I am in a coco DTW system. Having problems with iron precipitating out. I say iron… as it is black but I haven’t tested if it is magnetic. Just occurred to me. Regardless, black precipitate in my reservoir. Here’s the recipe I am following: GH Armor Si 3ml/gal Peters 3.4g/gal Calcinit...

That seems like the best way to go. Thank you.

So, I had to chop before my surgery. Although temp in my drying space is very stable, the humidity is not. It would be 25% if I didn’t have two large humidifiers holding it closer to 45-48%. Not ideal but not catastrophic. I did what I could to prepare for my absence and ran twin water hoses...

Thank you for the two links and for everyones perspectives. I have certainly considered leasing a building but I'm not terribly trusting of a landlord who might boot me out at the end of a lease while I have a viable crop and was anticipating signing a new lease or any other scenario with a...

I will be growing outside of city limits. What is FRP? If no wood frame, what is an acceptable alternative to wood and steel framing? Or do I just cough up the money for steel frame? Anticipated building size is 50'x100'. Would 4" pour concrete foundation be adequate?

Man, that is a wonderful post! So appreciative of that information and the offer for further questions. I might just take you up on that offer. Working on my business plan right now and, WOW!!!, so many questions and things to think about. I am working to enter the highly saturated...

There will be laws to guide me as far as construction goes, certainly. I CAN build this structure where I plan to cultivate. I will be abiding by the building permit and county codes. The state cannabis division just doesn't have much to say about the structure to be grown in. Sorry, I...

Unfortunately, laws here are pretty lax so I don’t even have those to guide me. Sheetrock doesn’t seem like the best choice for interior coverage. May I ask what your interior coverage is?

Formulating a business plan for commercial indoor cultivation. Looking to build a wood framed, metal sided facility with spray-in insulation to provide insulation and rigidity. What are concerns with this type of structure for this purpose? Anyone with experience? A red iron structure was...

I am a somewhat experienced grower with about 90 plants over 10-11 grows. I’ve been growing in coco with great results. I have no interest in leaving Coco. That being said, one of the issues with hydroponics is that you just don’t get the same flavor and aroma. I have been doing what I can to...

I like this advice very much. I think I will do exactly this. Thank you!

Yes sir, I am trying to do exactly that. I know that, in my area, humidity in the late summer and early fall can be significant resulting in mold. Thus, I am looking for mold resistant strains. My concern over flowering is also due to fear of mold. I would like to flower long enough to grow...

That is a fair answer. Thank you! How about this... I live in SW Missouri (zone 6). When you buy seeds, each variety comes with a flowering time measured in weeks. Given that I live in SW MO, what is the longest (in weeks) flowering seeds I should buy? 10? 11? 12 weeks? I appreciate the...

So, it was about nine weeks after solstice before they were showing flower? That really makes it even more difficult to predict finishing time. Are there any tools that would be helpful to make this prediction?

Getting ready for my first outdoor grow. I have completed about ten indoor grows but am a total noob at outdoors and will be soliciting information from time to time. So, my question is how long after the Summer Solstice do you typically start to see flower? Trying to get a handle on this so...
