Does H2O2 actually break down organic matter like roots or does it just disinfect the clay balls?

Any tips for getting rid of the old roots and salt buildup? I read a couple old posts and saw some info about sterilizing it but not much about getting rid of all the old roots.

Thanks, I just started running a small heater and the room is warming up nicely. I'll read up on the inkbird 608 and in the meantime it be fairly easy to keep in the range with the temperature dial on the heater.

I've been noticing very slow growth lately as the temp in my basement has dropped with the weather and I realize I need to do something to raise it as the cold weather will persist for a number of months. Previously it hadn't been much of a problem as I had less efficient lights that threw out a...

I've been through a few grows now utilizing a 5'x5' tent and i'm starting to run into the problem of plants getting too top heavy and unable to support themselves. I grow in 2.5 gallon hempy buckets with straight perlite and do a lot of super-cropping to spread the plants out and keep the height...

Bringing up this thread because I'm wondering what the best options are now. I wanted to give the Elite scissors mentioned in this thread a try but it looks like they've been discontinued :(

Thanks Poopy lol. That should do the trick!

Built an aerocloner and was pleased to be able to achieve close to 100% rooting success rate on my first time using it. I'd planned to pick the best and toss the rest but decided to gift a few to a friend. I am growing in 100% perlite hempy buckets but my friend will be growing them in soil...

Hello, Running straight perlite hempy buckets and things are going well. Just started flowering and the 2 gallon buckets dry up pretty quick. Not a problem when I'm home (although it is getting to be a lot of work bending over and watering by hand all the time) but the real problem is that I...

I've been using the Lucas formula with Maxibloom with added CalMag and have gotten pretty good results. I'm almost out of Maxibloom and need to order more nutrients so I wanted to learn more about Jack's. I'm all about cost savings and efficiency and from what I've heard Jack's is the best...

Running straight perlite hempy buckets with the Lucas formula (Maxibloom at 7g/gallon of tap water). Plants are at about week 4/5 of veg but appear to be a lighter lime green color then previous grows using the same nutes. I recently went to much stronger lighting so I thought perhaps that was...

I'm pumped! I think I'll turn the Vipar into my veg light for mothers, clones and veg before throwing them into the 5x5 with the 2x 320 watt units so I can get a sort of perpetual thing going on. Previously you'd mentioned that I'll probably need cal mag now. Is that just to help support...

Ended up purchasing 2x kingbrite lights. LM301H + 660 epistar + 12pcs UV+ 12pcsIR I'm excited to see what they do in a 5x5. Going from a Viparspectra blurble light off amazon I'm hopeful it will be a big improvement.

Ok guys, thanks for the help. Got it narrowed down to two different options based on your recommendations that I go with 2X 320w units for the 5x5 space. 1) $431 for 2X LM301b + 660 Epistar 2) $495 for 2X LM301H + 660 epistar + 12pcs UV+ 12pcsIR Pretty similar but I'm leaning toward option #1...

I'd like to build my own light and probably will sometime but since I need a light sooner rather then later I think I need to get something soon. Seems like the best value plug and play option I've found is this Chinese one: Meijiu Hlg550 knockoff This will be mainly my flowering light at...

I will continue reading through the Quantum board thread for some ideas. I would like to wait for the new HLG boards but I honestly need the light sooner then a few months from now. Is 3.0umol/J really that much of a leap forward in terms of efficiency? I don't know enough yet to have an...

Awesome info and pics, thanks for sharing. I'll try that on grow 4 after this one finishes. Its fun trying different things and getting better each time, hope I grow something that impressive sometime! In your opinion, all other things being equal, would you expect a higher yield from maybe 6...

Ran hempys for my 2nd grow ever (currently on #3) using straight perlite. I was pleased with the results and found it easy to work with. I often have to travel for up to 5 days at a time and this has caused some concern with going too long between waterings. Luckily I've been able to have people...

Cool, thanks for the advice. This go around I'll try topping and supercropping for my first time with those techniques but I'll look into picking up some fencing and zip ties to experiment with a type of Scrog net set-up like you suggested. Having the potential of doubling the yield seems well...

Ok, so it sounds like the DIY option is the least expensive option and won't be very difficult beyond assembling a few components and sourcing some angle aluminum. I've read a lot of people are happy with the results from the meiju and kingbrite knockoffs on Alibaba so I'm inclined to go that...
