    Is this a calcium deficiency?

    Had a couple of Critical Kush clones in 1 gallon Down To Earth Pro Organic mix which I supplemented with 3/4 slow acting vegan fertilizer and 1/4 c kelp meal. They've been watered twice (lightly, 12 ounces water) with filtered tap water, I'm brewing the Earth Juice/worm casting tea to give them...

    great value led bulbs

    I've got 6x cxa3070 4000k and am considering doing this with 2-3 10W 2700K bulbs just to throw some extra red at them when they get to flower. I have a few of these just for the house, so it's free, except for the 30W/hour electricity, so why not? I've seen these LED corn bulbs using cobs - no...

    What do you feed your veggies?

    Pioneers in the west of US referred to urine as 'Human Compost Activator'. I'd be leery if you are using pharmacy pills, not knowing which are water soluble, but otherwise urine is great for the pile. Check with barbershops, human hair is also high in nitrogen. As others have said, coffee...

    How easy are growing A1 vegetables compared to growing A1 weed?

    I get them sent to me, because we've ordered from them in the past. You can go to the web sites for various companies and request a catalog usually, once you do that, you'll probably get them sent in subsequent years, you'll be on the list. I'm a huge fan of Territorial Seeds, they have a...

    How easy are growing A1 vegetables compared to growing A1 weed?

    One nice thing about winter is getting all the seed catalogs and looking them over for what new things you may want to try. Also, not sure where you live, but you can garden into the winter in some areas. You can plant a fall garden in July/August and include cabbage and kale, not only is it...

    How easy are growing A1 vegetables compared to growing A1 weed?

    Awesome. My haul for the season is 32 quarts of grape juice, 17 quarts paste tomatoes (Heinz) and 11 quarts peaches (Veteran). Also steamed some blackberry juice that we gleaned for free, but that's already all gone. I also dried a ton (well, close to 200 pounds) of Oregon berries - strawberries...

    How easy are growing A1 vegetables compared to growing A1 weed?

    This. I've gardened for decades, and the knowledge you gain only helps with growing weed. And to add to what GrowerGoneWild says, I agree, people should learn how to grow their own food - AND preserve it. It's one of the most revolutionary things you can accomplish, weaning yourself off...

    My plants lost their smell second week into bloom. Any ideas why?

    Thanks - I got it. It's what I was leaning toward - that it was actually a little more than 13 days away, but wasn't positive. Nice to have it confirmed. Thank you very much. And they are right near some tomatoes that are starting to look done as plants, so I know what you mean.

    My plants lost their smell second week into bloom. Any ideas why?

    They really are. Look to be a little ahead of mine.

    My plants lost their smell second week into bloom. Any ideas why?

    Hey hey! Used to live in Eugene, also Veneta, for quite a while. Eugene is great, although getting more yuppy than hippie nowadays.

    My plants lost their smell second week into bloom. Any ideas why?

    Thank you! I had asked this question in a thread in Harvesting and Curing yesterday, but hadn't gotten a response on it. I was confused, because by my count, I'm on day 45 of flowering (first observation of non pre-sex flowers) on a 56 day strain. Almost all the trichs are clear, but I do spot...

    Growing Mediums/Soils

    Outdoors, in my own organic soil. But I'm about to start an indoor grow and won't have time to compost my own this time - if I did, I'd go with something very similar to SubCools mix. I live in Oregon, so I am very partial to Down To Earth products, been using them for over three decades now...

    Question on trichomes and timing of harvest

    I'm wondering if my calculations are correct. The strain is Querkle, with an expected 56 day flowering time. Outdoors, in organic soil, no pot. I noted on the calendar the day the first flowers appeared - not the pre-sex ones. According to that count, I'm on day 43, 13 to go. The pistil tips...

    powdery mildew

    I've had good luck with 2tsp apple cider vinegar mixed with 1 quart water and applied as a spray. Had an outdoor gal next to a mildew squash plant, and weekly treatments seemed to have done the trick for me. Don't want too high a % of vinegar, it can burn the plant, I think 5% is the highest...

    Thanks to you all... It...it... LIVES!

    Yeah, that's what I used for the larger wires. I just didn't have any on hand that were tiny enough for 30g wire, the smallest I could find at the local hardware store were for 22g wires. I like the ones DonPetro listed, I am going to have to find a source for those for my next project.

    Thanks to you all... It...it... LIVES!

    Also, other may know if there is some sort of molex connector, or something similar that would make hooking up the fans more painless. I wasn't aware of anything I had on hand that would work, so went the soldering route. I was so close to finishing at that time, I just wanted to get it hooked...

    oh hell yeah! I told my wife - it burns with the light of a thousand suns! :) It feels great, and I couldn't have done with without RIU and all the collective knowledge here.

    Thanks to you all... It...it... LIVES!

    A few things - the wires are so tiny, I had to use my teeth to strip the wires, and very gently, still managed to bite off two wires. And I'm not sure what the deal was, the box for the fan said +12V DC. But my initial power supply was negative (red and black wires) and ran them at -2.5V. When I...

    I'd read up on diy LED systems, but never really got it until I read Gaius' Battlestar Ganjatica thread. Then it clicked and I had the courage to try it myself. I studied up here and lapped up advice from CaptainMorgan, SupraSL, TimFox and many others. if I don't name you, it's because, well...
