I've used several brands of vaporizers, and the volcano is by far my favorite. The thing about vaps is that while most of the THC is vaporized, many of the other cannabinoids are left intact. I hear this is due to the fact that they break down at a higher temp than thc, and so they are left...

I have had very good experiences with spectralux bulbs. The plants I am growing in my small t5 cabinet setup are much larger and healthier than the plants ever where under HPS!

If you aren't already, I'd begin using neem oil. Even if these bugs aren't spider mites, it is clear that bugs have somehow found a way into your setup...if these guys can get in, then who knows what else may be lurking around!

Update: I think I've solved my foam problem. I did a bit of research, and apparently AN Bud Candy can create foam in the reservoir. I happen to be using this, so I'm guessing that is the problem.

No, I mean we veg for 2 months, and flower for about 9ish weeks, roughly 4 month cycles. Admittedly, 8 ounces has only happened once or twice, normally it's much closer to 6 or 7. But, we get pretty good weight off our plants :) And yes, we use clones, and selectively clone only the biggest...

Major Renovations Ok, so I finally got around to upgrading my setup. As you can see in the photos, I've upgraded my reservoir to a bigger model. Whereas my previous tub held a maximum of 27.5 gallons, this one holds a max of 50. In my previous reservoir, the roots got so large, that there...

In response to lighting questions: I have never used teklight, so I'm afraid I can't provide you with too much guidance. That being said, there are a couple of things that distinguish these different lights that you might want to think about. A) Dimensions. One of the reasons I like the...

Updates: First, apologies for slacking on my journal! I've been super busy with my other grow; we are in the process of moving what is now a 42 plant operation! it's legal, but a HUGE logistical pain in the ass. That being said, I will begin flowering tonight or tomorrow morning. But this...

I grabbed the light from a local hydro shop, Evergreen Garden Supply. They used it as a newer replacement for the sunblaze 48". I like the phoenix better, since it is wider and has better heat/light dispersion. I tried checking online, and couldn't find it. If you are really interested in...

hey, you said you needed advice/help growing in oregon? What sort of help do you need, and where are you located?

Good god...my plants have practically exploded. I was out of town for a little over a week, hence the lack of updates (apologies everyone!). I had a friend take care of my plants. As you can see, they are absolutely gigantic, I haven't even started flowering, though I plan to do so in the...

It's true, when I added insulation, my ice probe became twice as effective!

Entry #19: Pretty Colors So today I went multi-spectrum! I purchased 4 3000k bulbs, and put them in my lamp (So now I have 4x 6500 and 4x 3000). I alternated the bulbs, so the light is mixed evenly over the canopy. I'm doing this as a run up to flowering, which should be in a couple weeks...

Entry #18: This Tub Ain't Big Enough For the Three of Us... So, I'm worried my plants are getting too large. It has been roughly 6 weeks since the cuttings were planted...I was going to veg for roughly 2 months, because I plan on having a 3 plant harvest every 2 months. I do this because the...

Your plants look great! Just out of curiosity, how long did you veg? Roughly a month it seems? Basically, I'm wondering how big your plants were after a month of growth, I'm concerned mine are getting too big...

Update: Wtf, one of my bulbs went out today...I've been running this light for less than 2 months...it's definitely not usual for a T5 bulb to burn out this soon, they can seriously last for years. The only thing I can think of is that I accidentally touched the bulb at some point, but the...

Well done good sir :) I picked that trick up from one of the dudes @ my favorite hydro store. So, how deep is your tray? It does look a bit shallow, but it's honestly hard to tell from a photograph. My buckets are only about 6" deep, but they're super wide, like 4-6 inches...so it could be...

thanks for the info, makes sense (+rep). revive basically has several nutrients, calcium and magnesium among them. My plants are much better, but one of them still has strange spots on teh edge of the leaves...but only 1 of them... see the spots? is this still a mag issue?

Wow, only $6 for the whole setup? Nice! As far as your planters go, either verrrryyyyy sloowwwwllly pour out the hydroton, and slide the roots out, and you could probably do it. However, that was a couple days ago, so it might be too late now :/

I totally second cruzer's point; I've been doing this for sometime! Just get an aquarium pump, and drop it in your rez, and pump it to a sink if possible. I just pump new water in out of premixed buckets. Cut down my clean/refil time by half! Even when I do take the plants out (to sterilize...
