    Hi I’m Len Hope you don’t mind me asking you a question. Saw a message that you are using Big Cannahuna Label instructions on the Bloom Booster states “to be used in combination with a base fertilizer solution on all types of flowering plants…” What base fertilizer should I be using? Is it not...

    Slap "cannabis" nutrients on it and charge 5x more?

    I just bought a pound jar of Veg and Bloom Dirty for $35 in Canada…looked at the ingredients and pretty much the same as my Miracle grow 24-8-16 (which has more N-P-K) and it cost me $10 for a 3.3 pound bucket. Also have Ferticare Bloom and Fruit (1-25-35) which I use for the flowering cycle...

    Re-use of soilless growing medium (Pro Mix - HP)

    Started to use Pro Mix- HP and I was wondering if because its a soilless mixture can it be re-used over and over? I suppose the question can be for any type of soilless medium. Can you mix a batch with say half new and half used? Seems like a waste to discard it after one grow. Can it be...

    Cheap alternatives to lower tap water PH

    Maybe it is the nutes? maybe because I add a bit of molasses also? I agree that if you leave water for a day or so the ph does drop..I have noticed that also

    Cheap alternatives to lower tap water PH

    Thats what I read when I looked into it. PH should go up with water aerating. Maybe its dropping because I am aerating the nute solution?. I mix it in a pail and then aerate overnight.

    Cheap alternatives to lower tap water PH

    Aerating also helps release the chlorine. I have no idea what acid rain effect is?

    Cheap alternatives to lower tap water PH

    Lately I have been aerating the nute solution using an old aquarium pump and stone. I start off with tap water with a ph of 7.2 and I have found I can drop the ph significantly by just aerating it…actually too much, so I have to limit the aeration. I started aeration to add oxygen to the roots...

    Ontario Law

    I suppose its like speeding…cops don’t bother if you’re 5 over but will pull you over if your 20 over. If you have issues with the law then sure it gives them a reason to mess with you, but otherwise they don’t care.

    Ontario Law

    Thanks for you comments. It’s pretty much what I was thinking. Pot growing is so prevalent now in Ontario I’m pretty sure cops don’t care if like you said have 4 in flowering and 4 small clones. Am sure they have bigger fish to fry. As far as getting a licence I have decided against getting...

    Soil questions

    I also started to air bubble the nute mixture a day before watering to add oxygen to the nutes. I had a old aquarium pump so just set it up with an air stone to bubble up the solution. Hoping this will add O2 to the roots. Didn’t cost me anything so hopefully it helps.

    Soil questions

    In my first attempt I used the following nutes: In veg state I add a Miracle Grow water soluble 24-8-16 at about 500ppm TDS. In the flowering stage I switch to Ferticare Bloom and Fruit 1-25-35 with TDS from 500ppm to 800ppm as plant develops. Both fertilizers have a mix of other minerals...

    Soil questions

    New grower here and I’m a bit confused about soil. I bought a bag of Pro-mix -HP to use for my next attempt. I was told from the manufacture that this is all I need and do not need to add or mix anything to it. I plan on feeding the plants with fertilizer when watering. So my question is...

    Help with how to judge LED light distance using a lux meter

    You can download a free app on your phone. I have Photone and it works pretty good. Just make sure you use a defuser per instructions (Piece of paper). Also I have my leds just inches above my plants and leaves have never burned.

    Double my LED's????

    Do you need a 5 x 5 area to grow 4 autos? Can’t you place them closer together so the light becomes more efficient? I grow 4 phots in a 2 x4 ft closet using 400w of led T5 and T8’s (all are 4 ft long). A bit crowded when full grown but they all get lots of light. I trim the bottoms so good air...

    ACMPR questions

    Just a starter and from what I have read getting an ACMPR is the way to go. Only plan on having 8 to 10 plants at any one time (half in veg and half in flowering). Here are my questions: 1. 5G/day with 25 plants license is all I need. The 25 plant limit is that at any one time or 25 plants...
