    Ah. Now there's something I ought to comment upon... doing op work while high can result in disasters. Can't tell you how many times I've failed to do something blindingly obvious because I've choofed up before working in the op. I have: Failed to reset timers after dumping tanks resulting...

    Thanks. :) And now... time to actually go do some of that growing dope stuff instead of procrastinating by playing around on cannabis forums...

    Hmm, my acct on GC is still happening. Just posted there to be sure. I just don't have time to keep up with accts on several cannabis boards anymore. Banned for recommending H2O2? Sounds pretty extreme- and dumb. H2O2 is widely used in large-scale hydroponic vegetable farming. To suggest...

    Well, that's OK, I don't know what the majority of what I'm talking about means, either. When I find out, you'll be the first to know. ;) Nah, not creepy. Lots of lurkers read my threads who never, ever post. Fine with me.

    You could do that if you want, but it's really not necessary.

    *blush* Thanks. :) I'm not a fan of hempy buckets. Inherent in the design is the potential for root rot due to stagnant nute soln in the bottoms of the buckets. When you peruse pix of plants in hempys, you usually see distinct signs of overwatering, aka root disease. Stick to flood/drain...

    The definition of hydroponics is growing plants in an inert medium with plants supplied with nutrients dissolved in water. All hydroponic media is inert, whether STG, perlite, clay pellets and so on. Aqua is more than likely Classic in a different wrapper. The purpose is the same. All...

    Boost is far too expensive to even try. $207/L! Rhizotonic is unnecessary if you don't have any root problems- and if you regularly apply H2O2, you won't have any root problems. Besides, Rhizotonic stinks like cigarette butts fermented in a camel's asshole. Cannazyme, being an enzymatic agent...

    I've got Lazarus but sometimes it doesn't work. When I say 'copy to the clipboard' I mean Windows clipboard, nothing to do with Word. I use Canna Classic and PK1314.

    OK, just got a 'post restriction' popup page which caused me to lose the entire text in my last post. It's SHEER LUCK that I habitually copy my text to the clipboard before posting. WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!

    Plants do very well in both Fytocell & STG. Plants usually stand themselves up with no problem, but sometimes in leat flower, the weight of the budmass will tend to pull the plants down. This will happen in clay pellets, too. If you have a tray full of plants, they'll tend to prop one...

    hmm, OK, my hydro gear supplier is forcing my hand on my choice in media. They've discontinued Fytocell. I'll be using Sure-To-Grow loose fill from now on. So, for anyone who wants to see a serious test of the stuff, you're about to get your wish!

    Thanks. I try to avoid PMs on cannabis boards; what seems to happen is I end up engaging in extended discussions of growing techniques and problems that are better carried out in open forums so everyone can benefit from the matters discussed and I don't repeat said discussions several times-...

    Yep, I feel your pain. Most flavours of duct tape will come unstuck in short order. The seal need not be totally airtight, just snug. However, silicone sealant makes a dandy adhesive for panda film- and it's not too hard to remove if sometime in the future you do need to remove it. Frame...

    There's no such thing as too much light but there IS a such thing as too much heat. As long as you can pump the heat out of the room (cooltubes are excellent), 1000s over 4x4s will be excellent. With 1500ppm CO2, you can run the room warmer than without (29-30C), which will speed growth &...

    Ice up? Not sure what you mean. If you're talking about a profusion of resin trichomes that give a 'frosty' appearance, that comes from good genetics and healthy plants; such appearance is usually developed beginning late in wk6 and on through wk8. 'Snow Storm Ultra,' per the sales...

    Steel will rust out readily in a grow room, notably with exposure to nutrient solutions, which are as corrosive (if not more) as seawater. Aluminum will last approximately forever. Cannabis doesn't handle high humidity very well- no leafy, herbaceous plant does. The target RH range is...

    What's a common practise you've been shown? Don't know what you're referring to. I happened to have a 400HPS lying around when I set the op up about 13 yrs ago and found it worked fine for my mums. In fact, since I actually want a bit of stretch in my mums as I cut tall clones, a 400HPS is...

    ...how do you notice salt buildup? Not sure what you mean. Sativas are not as heavy feeders as indica dominants, but can operate in similar TDS strengths with no problem. Run them at 900-1100ppm & she'll be right. Fair comment. I have all the widgets necessary to accomplish...

    RW mini cubes behave very similarly to RW floc, which is to say that they saturate (too) easily, which drives all the oxygen out of the medium. As you know, this will damage if not destroy roots. By the time you see droopy plants, root damage has already happened. The plants will be...
