I've never seen this kind of thing before, but I've only grown organically in soil before, and these are GH nutes in a DWC, so not sure if this is some deficiency that wouldn't often happen in soil. The plants in question seem otherwise healthy. Anyone have any thoughts about what might be...

Obviously it's some kind of beetle, not sure how it got in the grow room though. Any guesses what this guy is? Please tell me he's not a vegetarian....

Some entertaining quotes/stories coming out in these last few days before pot is legal in DC. This story had some of the better tidbits I thought...

As quick background, I'm a longtime soil grower but I had never tried my hand at any kind of hydroponics. But I have always been at least a little curious. So, I threw together a DWC bucket a couple months back but the plant I put in it was a mutant weird0 (that's a swear word?) with all sorts...

I'm always looking for new landrace sativas to try, their Shanghai Express sounds interesting if it is legit. Damn typo in subject... Should read Malberry.

I've put as much as 310w of CFLs (mostly 42w each) in my grow room without running into any heat problem. However, my exhaust fan is just a duct booster rated 80 cfm, and I'm worried it won't be up to the task if I upgrade to a 400w or 600w HPS. Is there an easy way to calculate how much...

So I've recently started my first DWC bucket, and it just occurred to me that unlike soil, which can easily survive a week or more without water if it's watered heavily first, my DWC setup seems to need at least daily pH, ppm, water level checks. How do DWC growers take vacations? I have one...

I've always been fairly happy with soil grows in the past, but I'm getting tired of sweeping up soil from the grow room floor, the bugs that hitch a ride in with soil, and having to either pay for top brand soil or gamble on the quality of a local one. So after some prognostication, I've...

So I made a run to the local hydroponics store today and got the things I needed for my first DWC bucket. However, I forgot rockwool cubes for seedlings/clones. Is there any reason I can't start them in perlite instead like I do for my soil grows? I have tons of that. Would hate to make another...

I've been trying to pin down why some of the lower fan leaves look prematurely splotchy, and the pH seems fine, nutrient levels should be OK. Then after watering tonight I noticed some nearly microscopic reddish things crawling around on the soil surface. They are tiny and fast so very hard to...

Came across this and thought it would make for interesting macro and trichome photos: http://www.instructables.com/id/10-Smartphone-to-digital-microscope-conversion/?ALLSTEPS He claims 325x with two lenses but I'm not sure that level of magnification would be useful for cannabis...

I assume this guy is a friendly, perhaps was attracted to the gnats I occasionally see, but I'm not positive. Anyone know what this is? I'm growing in soil, so there's a good chance it emerged from the soil. I hate to kill something if it's eating gnats, but I would also hate if it turns out...

I'm a long time soil grower, and I've had plenty of success with it, but I think I'd like to try my hand at hydro growing. I doubt I'll switch over completely, but I'm building a mother chamber and figured it would be a good opportunity to try it out. If I fall in love with it, then I'll...

Alrighty, I'll have some catching up to do here now that I'm migrating stuff over from some other forum ;).... I'll be starting out with a SCROG setup, but eventually the goal is to have two screens a couple months apart and maybe a few other plants in the room once I upgrade the ventilation...

I had tried to use this forum awhile ago from behind the Tor anonymizing service, but experienced lots of login issues. Looks like those are pretty much resolved, so I'm back! I've got a grow journal going on another forum that shall remain nameless, but I'll be transferring that over to here...
