    New. I have questions.

    1. Probably, but why spend money on something you don't really need? Are you going to use these for germination? If so, paper towels are free, I'd use those if I was short on cash. 2. It's probably fine for beginners but again, not absolutely needed. I mean doing a quick search it looks like for...

    First attempt at recycling soil

    So what I ended up adding additionally per cf was...2 cups azomite 2-3 cups EWC (I feel like I should maybe do more) 1 cup sea bird guano 12-11-2 (I thought that would boost my N up to a good level) I'm planning on making a run tomorrow to get some rock phosphate, and I was planning on some...

    getting setup efficiently (help please)

    I would definitely consider using the t5's for your small plants, any seedlings, clones, etc., and for your mothers. If you are going to use the MH in your veg I'd probably section off an area for the 400w you have so the plants that were coming from the t5 room (or clone/seedling room) would...

    getting setup efficiently (help please)

    Yea I don't really think it's design so much as it is experience. Your equipment is good, if you're looking for advice on setup I'd say it's pretty simple with the lights you have, throw however many HPS you can fit in the 8x10 flower room, or you could convert over some to MH or CMH to get a...

    Bring it home with child's tonight if the situation warrants, for some reason that always does it for me.

    I love to smoke, and I love to do yoga.. Anyone have any experience mixing those two?

    I do this all the time, you'll really enjoy it. For me at least, it lets me get in to my body more, I feel it a lot more. I think they pair very well IMO

    getting setup efficiently (help please)

    That didn't answer the question though. I didn't ask if you used it all at one time, I asked how many grows you have completed with that setup. In other words, you must have harvested some plants, assessed that your yield wasn't high enough, and then came to ask for advice about how to get more...

    getting setup efficiently (help please)

    How many grows have you actually completed with that setup?

    Moving to Colorado

    Another Louisianan? Hurry up and get your butt up here man! Lol, I moved from Shreveport about 3-4 years ago so I know the feeling of wanting to get out. A couple other people have given some really good advice around here so I'm just going to reiterate that although Pueblo was voted worst at...

    First attempt at recycling soil

    OK I'm going to go grab some EWC and azomite tomorrow to add to the mix, and I think I'll run with that for my first go around. Yea it does seem like warmer weather is coming but idk where you are here in CO though that can change in a minute. I think I'm going to bring them inside just to be...

    First attempt at recycling soil

    Right on, thanks Richard great info as always. So I'm guessing different compost has different nutrients, which I didn't even think about when I went to buy the stuff. Maybe mushroom compost wasn't the best idea. I was thinking I would get the bulk of N from compost, maybe that was backward...

    First attempt at recycling soil

    I was looking to get some advice on my recent attempt to recycle my soil. I didn't know if what I used/amounts would be sufficient to use the soil in my next grow. For 1 cf of soil I mixed - 1/3 of my old soil (which was a mix of ffof and perlite, garden lime, kelp meal), 1/3 mushroom compost...

    Don't try DXM, please.

    Yea I used to pop those Coricidin HBP C&C 30 mg's each 20-25 at a time just to start the night out. It's really a crazy drug, keeps you "high" for days if you take enough. I used to stay up 2-3 days from 1-2 doses if they were large enough. It was really stupid, like corso said grab a beer dude...

    Don't try DXM, please.

    True, 300mg is nothing idk what this kid is worried about

    soil grow.. "To Ph runoff or not to Ph runoff.. And Go!! lol

    pHing your runoff tells you nothing, however measuring the ppms of the runoff can be useful when trying to diagnose issues

    What kind of hood are you using?

    I mean it really depends on what your needs are/ what you are trying to achieve. If you can control the heat then yea, bare bulb reflector wing all day, but if heat is an issue, gotta go with the hood. The cooltubes only if there is a height issue. Bottom line, you don't glass between your bulb...

    Moving to Colorado

    If you're worried about cost a living, I'd say Pueblo or the Springs, but you're worried about quality of life, I'd say Denver. Oregon is cool too though

    1st grow pointers and tips.

    Yea I saw your other post and I wouldn't recommend transplanting to solo cups or anything like that. You may have set yourself back a couple days, maybe, but in the grand scheme of things it really isn't going to hold you back that much as long as you don't exacerbate it further. In other words...
