    24,000 Watt ---- Humboldt Grow ----

    I agree 100%! 6.3 has always been the magic number for me as well. I've tried the 5.5 thing and end up with lockout. Plants will pump up a tad faster at lower PH, but will not be as healthy. 6.3 is the number, and I don't adjust unless I am under 6 or over 6.5.

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    OK! We done? Seems like no matter how hard we try to keep this thread positive there's always a negative force out there trying to bring it down. This one was my fault. I shouldn't have even bit. I'll try to swim by bait like that in the future. Anyways, back to the growing! I made some great...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I'm not sure what your point is. Plant count is very important. Yes I have grown as many as 9 plants per sq ft before. Yes, NINE. And yes that was some serious yield per sq foot. If I did that in current op my total plant count would be around 3200. Let's look at Fed Law: Under 99 plants: No...

    LA's Best Clone Dispensary

    NOOOOOOO!!!!! Cloneville is the worst. Mite infested crap genetics. Everything that comes out of that place is pure shit. Took me damn near a year to get rid of the mites that arrived with Clonevill cuts.

    LA's Best Clone Dispensary

    The "Real Cali Genetics" are rarely for sale. When they are it's not 20 bucks a clone....it's thousands or even tens of thousands for a tray. I have not seen a real Pre-98 Bubba for sale in years. There are some decent OG's out there but the truly amazing stuff is hoarded and kept out of the...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Veg is everything. Spend enough time with a strain and you'll be able to predict yield from each plant before it goes into bloom...just from the look of the veg job. I do not use flood tables. Everything we do is top feed, hand water, drain to waste. We use 6" blocks in veg then go to 2 or 3...

    You can get a light for as low as $100, and as high as $500. Miner were all in the higher range. I find it odd you asking me where to find lights since there are literally hundreds of web sites advertising lights.

    24,000 Watt ---- Humboldt Grow ----

    I, too use the AN basic linup: Connoiseur, Big Bud, B-52. I also add Overdrive and Yellow Bottle Final week 5ish. We have tried Bud Factor X with mixed results. I would recommend raising the PH to 6.0 to 6.3 to get the most out of the AN nutes. When I don't adjust the PH my runoff ends up around...

    Bay area clones

    I have tried what was called Atomic NL. It was nothing like the real NL#5 I grew for 10 years+. I would dtay away from it. Stick with the great Kush's and Og's. While not the best yielders, thay rarely dissappoint on the quality front.

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    No question that, once dialed in, RDWC is a very powerful growing technique...more powerful than soiless. But, doing it right requires quite a bit of complexity. With that comes more risk of a failure costing you the whole crop. We have chosen (like most commercial growers we know) to go the...

    Make no mistake VENTURA COUNTY IS NOT MMJ FRIENDLY. But it's a nice place to raise a family.

    I do not believe LED technology is good enough yet to warrant replacing HID lighting. When we start seeing large commercial grow ops using LED's we'll give them a try. But the truth is, I have yet to see a large commercial op use these lights. Furthermore, there are SO many LED's out there that...

    Which part of Cali. to move to? please help!

    I agree with most of Kine's Ventura description except the non ethnic. He's talking of Conejo Valley...the Lilly White Ultra Conservative Suburbs of Ventura County that border The Valley. Further North, in Oxnard, the Latino Population is HUGE. This is mostly due to a massive agricultural...

    Bay area clones

    At leasst they were as advertised. Cloneville in the San Fran Valley sells mite infested crap that has nothing to do with the strain it's supposed to be.

    I'm not seeing anything close to 24,000 watts. Am I missing something?

    24,000 Watt ---- Humboldt Grow ----

    Hint: With the addition of some rain gutter and a small pump you can chop the legs off the tables and increase your vert grow space. We built our grow with a 10' ceiling AND have the tables slammed to the floor. Based on the size and early bloom stage of those plants, it looks to me like you're...

    Which part of Cali. to move to? please help!

    It's an armpit. There's a damn good reason that San Bern. county was the last to be developed. People only moved there when there was no other choice. Smog, traffic, meth....all the shit of So Cal is concentrated there. It'll be a perfect place for you.

    The guy's seriously scared and you say this? What exactly was this comment supposed to achieve? Chances are FDD's case started like this. Except him and his crew kept on going. Our poster is going to close shop.

    Dont panick. You'll be fine. I've had more serious close calls than this with no follow up. Cops like to build cases like puzzles. You just gave them a piece. It may be the first pirce or the 20th piece. Either way, in and of itself, this is no big deal. Here's the important part: There's a...
