    Aluminum decarb?

    I'm extremely confused on decarbing temps & times. I've read SO many different things, and don't want to cook it too long. One thing I read was lower temps/longer times....and, also read a little longer to get CBD's to come out....but... The last time, I read an article about boiling bag at 212...

    Who makes the best magnifier, looking for a good one.

    Thanks! I've been looking through a REALLY tiny one, and it's been awful trying to figure out what we're looking at..... is it or is it not clear? etc...... it won't stay in focus or get clear enough long enough to tell.....so, I just ordered one of these (actually the one just a little larger...

    When do I change from using Grow Big to Big Bloom?, etc?

    I found out a little late about using less....but, at least it didn't seem to hurt the plants. I'll be checking the feeding schedule. thanks, Budzbuddha.

    When do I change from using Grow Big to Big Bloom?, etc?

    @OldMedUser , Sorry about your mom...and, possibly you. But, you're right about the docs! If you think the ones up there don't have a clue, it's totally backwoods down here in the south! They have NO idea what to do and I have to travel 2 hours just to find a Dr who knows anything and will treat...

    Thank you for your detailed reply. I'm glad to know he's not just paranoid. Sounds like you've done your homework. Thanks for the good information. We have nine plants . I can't carry water that far out, as I'm very weak, with fibromyalgia. I couldn't expect my husband to lug water out that...

    When do I change from using Grow Big to Big Bloom?, etc?

    Thanks. I got overly worried this years since I spent $$ on the seeds instead of using bag seeds. I want the best results I can get. I've spent hours going through threads, but maybe not the right ones. I'll check out the ones for beginners; maybe I missed something. I think the bag seeds were...

    When do I change from using Grow Big to Big Bloom?, etc?

    I guess no one knows, or it isn't important enough to answer???? Actually, I don't think either of those is the reason there are no responses. I really would like to know...any one????

    My plants are consuming fertilizer faster than I can put it on! (according to PH meter)

    Chemphlegm, sounds like what I was wanting to hear anyway. It seemed over the top to me. I'll check on that. thanks.

    My plants are consuming fertilizer faster than I can put it on! (according to PH meter)

    nah, not $7 one, but a $18 one ;). I looked & looked; read the threads & so many different opinions. I don't trust it either....also just sayin' ;). My plants did just fine a couple of years ago without a meter. The only ones that were totally trusted cost more than I am willing to spend. I...

    When do I change from using Grow Big to Big Bloom?, etc?

    Hello again, Yep, I'm a newbie, and this is my first grow with "real" seeds. My previous grow was with a handful of unknown seeds that grew in all different sizes and shapes. It was interesting, and the weed not too bad, but I'm trying to get some medical relief, so I spent the money for some...

    My plants are consuming fertilizer faster than I can put it on! (according to PH meter)

    It's not the ph that told me it was nitrogen deficient. I went by the look of the leaves. I checked thread after thread and looked at zillions (it seemed that way!) of photos and determined that was the cause of the yellowing, spotting and dropping of leaves. When I got my meter, the one that...

    My plants are consuming fertilizer faster than I can put it on! (according to PH meter)

    They're in 15-20 gallon pots. I'm just learning about the Ph meters and what they read. I read the threads all day a few weeks ago trying to find what to buy and what they tell you. I think I did better two yeas ago when I planted 'johnny appleseed' seeds (a handful given by a friend who had...

    My plants are consuming fertilizer faster than I can put it on! (according to PH meter)

    I've been using Fox Farm Grow Big 6-4-4 for my plants. I noticed some looked Nitrogen deficient, so I bought a ph meter just to check......well, now, I'm finding even after fertilizing the ph is still 6.5. .. the next day, most are reading 7.0. I'm using 3 tsp per gallon (it says 2-3). The...

    When do I start topping my little plants?

    Okay, I wasn't bold.... I FIM'ed them all. I hadn't been out there in three days, and they were all about 9" tall now. I just couldn't cut them down to two sets of leaves, so, all FIM'ed. Since these are the first GOOD seeds I've had, I've never seen them start to flower so small. Some of them...

    When do I start topping my little plants?

    This is my 2nd grow. The first was with "johnny appleseed" seeds (a handful from a friend, and all different....none very good); this time I purchased them online and they are GOOD seeds, and not very many so I want to make sure I do it right. I didn't top the first year, so only had VERY tall...

    PROBLEM:Outdoor garden & will be gone for a week!

    Sounds good. We're already getting ready to make the order. I'm glad I read the part about the number of emitters. I want there to be enough water! We'll be starting them early, and maybe even use them to water daily anyway! It will save going out there every other day to water each plant...

    PROBLEM:Outdoor garden & will be gone for a week!

    Thanks for the suggestions. It sounds do-able....It is OUTDOORS, not inside, so we don't need to worry about the hot greenhouse anyway. I'll look up the kit and see if it can be used outdoors, and go from there. I guess if I put the containers close together (we had them in a larger circle last...

    PROBLEM:Outdoor garden & will be gone for a week!

    I finally bought some good seeds this year, and planned a great garden this year only to find out we have an out of state wedding to go to in late May.... One, we are unable to miss, as it is my brother's daughter...So, my dilemma is how to water the plants while I'm gone. Here's what we have...

    How soon do you treat soil with Dominion 2L before planting?

    Thank you. I guess if I would have bought it first, I would have seen the instructions :idea:!
