Any tips for getting rid of the old roots and salt buildup? I read a couple old posts and saw some info about sterilizing it but not much about getting rid of all the old roots.

I've been noticing very slow growth lately as the temp in my basement has dropped with the weather and I realize I need to do something to raise it as the cold weather will persist for a number of months. Previously it hadn't been much of a problem as I had less efficient lights that threw out a...

I've been through a few grows now utilizing a 5'x5' tent and i'm starting to run into the problem of plants getting too top heavy and unable to support themselves. I grow in 2.5 gallon hempy buckets with straight perlite and do a lot of super-cropping to spread the plants out and keep the height...

Built an aerocloner and was pleased to be able to achieve close to 100% rooting success rate on my first time using it. I'd planned to pick the best and toss the rest but decided to gift a few to a friend. I am growing in 100% perlite hempy buckets but my friend will be growing them in soil...

Hello, Running straight perlite hempy buckets and things are going well. Just started flowering and the 2 gallon buckets dry up pretty quick. Not a problem when I'm home (although it is getting to be a lot of work bending over and watering by hand all the time) but the real problem is that I...

I've been using the Lucas formula with Maxibloom with added CalMag and have gotten pretty good results. I'm almost out of Maxibloom and need to order more nutrients so I wanted to learn more about Jack's. I'm all about cost savings and efficiency and from what I've heard Jack's is the best...

Running straight perlite hempy buckets with the Lucas formula (Maxibloom at 7g/gallon of tap water). Plants are at about week 4/5 of veg but appear to be a lighter lime green color then previous grows using the same nutes. I recently went to much stronger lighting so I thought perhaps that was...

I apologize if this question has been asked a million different times but I'm looking at some light options and could use some advice. I've done a couple grows under a blurple light and I'm ready to step it up. Flowering area is a 5x5 tent currently. Could become a room about 2 1/2-3 times...

New grower who has previously experimented with low stress training by tying branches down using garden twine and using bamboo stakes to support branches later in flowering. Now I'm looking for a more efficient way to both help train and support the plants and looking for options. I am...

Can anyone tell me much about the platinum collection from The Single Seed Center? I’m a new grower and they had some good prices on some well known strains but as those seeds are the only ones not tied to a featured seed bank I was wondering if anyone had any info on them. For example, if I...

Hello, I am currently growing in a Vivosun 60"x60"x80" grow tent and still need to figure out ventilation for it and am looking for some advice before I make the purchase. I've been thinking of going with 6" fan and carbon filter and I'm likely going to have the fan hooked up directly to a...

Currently running my first grow which I started from seed in my grow tent with a 1k equivalent LED. I’m about to switch to flower soon and will be taking some clones so I don’t have to start from seed next time. I’ll start these in solo cups and eventually transfer to 3.5 gallon buckets and...

Hello, Working on my first grow currently in soil and would like to give hempy buckets a try next. I’ve been doing some research and I’m thinking I want to keep it simple and use straight perlite. I’ve read through a few threads where they did this and I saw it was recommended to use “chunky”...

Hello, Working on my very first grow (Nirvana’s northern lights) in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil in 3 gallon buckets. I’ve just been using plain water so far and things are going well but when I switch them to flower (probably at the 6 week mark) I want to start feeding them. From what I’ve...

Total newbie here looking to purchase a T5 lighting and I was just wondering if anyone could share some suggestions on particular brands/models. Did a little searching and it seems there is quite a few out there with a range of prices. I don't want to end up buying one and being disappointed...

Hello, newbie here with a lighting question. I'm in the process of aquiring the knowledge and materials needed to start my first grow (on a tight budget) and while looking at different lighting options for vegging I'm really considering going with a metal halide. I've been watching craigslist...
