Hello to all, I have a question. Let's say that you are growing in soil and you keep a couple of containers of water with nutrients pre mixed. One of the containers has a mixture that is way too strong. The soil consists of 30% vermiculite, 30% worm castings, and 40% top soil that contained...

Hey what's up guys and gals? I was reading the stickies above for organics and one said to avoid feeding the worms "N" and strong "flavours" like onion, chilles, garlic, and citrus. Right now my wormbed's main diet is citrus and fruits, 70% citrus and 30% fruits such as apples, blueberries...

Hey guys, Its time for me too clone and I'm not very good at it yet. I know that longer branches are better. About a third of my girls are an Indica strain and there about 8 wks. The longest branches are two inches, will these clone? or is there a different technique for smaller and shorter...

Hey I have a question for you guys, About half my girls are about 30 days old from seed. The strain is unknown as far as a name but I know it is a good strain, They are only about 8" tall but also about 10"-12" around, (have they stalled?) They are short, thick, and very dark. They are very...

Mylar reflects 85% radiant heat energy so you need good ventilation, how much heat energy is reflected by flat white paint?

Yo whats up everybody, If you have "Family Dollar" stores where you live (I think its a national chain but I'm not sure) check out there gift wrapping paper. They have this mylar type material, its almost identical. You could use it for a mirror! One roll is 2.5' x 4' (10 sq. ft.) And of...

Okay it seems that Ive read somewhere it is best to starve the plant of nitrogen for a week and 24-36 hours before taking the cuttings to give the plant a dose of (K). Is this about right?

I am growing SOG, I'm using t5ho's for vegging. My current grow consist of 10 ladies of different strains, they are all 4 weeks old. Two or three of these plants are growing tall, almost twice as tall as the other seven. Can a young plant(4 wks old) be topped without negative results? Also while...

Yo whats up everyone. I have a small setup, the veg room is 3.5(L) x 4.5(w)x 8(h) and the flower room is the same size except 1 wider. I try to grow at least 6-8 plants at a time. A friend of mine, who also grows told me that with my setup I did not need to worry about adding any co2. He told...

I'm using t5HO's for vegg so I need to keep the lights fairly close. I had cloning issues and now I have my six plants but half of them are 2-3 weeks older, therefore they are taller and bigger. Of course my lights are set up to hang however they need to, lower or higher on either end but I...

hey was up guys. I have a worm bed and they eat only composting fruit...apples, blueberries,plums, and citrus. They are very healthy... when using the castings should the soil be worm free or does a few worms help if allowed to be left in the soil used for the final pots?/ 2qrt size

A question.... When cloning is it better to take cuttings that are thicker? For instance, the very bottom branches are smaller and thinner than the next ones up. The bottom ones are about 4-6 inches long, the next ones up are 6-9 inches long, and almost as thick as a pencil. The branches below...

Hey what's up guys, I went to water my ladies and discovered that my breaker flipped! I fixed the power problem and turned the lights back on. They were in the dark for 48 hrs. give or take a few.They are ready to be flipped to flower 12/12, they have been vegging under 24/0. I wanted to make...

I'm having trouble cloning! I've suffered 4 failed attempts. I would like to know how important is it that the ph of the water is around 6.0-6.5? I'm using a bubble cloner this time. If I do need to drop the ph from tap or bottled water, how do I do it? I read that vinegar lowers it and...

The exhaust for my G space is a 4" diameter pvc pipe that goes through the ceiling and outside. I have a high rpm fan installed inside the pipe in order to pull air out. The pipe runs above the roof of the shed about 8ft. Alltogether the top of this "chimney" is approx. 16-18 ft. high. In order...

This is my first grow and I'm using T5HO's for vegging on a 24/7 schedule and I plan on using HPS for flowering. I know the importance of not disturbing the day/night cycles in the flower stage. With the use of fluros for vegging the plants need to be close to the light source. I was wondering...

I live close to a lake (lakeview) I have gutters and can easily store rain water but the water from the gutters has a brown tint to it from the leaves in the gutter. Could this possibly make it better for the plants? they are oak leaves. If not I will clean the gutter. but which is better...

How does MJ handle being indoors at night under T5HO's with 5000 lm / 6500k. Then being brought outside for the day where by 11 o'clock they would be in direct sunlight for the remainder of the day unti around 4 when the sun is getting lower, then back inside so they don't experience any low...

My plants are 3-5 inches away from T5HO's I'm running a 6 bulb fixture with 4 bulbs on. The temp at the tops of my young plants is 91, is that too high? Ihave a good vent system but the way my fixture is designed the only way to get it cooler is to custom build an airtight hood connected to a...

I have two 6 bulb fixtures with T5HO's. If I run just one 24/7 I'm just wondering the increase in the power bill. I'm just asking for a ballpark figure although I wouldn't think that the $ amount would very to much for killowatt hrs. I was replied to with the formula to figure this out with a...
