~70F (or between 17ºC and 22ºC if you like) Check out http://www.theweedblog.com/what-is-the-best-temperature-for-a-marijuana-grow-room/

HAHAHA I Love this thread! I find it weird/crazy/hilarious that most of the stuff in here is about basically traditional composting... nothing unconventional about mussels, or scraps, or any other dead plant/animal matter... that's more conventional and traditional than modern ferts. Even...

Autumnal equinox: September 22nd.

Not all outdoor grows hit temps in the 90s, which is the main factor here, not light intensity. Outdoor buds do tend to be fluffier than indoor buds a lot of the time I'd say (probably because many do hit such temps).

Completely! I appreciate the "guaratee" of quality genetics... but to be honest, I am so dubious as to that... not the quality mind you, just... well https://www.coloradopotguide.com/colorado-marijuana-blog/2015/june/28/the-history-of-naming-weed-strains/ (where the gist is: "Some strain...

Thank you... no one else seems to think that $15 a seed is INSANE! Especially considering how many seeds you can get per plant if taken to seed. I honestly wish I knew how to get into the business (legitimately) as it seems to be the real cannabis cash crop. I prefer seeds to clones myself...

Pollen is insidious. It sticks to EVERYTHING. Now that's something to get paranoid about. Always clean your tent, wash your clothes... hands... heck, take a shower, between contact with a pollinating male and a budding female. And if you do end up with seeds, save and tag them. If nothing...

So, I am a fan, not user, of aeroponics systems, and was surprised that while there's three stickies on the AeroGarden system there isn't one welcoming newcomers with the very basic info on what it is. I think this is important because a lot of people don't know what it is, and even more don't...

OK! :). Thankfully heat is not an issue for me... my ambient temps are in the 50s and 60s, my grow box never even hits 80 (I have to use a heat cable to warm my soil to 70's at night) so adding heat is actually a good thing (though with LED it's only a few degrees anyway). So now I "know"...

So you are right... over watering is in fact drowning... starving the plant of oxygen. But your plan has some flaws: gravity and permeation. Even if you only water one side... the water will distribute out into the rest of the soil... it's physics. Let's say you could effectively water only...

But you can have too much light intensity. AND heat... not ambient heat, radiant heat, as in the heat the bulb emits when you get close to it, regardless of over all circulation (yes, the radiant heat causes the ambient heat, but my point is at a close enough distance the heat has no chance to...

Yeah, discussion is good, I love a good "what if?" and playing devil's advocate... but argumentative poop flinging is just... idk bat $h!t crazy? My take is that every system and set up has a place. CFLs were kick ass for getting me started growing, but some people insist you can't grow a...

So my imagination was working on it... Of course I got more questions than answers. How much more efficient is LED than HPS or MH (watts converted to light vs heat) and then, how much more efficient is narrow LED lighting (Red/Blue) than full spectrum lighting... in terms of "wasted" light...

WHOO LED! I started out with CFLs for upfront cost and convenience... but wound up with an LED. I was looking for the best balance of value (upfront & running costs) to yields, as well as other factors (area coverage, hanging height) and It seemed like LED was the way to go. I still hear a...

ROCK ON CFL!!!! I started out with CFL for my small (personal) grow, for 3 reasons: Cheap start up cost. I used home lights (sold in 6 packs for around $10). I was able to add lights slowly as I needed them, so I never spent a lot at once, and even in total it was cheaper than any other...

Right? You could go blind staring at the moon some nights. I've certainly seen the moon brightening up an area as much as early sunrise, or an overcast day. Which also shows the other side of the coin... I get many overcast days. Like severe overcast. Even with a few days of this my plants...

I'm sure the cheapest is something like miracle gro or some other generic "good for general" plant fert. I grabbed what looked cheapest at my garden center ($9/2lb) which was Earth Juice Rainbow Mix. I'm sure if I tried at all I could have found something cheaper on the next shelf. I use...

I this still bout the babies? I will have to read about coco... watering little plants like that every day? Wow.

A couple of things: Light leaks... I think it's funny how afraid of this people are... paranoid is actually a better word. I could shine the sun(or hyperbole sake) in my grow for idk... some length of time during one dark period.. heck, let's say the whole one whole dark period. They won't...

For me it may be worse: New house, first grow... and I'm all out of buds... looking at my plants I just CANNOT stomach the idea of going out and spending another $35 for an eight at the shop or hassle with "black market" lazy stoner can't keep an appointment types for a better deal. I've been...
