    Overages

    Due to the uncertainty of the current laws I find the best method of limiting my usable to 2.5oz is to throw the overage into the garbage. I put it in a medium brown paper bag. I then clean the cats' litterbox and throw some of that in on top and shake it up real good. Then I roll the bag...

    Combining Strains into a Blend

    I don't see people talking about combining strains into a blended smoke but I have started to do it and so far it seems to be working out well. I don't mean breeding, I mean grinding up different strains and blending them. I have six different pinch bowls with different strains, sometimes I...

    Attitude Seed bank feminised all males!!

    Bonzo1, I just went through my records real quick. I have sprouted about 40 (not counting 5 in veg) seeds from Attitude, all fem'd. 2 have been males, 4 seeds never sprouted, 2 grew too fast and stretched too much for my space. I have lost a number to herming, but I think most of those were...

    How I Greatly Reduced My Waste of Liquid Nutrients While Measuring Small Amounts

    As I mentioned above, the chance of cross contamination of additives/nutrients is too high with the plastic syringes, it is nil with the condiment dispensers. I forgot to mention that for measuring liquid amounts less than a teaspoon/5 ml I use the 5ml testing tube from a previous pH test kit...

    How I Keep Track of My Small Perpetual Grow

    I get all my seeds from Attitude and they have a nice one page summary of each strain. I started printing these on the back of each plant's spreadsheet and wonder why I did not start doing this right from the start. It is nice to have all that info readily at hand. Make sure your printer...

    Small soil grow tent setup looking for a couple of opinions from the experts

    One thing I almost certain of is that you will eventually add a direct air input from a vent near the floor and an output through a vent near the ceiling, both of these will be into your room due to cost (outside would be great but cost prohibitive and unnecessary due to your needs). Use cold...

    How I Greatly Reduced My Waste of Liquid Nutrients While Measuring Small Amounts

    Your method is attractive because it has a lower initial cost. But it has more waste due to the amount of additive/nutrient that is clinging to the inside and outside of the tube that must be washed away. The real reason why I have decided I would not use your method though is the chance of...

    Help :/

    If you just did it then start the day over and do it right. You can't have done too much damage at this point and you can probably still prevent the damage that may/will occur if you don't change the soil. You can't have too much invested in the new (damaged) soil - not more than the seed...

    Question about Fox farms Nutes??

    Yes, it means you should mix them into a gallon of water together. You need to start with the bare gallon of water, I use reverse osmosis water so I add some Cal-Mag at this point, then I add each of the Foxfarm concentrates separately, washing out my measuring tool between each...

    How I Greatly Reduced My Waste of Liquid Nutrients While Measuring Small Amounts

    I hate to waste. I have based much of my career on reducing waste. I have a small perpetual soil grow using the full line of Foxfarm soils and nutrients (both concentrates and solubles). I mix a half gallon or gallon of feedings at a time and therefore need to measure liquid amounts of 2.5...

    How I Keep Track of My Small Perpetual Grow

    I start 2 or 3 new plants each month. Currently I have 12 plants total but they are at six different ages. I could not keep up with who had what/when before I came up with these. The sheets do not require much time at all to keep updated. I probably average about 15 minutes a day tending to...

    How I Keep Track of My Small Perpetual Grow

    I have been using the attached sheets as a basis for a 3 ring binder that I use to keep records of each of my plants, and my grow room in general, for the last nine months and it is working great for me. I have a small perpetual soil grow using the full line of Foxfarm soils and nutrients (both...

    8 milliliters = 1.62307309 US teaspoons

    I picked up a measuring glass like this one http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=47773 at my local hydro shop. It has measurements for teaspoons, tablespoons, ounces and milliliters. Money well spent.

    Licensed Grow Room. Can only have 12 plants. Need Advice.

    I am in the same boat as you. Are you aware that you are also prohibited from having over 2.5oz of usable material on hand at any time? Another limitation that will affect your system's design. I suggest you hold off on the CO2 system. You may never really need it. I have been reading Al B...

    Help me design 6'x4' basement closet

    Again, lots of great advice, thank you all. closetspace, I really appreciate the very similar basement experience, that put my mind at ease regarding temps. Today I ran into a new legal limitation, I found that I can only have 2.5 oz of dried, smokable bud at any time. This is in addition to...

    Help me design 6'x4' basement closet

    Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all the input. I spent more time watching the Mr Green series of videos than I have ever spent in total on YouTube. Well worth the hour plus of time, thanks. I am pretty sure now that I am going to go hydro. The area is already drywalled, although not...
