    The Best N-P-K

    15 pages to say that the ideal amount of N is as much as the plant can take without burning... What other answer would there be?

    Let's Discuss Some Old School Hash Methods

    real old school: take fresh buds on the stalks. Get a big barrel and wash your feet really well. Take handfulls of stalks with buds and just start rolling them around the bottom of the barrel with your feet. From time to time scrape the goo off your feet. It's basically the same idea as...

    Green-o-matic, 3 days until harvest, Pictures

    it looks to me like you're in the early window. How long you wait can be mainly a question of taste, but I'd suggest giving it a few days (maybe 20-30% amber trichs), try it out, and alter your next harvest based on whether you liked it or not. Alternatively you could start earlier in the...

    Help identifying a light?

    yep it's a mh, take it from someone who has used them for over 15 years in every form factor avail :) The halide envelope is the dead give away.

    Blueberry strain

    well, when people talk about true blueberry they are talking about something created by DJ short. He has created a huge number of unique strains, and primarily his work has been done with the intention of creating breeding strains. Most of these he created were not released and were used for...

    Indoor Perpetual Closets

    Welcome to my journal masscom! Will be doing a real update in a few days when the OC gets harvested and replaced, but in the mean time I measured the plants in flower, so figured I should post the results :D All heights are above ground (does not include pot/roots). Killing Fields #2...

    Help identifying a light?

    that's a metal halide. Easiest way to tell is that it has that little envelope looking thing in it that runs to the wires. That envelope is where the halides that produce the light spectrum are held. An HPS will look a bit more like a traditional bulb, just larger and with a little more wires...

    Lighting???????????

    most LED companies will claim their lights produce equivlent of 4x times the wattage (power factor of .25). This is basically wrong. In general plan on 2x (power factor of 50%, roughly equivalent to t5's), so a 90w is more realistically comparable to a 200w. Beyond that it's nauseating how...

    growroom setup

    whether there is enough room is something you can answer. You have the lights, see if they will fit. At the worst you will need a tape measure and some paper to draw it out if you can't tell from just looking at the space, or placing them in there. 8x5=40 ft^2, 5x5=25 ft^2. The more space...

    Best soil to use!!!!!

    Get the idea of best out of your head and start learning differences. Make educated decisions or you'll always just be relying on experience that likely has nothing to do with your situation. For instance, since neither FF or promix is best, what makes them different? Do you need something...

    Blueberry strain

    you also want to consider that true blueberry was created as a breeding strain, so it might not be as stable as hybrids made from it, usually breeders want a higher pheno variety in breeding strains.

    veg too flowering 24 hours to 18 and 6 then too 12 and 12 ?????

    Out of hundreds of grow descriptions I've read on this site, only one has actually bothered acclimating to 12/12. Pretty much everyone just switches 12/12. A reason to taper it down though is that the amount of needed dark to flower is strain dependent. Some strains need 12, some need less...

    Plant Lighting Hydroponics.com REVIEW

    I have ordered from plantlightinghydroponics. Got a sunblaze 48 (4' 8-tube) T5, along with extra bulbs and didn't have any problems. They were quick to call to verify the additional lights as well as to verify that turning the manufacturers box inside out would be fine for discrete shipping...

    potent strains

    brick top nailed it. Too many threads are basically "what is the best ...". You'll find that nearly nothing in growing is black and white, cut and dry, or nearly as finite as having a 'best'. Anyone who tells you "this is the best," likely has not had much experience growing (or at the very...

    what does this look like to u guys?? nute burn?

    looks like nute burn to me, ph would typically cause a lockout and lead to a deficiency, unless it's really off in which case it could be the culprit. I'd check PH, and at the same time reduce nute load and taper back up over time (stick near the manufacturers directions on how much to build up...

    I cut early because of a hermie at one point, and the yield was pathetic. Potency sucked too, ended up putting it to butane for oil.

    veg light need some advice guys

    same here. Have 2 MH's sitting in boxes since I got my 4 foot 8 tube t5. think the sunblaze is 48"x22", would fit perfectly. Put it on pulleys or yo-yo's or something so you can raise it with the plants easily. T5's should be very close to plants. A small fan helps with this as well :)

    veg and flower

    you can do the fox farm with two (tiger bloom, and grow-big), you'd just be skipping the supplemental flowering nutes. Still will be better than no nutes, or using the same mix for veg/flower.

    Gettin the herbz thru Airport Security

    I say be different, hide it out in the open! Buy a cheap coat, and go out into the forest, collect a ton of branches and leaves and stuff. Then sew it all over your coat, with a liberal helping of buds mixed in to look inconspicuous. Tell the TSA people it's the newest fashion, and you can...

    sativa, indica - what sort of mix?

    lol, this is worse than posting plant pics and asking the strain! No one is going to be able to tell you. I'd say a hybrid, but yeah, that just narrows it down to a few thousand strains...
