Forced move. New environment does not allow for growth or cure. I'm not doing what I want, I'm doing what I have to. So now I'm dealing as best I can.

Oh so cute. I'll accept that you're probably right 99% of the time, and at the risk of asking some more moronic questions, please tell me: What is happening after we kill off the roots ability to absorb nutrients and the leaves change color? What's going on then? Is this not mobile nutrients...

I'm thinking that Mars hydro pitch was a bit of FUD. Fear, uncertainty, doubt. That's how mainframe computers used to be sold. F****** IBM. Not that it didn't have a bunch of great information. I would just like specific information on the rate of dimming on the cheaper LEDs if they're going to...

What if I don't care about the final week's worth of possible growth? My plants are 100% for myself and family and I have more than I need or even want. What I don't have is time. If I starve out the plant in that final week (whether by ice or boiling the roots) and watch it move all its...

This reminds me of the old give a man a fish versus teach a man a fish. Give a man a fish you feed him for a day Teach a man to fish you get to have sex with his wife every weekend from then on.

Any enclosed fan device and a bit of tubing can supply you with the air flow you need. This is a HEPA of filter with the HEPA filter removed which gives it incredible air flow with a bit of tube duct taped to where the air comes out. I push that through the vent in the tent.

Water. You want the stems full of water so it doesn't dry too fast so when it's hanging the chlorophyll actually gets a chance to break down rather than the plants just go crisp. My reading says 72 hours is the magic number for dark period. Just my reading, not telling you what to do.

Which brand?

One thing I'm looking forward to for my next grow is UVB lights. Shows they cut down on mold and mites dramatically without having to deal with chemicals.

Everyone's got their preferred method. I like bleach, UVC light combined with an additional ozone generator and just nuke the s*** out of the tent for a couple of days. But I used to grow mushrooms so I see the world a little differently than most people

There are a variety of threads on it from around 2013 I seem to recall. But people argued and there wasn't really a lot of science in. There has been some science since then with various testing done in California grow rooms and dispensaries. Either way I would stay the hell away from that...

The problem with neurotoxins is they are accumulating in something that you'll be smoking. Edible use is way different. Either way the allowable levels in edibles I believe is three parts per million, and when commercially produced pot with professional growers chose to use this chemical it...

Did you misspell sevin as seven? Sevin's active ingredient, carbaryl, is in fact a potent neurotoxin and suspected carcinogen. You're going to die. Anyone you give this weed to is going to die. Throw it all out now. Okay, maybe a little hyperbole. But really, throw it all out.

I had a bunch of old space blankets, you know the myler stuff that crinkles a lot, so I duct tape them around the various tubing that I wanted to insulate. They cost a buck for 6 ft of tubes worth of insulation.

Close. It depends on efficiency values. A thousand watts of HPS is come ahh, let's say 30% efficient. Maybe 40%. So that means it's got 60% wasted which ends up being heat. But you can put that single point of light in an enclosed hood and suck cool air across it. Which means every plant in...

What do you mean "like" bone dry? Bones are wet compared to the general air here. I've been here 3 years, so that's 6 * 3 = 18. 18 oz. I've gotten dry weed twice. I know because I remember those two terrible occasions of opening up the bag I just spent a hundred bucks for and having the buds...

It's simply an unnecessary risk. I don't care if it's .0005 whatever. For the cost of a remote humidity monitor, $15 on Amazon, you can completely eliminate the risk. You just wanted to go enjoy the company of your plants and now you're rationalizing.

You are recent legalization. I'm also not sure about how restrictive it is for dispensaries to get in the market which affects the price. On the other hand you are a homegrow state so there should come a time in the future where there's equilibrium. The pressure of the black market and the...

I had at least a half a dozen Mike Oldsfield albums. Of course I started with tubular bells but it gets much weirder than that. One time I picked up my brother-in-law at the airport. We had 45 minutes to ride to get home. I popped tubular bells in and said kickback. It drove him insane. He knew...

I did a Jethro Tull retrospective a couple of months ago. I watched / listened to Thick as a Brick (as well introducing it to my wife) multiple times since there were multiple concerts as well as the studio. I actually went to one of them when I was in ninth grade. It was my second concert...
