    I dont think I can say I have ever experienced the Medical effects of Different Strains

    Yep! Sorry. Suggests you may need a fusion. I have rods and screws holding my lower lumbar together - L1 - L4. Neurosurgeon will clean out the stenosis buildup between discs during the op. Possible side effect is nerve damage which may affect your sex life. There are areas below my waist...

    I dont think I can say I have ever experienced the Medical effects of Different Strains

    Have a friend, late 60's, who's been smoking joints all day long for decades. That abuse caught up with him 2 years ago with throat cancer. The treatments, the severe loss of weight and gum/teeth damage was severe as a result. He will never be the same. Moderation is key. I am a lightweight...

    I went with Viparspectra KS5000 after weeks of research. This company has the right idea when it comes to outside distribution of the diodes. From the center to the sides/corners there's only a differential of about 105 PPFD at a height of 16", 16 s.f. space. It's also easier to hang cause...

    If you're looking to ditch the mylar and use white paint, BEHR PREMIUM PLUS #PR-W15 Ultra Pure White Semi-Gloss Enamel Low Odor Interior Paint & Primer has the highest LRV (light reflective value) of any coming in at 94.4! My walls will have it.

    I too hate perlite. It is dusty (wear a mask when handling) and being soft breaks down. Coarse vermiculite is my choice. Take advantage of the free shipping and get a giant bag. https://www.amleo.com/ Ordered goodies a couple of days ago which includes 50# of osmocote 15-9-12 which I'll use...

    Look at the diode arrangement of the Vipar. The ends of the bars are increased in diodes to allow more perimeter PAR output. Both have a 3 year warranty, if that matters. I also favor buying American, HLG.

    Thanks. Think I'm going for this one. I've researched this stuff to death with the videes, par values charting, etc. Actually it's a toss up with this and the HLG 600R spec on sale for $521. HLG is heavy in weight and doesn't have the outbound light distribution that the ViparSpectra KS5000...

    Good job on using a root tip pruning system, your pots. Been using them for decades beginning with Griffin's Spin-Out, RootMaker pots including fabric and now will try MicroKote for my next grow of indicas. I have very large citrus, mango and avocado trees growing in RootBuilder, bottomless...

    Am honored to me you sir. You're on the right track regarding nutrition. If you need to increase N during flowering then do it. Ignore the "advice", read your plants. It's leaves that the provide carbos for flower production. Support that unit unit during the entire cycle and you'll be...

    There are plenty of forums for political discourse. It would be a lot easier for a mod to tell someone doing their "Trump sucks" drill to tell them NO in a growing forum than put up with trash in a Political forum that is basically that - trash talking. Point well taken on the affiliation drill.

    After all this time "they" still haven't figured out that RIU would be a better place without any politics discussion.

    1. The "new" Rolli banned me for my conservative views. Typical intolerant Twitter type censorship from the far left it twas. The "old" Rolli and I were good friends. He was open minded, accepted view points other than his own. We chatted often in the old days. 2. Every cannabis forum has a...

    Another forum paradigm that just won't die - if things are wonky, gotta be a deficiency of Mg. As long as you're supplying a balanced NPK and micros package with the secondaries of Ca and Mg you should be OK. Mg chlorosis only shows up as a pale yellow tissue on LOWER leaves first then works...

    Amazon just dropped the price on the 5000 overnight. Warranty is pretty short on this line though, like 3 years. I'd also like to buy American made. Yes I know, all imported components..... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MTSY9G2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1BSXM5KIS5MZE&psc=1

    Last time I looked that thread had over a million views. Original thread was parsed regarding important photos. That 4 cola plant shown above was taken outdoors and one of the first ones I did my technique on. It was a Brothers Grimm Indoor/Outdoor mix I got from Ron, owner of Heaven's...

    Yours truly, but not necessarily at your service. I am busy, yet as in the old days always willing to help, IF, you noobs bother to do your homework, learn what makes a plant tick, get off the forum lame paradigms like "leafing" and using cannabis specific nutes, etc. Now, does that sound like...
