escaping. I flood every 3 hrs during lights on. But I have flooded as little as once a day. Plants have gone a couple of days with out wilting depending on size. My moms are in 3 gal pots and are...

    silicate???

    From my experience it works as advertised. Spider mites were a constant in my garden, usually under control but always present. Finally got my hands on mighty wash, sprayed my whole garden a couple of times and started to add pottasium silicate to my rez. Havent seen a mite or sprayed anything...

    Reusing Perlite

    Thought this might be the best place to ask. I grow SOG style flood and drain. Plants are in 1 Gal pots. I put a small layer of Rockwool mini cubes in the bottom of the pots and then fill with 100% Perlite. I brew a batch of Heisenburgs Tea once a week for my tanks. Can I safely reuse the...

    DNF nutes! whats your mix?

    I have found the bloom fortifier must be used very sparingly. If at all. The Hydro Sparkle is sold in other countries as Hydro Fungicide. Google it for info. I used it when I ran RDWC and DWC. It did absolutely prevent the dreaded slime that Heisenburgs Tea works so well on. And that is after I...

    Looking for flood schedule advice.

    I think I will start by flooding my moms every 3 hours. See how they do. I will also add another flood to my flowering plants. Lights on -- Half way -- Just before lights off. I am also going move to wider pots for the moms. Most of the root mass is in the bottom 2 inches of the pots. There are...

    Is there any advantage to flooding more frequently? I am currently using H2O2 in the rez but will be switching to Heisenbergs tea soon.

    Fan speed controller - different speeds day/night?

    I bought one of these controllers after my new 8" fan sucked all of my centrally air conditioned air out of my house faster than it could be replaced. Best bit of kit I have bought so far, this is what you want for sure. The idle setting is high enough to maintain negative pressure in the room...

    I am actually in the market for a Titan Controls Mercury 4. I just upgraded to an 8" Fan and it is sucking all of the Air Conditioned air out of my home and it can't keep up in this heat wave. The unit comes with a temperature control that ramps up the the fan speed as the temps go further from...
