    I find it odd that there is a Canadian Weed Mob. You guys seem too nice for that. One would think that Nor Cal would develope a Weed Mafia. Nope. Based on a series of articles I read it looks like about half of your export is controlled by a single entity. Trip out. I wish I had their phone...

    Well folks, the good news is that weed is not an easy thing to commercialize. I have operated grow ops to 40k, and managed grow ops to 200k. Once you get above 30-40k things start to get out of control. Quality goes down as the size goes up. Even with a "quality is #1 priority" attitude, it just...

    I, too, grew once in a very cold environment. I used 2 large truck radiators, one inside and one outside. If it's cold enough (always freezing) you can just use one radiator inside and a large water tank outside. The idea is that the outside air cools the water and the water then cools your grow...

    I currently use one 8" fan to cool every 4 - 1000 watt lights in my bloom room. You can look at the link in my sig for tons of pics. Your idea will work. The last light will have the least air flow, though. This can be fixed by crimping the duct in the first couple lights. By slightly...

    I keep racking my brain to try and figure out the WHY. It is a fact that the Feds do not want any legal pot above a certain size level. They are going against the will of the people on this. There is a bunch of money to be made by someone by keeping it illegal for now. I used to think it was...

    Kitty, A bit off subject. What is the deal with BC growers all growing the same strain? I see these vids, and a ton of guys are growing Hash Plant. In another time period they are all growing Jamaican. It looks like they are all getting their genetics from the same place and selling to the...

    Whoa! Are we adding nutes between water changes? If so, stop. That is a big no no. As far as seeing "micro" defs with lower ppm, 1000ppm is more than high enough. Any defs would have to be the nutes and/or ph. I should mention that micro defs are very rare when using any quality hydro solution...

    I'm with Wolverine on lowering EC/TDS. 1800 is very high for a DWC system. I'm confused about how they're using 300ppm day and also 15 gallons of water. We would typically see high water usage and increasing ppm, as the plants use more water than nutes. You may find that lowering your ppm will...

    You running a chiller on your res? Every DWC or RDWC system I've run has developed root rot without a chiller. I agree that the growth is explosive. Aeroponic is slightly faster, but 10 times the hastle. I now believe that RDWC is the best system for explosive growth combined with dependability...

    I, too, have either used or seen used just about every machine. The only settup that was even decent was 2 - $12,000 machines (forgot thew brand). One was set for the rough cut, the second for a finer trim. Even with that, every bud still needed to be inspected, and many needed some touching up...

    I do not believe it was an accident that this busted farm was being looked at by other counties as a model for regulation. The zip ties were popular amoung many growers and law enforcement. It would seem the Feds were not a fan, though. As I look into the actions (not talk) of the Federal Gov...

    I suggest everybody read this. It shows how truly fucked up the Feds have become. : http://www.sacbee.com/2011/10/30/4017018/mendocino-pot-raid-causes-stir.html The Gestapo storm troopers are at it again. My lawyer tols me that I couldn't be an activist and a grower at the same time. This is why.

    What a fucking shame. But, as my lawyer has said, "you can't be an activist AND a grower...you grow, I'll be the activist." The real sad part is that this farm was the best chance Nor Cal had at getting out of the woods. This raid set back any real legalization 5 years+. Once again, the...

    Ok, that's funny as shit. If you don't mind my asking, how much do you charge for grow room work? What is the typical range people are paid up there? What about for straight trimming? Do trimmers ever get paid for what they produce, or is it mostly hourly?

    Hey, Kit, that's a big ol' plant named after me. Really big. What are you trying to say? Seriously, is it a MOM? A production plant in bloom that has already stretched, but not yet developed flowers? Some kind of crazy test plant? It's fucking HUGE!!! Wait. You can only have 35 plants. Guess...

    I didn't mean to Big Time you with news of my dry erase gear. Well...a little bit. I've seen the remote monnitoring software. The kind that texts probs and shit. The stuff I'm talking about is just a record keeping type settup. You can label "plants" or "crops" with all the vital info, and...

    Wow. We've come a long ways. That software looks really nice. When I retire from growing and start the Grow Op Design/Build Company, that would be a must for presentations. I also have seen some really cool growroom management software. I still use a bunch of dry erase boards and a dry erase 3...

    Everybody stop. Report him, but do not engage here. He has totally fucked up enough of this thread already. Let's get back to the grow. I suggest we do not reply to any of his taunts here. Let's deal with it on the report abuse level, and/or PM's to RUI Admin. We have, thus far, crafted the most...
