    GreenCure Powdery Mildew Treatment?

    I use greencure to control PM. It will kill the spots of PM that you see but by that time its too late and the PM has reproduced and spewed its spores all over the place. Your fans help to blow them around and the spores get on the leaf surface in other areas. To effectively treat for PM...

    If I dig a 3x3x3 hole I have to fill the whole thing w/ Foxfarm

    If your soil is nice you dont have to buy and pack in soil. All you do is make up a Pre-mix of organic amendments and you mix that in with the native soil. I dig up a 5 gallon hole and add about 4 cups of my organic pre-mix. Then mix it together on a tarp and dump it back in the hole...

    Diy Trimbox

    Ive used my trimbox for several harvests now and I am sooo glad I made it. It turns an 8 hour harvest job into 1 hour with the power trimmer.

    hempy collective re-vised

    I used to run an Indica strain that had a tendency to get budrot. The Greencure helps to prevent that and Powdery Mildew. I spray down my Mothers with it and my clones just before they go into flower. Basically it raises the PH of the leaf surface and the Potassium Bicarbonate will kill...

    hempy collective re-vised

    I just remembered I bought a $20 dollar tub of greencure at the same time I got my drip irrigation parts. So I really only spend about $70 on all the parts for my drip rig. Here is another tip: After you punch a hole in the 1/2 inch black poly with the punch tool for the 1/4 inch lines you...

    hempy collective re-vised

    This is a pic of the in-line filter attached to the pump: What you have is a short piece of 1/2 inch tube maybe 4 or 5 inches long connected to the pump on one end and the other end has the Male threaded permaloc - that screws onto one end of the filter - then you screw the female threaded...

    Why does my PH always fluctuate?

    I consider this to be one of the flaws of a re-circulating system. That's why I like non-recirculating Drip Irrigation systems that pump fresh nutes through drippers to your plants. With that kind of a rez you don't need a Meter in there for constant testing. Because there is no roots...

    I spent $90 for all my drip irrigation parts. - the Pump A complete parts list is over on my white poison thread. Ordered the individual parts I needed from Drip Depot, you have to get rolls of 50 feet of tube at a time tho. And stuff like drippers and small fittings come in packs of 10...

    The main fittings are called perma-lock. Those are the elbows and such that connect the 1/2 inch black poly tube. These are very solid fittings and there is no way they will ever leak. The smaller fittings that snap in and connect to the 1/4 inch tube are more vulnerable to small leaks...

    hempy collective re-vised

    With my two liter and 1 gallon hempys on drip irrigation, a single half gallon per hour dripper per pot was enough to wet the entire media through wicking action. Ebb and Flow is a recirculating system. But I setup my drip irrigation as a Non-recirculating system. Pump directly to each...

    600w vs. 1000w. Longer flowering time?

    A 600 watter will not fill in a 6x6 area adequately with light. You will need a 1000 for that. A 600 should be used for nothing bigger then 4x4

    Molasses. A double edged sword?

    The most effective use of Molasses is food for your Symbiotic Micro-herd. If its being used for any other purpose its economically unsound.

    Bone meal and blood meal

    Use two parts bone meal to one part of bloodmeal and mix it with your dirt at least two weeks before you plant on the holes. Two reasons for doing that, The organics need a bit of time to "cook" or activate. It will warm up the soil if its too hot. Also Animals love the smell of bone and...

    Outdoor Soil mix

    I assume you planning on mixing in other dry amendments for NPK and trace elements ? Maybe a bit of molasses for the microbes to eat but other then that it looks good.

    Paper bag drying method question ,

    Cation - its horrible advice to cut your buds fresh off the plant and put it in a paper bag. You will get mold and ruin the whole harvest. The correct way is to hang dry the plants for a few day and then paper bag them. If your plants are wispy and not dense, well sorry but you are a bad...

    Trying Hempy, process after rockwool?

    GH stands for General Hydroponics - A nutrient Company. You can transplant the rockwool seedling right into the hempy bucket. Ive used Peat pucks too.

    My Hempy Bucket

    Its a bit too early to think about topping. I know you want to keep things and short a possible probably, but if that is the case you should start with a clone and not a seedling. Seedlings must be grown for at least 2 months before they reach maturity and only then are they ready to be...

    How many lights for outdoor vegging?

    Lmao you will need alot of light if you want 4 foot tall clones for planting. If you skimp on the light the plants will be weak and they will bust and fall over in the wind and die. So you have to grow the plants very robust with alot of light and space so they will be strong enough to...
