"The Grow Room" has 16 forums, one of them is dedicated to "Harvsting and Curing". A quick look there should tell you everything you need to know.

"would it be (1) efficient or (2) just plain awesome or (3) you would die from no fresh air!! This may not be as "Far Out" as it sounds! I was just reading here, yesterday, about co2 monitoring. Dude said he had a "good" co2 monitoring system (in the 300-500 dollar price range). Dude said...

Yea! Sorry, I didn't mention the optional "Tea" is a weak Tea. And the lime is a "Gimme". Good call! As for the Azomite and Epsom Salt, I've never used 'em (never needed 'em) - but like you said, "It wouldn't hurt!".

1 part (store bought) Topsoil. 1 part Compost. 1 part Perlite. 1 part Composted Steer Manure. This is the basic soil mix. Add a balanced, dry, meal based, fertilizer (organic or "organic based" such as FoxFarm's "Marine Cuisine" or Whitney Farm's "Organic - General Purpose") at about 1/2...

Whatever amount of Chlorine you added by mistake will just "evaporate" out by itself. Amounts of Chlorine typically found in "City" water supplies are not desirable - but they are not dangerousely toxic either! In the future, let your water sit (or better yet, run a bubbler!) for 24 hours before...

Most everybody seems to be relating thier own personal experiences, or opinions. Let's look at this from a logical and historical perspective! Everybody used to "Taper Off" the light cycle when switching from Veg to Flower, twenty or thirty years ago (and by "Everybody" I mean that was the...

I use Mexican Bat Guano along with Alaskan Fish emulsion, 5-5-1, (in a watered down tea) in veg. I use Indonesian Bat Guano along with Alaskan Mor-Bloom, 0-10-10, (in a watered down tea) in flower. Throughout the entire grow I use a fairly well balanced (mostly organic) ferlilizer in my soil -...

For the OP: Sorry bud! Each light needs it's own ballast. It's because of the way they start up - like any parking lot full of cars (some will kick right over, while others will grind and turn for awhile first!). You've seen what I'm talking about, some lights come on quickly; some lights take...

Thought I might be able to help, so I consulted my "Secret Source" of imformation (1,000 Bulbs.com). Sorry, I got Bupkus! The good news is - you can get a "250 watt, Probe Start, Metal Halide Ballast, Rebuild Kit" for about $40 bucks (that's all you really need to make the bulb work!). I think...

Rookiekid, I'm guessing that you planted directely in the 3 Gallon pot when the plant was a little sprout? If that's the case, the plant isn't really "Rootbound". When little sprouts get thown into large pots, the roots race straight for the "outside" (perimeter of the soil), laving the...

What do you mean by - "If intake holes are too large"? For a passive intake, you don't reach "Maximum Effeciency" until the total intake area is 5x the area of the "powered" exhaust vent (typically, fan size). You can test this by using progressively less intake area and watcing how much the...

Is this at all realistic? I think it would work on a South facing basement window.

In most places (here in the States), there is a "County Farm Agent's Office". Different places call it by different names, but it deals with Agricultural issuses of all sorts. They offer free (or at least vert cheap) laboratory testing of things like your local soil, fertilizer, etc. Many of...

I think the OP is refering to the original "Landrace" varieties that all the current strains are derived from. All my comments refer to indigenous landrace varieties, grown outdoors, under, somewhat, "natural" conditions (The way God intended it to be done!). Anyone growing indoors, with any...

It all depends on how old the plants are! "12-12 from seed" is a bit misleading - no plant (from seed) is going to start "Flowering" as soon as it breaks throught the soil, regardless of the photoperiod. You have to give the plants about 5 weeks (or so) to become fully mature before you can...

My immediate responce is - "How sure are you that this is Nitrogen Toxicity?". Just how much were you over feeding the N in the first place? How much did the lable call for, and how much were you actually giving? Were you giving any other "Supplimental" N? I'm just curious because "N" Toxicity...

A question for BUDies: Why do you say that the rootball dries out so much faster than the new soil? Is that just a hunch, or is something going on here? Just curious because I have not experienced this!

What do you mean by "so different"? Single HID's emit a very wide spectrum of light; in all directions (up, down, 360 degrees all around!) Single LED's emit a very narrow spectrum of light (centered on a particular wavelength); in a beam of specified angle. HID's generate light by electrically...

How many plants is a question that gets asked all the time - it's the same as asking "How long is a piece of string?". How many plants you can grow in any given space is purely a function of how you're growing (Lollypoping, Sea of Green, SCROG, etc.). You could, easily, have one plant covering...

1. Read, read, read! Study, study, study! (Repeat if neccesary!). 2. Then, get everything you need. (That's the only way you'll know if you got the right stuff!) 3. Then, grow in soil. (If all else fails, revert back to #1) Sorry if this seems a little trite! But the truth is - the more...
