    newbie hydro flush questions

    It's all a matter of opinion. I'm not a big believer in flushing, I just stop feeding when it gets close. I also don't think darkness accomplishes anything. But I will say that with three strains, they don't all need the same thing but you have no choice but to give them the same thing.

    DWC leaking lid

    Lower the water level. It should be splashing up on the sides of the cup, but not to the top.

    Adios, Amigos

    What strikes me as odd is that he got on the phone to a "good lawyer" with the police standing there waiting? And then that lawyer, who couldn't possibly know the facts, said let them in?

    Makes you wonder about the wisdom of even advocating for marijuana on websites, even this one.

    If your tent has a big enough footprint you can tie it down and get it growing horizontal. How old is it?

    Need some advice plz

    One of the advantages of growing all one strain is that they get the same feeding. There are many other advantages. I have a good ppm meter and haven't used it for 2 years. I think the plants tell me all I need to know about feeding levels, and once I get it dialed in for a strain I just follow it.

    HPS, please INform the UNinformed

    My vote goes for no cheap ballasts. Get a 600w Lumatek and put a hortilux bulb in it. Look for deals on the other stuff.

    how often do you adjust your PH level?

    Today was the first time I made an adjustment to pH in two years. Not because I'm cavalier about it, because mine stay very steady. I do check every day. I claim no credit and give all to the nutrients, Humboldt. Anyway, today it got too low and I didn't even have pH UP. Had to use baking soda...

    Everybody burn one at exactly 4:20. It will be a giant collective toke, and it will roll from timezone to timezone.

    getting past a dog?

    Don't second guess a dog. They've taught them to sniff out cancer cells, and others can smell when their owners with epilepsy are about to have a seizure.

    HPS and MH Wattage

    I don't understand why it is so low res. I downloaded that from RIU to begin with. This is an excellent chart. For each wattage, 150, 250, 400, 600, 1000, it shows the illumination pattern as a rectangle with length and width for various distances from the glass. But it also shows the footprint...

    HPS and MH Wattage

    1. Those kits often contain some cheap components. They don't even tell you what ballast it is. 2. It's not the number of plants but the size space you intend to illuminate. The light doesn't know or care how many individuals are down there. Two plants can be manipulated to cover a space that...

    Which auto finishes fastest?

    Realistically. I've seen a lot of claims from seedbanks that are based on unrealistically perfect conditions. But I'm talking about a hydro grow from seed to harvest. Is 10 weeks feasible for any? And what might you harvest from such a plant? ps I have one going right now. It's blue mystic fem...

    RIU erased my post count but I forgave them and came back! I'd say you have it dialed in - they look like they're waving at me! How many plants are in there?

    Hanging to dry

    You need the temp under 80, 70 is great. Humidity as low as you can get it unless you're in the desert. When I think they are close I take them down and cut colas up and finish drying on a screen. I might fill a quart jar and add a hygrometer as 840 says now and then to see how they are doing.

    Help!!!!!

    It seems like you're out of room but if you have to, just force them. The flowers will find their way back to the surface.

    Help!!!!!

    I've been there. Last time I prayed to the weed gods and the vertical growth stopped just when I didn't have another inch.
