How do you clean smart pots ? I used 2 gallon smart pots in my flood buckets to keep the perlite out of my system and the pots are full of roots. I turned them inside out and letting them fully dry hoping that it will be easier to rub or pick the roots out ?

I think the reason they go into flower after being inside under t-5s is that it's only a blue light spectrum. I am going to put a hps along with my t-5 to give them some red spectrum before they go outside so they are use to both red and blue. I just plan to run the 600 hps for a couple hours a day. what do you guys think?

I veg under 1000w mh, still not a lot of red but it has more than T5s. I just use T5s to make clones and start the seeds. I think part of it is going from 18 - 24hrs of light to 14 -16.

I use my hose with the water barely on and scrape the metal threaded end on them to get most of it off. The rest just stays.

hey double J!

might be getting into a house after all this season, just in the nick of time to throw some plants outside, maybe in a carport, or just all natural outside. Thanks for the inspiration!

hope everything is going well, and you guys aren't stressing yourself out to much with all the work!

Was it 50 years ago today? WOW. I saw a while back that you are going to the shows in June, that announcement made me a little mad, I totally get it, and would have appreciated it, had I not spent thousands of dollars on airline tickets to chicago, as well as crazy expensive tickets and $400 a night hotel. Crazy the thing we will do to be young again. I would have much rather driven a few hours down the hill than flown across the country, but I guess I will be able to be at 'the final" show.

I saw your photos of the little baby mantis, I too saw some little babies on my girls this week too and was surprised that they had shown up already. They truly are amazing little soldiers.
