    Getting ready to harvest my first grow. Any tips?

    Perhaps a semantically better option is to say you expect to harvest... Harvest dates can vary widely. If you experienced any issues along the way this adds time till harvest. In my setup I feel IF the tent warmed faster in the morning it could shorten the grow time and add to the weight. 60...

    Best ways to suck water from drain pan???

    I use a shop vac as well. It is metal and rusting. See if you can find one with a plastic tank. They are sometimes a pan in the ass to empty, I make a mess. The drip pan you have is great, I have the same thing except my drip pan is bigger than the stand inside of it. I made a major upgrade...

    Am I Good?

    You can not reasonably expect to increase [CO2] with continuous venting. Increasing [CO2] only works in a closed system. Are you venting out of the building. When I first started I was aware of heat issues but never heard any talk of humidity issues. Vent to the exterior or run a larger...

    Garden soil any good?

    I need to make a new area garden. I talked with an Amish farmer who was just as excited about this concept as I am because ge did this also. Till up the soil then plant annual rye and actual clover. He told me to till this back into the soil while it is still green. The "book" says to let it...

    Can smoking synth nute unflushed bud CAUSE HARM?

    I switched from tomatoes to broccoli. Its the acid in the tomatoes that screws up the pH in your lungs. Broccoli leaves a clean white ash so I know it is a better choice foe me. p.s. No cheese sauce. I had to get a new bong. What a mess.

    Garden soil any good?

    Sure it will work. It is preference and style of grow. How much water it will hold etc. My garden soil backs together too tight for me to consider. I need more carbon/loam/organic material.

    Can smoking synth nute unflushed bud CAUSE HARM?

    Worms are delicate. Salting them and changing the pH. Worms in soil are like fish in the tank, they do not like changes. This doesn't mean salts are bad.

    My first organics trial - what am i missing?

    Most common to recommended 1-2 TBLS/gallon. Mineral amounts vary widely from brand to brand and even from season to season. What I mean is labeled amounts of minerals vary, read the label. I look at potassium only, the rest of the minerals vary up or down along with potassium. This will...

    Potassium & Molasses; The End Is Near

    I have discovered nothing at all. All this information about the mineral content in molasses is out there and widely available but mainly in regards to dietary intake. (Dietary intake is when animals eat something not plants). When it is given to plants all that knowledge about minerals goes...

    Potassium & Molasses; The End Is Near

    What I'm trying to do is bulk up my buds in the last weeks. In the past I have ended with too much leaf in my buds. I am trying to add all the minerals I can "get away with" while still holding back on nitrogen. Molasses looks like a good solution for me. When I started looking at molasses I...

    Potassium & Molasses; The End Is Near

    Of course you don't need sugar. Nobody uses sugars simple or complex as successful fertilizer. Sugar ain't gonna do jack shit, in my not even close to humble opinion. I should have something of a response under my leaky hummingbird feeder. Sugar is not the answer. Can you find a high...

    5 gallon pot idea ? Late season grow

    How is the heater working for you? And do they come in something smaller. My tent gets cool at night then takes all day to warm again. My plants do well between 80-85 if I can only get there way sooner it would change a lot.

    Potassium & Molasses; The End Is Near

    Reliable sources have major variances in recommended total potassium per gallon. I will compare Fox Farms Soil Schedule and NPK RAW, calling these reliable sources. I am looking at the amount of potassium being used during the final weeks before harvest. I also look a wee bit at molasses...

    5 gallon pot idea ? Late season grow

    They will completely fill a 5 gallon pot though I would not call it root bound because the roots don't circle at all. Would they fill out a 10 gallon pot? IDK, maybe someday I'll try.

    What is wrong with my plant?!!?

    Mineral can be sprayed onto leaves while in veg. What minerals are in sparkling water? I only put stuff onto the leaf early in seedling stage to break apical dominance to keep short stockier plants. There are tricks to help your plant to be short and fat not tall and thin. Without lots of...

    What is wrong with my plant?!!?

    Without additional light it won't make much flower at all. They need lots of input from grow lights. There could be many reasons you drop leaves. Taking that plant from the dim light into full sun and maybe wind as well. Just like a vegetable plant it takes time for plants to adjust to the...

    5 gallon pot idea ? Late season grow

    It is already in a 5 gallon pot. That's big enough. Like Farmer said, don't bother it. You spin your plants? I think when you rearrange plants they need to use energy to reorient themselves to the light.

    Homestretch

    I don't know about all that. Basically if it is soluble in water it is not an essential oil. It is oil right. I think there is an essential for strawberry. Fruit punch, no. I have a gooseberry bush that taste like fruit punch, I don't think there is much demand for gooseberry essential oil...

    New leaves growing out as bright yellowish green

    Time to hit those bottles and get your ppm up. It this point you have very hungry plants and you can still get away with lots of nutes. About a month into flower beware of increasing buildup of nutes. We're using nitrates, hit the gas and watch the RPM or ppm.
