My plants have just started forming bloom sites and are really starting to take off... . But the soil is damn dry within 4 days of a full watering in 3.5 gallon pots. Since I'm using Botanicare Pro Bloom Soil, and it says to "feed every watering", should I just cut the dose from 3Tbsp to 2Tbsp...

Hey guys, I have 4 plants in 3.5 gallon pots in their second week of 12/12 lighting and I still don't have true bud sites forming. There are white hairs at the bases of the branches but no real buds beginning to form at the ends of the branches... and these guys are bushy as shit, blue-cheese...

Hey guys, I have 4, one week old Blue-Cheese females from seed that are showing interveinal chlorosis on some of the larger leaves. I have pics below, sorry they are from a camera phone. They are potted in pro-mix with some added perlite and I fed them a very weak dose of Botanicare Pure Blend...

Hey guys. I was wondering if a 5 gallon container that is 13.00 inches diameter by 10.625 inches deep would be a good sized pot for growing a medium sized, single cola plant? Is that too squat?

Hey guys, I decided to try out ocean forest soil (with added perlite) but I was wondering if it has too many nutrients to directly plant seeds in it without burning/stunting growth? Thanks!

Hey guys. In the pet store there is regular clear and green silicone air line tubing... any reason one is better then the other (for hydroponics)? Thanks, just curious

Hey guys, I want to run a 400w Ceramic Metal Halide but I don't know if I should go for a 2'x2'x4'7" or a 2'8"x2'8"x5'3" Secret Jarden tent. I usually grow in 12" diameter, 5 gallon pots. I could grow 4 plants in either tent, but I wondering if having that extra space between the plants would be...

Hey guys, I'm getting back into organic hydroponics with an ebb and flow system with a 20 gallon reservoir. Would a venturi be better than air stones? Turbo Venturi Valve | Pet Solutions I'm just thinking it's one less thing I need to scrub, and air stones do get clogged.

Hey guys, I'm trying to grow 6 plants in individual bucket DWC systems, but I don't have much vertical space. Could I use shorter, 3.5 gallon DWC buckets and still grow 3-3.5 foot single-cola plants? Also, I want to get those net-pots that are meant for DWC buckets, should I go with 6", 8" or...

Hey guys, I'm having trouble fitting things together into my new grow cab, well, on paper at least. My question is this: If I use a powerful 6" Centrifugal fan and a SuperSun 2 reflector (pretty damn air tight, neoprene seals etc), could i make the light's aircooling and the cabs air...

Hey guys, I want to buy a 250w light for a CMH bulb, but I was wondering if anyone has used a fixture with the 250w ballast Built-In? Are they reliable? I was thinking the SunSystem2, but I want to make sure I'm not wasting my money.

Hey guys, I'm going to switch to a 200w CMH setup soon but that requires an old-school magnetic core ballast with a good strike on it. I only ever used digital (I bought the hype), so I have no idea what brands are best. But I'm also looking for one that I can wall mount, if possible, to the...

I'm thinking of converting a Rubbermaid outdoor storage shed into an indoor grow cabinet. It's light weight, easily to drill/saw, easy to make light-tight and can be disassembled quickly. Hell I can enamel it white, anyway to my question... Here is the thing, the interior is only 2'1" x 3'11" x...

Hey guys, whats the best, most active shroom growing forum out there? I found a couple but they seem kinda unpopular. Thanks!

Hey guys, my next grow room will be a rubbermaid outdoor shed and I am looking for ways to attach everything from velcro to neoprene sheeting to the walls. I was thinking plastic rivets, perminent, cheap and strong. ANYWAY, I found a great site for it a month ago but my bookmarks were erased...

Hey guys, I'm about to build my new grow cabinet (my dream cabinet! WOOOT) and I'm trying to do everything I can to save electrical costs... Since it will be air cooled with a CAN 4" HO Centrifugal fan AND a Vortex 4" centrifugal for air flow (and filtering), I'm trying to cut costs anyway I can...

Hey guys, I bought a 600w Lumatek digital ballast and bulb for my larger setup that I used on my last grow... but I'm scaling down to a hydrohut 2x4 (or darkroom DL150 Wide). My last space was just a bit too big for me. On the last grow a little inline booster-fan was enough, but I know with a...

Hey guys, could you guys help me figure this out... my plants just arent forming true buds/colas and it's the 5th week of flower! They have plenty of hairs but nothing else. Stats: 600w HPS 200W CFL, + 150w florescent sub canopy lighting 5-gallon pots with coco-coir Fox Farm line fertilizers...

Hey guys. I'm having issues with stretching, so I want to try some subcanopy lighting. My one question is this, since I'm running a 600w hortilux as the primary light (4th week of flower), should the subcanopy light be blue or red. I know blue makes for more compact plants in veg but I know red...

My babies are in their 4th week of flowering and t took them 3 weeks just to grow pistols/hairs. the inter-nodal length is getting way too long. I have them under a 600w, HPS with supplementary 200w Blue horticultural CFL. I thought that would help stop stretching. Any ideas?! I have...
