    Coir Monotub

    Nice tub. Only a few things I would try to improve. The ratio of spawn to coir to verm is very important. Adding more of one thing or the other doesn't really help, it's all about the ratio you have. I use 4 litres of coir, 4 litres of verm, and a cup of tea grounds in a very small bin, ends...

    Tobacco Juice - Is it really organic?

    You can boil the water with the tobacco in it to kill off the tobacco mosaic virus. Bring to a light boil for 10 mins. Soaking tobacco in water is about as organic as you can get. Natives used it for centuries. What do you guys think a pesticide is? No matter what you use it HAS to be harmful...

    Any way to wire up this 38w 168v fan?

    Nobody has any suggestions? Google hasn't been very helpful either, unless I can find the exact output from another power adapter.

    Any way to wire up this 38w 168v fan?

    I had a loose socket that burned out a sharp air ionizers electronics board. So I opened it up to try and fix it, which turned out to be impossible. But the fan seemed like it should be ok, as well as the actual air Ionizer package. If anyone could help with this I'd really appreciate it, want...

    Beer Bottle Cloning for N00bs

    Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. A lot of people mist for clones, I think they need about 70% humidity max, or mine at least start to do worse. So if you are in a drier area then maybe dome them, or if they're in a colder area and you have them close to a fluorescent bulb then a humidity tent...

    Beer Bottle Cloning for N00bs

    Thanks guys! Picked this trick up from some salvia growers back in like 2005-2006... before it was sold in every store, and then made illegal in most places... Well I thought this must be standard tech among weed growers, but some google searches only yielded a few experiments, or questions...

    Mixing your own nutrient solutions in Canada

    Here is 1 pic I was able to get. This is a 1 month old BC God Bud grown from seed in 50/50 coir/perlite in a 2L pepsi bottle, using a heavily modified "Lucas Forumla" As you can see it's pretty healthy :) Those leaves are about the size of your hand (palm with fingers!) Unfortunately it wasn't...

    Beer Bottle Cloning for N00bs

    So you want to clone your nice plant do you? And maybe you've been running around the forum, looking up rooting hormone posts, and if it's necessary or not to have rooting hormone? And then you went onto wondering which medium would be the best, peat pucks, rock wool maybe? How about instead...

    Mixing your own nutrient solutions in Canada

    All that AN stuff you'll end up mixing yourself. And with much better quality ingredients. Some of those things are simply one chemical that we've already listed. And AN is currently being accused by 3 states of using cheap mineral salts in their mixtures. Which calls for an impromptu...

    Old Wives' Tales Die Hard

    See now I've just stopped listening to you. You can't even do 2 grows under 2 different controlled methods? Then you have no business lecturing anyone on lighting cycles. There's no expense there, beyond your standard grow. The hardest part would be remembering to take the pictures every few...

    Mixing your own nutrient solutions in Canada

    Almost perfect mixture indeed zem! Very nice! Very vibrantly green shiny leaves. Healthy healthy plants. The buds look amazing already. And best of all with chemicals, you'll get that result everytime if you stick with the same strain you formulated it for. By the way, which strain is that zem...

    Old Wives' Tales Die Hard

    Great! Seriously though, people who actually verify their methods are the best people to have on the forum. So slap up a comparison journal, 14/10 veg, 11/13 bloom VS. 24/0 veg 12/12 bloom. Keep a record of temps, and times it takes to grow them, and try to keep the nutrient solutions...

    Week 10 of flower, Fan leaf tips burnt

    Crank back the nutrient concentration a bit. The leaf burn is just the plant sacrificing leaves to save its health. The plant is perfectly fine, the leaf tips are the only thing screwed. Give it water for a day then go back to a weaker nutrient solution. Flush the last week if you really want...

    Mixing your own nutrient solutions in Canada

    Unless you have some sort of mineral buildup, it should always come out tasting fine. The main factor in your smoke quality will be your drying/curing method. The chemicals you're providing to the plants are identical to the one organic fertilizers provide, the only difference is bacteria has...

    New smart meter can easily detect large grows.

    Oh yes the electrical transponders for the E-grid. I forgot about those. I thought they were mainly for high wattage appliances, like the fridge, stove, tv, and maybe computer. I did see a documentary where they talked about putting them in everything, with the wistful future look in their eyes...

    Mixing your own nutrient solutions in Canada

    I haven't experimented with it too much yet, but I was mainly going to get all the micro nutrients separately so I could mess around with them and see if I can get any yield differences. However you have convinced me to search out a premixed micro nutrient powder to add to my mix, as a control...

    New smart meter can easily detect large grows.

    Well they are installed and in full force here, mandatory also. Let me explain NALM (or NILM) for those of you who didn't understand it again. So as the one guy said, oh no 300watts, I could be leaving on a... No you couldn't, they know EXACTLY what the appliance is. Appliances are mass...

    Insufficient/Incorrect Flushing Before Harvest= Different Color Ash?

    Homebrewers post on the cuban cigar differences is something I have read into also. The myth of the white ash is said to have come from the fact that Cubans had limited access to fertilizers, and were using less controlled organic fertilizers, rather than our chemical fertilizers. Therefore...

    Old Wives' Tales Die Hard

    Have to say, if 12/12 works, it's not an old wives tale. You're just saying 11/13 works better, can anyone give support to this? Ever had more bud production as a result of 11 hours? I've tried the 24 vs 18, and the plants vegged for 24 hours are always a lot bigger, a lot quicker. Under 16...
