    I need a soil recipe...I'm trying to spread out my Fox Farm Ocean Forest

    Still looking for worm castings. Yes, the compost pile is something I'd like to try, if nothing but for my regular outside garden. I am not sure about the negative attributes of the peat moss that was mentioned....I have found it in a lot of recipes and I use a little bit of it. I want to say I...

    I need a soil recipe...I'm trying to spread out my Fox Farm Ocean Forest

    I have looked at a LOT of different recipes. I have Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Most of my pots are 15 - 20 gallon and it's just too expensive to fill the pots. I want to fill the bottom with something else. I went to Home Depot and bought the following: Cheap Potting soil ($5 for 2.0 cubic feet)...

    how to get rid of mites between cycles?

    I use a vacuum. It works well. That is more what to do when there are mites at the end. I leave the bud attached to the stem and it is still fairly strong. Post your results.

    Dumb question

    OK, so no one responded. I contacted Advanced Nutrients' technical support and I was able to speak to a real person, instantly. I liked that. In case someone reads this later... Yes, you can use Big Bud for a soil grow. My logic was it has all these great nutrients, why can't I? I guess when...

    When should I start to bud? Pics

    UPDATE I lowered the light - I'm not sure, probably about 15". I'm not sure if you can see the two 20 gallon pots on the left side. I'm worried about them not receiving enough light. They are below the shade line the light casts around the room, but I don't think they are receiving enough...

    When should I start to bud? Pics

    Ya, for about 6 weeks the lights were 5' away. I created a platform and they're now 16" taller, so 3.5' away. You guys still think that is too far away? Veg room is 7' x 8' or so. Bud room is 11' x 14'. I'm using Advanced Nutrients. It's the lower dose version where you give them nutes for 6...

    When should I start to bud? Pics

    Plants are about 7 weeks old under 1000 mh (from clone). I just topped them this past week (late, I know). Just raised them off of the ground and switched most to 10 gallon pots from 3 gallon. 2 were transplanted into 20 gallon pots a few weeks ago and are among the tallest (though not the...

    When to veg?

    I was thinking June 1, about 3 weeks away. I figured 30" was TOO tall given my height restriction.

    When to veg?

    Some of the dozen or so girls are just now legal (18" - 21"). About 5 - 6 weeks old. Height restriction. Ceilings are under 7'. To the the bottom of the hood is 66". Subtract a foot+ for the smart pot and my height would be 54". 11' x 14' room for bud room, so there aren't horizontal...

    Need Ventilation Help + Rep

    Watch the first half of this video. The first half or so is on room construction in basement and the second half is on setting up a hydro grow. This is the crazy guy in the green. He does good vids without trying to sell you anything. I found this linked by someone else. As they say...

    Need Ventilation Help + Rep

    With a basement, I thought I'd have issues of too much humidity. Boy, I could not have been more wrong (didn't need to spend that $150 on a DE-humidifier). The earth's temperature remains a constant 50° - 55°. This means basements tend to be cool in the summer and not too cold in the winter...

    First grow 10 day old clones not doing too well

    I will stop using the halogen. Thanks. I have 2 plant 40 watt fluros. 1000w metal halide blue is probably 5' - 6' away and I kind of figured it was too much for it, I don't run it the 20 hours a day. I have a humidadome (it was off for the pic). They're about $7 at the grow shop. They have...

    First grow 10 day old clones not doing too well

    I know they are not rooting. I started with 10 or 12, down to 6 decent ones and only getting worse. Temperature is 82 with light on and 65 when lights are out. Lights on 20 hours a day. Water with just water. I was using tap and then switched to distilled from Wally's. For light, I have a...
