truth is, my grow is actually 29.5" tall... i have an easy 8-10 inches left above the lights now... i would say it was wasted space except it lets the heat have a big area to rise up to... with 600 watts the top of my grow tank is well over 110 degrees F (need a bigger exhaust fan now) but at...

i grow 2-3 plants in an area 23"D x 14"w x 19"h in soil ;) rethink your paradyne :blsmoke:

gobears, do a search on YouTube for "I Grow Chronic" he shows exactly how to build too styles of aero systems ;)

flavor comes from the food you use and the strains... there is nothing in dirt that leads to that heavy skunky flavor we all like ;) it is all in what you feed em... i think part of why we soil guys get this opinion is most hydro growers start doing that cause they are not as anal about their...

i was always a BIG fan of soilless mediums... which IS hydroponics, BTW... all hydroponic means is introducing the nutes through the water... but in my smaller grow the problems of dealing with soil or soilless root bound material is getting to be an issue... i dont have 70 acres to dump it in...

tip de jour: bugs are bad, m'kay... be ahead of them by putting sticky traps in your grow. if it catches bugs be sure to identify them and act accordingly. a spider mite infestation is probably one of the worst pot cooty infestations because it is a hard problem to get rid of. i have known a...

as for hydrogen peroxide, i dont think the OTC kind is a strong enough concentration to be a super help... and yes, it is NOT for the organic grower AT ALL!

i have used aspirin to keep cut roses looking good in a vase and have used em in my bong water to keep it from getting so nasty... i dont know if i would put them on my living plants, but they obviously do have some benefits to oxygenating water.

man, Wally World is like the DYI hydro shop from Hell! other than nutes and rock wool i can find everything i need for a flood and drain system and build a setup based off of Al B Fuct's system for under $100 :o sticking with soil till i get my new cab and new lights setup... once i have them...

hey Garden Knowm... this is the first thread we have both been in so i feel a need to hijack a bit... thanks for your books and vids! they have helped me a lot and i used to pull in some serious crops back in the day... you have showed me how to grow on the smaller end of the scale and let me...

that is a PERFECT plan.... screw what you hear, test for yourself and get your own data!

you can veg for as long as you like... just keep in mind, the more veg time you give them the more space you will need for them in flower. they also will do ok if you leave the lights just as you have them... as long as the plants arent stretching out due to light starvation they will be fine...

if you mix the spectrums and up the wattage the plants will grow more and be happier.

they would top out at about 3 foot tall or so... i flower well before they hit 1 foot tall and i get good results out of my itty bitty plants ;)

those are all thousands of klicks from where i am at ;) i am sure there are some in this area but they are as underground as i am.

i am thinking that with CFLs you want as many as possible... and while the plants prefer blue spectrum for veg and red spectrum for flowering they like both spectrums during their whole life.... more, more, more!

as rezo said, you want to pH just before you water.

er, sounds normal to me... plants start small and grow bigger... the leaves have nothing to do with sexing as far as i know.

pH is one of the most important aspects of growing. get a different style pH tester. the drop tester just uses a couple ml per test. pH should be corrected on the watering side each time you add water but checking the run off's pH does not have to be done as often. when you prepare your water...

um, do you really want to piss on your plants? yes you can use it, but ewwwwww!
