I usually buy the "expensive ones", because I can afford them and just because it makes me feel better! But deep down inside I know it is a bunch of advertising hype! My experience with bulbs is that the "Big Name" bulbs are better - but not "4 times the price" better! They do seem to be a...

I guess all the "Tube" growers are asleep at the wheel! I've heard that mixing tube's spectra is better, but I'm not a flouescent guy myself. Hang on for a better answer!

I used to buy QP's and I smoked about 1 oz'er a month. I never repacked the stash, I kept it just the way it came - in four 1 oz. baggies. Not even "Zip-loc's", just the regular old "Lick-em & Stick-em" kind. So I know from personal experience that bud will last at least 4 monthes with no...

Multiple light sources (when equally spaced) are always more effective than a single source (of similar total wattage) when centrally mounted. In other words - four 250 watters, spread out, will beat the shit out of a single 1,000 watter - even though the 250 watters put out fewer combined...

Back in "The Day" Mexican Brick Weed was the Norm. Hash Oil made that a lot better! Even Columbian or Oaxacan was more potent with Hash Oil on it. Better curing and handling methods have improved the appearent potency of Brick Weed. But the real reason why Hash Oil is near extinct is because...

Like Red Green says on TV, "Every handiman's Secret Weapon - Duct Tape!".

Not too sure what you mean by cheap. But someone ought to find this useful: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Rubbermaid-36-Garment-Closet/11072969#ProductDetail 1. Re-inforce frame (if needed) to support heavy lights, etc. 2. Line the inside with your favorite "Light proof / Reflective" surface, or...

How about this? When you unplug the cloner, just hold the plug in your hand while you check your stuff? When you're all done you say "Hey what's this plug for?" - - - - "Oh yeah!".

#1. Rule of thumb: In veg, "N" should double "P" & "K". In flower, "P" should double "N" & "K". The plant still needs Nitrogen in flower, just a whole lot less of it! #2. Believe the problems that pH can cause - it's not just hype!

1 foot is a pretty high water table. Maybe you should think about elevated beds. Extreme elevated beds, jack those suckers up two feet, or more! An old friend used to make elevated beds using "heavy steel netting", fixed into 3 ft. "hoops". Just lay them on the ground and line the "inside"...

The N-P-K numbers that are printed on the package of nutrients or fertilizer indicate the percentage of "those" elements (by wieght) that the product contains "As Is". By "As Is" I mean before being mixed, diluted, or spread out in any way, shape, or form - just as it sits, in the package...

Thanks for the "point in the right direction"! As a "Newb" in the field of "Mix your own organics" I find myself worrying about things that I just took for granted before! I always feel better when I know what the hell is going on! Thanks again!

I would think you could acheive similar results (a lot more economically!) by just buying some "Jack's Classic Grow" and some "Jack's Classic Bloom" and mixing whatever ratios you want.

LOL - My vase is bigger than your's!

That vase looks like "Tits", but $32. seems a little high! Might be worth it! Seems like I've seen them around, cheaper, not sure of exact size or cost - just sayin'. As I understand it, "glass" does block some light - but the amount is insignificant compared to the "Closeness Benefit" you can...

Thanks for the responce Triconomics! I'm already aware of the "added" benefits (Magnesium and Calcium) in using Dolomite Lime. I use it primarily to balance pH - but a little extra Mag. and Cal. are always welcome! I understand that "Epsom Salts" are a good source as well, plus, there's Sulphur...

Bingo! That's what I was wondering.

but i use lemon juice for down, n baking soda for upp. will using these effect my plant in the long run? Probably not! I know several home products will work. Maybe someone else has more info, pro or con.

As a fairly recent "convert" from store bought "big name" products to Mix Your Own Organics, I have a whole new game to learn! My main focus, right now, is on secondary nutes and trace elements. I'm familiar with that old Chestnut: "Hopefully you will get enough Sulphur, Calcium and Magnesium...

Well - - - something like that! My philosophy is to grow in an "Organic Soil" that is fairly balanced (about equal numbers for N-P-K), but a little on the "Lightwieght" side. I use this "Semi-weakish" soil mix with every repotting all the way throughout the grow. During the veg stage I spike...
