    first DWC grow

    Ok... so you want to keep your reservoir between 65-73 F. Use a chiller or heat mat to maintain temp. Best to get some Hydrogaurd or the equivalent to keep roots healthy. 1200 ppm is on the high side - I personally don't go much over 900 ppm. What nutes are you going to be running? I

    12/12 from seed Party Cup Comp

    Good job on a fun grow, right? Were these plants grown under 12/12 lighting from seed? Not that I consider myself a pro, but looking at your plants I would say they would have developed much larger nugs if you had more light. The reflection of the plant in the first pic shows it is a...

    3 week old seedlings forced into flower

    For the record, there is nothing wrong with flowering a young plant.

    Greenpoint seeds!!

    I used blumats for a few grows and they work well -- until they don't. Mine would plug sometimes and other times they would water like crazy, emptying my reservoir into my tent. The plants grew great, but blumats are not "set it and forget it". You definitely need to check them every day, in my...

    Second attempt at a grow

    How big of a tent? The plant looks good, but my first reaction is you need a better light to produce better/more bud.

    Carbon Filter quality improving??

    I experimented with a plugged filter last night by removing the carbon and soaking it in pool (muriatic) acid for an hour, rinsing, and heating it in the oven. The carbon did not get rinsed enough so when heating it stunk like acid so I cut short the heating process. Oops. Something I...

    Carbon Filter quality improving??

    I have only used cheap filters and while they filter air well, but they plug up. I have plugged up 2 6" and now my 8" is barely flowing any air. I just ordered some new activated carbon to try to rework one of the 6" filters, but am also considering buying a better filter. Do you guys know...

    24hr rspec???

    I wouldn't bet the farm on leds wearing out from turning them on and off. Incandescent and HID, yes... leds, no.

    Custom cfl winter grow, 4x4 tent outside, vancouver island

    Is that -10C or -10F? If I was trying to do what you suggest, I would definitely use a dehumidifier once buds are forming to try to save the plants from mold. Run the lights at least 20 hours, 24 if the plants can handle it. 276 watts 24 hours a day may be enough heat. Consider covering the...

    Greenpoint seeds!!

    Yeah, I am super excited about the Docs. 2 of the 3 stretched quite a bit. The right rear and left front plants are the tallest Docs at a little over 3'. These plants were grown with no veg time - 12/12 from seed. Hoping for a pound out of this grow, expecting 8+ zips. Not bad for a 2x3...

    Greenpoint seeds!!

    Updates on my Doc's and Jelly Pies. 4 of the plants are at 66 days and have very few few amber trics at this time. The last plant in the back left is a JP that was started later than the others. Harvest time is coming soon. The plants are: Jelly Pies in left rear and center, Doc's in right...

    Who grows in Smaller Pots than 5 Gallon?

    Well I guess I better contribute to this long dead thread. I have grown in 3.5 gallon and5 gallon buckets using coco and perlite or just straight perlite. For watering, I used Blumat drippers and rarely ever got run off unless the Blumats messed up. Either 3.5 or 5 gallon buckets yielded...

    Please help me with my light choice

    4 Redwood Vs would be 2560 watts of very high quality cobs. Those would be my choice. Of course you could go with 4 Fattys but I would expect they would be too much light unless you dimmed them down. https://timbergrowlights.com/redwood-vs/ https://timbergrowlights.com/fatty-vs/
