    Seedlings with thinning stalks

    brainalive, it looks like you've got a case of damping off disease on your hands. i'm experiencing the same problem. from what i've read it's caused by a fungus that thrives when your medium is too wet and humidity is too high. like the others have said, a fan is the best method of...

    Hydro Seedlings and damping off?

    thanks guys. so should i mist them daily with a spray bottle instead of dipping the bottom of the cube? i don't see how you can shake out water once the seedling is rooted inside. the hydro shop around me doesn't sell sponge plugs, just rockwool cubes and starter plugs.

    Hydro Seedlings and damping off?

    no nutes during the onset of the disease... i added 1/4 strength a couple days ago to the last one because it was on its second set of leaves and the bottom ones were starting to yellow at the tips. i figured it for nitrogen deficiency. at this point i'm more interested in preventing damping...

    stinkbud, but vertical

    Thanks a ton for the info. I'm thinking i'll do the two 1000's and i'll knock the diameter down to about 7'. the plants will not be completely vertical, but rather pitched inwards like heaths, so i want to make sure i can still squeeze in there. By the way, i really dig your setup. How's the...

    stinkbud, but vertical

    After a couple of months of researching, I think I’m just about ready to start my next grow. I might be biting off a little more than I can chew, but I’m going to try a combination of Stinkbuds aero setup, heath Robinsons flooded tube vertical and green bastards vertical soil grow. The grow will...

    weird scrog

    i've been reading alot lately and i've been really intrigued by heath robinsons vertical grow's. unfortunately i dont have the floor space or the available power to replicate his systems. they all seem to use 600w's cause of light penetration i guess. since i only have 400w available, and a...

    making the most of your power

    wouldn't it be nice to have a huuuge space and unlimited supply of cheap power? unfortunately for me, this isnt the case. i'm in a one bedroom apartment where utilities are included in my $1000 per month rent. this means the landlord recieves the power bill, pays the power bill, and with power...

    12/12 from seed nutes?

    hey all, i'm thinking of doing a sardine style 12/12 from seed SOG with 8 inches of space per plant. i'm doing all femmed great white sharks from greenhouse and feeding basic GH nutes. since there isn't really a vegging period, should i skip the micro and grow and just use bloom? how does the...

    aerogarden h20 pumps

    i've been looking at the cannabis cage recently, and its piqued my interest quite a bit. the only thing that bothers me about it is the water pump. can anyone answer why a 1/4hp electric pump is necessary? in an aeroponic system i cant see why 1200gph is needed. those things run on a couple...

    power consumption and the 5-0

    does anybody know when your house gets flagged as a potential growing operation? what's the ratio in terms of kilowatt hours to square footage? is it the same throughout the US? or does it vary by city and state????? this seems like pretty valuable info... and its a bitch to find. i'm...
