    Adding Sugar As Molasses Substitute During Flowering?

    You raise a good point! Too many people think that molasses is a magic elixer or some kind of "Super Nutrient". While it does have some nutrient value, the main advantage of using it is just that it "feeds" the herd of micro-organisms in the soil. Then they, in turn, can convert the soil...

    burying the stem???

    Yeah, it's true! Often a seedling will get "stretched" before the grower gets some "decent" lights, or for whatever reason. Simply adding more soil or replanting the seedling deeper will make the seedling more "squat" (shorter and less prone to fall over). Plus, the part of the stem that gets...

    CMH lights?

    Okay, first things first! You keep repeating this question but misquote the distance as 3" (inches). Azeotrope's original article said "up to 3' of wire away from the ignitor" (that's 3 feet, " = inches - ' = feet). I don't know where he got that distance from either. All remote ballast...

    In November there will be a ballot for legalizing the recreational use of marijuana f

    Have they given this bill a "Ballot Number" yet? I haven't seen too many updates since the original "Press Release". I want to print up some Tee-shirts that say "Vote yes on # (whatever)!", or something like that.

    Soil

    does putting a layer of hydroton rocks on top of you soil work to make it so you have no bugs so they cant lay their eggs..??? How would Hydroton do that - "Magic"? Hydroton balls wont do anything except give the bugs a place to hide!

    How good is Ceramic Metal Halide?

    That's an interesting statement, where do you come up with information like that? I find that most CMH 250 and 400 watters are "Retro" (made to work with exsisting HPS ballasts), while most CMH bulbs below 250 watts call for dedicated CMH ballast or a "pulse start" MH ballast. I'm not saying...

    simply lighting question difficult answer

    " - - - - heading into autumn(or fall for all you yanks; i still think that autumn is a nicer word)." As a yank from many generations of yanks (my family "migrated" from England in 1640!) I have to agree with you on this one! After all, Autumn marks the Autumnal Equinox. But give us poor...

    Philips MasterColor® Ceramic Metal Halide?

    If it's too late to change your order to a "Horizontal" bulb, you will probably want an umbrella style, "Parabolic Reflector" that holds the bulb in a "Straight Down" position.

    How good is Ceramic Metal Halide?

    I've been reading about CMH lights for years! I'm familiar with all the "Industry Hype" and I know there are satisfied customers out there, because nobody really complaines about them. I'm playing around with the idea of designing a new grow area, featuring Ceramic Metal Halide lights, but now...

    Quick Question for Anyone who knows the answer

    Somehow, your "Peeps" got it backwards. Kind bud is "the good shit!". It started with the locals in Hawaii, they had an expression "da' kine", it was just mispronounced English for "the kind". As the expression "da' kine" caught on, it took on the implied meaning of "Hell yeah, Bruddah, that's...

    How long should seeds take the mature?

    If you lightly dust just part of one branch while keeping the rest of the plant covered with a "raincoat", you may only get a few (20-100, or so). But if you're going "Big Time", you can literally get thousands off of a big female.

    DIY Ballast construction

    That's about the same price that www.1000bulbs.com charges, but they're in Texas instead of the East Coast. So anyone out West would save a few bucks on S&H charges! These "ballast replacement kits" are the cheapest way to go, they include everything you need except a plug and light socket -...

    California Medical Pot Patients, READ THIS!!!

    What does all this mean? I tryed the OP's link but the Court's website said "Sorry, the information on this server is not available" - or something like that. "Limits on what?"? Number of plants, size of stash, method of "distribution"/ "infirmaries. Just what "limits" have been lifted?

    When shopuld i transplant?

    Yeah! What he said, but first: Take the plants that are in clear cups and "Double stack" them into a second cup that has the bottom and lower sides painted "Dark" (to block out the light). Making a removeable cover out of foil would serve the same purpose.

    Is this enough to get a MMJ card in California?

    Soil PH meter

    That thing only has a pH resolution of .5, for that kind of money you should get at least .1! I use a Milwaukee pH600. I got it for about the same price (a couple of bucks less, actually!), but it only reads pH.

    curing jars

    They're only called "Mason Jars" because that was the name of the most popular company that made them here, in the U.S. They are probably called something else, in other places, around the world. I know that they are also called "Canning Jars". I still see them at the Super Market, but I live in...

    It's just small bits of organic material that is either suspended or desolved in the run-off water. You'll get used to it!
