    stock market, jobs, economy all plummeting under trump

    I'm glad I work in the computer games industry. It's booming like never before (especially the mobile games market). I'm guessing there are a LOT of people who want to 'escape' into another reality right now ;-)

    HOW TO KILL SPIDER MITES 100%: " Naturally - no chemicals"

    If you are late in flower and don't want to spray; I'd recommend the non-invasive 'drop the light hours' approach (to below 12/12). the idea is to stop the mite breeding cycle. Try 11/12 and see if after a week they're gone/reduced (if not, lower the hours 'on'). fyi - if your mites are at...

    Using magnets to make plants grow faster, anyone?

    Personally I'm going the diamagnetic levitation route. Now, how to go about including that expense into my small home grow budget ;)

    Using magnets to make plants grow faster, anyone?

    Bumped into some older research about using powerful magnets to speed up plant growth. Never heard people talking about this, I've only really heard of 'new-age' magnetic things (like bracelets etc). So my bullshit-o-meter activated as I started looking through the research. However (although...

    Tesla Cybertruck unveiling 21 Nov 2019.......

    does it come with a Tesla flamethrower attachment? Otherwise ... fyi - I heard Elon is getting together with John B. Goodenough (what a name for this truly amazing inventor). This means they'll (hopefully) soon be scrapping those lithium batteries and replacing them with the new tech of...

    My rain water (UK) has a ph of 7.5?

    Thanks, the EC level of the water is about '028' ppm (fyi - the digital display is three digits long, no decimal point is shown in the reading)

    My rain water (UK) has a ph of 7.5?

    I live in the south and checked the rainwater PH (running from the roof into a collection barrel). The water is showing as 7.5 in the barrel, I thought rain water was supposed to be 6.5. Anyone in the south of the uk getting the same readings on their rain water? I'm wondering if the roof...

    pics of mother dwarf plants and some flowering plants under Quantum boards

    Not so far *touch wood* I've heard they can die but the worst I've had is a little wilting/loss of colour (I'm reasonably conservative with how much I normally remove). Also, I do add some Plant Magic granules (Mycorrhiza, bio-stimulants and microorganisms) at the bottom of the pot when...

    Should I I defoliate or let it ride?

    agree with GrnLeavz also, if any leaves or leaf fingers are sitting on bud sites; either tuck them or simply snip off the part of the leaf finger that is covering the bud/bud site (that way you still get the energy benefit of the leaf and the bud sites get more light)

    pics of mother dwarf plants and some flowering plants under Quantum boards

    Thanks. And as these are keepers ..I don't think I'll go back to seed for the foreseeable future :) Worth noting that although the cuttings/clones are smaller then a standard size mother plant when taken, they only need a few days to explode in size (after putting them in a pot with some...

    pics of mother dwarf plants and some flowering plants under Quantum boards

    its been a while, so I thought I'd post some grow pics showing my dwarf mothers (getting some sun outside my 52 Watt led veg/grow tent) and a couple of pics from the flowering tent (first time flowering under quantum boards - 3000k with 240 max watts each light *a dimmer allows you to drop the...

    How do you decide what to keep?

    first grow of any strain from seed, I do this: take a cutting from each plant before 12/12 flip (I end up keeping those that pass the flower test, below). flower plants till their way past their prime harvest times. While doing this, harvest a bud from each plant each week from around day 56...

    Two sentence joke

    Whats the difference between a drunk and an alcoholic? a drunk doesn't need to go to those stupid meetings! Why do women with bad hygiene have belly button rings? Its the best place to hang the air freshener! Why do men die before their wives? They WANT to. How is a puppy like a near...

    HOW TO KILL SPIDER MITES 100%: " Naturally - no chemicals"

    Not experienced with lady bugs but I've heard you can spray them with sugar water and let it dry (before putting them with your plants). Then they can't fly away (as they're wings are sealed shut). Thought it was a little cruel. But then again, if it saves them from frying to death in the...

    Quantum Boards - Heat question

    appreciate the replies. I hung one strong 6inch inline fan (30 watts) looming down over the two QB's (with its intake connected to a duct pipe that sucks air from outside the property). With 2 clip fans (aimed at the plants) and the carbon filter+fan system running constantly (sucking air out...

    Quantum Boards - Heat question

    Yep, I meant to check the leaf temps but didn't have a plant under the lights yesterday. Today I'll turn the lights on and put a plant under it for an hour or so ..then measure the leaf temp. Thanks for the input.

    Quantum Boards - Heat question

    thanks for the suggestions. I ran the boards at 60% and that dropped the heat sink temp. by 10C all around. The tent temp. dropped to 30C. I guess I could manage the current temp. with two 6" fans (one on each QB). Together with the fan system I have it should get the temp. down to the right...
