Correct, touching = burning. 5 inches is good for a 200 watt, i usualy keep my 180 watt 3-4 inches away. smetimes my T5 tubes touch the leaf tips... they burn but as long as they are moved within a day or 2 its good.
Add some side lighting (23w or 42w) it will help with the growth. 200w top...
yea, im under the exact same opinion.... its impossible to have to much spawn. if someone realy wanted to they could just spawn WBS into a mono and fruit it, it would be a waste but it would still do the job.
As for the PF cakes, a friend of mine slices them like cheese and puts them in a...
The easy way:
fill the 5 gallon bucket with soil to desired level.
Set the 3 gallon bag inside the 5 gallon pot.
Cut the bag off of the root ball, leave the bottom there and remove the rest.
fill the rest of the 5 gallon pot with soil and water :D
Hells yea Tried and true mate, i wouldn't steer you wrong ;) its the same thing i use for my soil base, except its home made instead of pro-mixed :D

Peat moss 75%
Perlite 25%
Gypsum 10 Ml per 5 gallons
Dolomite lime 1/4 cup per 5 gallons
this makes a balanced, well draining base for your soil. add dry nutes, water with liquid nutes... harvest weight :D
well considering thats the MAIN factor, and you have to factor in that 90% of people dont use incubators to keep a perfect 80 F (26 C), its cheaper, and easier to simply let them sit around 22-24 C (70-75 F). using an incubator to ensure temperature increases mycelium metabolism (to as much as...
^ This.
weeds crack the side walks..... cotton doesn't stop shit.
Cutting the cotton siding off does more harm than good... ALOT more harm than good.... one time you will go to revome the netting and the whole thing will fall apart.... bye bye seedling / clone...
Why does it HAVE to be a 5...
If your doing G2G transfers yes, but if your sporating new spores it takes 3-5 days for the spores to latch and start to multiply, then another 12-15 days to colonize the jars.
doing G2G transfers are using allready established mycelium (isialy 1/4 colonized grains, 3/4 uncolonized) so the Myc...
Then for "Research" purposes, split it up so you can tell the difference.
Label 1 plant "Flushing" and another plant "Feeding". flush the one, feed the other and harvest them on the same day. you WILL notice a difference, but its not going to be the effects your thinking of.
Organics make weed...
NYCDiesel
Orange bud
Mk Ultra
Mk X NYCD (my own cross)
Those are the main ones.... but i grow seeds when i come across them, i've growen 15+ strains on the exact same nutrients. some like a litle more N, some like a little more P, they will tell you :D
Bingo. hit the nail on the head there buddy.
Then you know it well :D
The nitrogen and Phosphorous cycle are driven by bacteria. to "Flush" organic soil you would have to kill the bacteria, which would have to use salts or chemicals which are bad for the Buds, so its a catch 22. your best bet...
I use EWC, N Guano, Wood ash, Morbloom, Liquid karma, Black storm (humic acids), Liquid kelp extract (local brand) and molasses in my super tea... , so mine actually has more salt than yours dose.... you will Defiantly be fine
Happy growing :D
i feed with 50% Super tea (strong, personal mix) 50% water mix all the way untill harvest.
the plants taste better, have more trich's, get me higher..... and if your doing it right there are no salts anyways...

Growing trichoderma mold for your personal use is very easy to do. There are MANY products on the market which sell this fungi, for an extreme profit. growing trichoderma is as easy as growing any other mold, and for less than $50 a person can have YEARS worth of...
What are Trichoderma?
Trichoderma spp. are fungi that are present in nearly all soils and other diverse habitats. In soil, they frequently are the most prevalent culturable fungi. They are favored by the presence of high levels of plant roots, which they colonize readily. Some strains are...
That is some VERY good info. MG isn't bad if you know what your doing. im just saying that it can cause problems for new growers. 1/5'th is what i used for my first grow (MG soil, MG nutes....) and it worked, but i could taste the soil in the plant.... it tasted dirty....
yea, it does in TRACE amounts. trace elements that arn't needed in fertalizers unless your growing Hydro bud. Hydro = Nutrientless mediums, such as coco, hygroton, perlite, etc. when using these mediums the trace elements need to be supplemented.
Plants which are grown in Nutrient Rich soil (...
