    "That Stuff" Mighty Wash? Kills Mites Dead

    From the conversations Ive had with some very smart people, we think its some sort of ionizing agent. Perhaps an powerful organic ionizing molecule. NPK doesnt mention what the 99% ratio is and what it could mean is the ratio between H2O and ionizer molecules. This would explain the smell, the...

    Any Good Recipes For Making There Buds Bigger?

    in addition to what everyone said, proper pruning is another magic ingredient. All strains have their tendencies and its up to you to understand how to best trim up your plants to get what you desire in the conditions you have. I grow a few strains and one likes to be about 4 inches taller...

    Tincture Bottles

    In a backpack, traveling in tropical countries... so it will be dark but not cool. I suspect that it will retain most of its potency for at least a few month as long as it doesnt get too warm. I was considering dosing black licorice as its black, absorptive and strong smelling. Twizzlers was...

    Tincture Bottles

    Hey westcoastdank or anyone else, do you know what type of shelflife tinctures have? Im in the process of making some tinctures from alcohol and glycerin now and will do my own experiments. My end goal is to get a product such as candy or food item that I can dissolve under my tongue for...

    just an honest opinion

    its my honest opinion that you are crazy for not growing really good strains. while I could imagine that the first few rounds of growing if you are new to growing, it might be ok to grow whatever grows. But if you are really trying to do something and taking the time and expense of growing...

    How Much Does Co2 Speed Up Flowering Time?

    I have noticed this thruout lots of strains. While I agree that one needs to check with a magnifying glass, the results ive seen in a few days earlier. Another reason for this could be that my temp's are slightly higher when i am running CO2 and temperature determines reaction rates which...

    Humic acid question

    this comes out to about .003gram/gallon of soil. That seems too low for anything but as a carrier.

    Need co2 help

    Hmmm as I think about it, that isnt the best way of doing the calculations but still the number is well under .001 anyhow so the conclusion is the same :)

    Need co2 help

    ppm = parts per million. So an increase from 400ppm ambient to 1500ppm = .11% increase in percentage or .00231 loss of ambient O2. Or from 21% down to 20.99769% So dont panic and start blasting grannies O2 tank just yet.

    how to tie down a plant?

    Here is what I do. Cut a length of low strength chain link so that one side has a hook and has some links for weight depending on how much weight for bending I need. Then as the plant grows, I add chains as needed to the top of the stems so they are arching sufficiently under the lights. I...

    Temps and CO2?

    I guess the real answer to this question will come from results of your grow. 85 starts to get near a line I personally dont like to get near. @ 84 is when my cooling kicks in. High 70's to low 80's is best. CO2 will always be a benefit. While there might not be an economic reason, CO2 will...

    How Much Does Co2 Speed Up Flowering Time?

    I found that when I went to hydro and CO2 that my flower time dropped about 2 days on 56 day plants to 54. I figured mostly that the decreased time was from CO2 but i never controlled for hydro. The literature is full of plants growing bigger, faster and ripening faster because of CO2. In...

    Humic acid question

    Dont overdo it, a very little goes a long way. If you over use it, it will screw with your pH and CEC and could cause mold and lack of oxygen as the soil will be so full of glue. For a soilless mix like ProMix, here is how I would use it. In a 1gal milk jug, mix up a typical nut solution. Then...

    Need co2 help

    I take it you have a carbon monoxide monitor? Do you have one that will follow the actual PPM or just an idiot buzzer when it gets too 'high'? Smoldering charcoal eh? That is alotta incomplete combustion making all kinds of stuff. I suppose if you put it thru an AC filter first, it would...

    Could you point me to a manufacturer of a charcoal co2 generator or do I have to make one myself?

    "How plants communicate"

    In botany school, we did lots of probing of 'communication'. I can remember rigging up with electrodes all thruout the plant. When ripping a leaf on one side, all thruout the plant, including roots and flower petals saw a surge in electrochemi potential. We could also manipulate the various off...

    increased yield but reduced potency

    Can you possibly describe why this is? or what is it that you prefer about it?

    Expensive is a better word. And ofcourse there are degrees of 'Unsealed'.

    increased yield but reduced potency

    Collective Gardener, this is what I was getting at when I talked about the 'nutrient dense foods' hypothesis. When talking about biology or soil or physics or most anything, we should start the sentence with 'at our current level of ignorance we think we know...'. Believe me, Im the first guy to...

    increased yield but reduced potency

    Im curious if you have tried a side by side compare with the same clones and which it is you prefer? And if you say that they are the same, then my next question is why would you do both if they are both the same? I will admit that I am a novice hydro grower having only done it practically for...
