    Harvest right freeze dryer

    Where? I was seriously considering getting the crop to cure bundle. We spend a lot of time and space hanging. Just seemed like it would make harvest slower but create a lot less down time. But it is super expensive....

    Res pH jumped up .7 pt overnight! What's going on?

    Wet calcium nitrate? What would make it slowly drag it up? I had the same issue in ebb flow with nutrients being used up, coco being not rinsed, and with a heavy dose of brown sugar and great white microbial making beer. Also with humic acid sometimes it takes longer to go into solution and can...

    Spider mites, Help!

    you will burst into tears if you know what we sprayed on tobacco. Lorsban was the absolute first thing in the field. And sometimes we gassed with what was basically cyanide. Issue here is cannabis being schedule 1 the pesticide research isnt being done. Spinosad is organic, I dont use it a lot...

    Spider mites, Help!

    Ok so I researched, spinosad and acramite are the soft ones, to use in conjunction with predators. So, yay for integrated pest management! Mites and ladies in the mail! And just think, we didn't even use the lorsban. Probably would have been like smoking lead paint!

    Spider mites, Help!

    Anybody spray Acramite, Bifenthrin, or dare I say chlorpyrifos (lorsban)? Also, somewhere I read spinosad in res water. beg of week 4 bloom, but I really doubt its systemic activity. 3% infection so far. Gotta stop this fire before it spreads. Anybody put DE on top of their media before...

    Ebb Flow, watering Schedule/EC (definitely Not Dialed in) Help!

    My other half has these super debilitating migraines, like crying balled up in floor. I wish I had some product for her last night. It was 'hide the gun so I don't kill myself' bad. So I started out with a 'good cause.' But I also scaled because I am tired of the government bleeding me with...

    Ebb Flow, watering Schedule/EC (definitely Not Dialed in) Help!

    I def will check it out. I'm trying to automate this thing so I can ignore it for a couple days, without actually being ignorant of the conditions. I told a friend it was tobacco all over again (A lot of work and a lot of expense). Seems like the amount of money that can be spent on this crop is...

    Ebb Flow, watering Schedule/EC (definitely Not Dialed in) Help!

    I was looking at the I was looking at the Milwaukee instruments controller, just cause its about 60% cost of Blue Lab, I do use Blue Lab truncheons, which are great for sure! How do the Blue's work? Do they have connectivity to the net? That would be a plus, as aqua x as is, can only, monitor...

    Ebb Flow, watering Schedule/EC (definitely Not Dialed in) Help!

    What is your medium? I am set up for RO, but have yet to get my silly little float valves to not float away, so Well water for now. I cant remember test results exactly, but other than high iron its pretty fair irrigation source, it is rather acidic, but oddly my pH's float upwards as plants...

    Ebb Flow, watering Schedule/EC (definitely Not Dialed in) Help!

    THIS. is what I wanted to know. Coco is pricy, I only went that route for the forgiveness factor. Bear with my stupidity, is hydroton reusable (as a best practice)? How did you plant into Hydroton, rock wool? Jiffy Pot? Bare root? I have hella bad luck with Rockwool. I am extremely interested in...

    Ebb Flow, watering Schedule/EC (definitely Not Dialed in) Help!

    I have to say with the coco, I get wild fluctuations in pH and EC. Some of it is definitely CEC loading early, and some of it is this great white, buffet of microbes. I made a nice slimy mess last week. (The plants liked it, albeit with daily ph adjustment. The pH went from 5.7 to 6.4-6.8 back...

    Ebb Flow, watering Schedule/EC (definitely Not Dialed in) Help!

    Anybody wanna share their ebb flow watering schedules/EC? I was reading Jorge Cervantes' book and it was talking about more watering cycles with less time was better, and to cut down ECs to .6 - .8 in flower (I think). So I'm week 2 Flower, at 1.8 EC, 10 minutes pump on time at lights on. (ran...

    great white mycos

    If someone wants to finance *a lot* of these questions I guess I could put in for a USDA specialty block grant on CBD hemp, and do trials. I mean it would be easy to do, just costs money like everything else.
