I have what I'm assuming is plants herming on me, I'm wondering what I should do. I've done several harvests, just never run into this before. I'm probably about a week from when I planned to harvest, I'm posting as many pics as I could tried to get some good ones, so you can get an idea of...

I used to use GH calimagic, or Botanicare CalMg with my reverse osmosis water, for deficiencies but it was getting real expensive, so I searched for alternatives. I can't vouch exactly for the science behind what I did, but I can verify that my plants didn't die, and they also seemed to not...

Do HID Lights/Ballasts have built in restriking delays built in. I've considered integrating those $75 15 minute time delays or a DIY version, however I've not seen a need. I've had to move plug, had power surges, or just accidentally kicked out a plug several times, and the ballast/bulb never...

I just happened to pass this page in my daily stroll researching random stuff. I didn't really get permission to link, but it seems like its the type of site that wouldn't mind the traffic. This is not my info, just something I found that I found interesting...

Anyone know how to tell the difference between the active eggs and the empty shells? I had a 2-spotted mite issue, after 8 days of treatment I haven't seen any live activity for at last 6 days, however there is still plenty of eggs to be found. It's my understanding that the shells are left...

Hey all, Currently wanting to add light to my flower room, using 4 1000w HIDs with XXXL "ocho" hoods. The room is 12x12 and wondering if I should go with 6 lights, or if that might be over kill and should just go 5. What do you think? Also open to other ideas, such as vertical, or other...

I'm not exactly sure what direction I plan to go with this thread, but there is info I have been looking into for a few days now, and would love to hear other people's input. If I start going into items that are common knowledge, I'd love to hear more details about them. I wasn't sure what...

Wanted to get people's opinions on this. Currently I put my clones from root cube/aero or solo cup seedlings to 1 gallon pots. My final pots are 15 gallon, possibly upping that. My issue is that my babies roots fill a 1 gallon pot real quick. By 6" tall or so, roots are through the drain...

Anyone ever transplant from a larger pot to a smaller sized? The reason I want to do this is my Mother plant is in a 15 gallon pot, and taking up too much real estate. I never need to take more than a dozen cuttings or so at a time, and can easy get that size out of a 1 gallon pot if I really...

I currently have a NG powered tankless water heater providing CO2 perfectly and cheaply to my flower room. On the other side of my basement is my veg, and I wanted to leech some CO2 over there. I'm not too concerned about inefficiency because my heater creates CO2 really fast, and NG is cheap...

Hi All, Setting up my new flower room. Have a little bit of experience with working in other grows and have been kinda delayed setting up my flower room. My veg has been going strong and is fully set up a while, but today I finally cleared the funds to buy the equipment to flip the lights on my...

Fungus gnat? And how many before i should worry?

, Beginning of burn? Gh 3 part in pro mix. Prob about 8 weeks vegged not sure inherited these as teens. Use RO water with cal mag. I feed with nutes twice then water. 15 gallon pots. I'm noticing the yellowing of the tips on the newest growth. Not too worried yet.

I recently inherited 5 plants from a friend, they were root bound in 1g pots, I think a little bit neglected until I got them. I don't know exactly what was done to them before I got them, potted in pro-mix. They were watered before they were brought to me, I think plain RO water. I...

Sup RIU, We all know that alot of grow supplies are just a repackaged version of something else with a higher price tag. I thought it would be educational and interesting for people to combine them all in one place. I'll add a few items to start, and edit as I remember and find more, and...

Need a screen for this guy: I'm still pretty new to my personal grow, though I've spent some time helping my friends with theirs. They are pretty skilled, but not really creative, and they use no real training methods other than basic pruning with a little LST. I was interested in doing...

I've been having issues keeping the heat up in my veg under a 1000 w MH. It pretty much stays high 60s. I have it vented but I put it on a timer to not vent so much and build up some heat. My question is how hot can I let my hood get? The metal top of the hood heats up real quick before the...

This is not my design just something I found 1 day and thought it might be of use to people. Was thinking of slapping one together myself. What I like about it is that it is dual stage, so it can monitor too hot or too cold and control 2 different devices accordingly like a fan and a space...

Anyone know if it's possible to maybe wire this backwards to get it to turn off at dark and on at light? Or if people have any ideas for ways to purpose this for DIY designs? I was thinking if reversible you could easily do a timing based co2 control or something. Even to control extra...

This is my DIY 4 1000w light controller with built in digital timer I based this design on a few different ones I found on the web. The only original poster I know I can thank personally is Watercooled from THCFARMER.com. The Thread for his under $50 lighting controller is found here...
