    Whatever happened to Promix?

    7-8 years ago it was all the rage. Lately it seems to have fallen out of favor. I used it on one grow and did ok, but it had it's drawbacks. Now it seems many have gone back to soil.

    Dispensary weed in Ma is so cheap, is it worth growing anymore?

    Honestly if it was free I'd still grow my own. Half the fun of cannabis is growing it.

    Dispensary weed in Ma is so cheap, is it worth growing anymore?

    Cape Cod. The line is out the door of the dispensary. I spend a lot of time and money to get things right on each grow. New strains, upgraded my HID lights, using new soil. I do the same in the summer with my tomatoes. Each summer we grow around 50 plants. Many different strains, all started...

    Dispensary weed in Ma is so cheap, is it worth growing anymore?

    A dispensary 10 miles from my home is selling beautiful dried, high THC buds for $45-70 an oz. I guess my question is, is it worth growing at this price? I'm just getting ready to begin a new grow, and I easily dropped $250 on incidentals in preparation. That's not even including my elec...

    Auto flower, MH or HPS?

    Sorry for all the questions, but I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row. Ive been using HID lights for years, I enjoy working with them. This will be my first auto grow. I have both 600 and 1000w bulbs in MH and HPS. However I getting conflicting advice. Some guys say I should switch to 1000w...

    Best location for exhaust?

    I just reworked mine. Pulled the 6" exhaust fan and charcoal filter out of the tent. Discarded the filter entirely. I attached the fan to wall next to the tent. Now I'm venting my tent out the top. I bought one of those window vents and vent the old air out the window. My grow light is a...

    MH 600w to 1000w for autos?

    All Ive ever grown was photos. I've decided to give autos a try on my next grow. Fastbud seeds, Gorilla Cookies, Wedding Cheesecake Cake and Blue Dream. I upgraded my HID light and ballast from 600-1000w. Ive heard from a few sources that with autos it's a good idea to start using a 600w...

    Adding a 6" inline fan to my HID reflector

    I have a 6" exhaust fan hooked up outside the tent with 6" flexible hose going into the top of the tent to pull out the stale warm air. The extracted stale air is then vented out the window. I've grown nice weed in the past using 600w, I'm hoping the upgrade to 1000 will make it even better...

    Adding a 6" inline fan to my HID reflector

    Thanks for the reply. Actually I like the heat in the tent because my tent is in a spare room with no heat. So the sole purpose of the glass door is to allow the HID to get close to the buds with burning them? Also Ive changed things this grow. I switched from a 600w to a 1000w ballast and...

    Adding a 6" inline fan to my HID reflector

    A friend of mine told me I'm making a mistake. Years ago I added a cheap 6" inline fan to the exhaust port of my HID reflector. I added it to draw hot air away from the bulb, and blow it into the tent.. The fan began making noise, so I decided to replace it. My friend said HID lights such as...

    Grove bags and long term storage?

    Ive never used them before, but planning to on my next grow, so please pardon all the questions. How effective are Grove bags for long term storage, say a year? Let's say I grow 20 ounces on my next grow. After it's all properly dried and cured, can I simply plop it in 1 or 4 ounces bags...

    Grove bags

    How long do you think can you effectively store cannabis in a Grove bags once it's dried and sealed?

    Grove bags

    Anyone using Grove bags? No curing, no burping. Place your dried buds inside, close and seal. Dispensaries in my state are using them, so I would think they have merit.

    New LEDs, which ones?

    Well ya, it kind of is a hobby. I mean Ive been growing in a 4x4 tent for years. I'm just looking to grow some weed, improve my technique, and have fun doing it. More or less a textbook definition of the word "hobby'.

    New LEDs, which ones?

    Yea, my bad. That wasn't Mazar. It was actually a photo of another bud that had mold. That's why I took the photo to show the mold. Sorry for the error.

    New LEDs, which ones?

    Here's some Mazar photo I grew a few years ago under 600w. I hope to do better under 1000w.

    New LEDs, which ones?

    Decision made, and I'm staying with HID. However, I'm upgrading from 600w to 1000w. Here's my thoughts. Even though my reflector is old, it's a very good one. Top of the line in it's day. The el cheapo ballast I bought from Amazon last year was cooked after less than a year. So I replaced it...

    Growing autos and a photo in the same tent? Feasible?

    I'm planning on growing several autos in the next couple weeks. Bought a few strains that were recommended to me. However I want to grow one of my favorite photos, Trainwreck. I still have one seed I've been hanging onto. My question, can I grow the photo right along with the autos? I'm...
