    Indoor-Outdoor Soilmix Question

    Really, nothing? I'm not talking about a big outdoor grow, maybe just three or four "pampered" plants with planting holes about 4-6 cu.ft.

    Controversial Defoliation Increases Marijuana Yields

    It's like this: People love to write articles, because some (gullible) people actually put some faith into whatever they see in print. No doubt about it, controversy gets attention! Now, one truth about science is that others should be able to replicate the results (using the same methods)...

    Indoor-Outdoor Soilmix Question

    I enjoy making my own soilmix, for "indoor" use, and the thought struck me - what about "outdoor" use. If my soilmix is "the best" for indoors, would it also be "the best" to fill planting holes with, outdoors? At first I thought "Of course it would". Then I thought "Hold on here, there may...

    Is 420 College real school?

    Are you talking about a place such as "Oaksterdam University"? Yes, it really does exsist - and yes you can really take classes there that teach various facets of "Canni-business". Or do you mean "Is it an accreditited university"? Like, "Will a diploma from here qualify me to go to "Officer...

    DIY COB reflectors

    Okay, so what i'm seeing is a light pattern something like a "Fried Egg". Where the brightly lit spot in the center is the "Yoke" and the hazy area created by stray light would be the "Egg White". Are you trying to re-direct that "stray light", so that it all lands inside the "Yoke"? Sorry...

    DIY COB reflectors

    This question may be naieve; and I have to admit that I didn't read through the entire thread - sorry about that, but here goes. Aren't LED's directional to begin with? Don't they shoot light out in a pre-determined beam? If so, wouldn't that make a reflector redundant? I'm not trying to...

    Need an LED expert

    I agree about the green being useless. But I would go the other way, about growing with it. Set up a, low value, bagseed sprout and light it with just this LED thing. If the sprout croaks, that's a pretty good indication that the light isn't any good for growing. Just don't waste a good seed...

    Noisy Electronic Ballast--stick it in the crawlspace?

    Yea, you can put it in a box to muffle the sound. Better yet, add some rags or paper to the box to make it really quiet. Just make sure you leave enough space around the ballast to let the air circulate

    For all you Fishermen and Fisherwomen with broken poles, an Airstone!

    One thing that I have done is just make a bunch of small holes, in a small section of the plastic tubing (near the end), and plug-up the open end. You can plug-up the end by putting a screw in it, or a small wooden wedge, or just folding it over and hold it down with a rubber band. Straight...

    Thc-level thc% what do these terms mean??

    It's all just a bunch of avertising mumbo-jumbo. A plant's potency is, pretty much, determined by the genetics. So if a particular plant strain is said to be "20%", any productive buds from that plant should be somewhere in that ballpark. But then again; advertisers love to exagerate - so you...

    °°PH.....pen's 'v' strip's °°

    The only problem I have with the strips; is that the "water run-off" is already colored a ,kind of, tea color. I always used to wonder "How is that "pre-colored" solution going to affect the final reading? I still wonder about that.

    UV LIGHT ON DURING NIGHT DURING FLOWERING PERIOD THEORY!

    I think UV-B is the only UV spectrum that does anything beneficial for your plants. During the night cycle you say? Interesting.

    whats a perpetual grow

    I'm not sure I get exactely what you mean. Let's look at it a different way. The whole concept is similar to "The Production Line" in an automobile assembly plant. You keep starting basic frames at one end - they go through many stages and procedures - and eventually, finished automobiles...

    Pros and Cons of 12/12 veg v 18/6

    It looks like we drifted away from the OP's question. Let me spell it out for you. The bottom line is - a plant will not flower until it's "mature"; no matter what light schedual you give it! That is typically about 4 or 5 weeks. If a plant spends those 4 or 5 weeks under "12-12...

    Which plant training method should I use?

    Yea! 2.6ft. x 2.6ft. gives you almost 7 sq.ft. - easily enough for 2 (or even more) plants.
