    Nutrient List, Please Help

    I've used the FF nutrients+solubles (cha-ching, open sesame, & beastie bloomz) & it nuked the shit out of my plants because of how strong those nutes are. I have said this time & time again that if you choose to go with FF, use everything at half strength or the following recipe I dug up on...

    light question?

    Good rule of thumb to remember is to use 196 watts per m2. That's a rough conversion from 60 watts per sq ft so forgive me for being American & not using the metric system. :D You can have blue & red spectrum lights at the same time but blue will promote more vegetative growth whereas red...

    ak47 Grow

    Keep your PH dialed in as close to 5.80 as possible. I'm running The Lucas Formula with GH right now & if the PH swings too high above 5.80 then the plant reacts badly. You have the same grow tent that I do and I'm only working with 200 more watts than you are. It's looking like you have done...

    Download or get your hands on a book called; "Buds For Less" by SeeMoreBuds. It's all about producing an oz of bud for under $100 growing from seed. This might help you along with setting up a great cheap grow with the tools you are already working with.

    Growing White Widow

    I heard Ocean Forrest is acidic & to start seeds, seedlings, & clones you want to run them in Light Warrior & pot them up to Ocean Forrest after they develop 3-4 nodes. My buddy is growing some WW right now & notice the bottom set of leaves yellowing on 1 out of 4 or 5 plants. I attribute it to...

    What bulbs are you using?

    2x600w Ultra Sun super HPS's & I was using 1 HPS to MH conversion bulb but I stopped using it after my 1st grow because the HPS was producing more light and better lumen output. Using 1 HPS side by side with the MH produced great looking plants & leggy plants at the same time. Unless you have a...

    Nute Schedule

    Fox Farms nuked the shit out of my plants on the 1st 2 grows. After talking with the guy from my hydro shop he told me that the formula was made for tomatoes. I don't think this is a valid statement but I know that A very safe start for your Fox Farm nutrients is to go 1/4 to 1/2 strength every...

    Does this look good hydroheart

    What the ninja said, dial your PH as close to 5.80 as you can at all times. The more spot on you are to 5.80 the less likely your plants will be to have nutrient lockout. :D

    How to get rid of a freeloader without burning a bridge?

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the sound & whole hearted advice here. The guy peaced out this morning & I haven't heard from him since. I believe he'll be couch surfing elsewhere & if he does opt to come back I'll give him the prospects of what you guys counseled me on. I appreciate the insight more...

    How to get rid of a freeloader without burning a bridge?

    The title says it all here but here's some more info on the specifics. I have a buddy who was thrown out of his last living situation by the chick he was living with. He said the reasoning was that she is just plain nuts and flipped out on him. So I'm feeling like the guy needs a little help & I...

    SB 5073 Passes Senate 29-20. What Now?

    No one is having their rights to a freedom of speech impeded upon. The state will be outlawing profiteering by businesses attempting to make financial gains by overly prescribing patients a federal schedule 1 drug. An offense to the 1st amendment would be to prohibit a doctor from speaking...

    I downloaded Part I & Part II in one of my many batch of torrents pertaining to MJ. Part I focuses primarily on soil whereas Part II is mainly hydro. Definitely not bad productions. I honestly have been watching Bauks' YouTube videos. The guy is on the board (haven't talked to him) but he...

    Flowering and FF ?

    Right, the grow big gets taken out for weeks 5 & 6 then comes back in on week 7 before you flush & then it runs all of the way through. This is in an attempt to cut down the nitrogen right out of the vegetative growth & start building up bud sites. If you notice, Tiger Bloom contains nitrogen so...

    Flowering and FF ?

    A good rule of thumb is to induce flowering when your plants are either 1/3 of the total height you want them at when they finish OR around 1 foot. Monitor the plants CAREFULLY. Fox Farm is notorious for nuking plants very easily so whatever the recommended doses, begin at 1/4 to 1/2 the...
