    Automated Curing Method

    Thanks man. Yea I have a small digital hygrometer that I plan to use for this little project and I agree that this will be integral in adjusting an air pump timer to get the right RH. I think I'll just have the one tube going into the top of the mason jar and then a bunch of tiny hole poked...

    Automated Curing Method

    I like the idea of a drying box but I'm worried about over-drying as well especially in the stage I'll be at when I leave. For my last plant, not yet chopped, she'll have 11 days to hang dry and jar cure. I was thinking that the 6-8 days of burping in the jars wouldn't be enough for the RH to...

    1st Drip Hydro Grow - (10) Bubble Ice F/ Autoflowers, EcoGrowers, 357Magnum LEDs

    I had a similar situation as yours Demon and I ended up trimming the bottom 1/3 of 2 (out of 4) of my plants and leaving the other 2 as is (not pruned). This pruning was done @ 2 1/2 weeks into flowering. The results were the 2 plants that I had pruned ended up with a much heftier main cola and...

    Automated Curing Method

    Anyone know of such a thing? Basically it's because I'll be out of town for 5 days soon after a harvest and I'm worried about leaving buds too moist inside a mason jar without being able to burp them occasionally. On the flip side I don't want to hang too long and over-dry harvested plants...

    Algae Question

    Well, higher temps might help algae growth but algae *needs* light to survive so get rid of the light leaks and you'll get rid of the algae. If you run inorganic nutrients you can also use food grade h202 (29-50%) in your rez every 3-4 days to help.

    Algae Question

    Well if you can get rid of the light leak then you should be OK. I think algae is a problem just for the fact that it will feed on the nutrients you are trying to give to your plant(s). Just check your air-stone after a few days and see if the problem continues.

    Nutriet Mixing Question

    With the Lucas Formula you'll want to add the Micro first to your reservoir and let it mix before adding Bloom. If you top with nutrient mix then still add micro first before bloom and then you can add the solution to your reservoir.

    1st Drip Hydro Grow - (10) Bubble Ice F/ Autoflowers, EcoGrowers, 357Magnum LEDs

    I think they mean ready to harvest once 12/12 lighting is established and the plant goes into flowering stage for the 7 week estimate. In your case since preflowers have just begun to show then maybe start counting in a week once actual flowers start showing to begin the 7 week countdown. Even...

    Rockwool to Rockwool ( the dangers )

    There is no danger in this if you make sure the larger RW is also moist (presoaked as well) so it doesn't leach out the moisture from your little RW cube. Most people tend to wait until roots show in the little plugs but it's not absolutely integral.

    A 5 Litre Bottle Flood and Drain

    Well the 2 litre bottles is more volume than the pots I grew mine in. Basically I trimmed down a 6 x 6 inch rock wool slab to fit into the pots that were provided by the E & F system I had purchased (5 x 5 inc). The total volume of these 5x5's is roughly 1/2 of a 2 litre bottle if I were to...

    A 5 Litre Bottle Flood and Drain

    I grew my plants from seed in 5x5 inch rockwool cubes (roughly 1.4 litres I think?) and they are now in late flowering with zero issues. Someone told me that due to the nature of hydro the size of the root container isn't bound by size as much as soil based plants. My plants are roughly 3.25...

    Why Is The Jewish Community So Hated Throughout History?

    Their first exile was 700 years or so before the birth of Christ. While I admit that monotheistic/polytheistic schisms may have played a role in this hatred pre diaspora it's just as easy to view it common warfare between barbarous regions. When the Assyrians first expelled the Jews from Israel...

    Why Is The Jewish Community So Hated Throughout History?

    Well I hadn't written it to be an anti-Semitic rant so I apologize if I came across that way. I was attempting to answer the question of why the Jewish people have been "hated" in so many nations that they settled using as objective as possible terminology. I have Jewish friends who have pointed...

    Why Is The Jewish Community So Hated Throughout History?

    So if I summed up your argument in a sentence it would read something like: The Jewish people have been hated as a religion and community throughout history because the Jews were the first Monotheistic religion and conflicted with polytheistic cultures at the time. Does that sound right? I'm...

    Why Is The Jewish Community So Hated Throughout History?

    So you really think that the pogroms and exiling in the last 100 years or so are a relic of old polytheistic/monotheistic differences? The courses on Anthropology of Religion covered why Jews are disliked throughout history or the conflict between polytheism and monotheism? Is your telling me...

    Why Is The Jewish Community So Hated Throughout History?

    I mentioned the Jewish belief that they are chosen race as something that pretty much wouldn't have helped the attitudes towards them. I agree that other religions think the same way however I think any minority group living in the confines of a majority owned state or region will experience...

    Why Is The Jewish Community So Hated Throughout History?

    Well I only mentioned the Diaspora to relate to the idea that the Jews, as a people, were exiled from their lands and settled in foreign lands. I'm arguing that them setting themselves apart *is* the reason why they were disliked. I would disagree that their monotheism would have caused the...

    Why Is The Jewish Community So Hated Throughout History?

    I don't think it was the Jewish religion so much as the Jews themselves. I think it's because in many cases the Jews in various lands during their diaspora set themselves up as different or distanced themselves culturally to those places they lived. Couple that notion with the knowledge that...

    New to Grow Journal

    Wow your girls either exploded in bud development or your picture taking got a hell of a lot better. Either way they're looking superb! Jeez, I just looked up that gravity stuff and it's expensive! I'm not sure if my larger buds are dense or not but by their weight I'd hope that they had some...

    Ph Problem

    Your tap water is fine. Did you wash out the hydroton before you used it? If you don't thoroughly wash out the dust from the hydroton it will raise your ph. If you're experiencing burned leaf tips then yes lower your ppms down a bit and see if that helps.
