    Hydroponic aint that damn hard ppl!!

    Okay okay. There's a million posts on hydroponic vs soil. Im not even going to get into that debate. This thread is started because im really tired of people being so intimidated by hydroponic growing. I too started in soil and had failures and success. Then I took the plunge and went hydro...

    Help!!! SOS!!! Mayday!!!!

    Looks fine. Forget HOW much they drink. Flood 'em, then wait until they are very light to pick up and flood again. Watering 5 gal pots daily??? I only watered mine in 3gallon pots about every 4-6days. If you are watering daily, maybe theyre overwatered? Remember, the roots LOVE oxygen, so you...

    Why Does My Ph Go Up Every Day? Will I Ever Stop Adding Ph Down?

    Wow, thats a Ton of hydroton. My last grow, I used AN and EJ in hydro. It way outperformed my earth juice in soil! I only used their 3 part gmb, the overdrive, and the final phase. I'd say the cost of that nutrient set was about $160? Anyhow, its enough nutes to keep 60gall res tank refreshed...

    Why Does My Ph Go Up Every Day? Will I Ever Stop Adding Ph Down?

    Heres my answer to the problem in a 13 gallon 7.6 tap water tote. Put water in tub, add ph down, get it down to about 5.2-5.4., add nutes (i use ph stable nutes) . Aerate with some stones for 2 hrs, recheck ph. The water company told me calcium and chlorine in water. Calcium buffers ph back up...

    Is this TDS meter for $15.00 junk ?

    Ive got two of em! The first one is still working after tons of use for over 9months. I dropped it in water and it quit working, so I quickly ordered another! By morning, dried and new batteries, the old one still works great! Now Ive got a backup! Since that panic, I bought a spare cheap ass ph...

    Carbon filter- hood - hood - fan- exaust?

    Ive run about the same setup, with a passive intake. I put my filter before the light, company told me it operates better if you pull thru it. Besides, since that, I havent had to clean my damn hood hardly at all. With a 600cf room and a 560cfm fan, Heat is NOT an issue. Nor is smell. Whats most...

    7 weeks in flwr and leaves are dead. what happend??

    Let it ride, if the leaves are looking really poorly, adding much more nutes wont help. If you're within 2 weeks of harvest, I say go one more week at light nutes and begin flush. Flush em till the trichs are ready!! I think the finish of a plant is VERY dependent on the health of it throuout...

    Ideal number of watts per plant for a good yield??

    Totally agree. I got 1400w on a 3.5x3.5' table with cooled hoods at 8" above. Makes awesome nugs and good yield. Do the math :)'

    Flush for too long?

    If the leaves are still a good green, Keep flushing!! If you're in soil, youll never notice. If youre in hydro, it could be a good thing! A lot of growers like to go nitrogen def in the end anyhow. Me, I keep mine green to the end, but either way does fine. The plants will consume whatever...

    Confused about how to plant germinated/sprouting seeds!

    Root down. Or as a bean, pointy end down. Gotta get it right in rockwool cubes, or you get a really bad start

    Transplant to bigger pots? Ready to flower?

    I recently harvested a grow similar to yours. I had mine in the little tiny starter wool cubes, and set them in about 3/4 gallon of hydroton. I Left them in the small tubs, and upon harvest (25-30"), I found that the root mass was very healthy and NOT completely filliing the tub. 1 gal per foot...

    flowering time?

    I think its a personal preference with the times given on beans I order. I found If I harvest at day 65 (begin at 12/12) on a pack of 65-75, I get a lighter buzz. Most of the time, I shoot for the later of the time-frame. If a pack says 30 days, I'd guess about 30-37 from 12/12. just my 2cents

    Quick Cure Drying Rack

    Some blueberry curing. The Afghan Kush going to take longer. Took the blueberry 4 days to dry, thinking about 5 for the rest. Loved the results. The nugs were a tad flat, but they stayed sticky. Really a quick cure if you spread the nugs thin. As the nugs get closer to dry, I keep stacking them...

    how many seeds

    Im gna agree with the 50-150 idea. I revegged and seeded the shit outta one of mine. Got probably around 130 beans or so. Nice big brown ones. No bud to smoke, musta been a male. lmfao!! I luv typos! Earlier pollination leads to more beans me thinks. Hard water? Oh man thats great.

    Fastest and easiest strain to grow indoors??

    pyramid "galaxy". got one bean, took off like a champ from the go, great yield. First gr8 grow, was total noob. Organic ferts in cheap shit soil. No ph meter. Short plant,wide fan leaves. Looks like my lemon skunk is a champ too, but stretchy, less yield. Gna stick with pyramid galaxy for ease...

    Quick Cure Drying Rack

    Nope, Im too lazy to hang all those budz. Im going for the trim to perfection, toss in rack. Once dry to touch, gna put in big glass jars and burp for about 2weeks minimum. I cant bring myself to hang each branch again, I figure if it crushes the buds a tad (which it is), it wont be noticeable...

    1000watt hps and low ceilings

    Thanks for the info. My doodad list is far from complete. Gna go with movers and hangers someday. The filter you see there was a homemade filter. I spent about $40 and it didn't work well enough. My location depicts my filter work flawlessly. I ended up crying for a while, then dropping about...
