I have not been able to connect to The Seed Depot for a couple days. Is anyone else having that problem? The error message says "this page can not be displayed". When I run the fix connection tool, it states "the website is online but isn't responding to connection attempts".

Thought it would be nice to start a thread to get the pros and cons of using Root Stimulators. Do you use them? What results have you seen with them. Two popular products are Rapid Start by General Hydroponics and Root Excelurator by House and Garden. Which do you think is better? Have you...

I am making some supersoil. I just opened my trash can to find hundreds of small bugs connected at their rear running around in the bin. They appear to have wings, and are about 1/32 of an inch long. They also look like they can run in either direction. I have had many fungus gnats over the...

Well I had about 5 gallons of Supersoil left in a container. It was dry so I rewetted it to get the soil life going again. I think I got it too wet, and now it has a bad smell. It is not a sweet organic smell but more of a sewer smell. I am concerned I got the bad anaerobic microbes going...

Well I posted this over in the plant problems forum but with 120 views and no replies I thought I may have better luck over here with people using SubCool"s soil recipe. I need some help with diagnosis and solutions. This is my first grow in SubCool's supersoil recipe. The plants were doing...

I need some help with diagnosis and solutions. This is my first grow in SubCool's supersoil recipe. The plants were doing great until a couple weeks ago when I started to notice the new growth taking on a lime green color. It starts at the base of the leave and works out to the tips which...

I am noticing that once I PH my water and let it sit that the PH gradually rises again. My tap water is 7.6. I start by leaving this out 24-48 hours to remove the Chlorine. I then use citric acid to adjust my water PH to 6.4. When I check some of that water a day or two later the PH has...

One of my biggest challenges has always been diagnosing plant problems. My plants are 3 weeks old, and I am starting to notice some yellowing of the first set of leaves, and a couple leaf tips turning brown. I am using an organic soil, Victory Brand Superior Garden Soil, that I have amended...

I am growing tomato rootstock for the first time. All six of the small rootstock plants have a blistering on their leaves, and the leaves are curling under. I looked for insects on the bottom of the leaves, and did notice a couple very small grey round patches with my 30x loupe. Does anyone...

My city water ranges from 250-450 TDS with an average of 300. My PH is average of 7.6. I am using Subcools soil mix for the first time for this grow. Can I use this city water just leaving it out 24 hours to eliminate the Clorine? If so, should I PH my water down to 7 before using. How...

I had this plant in a 1 gallon pot. I had severe claw and tip burning because I think I was using too strong of Flora Nova. I also noticed new growth tips were burning and curling up. I flushed, and repotted into a 5 gallon pot one month ago into plain Victory potting soil. I have not been...

Just experienced what I will call a backwards hermaphrodite. Typically, stress can cause a femaie to produce male flowers. I had a white grape male that I was growing to collect pollen to make some seeds. The male plant was in the garage under low light stressed conditions. I recently...

Well I thought i posted this last night but can not find it. So if it appears twice somewhere I apologize. Without adding a dehumidifier, how does everyone keep the humidity down in their grow rooms when starting straight in 7 gallon pots? I seems like when I start with a large pot, it really...

With the Subcool Super Soil method and 7 gallon pots from the start, I get a lot of humidity in my small grow room. The pots also take a very long time to dry out when the plants are small. This can contribute to peat flys, and symptoms of overwatering. Without getting a dehumidifier, is...

I have a Lambo that is 8 weeks into flower. It just produced it's first late season banana. I want to let the plant go a couple more weeks but do not want it to self pollenate. Has anyone had success removing bananas, or should I just cut that bud off. The bananas always seem to form in the...

I am sure this has been discussed somewhere in this thread before but I can not locate it. Does Subcool recommend flushing with his supersoil? I plan to use it next run with only water as he recommends. I have never done a 100% organic run like this so I am looking forward to it. Some say no...

I am looking for the different methods you all use after doing an open pollination in a grow room to insure you have all the remaining pollen cleaned and removed before the next run. Currently, I would typically isolate the male, and collect the pollen for individual dusting of bud sites with a...

Has anyone used the Victory Brand Superior Garden soil as the base soil? I am making a small batch of Subs Supersoil, and 2/1 Ocean Forest/Light Warrior would be too much mix for me. A lot of the premium soils list the ingredients that Sub looks for in a soil. This one does as well. I have...

I will be starting a new grow soon, and plan to use Subcool's soil mix. I was wondering if anyone has used/tried any supplements with Subcool's soil recipe. I have used his mix with great success. I have also used his mix with a little extra King Neptune's fish emulsion and Maxicrop sea weed...

For those of you that have grown Nirvana's products, I am looking for input/guesses as to which of their strains this is from one of their Indoor Mix Packs. It is definitely a sativa leaning variety. These photos are at week 12 total with 3 weeks of veg, and my guess is these have at least...
