    True or False? For the pro's only

    Well it's time for me to stop visiting RUI again as there's more negative crap in one thread than the entire RM3 site.....now. Michigan.....I've been around awhile and it's been my experience that when someone always seems angry at others is actually anger at themselves. I hope you find the...

    True or False? For the pro's only

    Mich... You and I really didn't spend much time on Rid's site together, and I really don't know what the hell happened over there, but in the 4 years I've been on his site he's never told someone to not use or use Ocean Forest....at least from everything I've read. It's just not his style. I...

    True or False? For the pro's only

    RM3 has never said his type of growing will increase yield as that's not his focus. He's spent years striving for a certain buzz....the best buzz in the world, or at least his best buzz, and shares how he's both failed and had great success along the way. One of his creations, Colorado Thunder...

    I feed my plants mountain dew

    I have made one comment on here in the past year and then read the rude comments that followed.....this is why I don't play in the RIU sandbox anymore.

    I feed my plants mountain dew

    I inherited an office with a sick and almost dead rubber plant. Out of sheer laziness I would dump half empty coffee cups and flat Mt. Dew into the plant's container. After about a month of doing this, that plant was blasting off! I've thought about this off and on over the years of growing...

    Jacks Classic No Calcium

    I've been using Jack's for years and just add some cal/mag about once a week while in flower. Easy peazy. I use Happy Frog as my soil.

    Anyone use Jack's nutrients?

    And your question is? I use Jack's Bloom booster from beginning to end with Happy Frog. I just have to add cal/mag and it works fine. I know nothing about autos.

    Cutting two weeks early then straight water under lights?!

    I've known RM3 for several years now. I we have mutual personal friends too. I have personally smoked his weed, and have grown out one of his strains. With that said, I'm a simple grower. K.I.S.S. is my mantra. I know nothing about the science behind much of what RM3 writes...

    Help Starting a Seed in Root Riot Plugs

    I start my seeds in rapid rooter plugs all the time. It's the easiest way of getting many seeds going at once. I ensure the plugs stay moist by putting about 1/2" of water/feed in the tray. I also use a 1/2 dose of bloom nutes mixed with the gal of water I put in the tray as high P works well...

    Limo's CXB3590 build

    Give "Green Cleaner" a try.....pyrethrin really can mess up plants. http://www.amazon.com/Green-Cleaner-Ounce-Powdery-Fungicide/dp/B00LBJQU26 I've had good luck with it.

    Limo's CXB3590 build

    It's the sealing of the room with 1200 watts of HID's that causes me hesitation about CO2. I don't have the ability to run a splitter and the portable A/C I have sucks. My temps last summer WITH intake/exhaust venting hovered around 100 degrees.

    Limo's CXB3590 build

    One of the reasons I have not pulled the trigger on going with CO2 was the heat generated by my HID's. Now that it appears that even with 12 COB's blazing my room's temps went up a whopping 1 degree above ambient temps in the basement. CO2 is now a viable option that I will be taking on in the...

    Limo's CXB3590 build

    I have a combined 600ish watts of COB lighting in my flower room that had two 600 watt HPS hanging. So far....after 4 weeks the now eight plants I have under the COB are growing as they would under the HID's. To be honest......I'm happily surprised....and cautiously optimistic. The beauty of...

    Making a commercial grow operation indoor

    When I read this thread's title I thought I'd finally get to read a thread where there would be no "fucking idiot" stuff......this one went 3 pages before that crap started. Personally, I would go incrementally. Set up a $30K room....whatever size that is and reinvest after each harvest and...

    Do smaller pots make your plants stretch???

    I've experimented extensively with various pot sizes ranging from full grows in solo cups to 5 gal Home Depot pots. While pot size does affect a plant's growth...to a point, it does not affect how much stretch a plant will have.

    Lil Roach attempts a COB build.....

    And today it's finished: I had an absolute blast building this light. My brain certainly needed the mental exercises I put it through figuring out how to make a good light with a limited budget. I stand in this room and cannot imagine it being brighter with the more powerful 3070's and...

    Lil Roach attempts a COB build.....

    As you can tell I like "thinking out of the box" when contemplating a light-build. While not as pretty as the amazing lights other's have built and shared on here, my plants (so far) have not noticed how cheap I am. I have two flower rooms one is still under the HPS's that will be replaced if...

    Here's the set-up I made to hold the free end of the sink/crossmembers onto the fixture. There's three of these across the length of the fixture:
