    Advanced Apache * Coco & LED

    Thanks for the grow journal... very informative. I went to Apache's site and they claim that their 120w light replaces a 600 HID. Would you agree with this? I am looking at switching over to LED's and was looking at High Tech Graden Supplies 7 band 435 watt light or the 864 watt light. They...

    Are autoflowers good?

    I am loving auto's. I have a NYCD that is fantastic and will rip your head. The 20-30 grams per plant is pretty right on. I average a little over an ounce per plant when dried and cured. I am finding that the perpetual garden with auto's is pretty easy and rewarding. I harvest 2-3 plants...

    Veg Nutes? Botanicare products. Help?

    I really like fulvex and seaplex. The Zho sounds good too but I have yet to try it. I am also interested in the vitamino that they have out now too. I must admit that I have never had Botanicare products burn my kids up. I usually feed heavy too. I think your plan sounds good. I might use a...

    Nutrient Schedule For Auto-Flower Strain

    I agree with lowblower and amaximus instead of Sam's schedule. I am in the process of harvesting my auto's and they went just over 9 weeks. I have always heard about the 1/8 to 1/4 nutes but have never abided by it. I went heavy on puropse with this grow and fed them way more than I have in...

    FIMing an autoflower.

    I prefer growing auto's and both FIM and top them. More for research than anything else. The FIM's mostly come out in big ol' knots... kind of like a fist. Two buds will grow then there will be buds grow out from underneath and from the sides. It's fun to watch. The ones I top usually...

    Switching from DWC - Input needed

    Have you considered coco? I have had a lot of luck with 50/50 coco and perlite. Add some bone meal and you are good to go. There is a good recipe on here for some super soil if you search for it. If you do go with soil and use the ocean forest I would encourage you to combine Premier Pro-Mix...

    how much growth out of 2 gal pot

    Have you considered bumping up to 3 gal smart pots? I tried 2 gals at first and noticed a big difference when I went to 3 gal... highly recommended. You could do a little side by side comparison and use a 2 gal and a 3 gal and see what happens. I would be very interested to see the micro...

    39 day old autoflower. opinions please

    I grow mostly auto's and top the majority of them. There is a good journal on here from a few years back of a grow that went real well for a guy who topped his auto's. He harvested 4oz off 1 plant... with pics posted. That's where I got the idea. I have one going now that I FIM'd and it's...

    Are my babies too small?

    I started 4 seeds in the middle of April and kept them under the same lights at 18/6. They wouldn't grow for anything. I'm at 9,000 feet so I figured between altitude and temps (mid 60's) they were doomed. I bought a 1000 hps to bloom under and figured what the hell... I'll put them under it...

    4 weeks into my first grow?

    Pics look good. Neat set-up. I've always been told that yellowish hue means lack of nitrogen.

    Just Put Seedlings in Biodegradable Pots, Quick Question

    It just depends on how wet you keep them. I used 3" peat pots for 4 weeks before I transplanted to 5 gal. The roots were coming out the bottom and sides of the pot. As long as they don't sit in water for a long period of time they should last a few weeks anyway. I'm at 9000ft and kept them in...
