    Final Review : Vipar Spectra XS1500Pro LED grow Light

    I got one of them on a Black Friday deal for $79.00. But, when I plugged it in to check it, it looks like two of the red diodes are out. When I contacted the company, they assure me that the diodes are not out but that they are very dim or "invisible". Can anyone here confirm this? Here is my...

    Hey man that's a sick idea to use plastic wrap to prevent drying too fast! why didn't I think of that? :)

    Strain Suggestion

    It's really not going to do you much good for people to name names of strains....because the likelihood of anyone naming a strain that's universally available in all areas, is slim. Someone suggested purple strains. I tend to agree with this generalization, but there are many factors to be...

    RO WATER

    Are you using a pH pen? How are you determining the pH?

    RO WATER

    By the way, I am now adding a small bag of bio-char and a few TBSPs of dolomite lime to my soil mix. Undoubtedly, there are some inconsistencies with using bagged soil as a base mix. I suspect that I got some extra-hot ferts or some real acid-y peat moss or something. I have been using the same...

    RO WATER

    Same here. My problem made no sense to me, either....but, for whatever reason, my soil mix ended up spitting out runoff water that was 4.0! My tap water is around 7.5, so I had always been pH-ing the water DOWN to get it in better range. But when I started to do runoff checks, I could see that...

    RO WATER

    You can get some distilled water or, if you can't for some reason, then do several runoff tests. It saved my grow. It might not have been accurate, but my pH was SO far out of whack, that it gave the indication as to what the problem was. And that indication was enough to steer me in the right...

    Curing, a myth perpetuated by bad growers

    I gotta admit....being an old school guy, I NEVER remember hearing anything about curing weed....outside of some wild stories about people who soaked their buds in wine and then let them dry! Weed growing and smoking used to be a lot more "voodoo" and folklore back then. Everyone carried their...

    Plant Issue Never seen before

    Did you use a dedicated sprayer for applying the oil? Or did you possibly use a sprayer that might have been used for something else. too? It really looks like the results of being sprayed with some kind of herbicide.

    Plant Issue Never seen before

    The first thing I saw was a dried residue on the leaves that is most likely suffocating preventing the plants from transpiring.

    Transplanted and now they look sick

    pH issues....Nutrient lockout. Do a runoff test...Do several....It won't be 100% accurate, but it will indicate if you're in the ballpark or not. It worked for me.

    Humidity

    LOL DOn't know what happened with the font but yeah those are the gauges that lots of growers use and they are handy because you can see the highs and lows each day and adjust your space accordingly.

    The weed/music connection.

    What is it about smoking some good weed that makes listening to music so nice? It seems almost a universal thing that smoking weed and listening to music seem to go hand-in-hand.

    Sativa or indica?

    I agree with much of what you said about the plant morphological differences....but that still doesn't answer the question of what, exactly, differentiates the effects of a sativa from that of an indica. There should be a real explanation that's as clear as the distinctions being claimed....but...

    Sativa or indica?

    Yeah, I used to think this, too and I was willing to just leave it at that....but, two, different indicas will also have two, different terpenes from one another, too. There isn't just one indica taste and smell and same goes for sativas. They ALL have different terpene profiles. If there was...

    Sativa or indica?

    Can you tell me WHY you think that is the case? What are the chemicals and constituents that make sativa be different from Indica? I see these things being said all the time, now. I never used to hear anything about these differences until things became commercial. It should be easy by now to...
