Phosphoric Acid is a good Ph down.. Mix your water, nutes and acid then check the Ph.

Back in the 1960's U.S. insurance companies sent agents and even a few doctors north to Canada to stop the implementation of Universal Health Care. Now if the U.S. system of health delivery was so much better why in the world would they spend millions of dollars to stop an inferior system?

If you are trying to look at the trichs on the plant itself you can't get it steady enough. Snip a tiny piece of leaf, place it on a white piece of paper then use your microscope.

Without a hood think of it as wasting half of yer lumens.. When you get to flowering you'll want all that light on yer girlies.. Installing the hood (roast pan) will take you all of 10 minutes.. The mylar would sure help as well. Good luck.

A grower I know used six 40's overhead and three 26ers at the sides for four plants in soil on a 24/0 cycle. The harvest was great with nice sized cola's. His last grow he bought a 400 hps for the last 30 days of flowering.. The results were that the cola's were a little bigger but much much...

omni, Here is a trick you might try. To better focus your lights onto yer babies buy one of those throw-away aluminum roast pans. Fashion it above the light bulbs upside down. It will work like a hood and you won't be wasting lumens illuminating your ceiling.

And who says Arnold ain't in Bush's hip pocket.... What a pile of crap.. Hemp farming is legal in Canada. Maybe with tobacco sales falling, more farmers will be making the switch to growing hemp..

Foil will reflect but poorly. Mylar is a whole lot better. If you can't use Mylar or the Panda plastic (white one side black the other) then I'd suggest flat white paint and if you can't use that then how about white bristol board? Tack or staple it to the walls.

A suggestion... Get aquainted with the weight of your buckets just before you water them. Using this method you'll get a good idea when they'll be thursty. Also watch the leaves as they get closer to watering time. You'll notice how they begin to look sort of limp lookin.. That's about the time...

"He did say that he doesn't favor making marijuana legally available for purchase." Then would leaving it in the hands of criminal gangs still be a good idea??

G G is right but it should also be mentioned that once you go to HPS for your flowering cycle you'll be running into heat issues in your closet.

MH lights have more blue spectrum for vegging and HPS is better suited for flowering as they have more in the red spectrum. Decisions, decisions eh..

Leave them.. Never cut off leaves. It's like taking away the plants food supply. Leaves not only store nutes but are crucial for photosynthesis.

If you kept them in a cool dry place and sealed then they may be viable. Germinating a few of them will tell ya for sure..

and if you don't see any condensation just lightly mist the inside of the dome/cover not the clones themselves.
