    Question about PH/PPM Meters

    I have a question about PH/PPM/Temp meters. I've been shopping for meters and I've found that they range from really expensive to just kind of expensive. I built my own DIY DWC system. Actually 2 of them and I know I need to keep up with my PH and PPM. Typically, I just use the traditional PH...

    Flouro Lighting Question

    Are these bulbs available at a Walmart or Home Depot? Also, should they work in my standard flouro shop light? If so, I'm stoked I've already invested a small fortune I just want to see if I can save a few cents toward the end.

    Stems not Growing

    No, they actually started a little more than a week before Valentine's Day. At least that's when they were put in the dirt. I had my first two sprout on Valentine's Day. I also wouldn't necessarily say they are bushy. They have the original two sprout leaves. A large first set of leaves, a...

    Stems not Growing

    Thanks for the input. To be honest this is a first grow and I'm kind of experimenting while I wait on my seeds to arrive. I have 10 WW feminized on the way. The seeds I'm growing presently are in soil. I'm not really sure they were just some bag seed. Decent stuff but really just to kind of test...

    Stems not Growing

    I have about 5 plants started under a 400watt MH lamp. The first started on Valentine's Day so it's been about 1 week now. They seem to be getting good size on the leaves, but the stems aren't really growing. They look more like bushes than plants. I had the light about 20 inches above the...
