    Caregiver, Patient Matchmaking Thread!

    Some guy awhile back tried to start a thread for this, but it was pretty much hijacked by people arguing over the thread title. I figured I would give it another shot; Caregiver accepting patients in the Muskegon/Grand Haven/Grand Rapids area. Hydroponically and soil grown medicine is...

    Did this guy F*** me over?

    I bought this "mother" from a guy I though was a trusted friend, but the clones coming off of it are starting to look awfully father like. What do you guys think? I don't wan't to believe it, but I've never seen a female preflower like this.

    Rant: "I'll beat any advertised price!" Says the hydrodouche

    Anyone seen this repeating theme? Seller's trying to sucker you into buying things from their store without looking up competitors prices. I have one grow store within 40 miles of my house, and every time I go to it a guy I have fondly come to know as the "hydrodouche" is working the counter...

    Advice on lighting

    I'm looking to switch from HIDs to LEDs or fluorescents, but I'd like to hear from growers with experience with the different lighting systems. I've been using HIDs for about 2 yrs now. The results are fantastic but the power bill is cost prohibitive. I've looked into LEDs but I've heard more...

    Anyone know of any sealants strong enough to build a wooden flood table with?

    I'm doing a DIY flood and drain system out of wood. The problem is I need some kind of liquid rubber waterproofing. Blue max is good but its $200 minimum which defeats the purpose of DIY. Anyone have any suggestions for a good sealant?

    Alternative to "Blue Max" for DIY Flood and Drain

    https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/401668-diy-flood-table.html I want to use this format, but the price of Blue Max makes DIY pretty pointless. Anyone know of an alternative?

    Advice on a low maintenance hydro set up.

    I've been thinking about doing some kind of hydro for awhile. For awhile know I've done coco+soil with about a 50/50 mix, results have been great but I'd like to give some kind of hydro a shot. The problem is I work a lot, monday and thursday tend to be the gauntlet for new plants as I have 13...

    Spidermites/Thrips treatment

    I've tried just about everything, and I can't wipe them out. Thinking of trying talstar pro, its normally for larger insects, and barns but it has extraordinary reviews so I figure maybe it can take out mites too...

    Fogponics cloning (any opinions)

    Thinking of giving fogponics a shot, probably going to try cloning before doing it large scale. Anyone ever try it? I'm probably just going to do a very basic fogponics/dwc setup to start of with similar to the a lot of people build basic aero cloners. Storage container, 2 inch hole...

    100% clone death.... wtf

    I cut from a healthy mother. Usually clones about 4 to 6 inches tall, trim them down to about 3 leaves. Dip them in Rootech then plant them about an inch down in the little Root Riot cubes. I have tried with, and without the humidity dome with no success. Tried humidity ranges between 60 and...

    LEDs any good for clones, and seedlings?

    Before you flame, yes I did cool and forum search it. There is alot of discussion about whether or not they are good for adult grow plant cycles however there is little to none about young plant growth. I am happy with MH, and HPS for my adult plants, and don't intent on switching. However...

    To prevent shock I am considering using the plastic cup technique with happy frog soil (the soil I use for mature plants) to germinate seeds. However I think their is a small amount of organic fertilizer in the soil. Any soil growers have any advice on how this might work out? Thanks for...

    Advice on CO2 enrichment

    So I don't have money for any CO2 enrichers so I figured maybe sparkling water might work. I picked up a bottle of low sodium Canada Dry Club Soda. For the young plants a plan on spraying the surfaces AROUND the plants, and not the plants at all. For the larger plants the idea is the same...

    Revised Feed/Water Schedule (Would Love Input)

    Previously I was feeding once a day 300mL per day, I have been advised that this is not an effective schedule. So I have revised my weekly watering and feeding schedule to provide a similar amount of water with slightly less feed, and left more time for the soil to spend "dry". Keep in mind...

    More problems then what is even reasonable

    Sorry my first post on here is full of problems, but I guess I didn't even think about joining a forum till I got overwhelmed with problems. 1.) I have already harvested this plant, but I really like the genetics of this plant. It grows fast, huge, and makes really good smoke. Any...
