If, by that, you mean - "Does the water swirl in the opposit direction, as opposed to the Northern Hemisphere?" - Then the answer is YES.

Not neccesarilly! If one maintains a proper "overall pH" (soil, water and nutrients), and uses "Organic" or "Primarily Organic" nutes, flushing may not be needed (or even helpful). On the other hand; lots of people use Chemical nutes and all sorts of "Extra Additives" that probably should be...

Why on Earth would you Flush to combat a deficiency? The whole concept of flushing is to R-E-M-O-V-E stuff that you don't want. For the OP, if you want to add Nitrogen, the quickest way I know is Alaska Fish Emulsion (5-1-1). It takes "Zero" time to break down, so it's available immediately...

Maybe your store does, mine sure doesn't!

The best I've ever seen at those two places was Kellogg's "Patio Plus". It's not bad or pricey, at all, from what I hear. If I didn't mix my own soil - I would, at least, give it a try! Google it and see for yourself, all the good stuff they put in there!

" Plants only start to smell when the buds start forming" It's always nice to hear from someone who has, absolutely, no fuckin' idea what they're talking about!

I don't really know all of your details; but it sounds like you may be overwatering. Unless you're growing outdoors in a real hot or windy climate!

First of all, I am not a Hydroponics guy. So my knowledge of the subject may be less than optimum. Now, with that being said, I am under the impression that a "gap" between the net pot and the water's surface of the DWC is standard procedure, as well as an airstone. Am I wrong? And furthermore...

So, just what is it you're asking?

I see shmoop has resurrected this thread from the dead. But it's still a valid idea/question - so here goes: LEAVE THE LIGHTS ALONE - MOVE THE PLANTS! Build yourself a large, heavy-duty, "Lazy-Susan" (you can get a ball-bearing swivel base at Home Depot for about $7., or strip one from an old...

How about "Old Reliable"? Lightwieght chain and some "S" hooks. Cheap, strong and fully adjustable. At WalMart you can get 20' feet of chain for, like, $5. and "S" hooks are about 4/$1.

For future reference: It is always better to prevent a situation, rather than to apply corrective measures after it spirals out of control! The way to prevent this type of thing in the future is to run a cheap reciprecating fan, inside your grow area (the air movement forces the branches to...

Misting the cuttings doesn't do anything to promote root growth per se! It just reduces transpiration; and thereby reduces overall stress in the process.

I don't think the "scoring" is to promote better root growth. I believe it's done to increase the "Bonding Action" between the new ring of soil and the old Rootball. Sometimes, when you transplant, the two soils just don't seem to want to join into one solid mass (for whatever reason)! And as...

It sounds as if not much has changed - that's too bad! Perhaps the next state (or states) that vote for legalization will include provisions that are a bit more "Grower Friendly", let's hope so!

Just how does legalization apply to "Home Growers"? And by "Home Growers", I mean non-commercial, personal recreational use only. What sort of "limits" will be set on Home Gardens (and other stuff like that!) And if this type of thing is still being established - what is the Deadline/Effective...

I remember blasting the shit out of the whole "Topsy Turvy" concept (for growing weed!), here at RIU a couple of years ago. At that time, I think it was just an "academic argument" - I don't think anyone had actually done it yet! At any rate - I'm pleased to say that I (and others) were...

Try this: 2 bags Topsoil @ 1.5 cu.ft. each. 2 bags Compost @ 1.5 cu.ft. each. 2 bags Perlite @ 1.5 cu.ft. each. 2 bags Steer Manure @ 1.5 cu.ft. each. ------------------------------------------ Total price should be around $30. or less! Mix the above all up with a cup (or so) of FoxFarm Marine...

Thanks for that little bit of wisdom! I'll be damned if I don't learn something new everyday!
