Finding a good, local hydro shop is like stumbling upon buried treasure.

How old are these seedlings? They look pretty healthy from the pics aside from that yellowing. What is your pH like? It could be related to a pH imbalance. Regarding your nutrients, you should only be feeding them with plain water and possibly a hormone treatment, such as SuperThrive, for...

Thanks for the Purple Maxx info and comparison pics, Smokey! The one that got the Purple Maxx looks a lot more robust than the other one. You can definitely tell that it's got better trichome development. Tomorrow, my crop will get their first shot of Purple Maxx. So, I've got my hopes up...

After doing a bunch of research, including scouring the forums here at RIU, speaking with experienced users, consulting with my hydro shop guy, and emailing the folks who actually made the product, I've decided on the following treatment plan. At the beginning of Week 3 of my flowering cycle...

Whatsup Rasta... So you've got some heat problems. I don't need to tell you that temps of 90°F+ are just too high. What sort of ventilation system do you have? That's where you'll need to focus your attention to get those temps down. You want to keep it under 80°F with the lights on, and...

Hey Guys... Well, I'm on Day 14 of the flowering cycle and my babies are progressing nicely. Buds are forming on schedule, and the smell has really kicked in. Most of the plants are around 4ft tall and I'm hoping they don't get much taller. Next week i'll be adding Purple Maxx to the feeding...

Hey Everyone... I'm down in Miami doing the vacation thing for a few days, soakin' up some warm tropical sun. I'll be back on the farm tomorrow afternoon and will post updated pics as soon as possible. I always love going out of town for a few days, then returning to see how much my babies...

No problem brotha... always happy to help out. I'm about to catch a flight down to Miami so I'm logging off now and won't be back on til I touch down later this afternoon. I'll check out your grow and hit you up. Peace :-D

Genetics is what determines how many fingers your leaves will have. I've got a plant right now that has 13-finger leaves... no shit. Each leaf looks like two leaves, one on top of the other. It's fuckin crazy. As far the electricity goes, I don't worry about that and I don't think anyone...

Awesome setup BC! How big is your grow area?

This is a good idea, buckd. Reading up on this shit and getting advice from others is a great way to get ideas and learn, but nothing beats gettin your hands dirty and trying it out yourself. I do little experiments like that all the time and it has taught me all sorts of shit I wouldn't have...

Is you light sealed and air-cooled? If not, you may want to consider getting a sealed air-cooled reflector. You should be able to get one for under $100. Both my 600w lights are air-cooled and I am able to keep them about 10" from the tops of my plants without any burning. My canopy temp...

If your temps are high with a 600w, its gonna be much higher with a 1000w but you already knew that. I am against cutting lower growth myself. I've found that it dramatically reduces my yields. Instead, I pinch and manipulate the fan leaves so that all the growth shoots are able to be exposed...

Wow, what a dick. I hope he sprouts his first seed and gets raided by the bacon. Hey schmuckball... do you want us to come over and wipe your ass for you too? What a jerkoff.

Your 600w setup still has quite a bit of potential. With the proper nutes and grow environment you should be able to yield about 1g per watt, which means you should be getting closer to a pound per harvest. Before investing in a bigger light, maybe there are other areas you could improve upon...

Yeah, better chop it down before it spooges all over your female plants and ruins them.

He's only working with 6 cubic feet of total space. This is a tiny area for a normal grow, nevermind a dual-chambered veg and flowering area. I can't see you harvesting more than a few grams per harvest with this sort of setup. You'd be better off scrapping the perpetual growth idea until you...

I don't see how you're going to pull off a perpetual grow in a space that small. Do you have two rooms, or just the one? In order to do a perpetual grow you need to have a flowering room and a vegging room.

I just read an article in Maximum Yield magazine about the use of Hydrogen Peroxide. I always thought it was a good idea to add a capful to one gallon of water every now and then. But the article explains that, especially in soil, peroxide should only be used as a last resort to fix an...

Really bro?
