    Need help starting.

    There is a whole forum section on strains. It's hard to beat Nirvana seeds. I'd suggest a stable old strain like Northern Lights (feminized)

    What is the best PH meter???

    What do you do when you have a bunch of opinions? How do you evaluate them? Anyway, my answer is a simple $30 Hanna from ebay. Ph does not have to be measured that closely for what we do. And no, you don't need calibration solutions (RO or distilled water is 7.0) and you don't need to calibrate...

    Why does someone order everything, THEN ask for advice on what to order?

    Critique My Setup

    I'd get the 600w dimmable ballast. It doesn't cost much more and just use your 400 bulb in the 3x3 tent for now. Eventually you'll be glad for the ability to use the 600. I don't see why you need the MH at all. Why do you even need the tent? I'd recommend saving the organics for later. You...

    so i had this idea for a space saving high yield low stress grow

    There's an old thread around with an lst grow that spirals like that. But yours seems to climb as it spirals, this one stayed at "ground" level (even though it was in dwc). It was 2 or 3 plants that covered at least a 5x5 area. No question a more horizontal than vertical grow can yield more.

    To much humidity

    A dehumidifier will only lower it about 10%. I'm not sure why it's such a concern. I'll bet raising that 55 dark temp to 70 with a small heater will lower it 10% too.

    DWC VS. Bubblebonics who will win

    It's ironic that stealth hydroponics used the term bubbleponics for their gimmicky tote dwc system. Bubbles are the best way to feed new plants until their roots are in the water. The water pump and tubes are supposedly an improvement. That's the gimmick because they are not an improvement. They...

    Grow room temps too high, Can someone help?

    If you are responding to the wrong post, that's understandable. If you are really responding to me, you "are" a dick because you know nothing about me or my plants, and I'll gladly wager I was doing this before you were born.

    what the easiest way to insulate a 5 gallon bucket?

    I use 28 qt Coleman coolers with just under 5 gal of water for each plant. I veg them 2 plants to one of those coolers. If I keep my room temp to about 75, the res temp never gets up to 70.

    drying

    The curing process begins at a humidity of 55-60 when sealed. At much over 60, mold will develop. At under 55, the curing process has stopped and can't be restarted. A lot of people think they are curing buds when they are just storing them. You can't get that accurate with humidity unless you...

    the real reason why cannabis is illegal?

    So, should it be legal like prescription drugs? or legal like wine? or legal like cigarettes? or legal like sugar?

    need some advice for my future setup (3 seasons setup)

    When you get a lot of views and no responses, it usually means there is something about the post that is unclear. I don't know if you are talking soil or hydro. And I don't understand why you would only get one harvest. I only grow from Sept to April, and I get 4 harvests. Based on what you've...

    Parabolic reflectors

    What's good about them? Can they be air cooled? If not I fear they would leave me with heat issues no matter the other advantages.

    Grow room temps too high, Can someone help?

    You can have ambient temps of upper 70s but have it too hot right at the canopy. And it's hard to measure there. Are the lights in air cooled reflectors? If not that's your solution. If they are you need to get an accurate measure of the surface temps on the canopy which is hard to do. Best way...

    what the easiest way to insulate a 5 gallon bucket?

    The easiest way is to use a cooler instead of a bucket.

    What happens if you harvest way too early?

    I don't have a lot of experience with harvesting too early because it is a blunder. But I have done it a few times and in my experience, the impact is not so much on potency at all. In fact the last time it happened that I had to harvest a 7 weeks instead of the normal 9 weeks, the quality was...

    Why not spring for real grape juice?

    DWC leaking lid

    You can regulate how much water is splashing the netpot either by lowering the water level, reducing the bubble action, or a combination of the two.

    Trich pics - Day 54 - "Chrystal". Flush with Molassas?

    I think when you have more than 10% amber you are already in a period of degradation. Others disagree. If I were you I would stop feeding now, flush if you like, and plan to harvest in a week or less.
