When using a silica product and a cal-mag additive with Jack's does this staement from general hydro remain true? When mixing Jack's you are to mix the cal-nit in last because of a chemical reaction forming gypsum. Therefore shouldn't you and the cal-mag product last? Wouldn't the calcium in...

I am planning on making an alfalfa tea for a foliar spray. Ingredients just 1 lbs fresh alfalfa, 1 gallon water, and some fulvic acid. I plan to blend and soak it for 24-48 hrs then filter out organic material. I have never tried this before so any advice from people with knowledge on the...

Has anyone tried using a fish tank uv filter to kill any bacteria in a recirculating reservoir? Seems a much better option than H202 or bleach. You can get a good one for $100 that is good for 125 gallons? You could run it non stop and not worry about any funk?

I'm curious what most people growing in hydro use most. Personally I have used ph and tds. Most meters I used gave "close numbers" but never seemed to be totally consistent. Lots people preach quality. Finally broke down and bought the bluelab kit. PH and EC meters. Holy shit, what a...

What is the difference in these products? Isnt it the same bacteria in each bottle? Huge price difference! Hydrogaurd label says it has .038% bacteria and is clear. Southern AG says it has 98.85% bacteria and is like chocolate milk. Is this because it so much more potent? Is Southern AG safe for...

I run a 12 bucket ebb n flow system with a 50 gallon reservoir. My mediem is hydroton and using 1000 watts veg and 2000 watts for flower. I am planning to use Jack's 3-2-1 formula on my next run. This formula comes out to a 3-1-4 NPK ratio. After reading so much I am considering adjusting the...

I have an 8x10 tent in a 10x13 room in the basement. Divider splits the tent space into 2 areas. 4x8 2000 watt HPS flower, and divider split with 8x6 area for 1000w MH veg. NOTE: All ebb n flow buckets, extra veg space is for control buckets etc. What size ductless system would you suggest? I...

Title says it all. Does it work? Still learning about led. Plants like higher temps with led, so I was unsure how much it will help or just fry up leaves? I know I could build strips cheaper than buying some. I have been down that rabbit hole for weeks! I am lazy and prefer someone who does it...

I want a good soil for mother plants. They will live at least 6 months to a year in my propagation area. FFOF is pretty high in nutes. I am considering blending 50/50 with pro mix HP to smooth it out and provide better drainage. Any thoughts or suggestions for a good mix would be appreciated.

I have been spending way too much for too long on Adv nutrients. I'm going to make a change. Now I thought I had my mind made up on GH flora series trio being a little more flexible than AN and less expensive. Now I came across a gr8 site with Peter's professional. I found 2 that seem like gr8...

I have been using AN sensi line at about 60-70% of the recommended feed chart with good results. I want switch to GH flora line, to try and save some cash. GH also offers a ton of additives in there feed chart. I use RO water so I always use a cal mag. What, if any, of these other supplements do...

I have a couple questions. I was told if you keep a mother plant it is best if it has never been flowered. Is there truth to that? Second why is it said that it's best to take cuttings from a flowering plant? I have been taking cuttings off of mother plants that just stay in my propagation area...

I have a 12 site ebb n flow set up with square 4 gallon buckets and square 3 gallon mesh inserts. I'm using hydroton as a medium, and an air stone in each bucket that I run when the buckets are flooded. My roots look crappy brown, so I am considering using smaller mesh baskets, 4 or 6 inch...

I have my small 5x5 grow with 5 plants. 1 of which has the top leaves cupping. Im not sure if it is from being to close to the light. It does not feel to warm to the hand and others near it are not affected? I am using bag mix soil with food in it. Again none of the other plants are affected...

I have never grown auto flowers before. I got a little godbud auto flower from a fellow gardner. Just a little taste for a friend u know. So happens i found a seed. Well obviously i need try and grow it cuz. Godbud is out of stock on attitude. My question is what are the chances it will...

Okay I'm a newbie. Someone suggested to me to lengthen the light cycle at the end of the flowering period. Would this help fatten up the flowers if u change back to 18-6the or more for the last 2 weeks to finish while flushing? I hope this isn't a stupid question but you have to start somewhere?

I am confused. I have grown outside several times. This is my 1st indoor grow. I am doing 5 clones and 1 unknown bag seed. The 5 clones look awesome but the bag seed is straggeld looking with much less budding than the clones. What has me confused is ,only on the bag seed, some of the upper...

Im wondering how many people use an external power supply to feed there grow rooms? Generators, solar panels, or something different? 2 1000 watt bulbs burning is alot of juice and I dont want to draw attention from the power company. How much of a hassle is it and solar sounds kinda pricey? But...

I have just started using a clone machine. I have been told they were designed to be used more for a hydro set up because root structure is different. So for better sucess puting them in soil with small roots. Should i put them in soil when the roots are just starting? What about re-dipping in...

I had someone suggest using worms in the pots. Probably red worms they are smaller than nightcrawlers with less chance of getting out of the pots. Sounds kinda crazy. Anybody know the pros and cons? I never heard anybody suggest it before? Is it ok to try or could it cause problems?
