    flood and drain

    I use coco in coco pots. Works nice, you can compost them when your done, and you only flood once a day, sometimes twice during late flower. The owners at my hydro shop and most of their customers swear by it. I have only used it once and I'm on my second run right now.

    Bedroom Grow

    I have a room just like yours, I put 2 600 hps's in the middle over a 3' X 6' table for hydro. I use the closet with a t5 in it to keep 1-2 mothers and clones for the next flowering cycle. Around my table I have panda plastic hanging to keep the light from getting away. The rest of the room...

    Vaccume sealed harvest

    I vacuum seal mine and they stay the same shape, size, and weight as when I put them in. When I vacuum I only allow it to go until the plastic first touches the bud, then I stop and seal. This way it doesn't crush the buds like you would think a vacuum sealer would do. It's airtight, more...

    I wanna join the 1g per watt club!

    I know it wont be easy, I just wanna start out with genetics that will put me down the right path. Oh and I must correct myself, I was leaning towards AK47 by Serious Seeds, not Nirvana. Nirvana has the AK48 if I'm not mistaken.

    I wanna join the 1g per watt club!

    Ok, I know I'm asking a lot, but I need a high yielding, potent strain that flowers in 60 days or less. I wanna join the 1 gram per watt club, lol. So far my choice is AK47 by Nirvana. But if anybody has achieved 1g per watt with something else, please list with about what your yield was please...

    Leaves turning Purple/Yellow & are very brittle

    The strain is Power Skunk, The temps are between 64 F and 79 F, I think the pots are growing that stuff because humidity is between 50% and 78%, however it doesn't appear to be powdery. It's a hydro setup and the guy at the store talked me into coco fiber and watering once a day. Well, I haven't...

    Leaves turning Purple/Yellow & are very brittle

    It is my 8th week of flowering which should be the last. The problem is a lot of my leaves are turning a dark purple/yellow. Mostly purple, with yellow thrown in. The other thing is they are very hard and brittle. I've grown before, but never saw this. I mean, my leaves would turn yellow and...

    600 watt ballasts

    Reservoir emptying/filling

    Sorry I didn't answer your question H.G., looks like I never subscribed to this thread. Once I get it in the res I add nutes then PH. My table only fills once a day, so I have plenty of time without worrying about table filling while I'm working.

    Reservoir emptying/filling

    To drain my tank I do exactly the same thing, I attach a hose to a pump and pump it to the bathroom. To fill my tank I have a reverse osmosis filter hooked up under my sink. It has a switch and a hose running from it. I connect the hose to a float valve in a 55 gallon drum and turn on the R.O...

    What are those brown flakes in my reservoir?

    This is my second time doing hydro. I Just got done cleaning my reservoir and no matter how hard I try, I can't get all those brown flakes out of my tank. As soon as I turn the pumps back on they shoot them everywhere. Anyways, this happened last time and everything turned out fine. But this...
