    How to 'dial in' nutrient regimen

    So basically, keep one on the FF schedule as a control and try more on another to see the reaction? Is there any consensus on PPM ranges, either in general or with regard to different periods of the plant's life cycle?

    Do some strains = small fan leaves?

    Obv there's the classic lanky sativa/squatty indica dichotomy, but the curious thing about this strain is that despite having been topped for four main colas UB-style, the Skywalker OG branched out and basically became a bush, whereas the Blue Dream is a 4" tall, four-headed monster with...

    How hot does it get in your tent? Today It was at 90 degrees in there!!

    So basically you're asking how to cool the tent without cooling the air? Lol...don't mean to be a smart ass (well, only a little), but without using an AC, your options are limited. There's something called a 'swamp cooler' which basically cools the air by increasing the humidity with cool...

    Do some strains = small fan leaves?

    I'm growing a few different strains and my Skywalker OG have noticeably smaller fan leaves than the others. I have large hands and my Blue Dream leaves stretch from my wrist beyond my middle finger, but the largest Skywalker OG fans might be a little bigger than my palm; what gives? Is this a...

    How to 'dial in' nutrient regimen

    I'm sure this is the kind of thing that if I knew the exact right string of keywords to search, someone has already discussed this, so feel free to UTFSE-me, but also include the link lol There's much talk of 'dialing in' one's grow room, which would include things like proper temperature...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    jimbob those are BEAUTIFUL. Reminds me of some of Subcool's finest work . . . are you using a 'super soil', by chance?

    Anyone ever used cold winter air to cool lights?

    Thanks to everyone who chimed in. Pretty sure I'm going to try this when I build a new room to replace my DR150. Kitty, I've read through most of your journal and to hear it works for a grower of your caliber, that's good enough for me! Hope you can stop by when I start my own log soon :)

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking about 10 days of flushing before chop, does that sound right?

    Anyone ever used cold winter air to cool lights?

    Thanks for the insight, guys. Any chance you could deal with the condensation by having the ducting heading upward so that any drops drain back down and to the outside rather than toward the lights? So stems, just so I'm clear, you're saying the cold air is run into the bigger room, which...

    Anyone ever used cold winter air to cool lights?

    Interesting . . . I'm not sure if it's valid either lol, but this is exactly the kind of thoughtful consideration I was looking for. Kudos!

    Anyone ever used cold winter air to cool lights?

    Cool, that's what I thought re: street lighting. I feel like this could be a great energy saver during the winter, and am interested in other 'holistic' approaches to conserve and re-use wherever possible. I just started using the water from my dehumidifier, which is awesome cos it comes out...

    Anyone ever used cold winter air to cool lights?

    You mention a 'blast' of 'frigid' air on the hot lights . . . maybe you could start the cold air intake a few minutes before striking so the area is a bit colder than it would have been otherwise. The temp fluctuations should be pretty gradual from that point. And yes, I was thinking around 60...

    Devastation on the hills

    Please don't take this the wrong way, because I'm a rank novice and this is just intended to help me and other newbies avoid similar pitfalls: How did that even happen? Don't male plants look significantly different by, say, week 2 of flower; enough that you could chop em? Was this plant...

    Anyone ever used cold winter air to cool lights?

    I've had some issues with heat in my tent this summer and it got me thinking . . . Is it crazy to pump in cold air from outside, through the lights to cool them? Obviously, I'd filter the air from outdoors somehow to prevent junk from coming in, but could it get too cold and burst the bulbs...

    2011 grow 20 plants 5 strains

    I read through this and the plants look great; I was really excited to see how the Smart Pots are doing outdoors. I'm using #3s inside and the roots are so dense, if you tap on the top of the dirt, you get a sound like a tom tom drum! Any chance you'll be doing more updates?

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    Here's a Romulan at day 44 of 12/12 (the images go from full to zoom, then tops, then some from the bottom). Most of the hairs have turned orange on the four main colas (thanks UB!), but there's a new little foxtail on one of them with a bunch of white ones, along with the lower buds at closer...

    Greetings from canadafornia!

    Hola RIU, Found a few really cool threads on this site so I figured it's about time to sign up. Chillin, watching 'Kenan and Kel' reruns and puffin on some Green Candy I just picked up four killer strains today but I'm not sure about the safety with posting photos. Does anyone know how to...
