I've noticed that some of the leaves (not receiving as much direct light) will have water condensed on their shaded areas. What are they trying to tell me? MPB

You know if I put "LED vs. Fluoro" nobody would have viewed the thread. But, seriously, I've had to make some adjustments to my setup and I need to choose what lighting to use for my veg chamber. I've read plenty of grow journals and endless commentary on fluoro vs. LED, but they don't really...

After catching myself rambling in one-too-many threads about my problems, I realized it was time to concentrate this therapeutic form of expression into a journal where I can be vulnerable before my peers and accept their criticisms and praise. Here is the story of one man and his quest for...

In trying to decide whether to use one or the other of these products, I asked Canna if they could explain the differences in terms of EC and the amounts necessary to achieve the same concentrations. If you aren't familiar, BioCanna is about twice as expensive as Aqua per liter and little...

Okay, I just finished building my indoor grow system a couple of months ago and to test the setup I used some bagseed from middies. I can't even begin to describe to you the frustration that I've experienced in trying to cultivate this stuff. Every aspect of this grow has been scrutinized until...

No, not me, the nutes. Are Blue Mountain Organics nutes just weak to begin with or am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else had any experience with these? I'm mixing them in RO/0ppm water according to their specs and I'm not getting anywhere near the TDS concentrations that are typically...

I keep adjusting my pH down everyday by at least 1point. Using BMO Grow it Green and Super Plant Tonic, which are naturally acidic. Plants are in Hydroton pellets in custom DWC setup. Will the Hydroton cause this migration toward alkalinity? Should I be pH correcting them before I use them...

This is a question originally posed to Hick, who, being a soil farmer, recommended that I post it here for accuracy and the enlightenment of all. Hello Hick, I was reading the sticky on nutrient requirements and I was wondering, when it states that TDS should be from 800-3000 ppm, what...

I need to purchase some pH Up/Down solutions and I would appreciate any recommendations from personal experience. There are a lot of different ones out there and no indication of what makes one better than another. Thanks, MPB p.s. I'm trying to go all organic, but if there's one that is...

Does anyone have any insight or recommendations on what to look for in a wetting agent? I've read about Coco-Wet and Dutchmaster Penetrator, but don't have much more to go on than their marketing materials. Thanks, MPB

For a couple of weeks now I've been pouring over all of the plant problem troubleshooters to try and figure out why my babies are steadily starting to die. With the exception of certain maladies, the symptoms are undifferentiable. So, please, if anyone knows what's happening, there isn't much...

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, but has anyone tried using baking soda to make an air scrubber or at least tried to mix it with active carbon to see if there's any advantage?

Could anyone tell me what the optimal seed germination temperature is?
