http://littlegreenhouse.com/accessory/mist2.shtml these drip stakes look like a very low power way to water plants. they say its for soil but it looks like it could replace the big aquarium motor / pvc tube setup. Instead of pumping water up just hang a res from a shelf and run a tube over the...

Now I've read on this forum that a rubbermade roughneck tote and similar products have lids that are watertight enough to stand up misters running, but I'm not convinced especially after reading reviews from the manufacturers themselves who do not claim it can do that. So, is that product and...

Should healthy roots always be completely white in color? Are there any types of growth that is beneficial to a root AND that is VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE? Are there any bugs that live in/on roots that are beneficial to root health?

A brown "sheath" covering roots living in a dwc. Similar in consistency to wet tree bark. It easily peels off. Under the sheath, the root is lighter, brighter, and closer to white than the sheath, but it is still a mix of white and brown. Not a pure white. When viewed at 100x a root actually...

I am aware of 4 indicators: Swollen calyx, darkening and curling pistils, the color of trichomes (clear -> grey -> amber), the decaying of surrounding leaves. Did I miss any? Now the main question I have here is what indicator is better if they aren't all sending the same signal? For example a...

Who has taken the time to actually separate the true buds from even the smallest of the sugar leaves? Would you please share the experience of smoking that? What did your friends say about it? Would you do it again?

If white widow flowers have 100% of pistles turn orange late in flower (corresponding with about 10% trichomes turning amber)… is it probably not white widow? Is white widow a term for genetics or simply a description of when it was harvested? If some ditch weed is harvested while 100% of...

I've looked around and there are a lot of potential fixes. First check humidity: Not high but not low 50%… however this hasn't changed so it is unlikely the problem. Sometimes the airflow needs to be turnt up to improve performance. That seems to not work either. I'm looking at a can filter and...

What are some easy methods to maintain the correct humidity during each stage of growth and after harvest (for drying). Especially interested in the passive silica/ salt boxes vs active fan units.

Here are some pictures of the inners of a pin timer. Note the black button on the top right (under the white lever which comes out easily). When that button is depressed the outlet will provide power. When released it will not. However I'm unsure of what allows the pins to work. Edit: my first...

Aside from the obvious which is choice of genetics. The ones I am aware of are time of harvest (guided by trichome color) and time spent curing. Are there any others? Lets say I wanted to make the final product as energizing as possible (even if I have indica genetics). What Would I do?

Has anyone noticed that putting a plant that grew up in a hydro environment to a soil environment shocks the plant in the short term, and it never fully recovers? I'm saying this because it seems that hydro plants grow to be more succulent, and the plant structure never seems to recover when...

Hey all, i've just doubled the dose of nutes and now i'm noticing the plant is drooping like she has been over/under watered. Theres no nute burn so I'm curious, can using too much of any nutrient cause the plant to droop slightly? Edit: this is a bubbling dwc setup with aero components.

Why might the reservoir in a cloner (aka just pH water, no nutrients at all) be rising over time? I put it in at 5.5 and days later its back to 6.5! Also i've noticed that some of the stems are "hollow" on some clones, is this the sign of a problem?

I thought i would share my own contribution to the growing world since i've gotten so much out of this site. I've developed a method I call lowest stress training because it puts literally no stress on the plant and can still get those big colas. Basically what I do is use multiple lights to...

I was just wondering if I see my plant leafs start to curl in around the top nodes during flowering (i'm assuming this would only happen due to heat, if there are other reasons feel free to correct), will I be losing buds? If so what can I do?

Lets say I leave a plant outside and that plant gets 12 hours of strong,actual sunlight. Then I bring that inside and put 2 23 watt cfl's on for 6-8 hours. so total light is 18-20… will that plant start to flower or stay in veg?

Before you tell me to do 35% H2O2 or hydroguard aqua shield I've already read those threads… this case is slightly different because the only stems that are developing this slime are older cuttings that have wilted from the top… The point of this thread is that I'm wondering if that white...

Is there a way to filter oxygen through a carbon sheet and convert it to C02? Sort of like a reverse carbon scrubber. Preferably without the use of something that costs millions of dollars. Google ins't very helpful.

Instead of using a sealant on the wire mesh top that comes standard with most fish tanks I was wondering if anyone has an idea for how to create a top that is airtight and ideally easy to cut holes in without breaking the whole piece?
